To The Eagle: As a person who has worked in Public Health for the majority of the last 47 years, as a Public Health Nurse and Public Health Administrator, it was a pleasure to read in the paper recently that the Wahkiakum County Health & Human Services had presented a report to the county on health data about our residents. This information in detail is available at www.countyhealthrankings.org and is based on an annual random survey of adults and youth in Washington State. Eighty years ago this report would have looked at things we now take...
To The Eagle: Well, another Bald Eagle completed and unfortunately there are too many to thank personally so I will just say thanks to all who helped and participated. There is so much to do behind the scenes and most have no idea of the time committed to soliciting vendors, getting permits, right down to getting the garbage cans placed. It is overwhelming. That is why I want to mention three people who every year around this time, give every waking moment to make sure this event is enjoyed by all and goes off without a hitch. Lynda Gerlach...

To The Eagle: Recently, we have been treated to many letters to The Eagle focusing on projects that the Lower Columbia Economic Development Council and the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce have worked hard on and supported. We are told by the writers that defeating these efforts is cause for joy. As one of the people who works very hard for our community, I challenge those who work so hard to stop projects to roll up their sleeves and find a way to get involved in helping the community. It is not enough to simply sit at home and say, “I have g...
To The Eagle: The amazing facts and figures in the county health analysis on last week's front page sure did clarify my thinking. I thought that our slightly high incidence of coronary disease and stuff was because half of us are over 60, but now I find out it's because of low intake of spinach and rutabagas. The fact that such produce is not available must also come as a reall shock to the folks who run the wonderful produce department at Cathlamet Market and our world class farmers market on Puget Island. I was also under the misapprehension...

After another week of “kinda summer” it makes you remember why this is the most wonderful place to live. Even though my husband hasn’t yet been able to paint his ‘59 Ford pickup because of the humidity, things are also looking up for that project. I see much activity in the fields and gardens, so that is more good sign. Actually I love the rain but some sun is always welcome. News from Naselle: Activity is ramping up for the Finnish American Folk Festival in Naselle. The three day family friendly event will take place July 23 through July 25...

"As our local community contemplates health care reform, it is important to remind ourselves of the major determinants of...
To The Eagle: I am a Republican, but there are worthy Democrats who keep their promises to the people that placed them in office. I am not in the habit of endorsing Democrats unless they show the following traits: 1. Truthfulness. 2. Honesty. 3. Trustworthy. 4. Who are incorruptible by affluent outside influence. 5. Who truly represent their constituents. For all of the above reasons, I am endorsing Blair Brady for re-election. In these times of little money, I believe that Blair fully understands and has proven his ability to tighten the...

To The Eagle: Two writers, letters to the editor dated July1, 2010, two opposite views. The first letter titled "Fear of change will isolate Wahkiakum County." It discusses "Lack of vision and openness to new ideas." To me and probably to most Wahkiakum County residents this seems like an insult. We must appear to be dumb and stupid for wanting to live in Wahkiakum County. I'm also in disagreement about "What makes a healthy community." Healthy communities are made by people who care for the welfare of the whole county, not just a few...

COOLER--We've started this work week a bit cooler, as we had some cloud cover and some light sprinkles and more are due I hear, but we sure had a great few days last week and a super weekend as well. That was very welcome after such a soggy spell of weather. I think we've not only dried out a bit but we've gotten our spirits perked up as well, as that ole rain was getting mighty depressing. Now I think we are all suffering from aching backs and sore muscles as we try to tackle those overgrown flower beds, lawns, and the weeds in the garden...

"It’s a mess! Everything is confused. It’s Balkanized." These are just a few terms used by residents and those familiar with the controversy to describe the problems at the Columbia Ridge Estates (CRE) in the Town of Cathlamet. The development, just off Columbia Street, is an unfinished housing subdivision started by Hanes/Zoller Joint Enterprises. “The original development was to build a mobile-home park,” said Building and Planning Manager Charles Beyer. He said he was the county’s building inspector at the time. Early in the developme...
Plans are jelling for Cathlamet's summer festivals. The Bald Eagle Festival and Wooden Boat Festival are just over two weeks away, and the Cathlamet Downhill Corral skateboard competition is two months away. Bald Eagle Festival coordinators are trying to add to the entertainment, said Lynda Gerlach, executive director of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce. "Chamber President Jen Hanigan is trying to schedule live music all day (Saturday) on Main Street," Gerlach said. "We'll have the rock climbing wall and inflatable plastic toys for kids." The...
To The Eagle: Recreation and rest or recreation and retirement, what does it mean for Wahkiakum County For years there are those of us whom have argued with the Lower Columbia Economic Development Council (LCEDC) and the Chamber of Commerce who continue to attempt to bring new businesses into Wahkiakum County. In my opinion you can have all the incubators in the world but they will die shortly after being hatched for lack of people using them. The LCEDC is still trying to bring businesses to Wahkiakum County but are not much help to the...
