Rain, rain, and please go away so we can finish the roof over our house. I don’t think Mother Nature is listening.

To The Eagle: As a retired public safety officer who served a major metropolitan area of California where liquor was available at all but four hours of the morning, 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., and had to respond to the consequences of that open market, I'm concerned that too many Washington voters have overlooked the most tragic potential of privatizing liquor sales in our state, initiative measure 1100 and 1105. I agree with the current sheriffs in Wahkiakum and Cowlitz counties as well as the current prosecuting attorneys in both counties who oppose...
To The Eagle: On Monday, November 1, supporters of Cathlamet Library will meet with Wahkiakum Board of County Commissioners, at 3 p.m., to request reinstatement of funding for the county’s public library in the form of $3000 for 2011. Wahkiakum County provided financial support for the library for over 15-years, until 2008. Rationale for the request includes the fact that over 60 percent of the library’s card holders do not live in Cathlamet town limits and pay taxes to support the library. Support of $3000 represents less than 10 percent of...

“It was really fun! I think everyone had a great time,” said Shona Heywood of Skamokawa, reviewing 2010’s Wahkiakum Youth Soccer season, which concluded October 16. “The ‘olders’ do really well in showing their skills. The ‘youngers’ were progressing well in understanding the game—sometimes they were all battling it out for the ball!” Divided into two age groups, “little kids” for ages four through first grade, and “big kids” for second through sixth grades, a total of 76 youth from eastern Wahkiakum County came out to learn the game and...
NICE AND NIPPY--We have had some nice Fall days lately, as the sun has been shining since last Friday and it's been great. The nippy evenings caught some of us by surprise, as it was below freezing a couple nights and a thick layer of frost sparkled in the morning sunlight; a reminder that winter is on the way. We need to start thinking about getting ourselves prepared for whatever the next few months brings us. Actually, as I write this, the weather man is saying the rains are on the way, so I hope you've enjoyed these past few days of sunshin...

To The Eagle: It's election time, probably the most important in a long time for many reasons. National security, national debt, and direction of our nation, to name a few. Locally, taxes, land use and public safety. I have little comment on national elections only to say that if the voters have not figured it out then we as a nation are truly in trouble. Locally: 1. In public safety we have two candidates, one of whom is a lifelong public servant with over 20 years of experience. Then we have a candidate who has virtually no experience in law...
To The Eagle: Another important part of the election process passed with Grays River Grange #124 hosting the Candidates Forum for Wahkiakum County candidates. Well attended and thanks goes to Krist Novoselic and Robert Pyle. As possibly expected, our sitting District Court Judge did not appear to talk with constituents. It must be assumed that some candidates, especially running unopposed judges feel that once elected they are entitled to the job. Running unopposed for 20-plus years probably makes a candidate forget they owe honorable service a...

HALF AND HALF--What a difference a day made in our weekend. On Saturday it was pouring down rain all day, a real soaker, but on Sunday, after a brief bit of morning drizzle, it was time to shed the rain gear and kick off the boots to strut around in sleeveless tops while enjoying a BBQ on the patio. A super nice day! It was a pretty pleasant Monday as well, so it was definitely a good way to start off the week. BACK ON--I am happy to report that I now have my computer back up and going. Whew, that was a long time without that source of...
