To The Eagle: When I last checked, there were 565 souls living in Cathlamet, so these are my questions about the Queen Sally park design, (The Eagle, 6/10/10). Will the amphitheater reliably drain this existing aquifer sideways, or will water pool at its base and flow directly under the building? (I've had practical experience with this from my own faulty design.) Are any hydrodynamic or soil studies contemplated? Where is there to be parking for all that ADA access? Can the Town (County?) pay a new full time employee for maintenance:...

I like soccer enough that every four years I try to watch the World Cup games on TV. This international tournament is going on right now. I probably should have entered the lottery they hold for tickets, won, of course, and headed off to South Africa to watch the matches in person. It probably would have been cheaper than how I spent my summer vacation. I came down with a severe case of the chills early in the morning June 9. During the day, my left leg ached. I took aspirin and didn't go to work that Wednesday morning, when we put the paper to...
The Mass Casualty exercise last Thursday went off like clock work. Sponsored by Southwest Washington’s Region 6, Homeland Security Coordinating Council, the multi-county exercise included Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania and Wahkiakum counties. The exercise was designed to test the emergency response capabilities of each county. Public Information Officer Jerusha Kasch said as part of the exercise there was a shooting scenario. “The exercise was the example of a man who went looking for his wife in a m...
To The Eagle: Many who spoke against the proposed National Heritage Area recently evoked the county’s pioneer origins and tradition of self-sufficiency. Indeed, our area developed largely without outside help for much of its history (notwithstanding SR4 and the Puget Island Bridge, two seminal infrastructure projects built with federal money). Yet the image of Wahkiakum as a can-do frontier outpost is decades out of date. Consider two income profiles: back in 1969, according to U.S. Department of Commerce data, earned income made up 79 p...
To The Eagle: The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board recently begged Congress to keep politics out of regulating our nation's money supply. Well, friends, that sort of advice is exactly what we don't need. Congress is contemplating some further regulation of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. These efforts are misguided because Congress does not recognize the real cause of the financial disaster that has overtaken us. Our $14 trillion national debt and associated annual interest charges of $400 billion are a direct result of Congress...

Wahkiakum County commissioners decided this week they would hold two public forums to gather input on a proposal to include Wahkiakum County in the proposed Columbia-Pacific National Heritage Area (NHA). Commissioners have already scheduled a forum for 6:30 p.m. June 17 in the Wendt Elementary School Multi-purpose Room, and they decided Tuesday to hold another in western Wahkiakum County. Commissioner Blair Brady, whose district includes the Westend, had previously said he saw no need for a forum in the Westend because residents of that area...
To The Eagle: A recent announcement by a county commissioner said that he would vote against the NHA as per the wishes of a vast majority of his constituents. This announcement quickly drew a cheap shot (in my opinion) from his political party chairman. Many of us feel we would like a representative form of government, representing the people who put them there, regardless of party pressure, which I feel Commissioner Brady was practicing, just as he promised during his campaign. Mike Mouliot Cathlamet...
To The Eagle: I know this is a crazy time in politics not only in Washington DC, but also here in little Wahkiakum County. I am very disappointed in one of our county commissioner's comments in the May 27 issue of The Eagle. Commissioner Blair Brady said at a meeting three weeks ago that he was going to study the National Heritage Area issue before he makes a decision. Then he said that he had "concluded the NHA wouldn't have the adverse impact that the opponents predict." Then he said, "residents of my district are overwhelmingly opposed to...
SOGGY--Well, most of this past Memorial weekend was pretty damp I'm afraid. There were a few hours on a couple of days where it was not raining and not too terribly cold, but if you were out camping, you would probably not think this was the most terrific weather for doing so. I know walking around through wet grass or mud puddles is not that much fun, and neither is loading up those wet tents and things when the weekend is over, so hopefully you stayed late enough that you got to dry things out when that sunshine finally showed up about 3 p.m....
Wahkiakum County law enforcement officers and emergency response personnel handled a variety of reports during the past week, including: May 24--11:26 a.m. A caller reported a truck was driving up the creek in Middle Valley. 12:45 p.m. A caller reported illegal drug activity. 4 p.m. Thomas Middle School staff reported a middle school student had sent a nude photo to another student. May 25--10:27 a.m. The Cathlamet ambulance responded to aid a teen age male with a cut finger. 2:20 p.m. A caller reported that his son's vehicle was taken without...
The Long Beach police and civilians who helped save Washington State Patrol trooper Scott Johnson after he was shot in the line of duty were honored at a ceremony last Wednesday. In February, Trooper Johnson, a Naselle resident, was on duty at the scene of a suspected DUI call in Long Beach when a man walked up and shot him in the back of the head, police said. Johnson survived and attended the event honoring those who helped save his life and apprehended the suspected shooter. Led by State...
What’s got into those Redman Hall volunteers? They’ve been re-energized. The downstairs portion of the Hall has been reorganized to give the merchandise a pleasant and inviting look. “Heck! Even I’m buying something today,” said volunteer Bernadette Goodroe as she placed her check in Redman Hall’s cash box. Goodroe had just purchased one of the Hall’s new “Smoke on The Water” tees. The shirt, designed by area artist Don Nisbett, depicts a sophisticated salmon smoking a cigar swimming up strea...

The event is sponsored by Southwest Washington’s Region 4 Homeland Security Coordinating Council which includes Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania and Wahkiakum counties and is designed to test the emergency response capabilities of each county. The emergency management office of Cowlitz County said as the “Big MAC” (Multi-Agency Coordination) plan unfolds, the test...
