Have you had a chance to trek through downtown Rosburg lately? If not, there is much activity at the site of the Rosburg Store, which will open again soon with new owners, Norman and Joyce Bolton of Rosburg. Sporting a new coat of light colored paint on the outside (thanks to Marlee Blain), new merchandise, walls and floors all spruced up, and lots of hard work from the whole Bolton Family, the Rosburg Store will once again be the central meeting place for the community. Norm took time to sit down and give me some details on the reopening of...
Wahkiakum County residents on Tuesday urged the county board of commissioners to adopt an ordinance regulating the application of biosolids on land in the county. Commissioners Blair Brady, Dan Cothren and Lisa Marsyla listed to the public input and could act on the ordinance as early as their meeting next Tuesday morning. Commissioners asked Prosecuting Attorney Dan Bigelow to draft an ordinance after citizens reacted to a Long Beach septic hauler who applied for a permit to deposit septage, the lowest of three grades of treated sewage, on...
To The Eagle: I woke up to a rainy Tuesday morning and needed an inside activity for a while. I had read and heard that Wahkiakum County now has real property data "on-line." I tried it for a while. A lot of other folks need try it and provide feedback to the county so the system can mature and become a user friendly resource. This data base is available from the "Wahkiakum County Government Website" with a "click" on "Property Search" in the upper right of the screen. Be prepared for some changes from what you are used to reading on your...
To The Eagle: The rainy season has barely begun, and we are already drowning -- in bureaucracy. All floods, real or allegorical, start with trickles. A friend of ours desires to develop waterfront property in Cathlamet and is told by Fish and Wildlife that he can't let workers make footprints in the sand or in any other way dislodge any sediment. No permit forthcoming until he can find workers who can walk on water. Another acquaintance on Puget Island took a 30 percent loss on the sale of his house while the local tax bureaucrats are actually...

Well, I hope the farmers have their hay in, as it looks like some wet weather is ahead. The rain is quite welcome for gardens being watered by hand. News from Naselle: Today is the first day of the 2010-11 school year. Let’s support them in their efforts, praise them for doing a good job and let them know we still care even if they need a little coaching in certain subjects. Remember that there is no school on Monday, the 6th, in celebration of Labor Day. I had a very nice note from Lois Bighill regarding her brother, Dan Anderson, of Grays R...
BEEN NICE--As this work week began, we got a few clouds and sprinkles but it wasn't too bad, as the sun came out and all signs of wetness soon disappeared. However, this Tuesday morning has things much wetter, but I'm sure my plants are loving it, as the ground was hard as a rock and the dirt was nothing but dust, so a little drink is probably a good thing. Last week, the daytime temperatures were in the mid-70s and they were some of my favorites; great if you had to work outside. THIS WEEKEND--The annual chili cook off at the Elochoman Marina...

The Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday announced it was cancelling the Seventh Annual Buzzards Breath Chili Cook-Off this Saturday at the Elochoman Slough Marina.

WARM--This work week is starting out real nice and there seems to be a promise of some nice days ahead. While these first two days are supposed to be the hottest, it still looks to be in the 70s most of the week, at least as forecasted at the time of this writing; not too hot or too cold. SCHOOL BEGINS-- It's hard to believe that school will be starting soon, September 1, so Fall sports will be in full swing right off the bat and it will be time to watch for school buses and kids on their way to school in the morning and back home in the...
