Part of professional development is to learn from those in charge, the leaders and managers. Every citizen has a vested interest, morally and financially, in the ability of our elected officials to e...

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Many people would like to apply that old saying to the Cathlamet Fire Department and Mayor George Wehrfritz's efforts to bring its management under his control. The department operates under an arrangement created in 1932. It put supervision of the department under the Cathlamet Commercial Club, which now operates as the Chamber of Commerce, with that supervision subject to approval by the town council. Over the years, the department grew to be a strong organization that operated largely on its own, with its...

The board intends to collect a 9 percent increase for the electric side of the utility and has yet to determine how much of an increase to charge water customers of either Puget Island Water System (PIWS) or the Western Wahkiakum Water System (WWWS) systems.

It looks like we'll continue to have some decent weather this week. As a matter of fact, last weekend was perfect. I heard from Kelly Hammond in Virginia and she and other family members had gone inland and were just fine, and even upon returning home, only found minor damages to the house. Jamie Kincaid was fine in North Carolina and didn't even...

First, it was exhausting for those involved, but the Third Annual Cathlamet Downhill Corral longboard festival provided a weekend of entertainment. Competition was more keen than ever. Longboarders came from Canada, the East Coast and all over The West to compete. They brought some of the big names in the sport, too, the pioneers who figured out how to do all those moves. Longboarding is what I call an alternative sport. It doesn't have a lot of money. Competitors love the thrill, and they learn by challenging themselves, meaning most of us wou...
