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...

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...

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...

To The Eagle: Regardless of being Democrat or Republican, representatives in Congress work to bring home the bacon. In this case, it’s $10 million with this thing called a National Heritage Area (NHA) -- a federal program supporting local history, culture and natural beauty. Commissioner Blair Brady has looked at this gift-horse. Even though he “has found no downside” Brady will still vote no -- only because he wants to represent his constituents. But who are these constituents? As far as I can tell, it’s a very vocal group of partisa...
To The Eagle: Just a note to say thanks for the Focus in The Eagle. I was getting so tired of the long drawn out letters on LNG and NHA ,taking over the paper. Then, on Focus I saw Jerry DeBriae's picture and the article of a home-town kid that has really done well. I knew his parents Ray and Marie DeBriae, very nice people and I know if they were living they would be so proud of him. Fred Johnson and his barn added to the hometown feeling, that is what I like about The Eagle, especially now that I am transplanted, I loved Cathlamet. Keep up...
