At least we are seeing some real spring like weather the past few days. The temperatures are still colder than normal, I think. The poor cherry trees and apple trees aren’t sure whether they should start to bloom or not.

SAME THING--I think saying "it's raining...again...still" is getting pretty monotonous, as we seem to start a lot of our weeks that way and end them like that as well--all wet! However, they say by the time you read this we'll have had some sunshine and warmth and it couldn't come any too soon to suit most of us. For the folks who have been to Hawaii lately, I can't tell you how jealous I am to see all those great sunny, blue sky pictures and hear about all those wonderful days on the beach. It's got to be my turn pretty soon! SPECIAL...

The Wahkiakum School Board met last Wednesday and reviewed the latest version of a Drug Testing Policy, which allows testing of students suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at school. Superintendent Bob Garrett prepared a new version of the policy with input from school attorney Dan Bigelow that stresses the optional nature of the test. A student who declines the test is assumed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and is subject to the penalties described in the Student Handbook. Those who take the urine test...
To The Eagle: Doesn't it seem ironic that the US government insisted that General Motors declare bankruptcy because their balance sheet was $25 billion in the red? The government's some $14 trillion in the red is the equivalent of every state in the union having just a tad more than 11 General Motors sized bankruptcies. Let's not be alarmed though; I recently noticed a syndicated columnist who insisted that the federal government is not in bad shape at all financially and nowhere near bankruptcy. Apparently, as long as there is a taxpayer...

STILL WET--When Spring officially started last Sunday, we had some sunshine grace our area for part of the day, but Spring showers showed up again and as our work week begins, it's rained all day long out here in West Valley. In spite of the warmer temperatures, it feels just as cold to me due to the wind and dampness. I'm hearing a lot of rumblings from folks saying they are headed to warmer parts of the country. Did someone say it was 80 degrees in Hawaii first thing in the morning? Ah, that sounds quite inviting! SPECIAL DAYS--Those...

He suggested the council delay action until its April meeting so it could hear comments from state auditors who have been examining the town's books since last November. Wehrfritz suggested there could be several problems with the grant, including these concerns: --There is no...
To The Eagle: It is well known that many homes and properties in Wahkiakum and other counties in the state are very much over-assessed. Many homes as much as 30 percent over market value.

The market is continuing to fall from 1 to 1.5 percent per month and the home and property owners are being billed for values from four to six...
