Good or evil? Innocent or devious? Economically beneficial or personally threatening?

Commissioners from four lower Columbia River counties continue to evolve their collaborative effort for a united lobbying front on fishery issues. Members of the boards of commissioners of Wahkiakum, Pacific, Clatsop and Columbia counties met Monday in Cathlamet to go over their efforts.

To The Eagle: You may not be aware but the Elochoman Grange is on the verge of disappearing. For some, the Grange may be a place that brings back memories of social functions, bake sales, dinners and more. For others, there may be sense of mystery; not really knowing what it's all about. For me, the Grange is a big unknown. I have no history with the Grange -- I didn't know much at all until I attended an informational meeting and was given some material to read. But I knew it had something to do with farming, and families, and community. It's...
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to make up my mind on the proposal to form the Columbia-Pacific National Heritage Area and include Wahkiakum County in it. Business organizations throughout the region requested the formation of the NHA as a means of creating an internationally recognized brand for the area that could be used in marketing. The idea came out of the coalition formed in the Lewis and Clark bicentennial. Over the years, The Eagle has had occasional stories about the movement, but they've been few and far between because...

Robinson said one bid was from a local contractor, the other from a builder in Longview. “The bids were from Prestegard Construction in Cathlam...
One doesn’t normally think of taking younger children to the golf course but Mary Remer would like that to change. She, along with husband Mike, own Skyline Golf Course in Cathlamet. “We want golf to be a family event,” said Mary. “The sport is a lot like life in that it has success and failures and it’s a great learning tool for parents to teach their kids about fair play, dedication and hard work.” The Remers moved to Cathlamet six years ago when they bought the nine hole golf course behi...

NorthernStar Natural Gas, LLC, announced Tuesday afternoon it is suspending its attempt to site a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Bradwood, Ore. “The extended delays in the processing of state and federal permits for Bradwood Landing and the difficult investment environment have forced us to suspend development,” NorthernStar President Paul Soanes said in a press release. “In particular, the challenging regulatory environment gives investors pause, especially considering that Bradwood Landing would have such a positive impact on the Nor...
To The Eagle: What is a National Heritage Area? Is it a historical area? Is it a specific zoning area? What does it hope to accomplish and by what means? Who will administer it? What is the time frame to opt out and how? Most of the areas that fall into any of the above are usually administered by someone outside the affected area, that is, a board, (non-elected) who is based in another area with more population. The usual targets for historical and heritage sites are to restrict any development through the permit process. They will try and...
Death by 1,000 cuts was the way one opponent of NorthernStar's proposed Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant described his group's strategy. It seems to have worked, for NorthernStar announced Tuesday afternoon it is suspending the project because of delays in permitting and "the difficult investment environment." Groups such as Wahkiakum Friends of the River and Columbia Riverkeeper opposed the plant every step of the way, saying the environmental and community safety concerns outweighed any economic benefit of the plant. While...

HALF NICE--I think Saturday took a lot of us by surprise, as we'd heard there was just a chance of a shower. Well, beings it rained a good deal of Friday night and almost all of Saturday, it was not a picnic pleaser by any means. It was great to see the sun return on Sunday though. The rains did not seem to slow down the traffic on SR 4, as clam season and fishing season were in full swing. With tides just right the beaches were full and the boats were thick at the Cathlamet marina and elsewhere. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthda...
