WET--It's hard to believe that we're at the end of another month and well into Spring, but we are still experiencing plenty of rain. We got a bit of a break on the first day of this work week but as Tuesday morning rolled around, it was pouring once again. The forecast was not looking too great, so we can only hope that a batch of wind shows up and blows these rain clouds elsewhere, as this soggy and nippy weather is sure getting old! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from May 27-June 2 are Don Anderson, 67'er Linda Toste, Mary Ann...

Is it ever going to be spring? It has been so cold; I’m surprised any gardens are growing. Some folks haven’t even planted yet. Hopefully it will warm up soon. News from Naselle: It’s hard to believe another school year is about to end. The kids that are graduating this year are the class that I volunteered in when we first moved here. This class has come a long way and we should be very proud of them. No matter what they choose to do, I wish them well, and much success. On that note, I have received a graduation invitation from one of those...

We are now open Friday to Sunday 1-4 p.m. One of the changes you will notice as you walk in the front door is the host area.

Another change is that there will be different...
Wahkiakum County Commissioners Blair Brady, Dan Cothren and Lisa worked on issues ranging from a capital projects plan to computer programming licensing fees when they met Tuesday. The board met with county department heads to continue discussions on how to prioritize capital improvement projects that can be funded through the Capital Projects Fund. The fund gets revenue from a tax on real estate transactions; the funds can only be spent on public infrastructure projects. After an hour of discussion, the group agreed to have to prioritizing...
The Wahkiakum County board of commissioners will schedule an evening public forum on a proposal to form the Columbia-Pacific National Heritage Area (NHA). Proponents say the designation would bring private and federal money into the region that would be distributed through a revolving loan program to people wanting to maintain and preserve industry and business unique to the heritage of the area. The proposal has drawn opposition from citizens afraid it will lead to tight governmental control over land use. Commissioners took public comment on...
Beginning next Tuesday, (June 1), Help Warehouse staff will resume food distribution to Wahkiakum County.

The distribution was suspended in October of 2009, when the Helping Hand Food Bank moved from the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Cathlamet. The food bank had been operating under...
It's how those English eyes see the world that makes Rachel Wolford the artist she is. Wolford’s new art exhibit is now installed at Redman Hall. The exhibit includes 40 paintings Rachel painted during the past year to reflect her thoughts about life on the Columbia River. “I had this idea in my mind,” said Rachel. “I wanted to see if I could capture a vanishing way of life. She speaks a little regretfully about life in Wahkiakum County and laments the fact that the times – they are a-changing....
To The Eagle: Like us, many of the property owners in Wahkiakum County have invested their entire lives into their property. It is their savings, retirement, future and more. If this makes us a "special interest group" then yes, we are a special interest group that is not interested in risking our investment to more government oversight. The equivalent for the stock investors would be being told what to buy, for how much and when to sell to whom and for how much. The stock investor would then become a special interest group like the property...

MIXED BAG--Last weekend was nice and even as the work week begins, the sun is shining after some night time showers. However, it's pretty wet out there this Tuesday morning, and it looks like rain is going to fall most of the week. I guess we'll have to be busy as beavers while the sun is shining and hope the following weekend is nice, but it only looks like Sunday will be. Temperatures are supposed to drop mid-week and the snow levels are dropping to 3,000 feet so I guess we can't put away those warm jackets just yet. SPECIAL DAYS--Those...

One of the best surprises last week was when Julie Johnston showed up at the fairgrounds with the Elochoman Valley Partners! They came with their weed eaters and gardening tools, and were ready to work. They worked their equipment around the many buildings and then headed out to wor...
