To The Eagle: Our editor prizes brevity, which perhaps explains why last week's editorial concerning the Chamber of Commerce/EDC merger was spare in its account of the adventures of the Economic Development Council. In an attempt to rescue the faltering golf course a few years ago, the EDC set up a condominium project complete with golf cart garages which, in theory, would disgorge a crowd of wealthy and eager golfers onto the course on a daily basis. The contractor balked until the town agreed to spring for a sewer system, and the town, pleadi...

NOT TOO BAD--Considering that we've spent the days leading up to Christmas where we were frozen solid, like last year, and like the year before, where we saw umpteen buildings collapse, including our fairground's arena, this year's Christmas weather was a piece of cake! Just some drizzle and clouds and a bit of a breeze now and then but for the most part, it was pretty doggone mild, with temperatures between 48 and 51. Of course, I heard we may get a slight bit of snow by the time this paper goes out but they say it's not supposed to be a lengt...

3 has been a great year! The Wahkiakum County Fair Board members have enjoyed working with the volunteers that show up when we need help on our projects. We appreciate our community faithfully attending our fund raising events and look forward to planning the 2011 Fair! We wish our friends and neighbors a “Happy New Year!” T-building project news: Wednesday afternoon the temperature climbed up to 55 degrees, which means interior paint will actually dry. I gathered up my family Jerry, Bryan and Valle, asked them if they would like to spe...
As the merger of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce and Lower Columbia Economic Development Council (EDC) approaches, one question that becomes clear is, "Who's in; who's out?" Leaders of the two organizations began considering a merger this fall. The EDC is losing much of the funding it receives through state economic development service contracts, and the groups thought their similar missions of promoting business, economic development and community activities could be combined into a streamlined organization able to operate in the new world o...

I was very leery two months ago when I learned the Lower Columbia Economic Development Council and Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce were going to discuss a merger. I worried about whether or not the two groups' missions are compatible enough to form an organization that will be able to handle a variety of economic development projects while still doing the community activities and promotions that the Chamber conducts. Instead, I should have been worried about whether or not local government would continue to support county wide economic developmen...

HERE COMES CHRISTMAS--ready or not! I know many of you were hoping for a white Christmas but truthfully, snow only causes accidents and delays, whether you are driving or flying, and causes moms like me to be more stressed out! I've already had my fill of holidays and snow. Thank you very much! It sounds like we're going to be quite wet around here with a bit of wind thrown in for good measure, so I'm hoping to keep the power on and all our Christmas Eve and Day dinners to be cooked without the help of the barbecue! As long as we don't have...

Officials of Port District No. 1 would like a break in their bills from the Town of Cathlamet for sewer and water service. On Monday, Port Attorney Tim Hanigan asked the town council to reconsider how it defines multi-user residences, and he also told the town officials that a port business tenant, not the port, was responsible for the tenants' sewer and water bill. Town officials discussed the requests, voted to approve one appeal, and decided to look into matters further before acting on other requests. Also on Monday, Jarnail Mann asked for...

When Mayor George Wehrfritz asked council members if they were ready for the final vote on the budget, Council Member David Goodroe replied that he still had a list of unanswered questions. That opened a two-hour discussion that left officials trying to juggle changes and settle...
WET ENOUGH?--Holy cow, did we have some rain last weekend or what? Not to mention before and after the weekend! Then of course, there was the wind, which was howling enough through West Valley to wake me up and it sounded like a freight train was coming through the back of the house--not good! While my field is a lake, my road is above water, at least as I begin to write this, so that's a good thing. It sure beats being trapped at home due to two feet of water over the road, which has happened multiple times before. In Grays River, we saw...

We are sad to hear former Fair Manager Sandi Nelson has passed on. She was our Fair Manager for many years not so long ago. Sandy and her husband John always took time to walk around the fair and look at every animal and still-life exhibit. Each superintendent was thanked for the many hours they volunteered decorating and displaying exhibits. We all looked forward to the Fair entertainment each year. Sandy would get a big name band to come and play on our little stage. The bleachers would be full of people, all ages, sitting together rocking...
