FUND RAISER FOR BO WAGES. In case you haven't heard by now, one of our locals, Bo Wages, has been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma inside his left kidney and had to have surgery in the middle of last month. The good news is that the surgery was a success, but the healing up and recovering has been another matter. He's been unable to work, so the bills are adding up.

To The Eagle, As Sheriff of this County, I stay away from publicly commenting on Town of Cathlamet politics as much as possible, but on certain occasions and in the name of truth and correcting misconceptions, I must speak. I believe the attack on the current mayor with censorship on his "behaviour" (a Canadian spelling of the word), is misleading at best, and bullying at worst. I have witnessed or have been present on several occasions where the rude, disrespectful, aggressive, and hostile behavior from a councilman was almost too much to...
This weekend's Hook the Hawg salmon derby was sponsored by the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce and the Elochoman Slough Marina. It was a great time for all who attended. Trailers filled the parking lot at the marina as anglers tried their best to hook the biggest salmon. The final winners gathered at River Mile 38 Brewing Company. All participants who landed a fish had their names put into a raffle. Prizes ranged from sweatshirts, tee shirts and hats from the marina to equipment rentals from...

April is National Poetry Month. If you have been thinking about crafting your thoughts into a poem, now is the time. Last Saturday, Robert Michael Pyle led a workshop titled, “Writing from Nature” at a Writers Guild event held in Astoria’s old Alderbrook neighborhood. The daylong workshop was a rare opportunity to learn about writing with precision based on careful observation from one of the northwest’s most revered poets and authors. Two Wahkiakum County poets attended, Ruby Hansen Murray...

I reckon at this point it’s officially Spring. Or least it would appear so based on the lilacs, Italian plums, peaches, apricots, daffodils, and on and on in bloom here at the house. The jetty sparrows – y’all know them simply as song sparrows – have started nesting, the ‘little’ geese (the Cackling geese, Aleutians, and Lesser Canadas) have, with a handful of exceptions, gone home to The Great White North, and I expect to see yellow balls of fluff, i.e. Canada goose goslings, on local farm pond...
Tensions between Cathlamet leaders bubbled up again last week as a majority of town councilors expressed frustration with Mayor David Olson through a signed “censure” letter. The letter, written by Councilor Robert Stowe and provided to the mayor at the March 18 council meeting, does not carry legal weight or entail direct consequences for the mayor. But it does spell out dissatisfaction with Olson’s actions and behavior. The letter followed several months of marked tension between Olson and several councilors. The letter accuses Olson of cr...
This Document is an official Censure of the Mayor of Cathlamet, David Olson, by the Town Council of Cathlamet due to his continuing and expanding interference in Council work/duties/meetings. These actions include but are not limited too: Initiating denigrating letters/emails/conversations with others including the PUD, MRC and Chamber of Commerce regarding council-member roles, duties and responsibilities; orally casting aspersions on Council Members during public meetings and aggressively interrupting/barking disagreement with statements...
TO THE EAGLE: I am saddened by a recent censure resolution offered by Councilmember Robert Stowe without prior notice and supported by two other Council members. Regardless of the split vote, as Mayor I promise to do my level best to regain the trust of the entire Council so we can resume working together on behalf of the Town we love. I will start immediately by re-introducing a resolution to obtain outside help to restore good working relationships. As to the censure, I invite anyone to attend a Town Council meeting to see with your own eyes...
MIXED BAG. We had a bit of everything this past week so if you didn't like the weather, you just had to wait a bit and it would change. We had downpours and wind, and we had some impressive lightning with some deafening thunder, followed by some sun breaks and sprinkles and clouds and well, it seemed like the weather gods couldn't decide what to do, so they threw a little of everything our way...ha! Fingers crossed we can have April arrive along with the sun and stick around awhile. SPECIAL DAYS. Those celebrating birthdays this coming week...

NICE WEEKEND Well, I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the sunny days. I have to say as I begin this column, it is foggy and I swear those ships tooting their foghorns are about ready to come into my back yard. The sun should be showing up soon. It's hard to get all the yard work done when we only get a few days of decent days in a row, not to mention those projects that require more than a day or two to accomplish. Then again, we are just into the first week of Spring, so we shouldn't be too surprised that the clouds are springing a...
