I don’t know about you, but I certainly enjoyed that beautiful day of sunshine on Monday. My dogs were in heaven as we walked for about two hours in the woods and of course had to stop a few times so they could take a dip in all three creeks. Mice are easier to catch after the water goes down in the flooded fields, so they enjoyed quite a few snacks as well. Hopefully we will see more of that kind of weather soon. Even though I love the rain, I’m not so partial to the five inches of silt that gets deposited on my driveway, or the mess it mak...

According to Mike Crouse, this story has been told a hundred times. There is a siren song on the river. Crouse heard it when he was a child in Skamokawa. In a home separated from the Columbia River by a white-tailed deer refuge, he knew when the commercial fishermen went out, because he could hear the music of their boats, even from that distance. These days he can name the gillnetters from the distinct rhythm and melody of their motors. What he hears is a call. "I gotta get out there," he...
To the Eagle: It was fine to see the front page of the Ground Hog's Day edition dominated by literary matters. Diana Zimmerman did a fine job reporting on poetry and libraries in the county, as she does on so many stories. We are very fortunate to have her on your staff. As to the poetry, I was frustrated to read the announcement of the state's new poet laureate, Tod Marshall, reading in Cathlamet only on the very day of the event the previous week, and then to read in Diana's report that the audience was small. I might have missed it in an...

Snow, snow and a little more snow. It was beautiful to look at, but treacherous to drive in for many. Lots of trees and big branches down which also caused some distraction for a few. I would like to say a huge thank you to our county crews for all their hard work and for probably losing a bit of sleep in order to keep things running smooth. I know I won’t drive in it if I don’t have to, but many folks have to get to work, and without your crews keeping the roads clear, that would not be possible. Thank you.

By Diana Zimmerman Naselle basketball teams are headed to postseason play in the 1B division. The Comettes took first place in the Coastal 1B league. They finished the regular season 12-0 in league, and 15-5 overall. They are currently ranked 23rd in the WIAA RPI. Their first place league finish bought them a bye for the first round of district play. They face the winner of the Mary M. Knight/Columbia Adventist game on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. in Castle Rock. The boys took second place in the...
“We worked so hard. We felt so proud that we were able to do this community center. I thought of it as a legacy. They are just dismantling all the work we did instead of focusing on other things that needed to be done.” —Penny Gregory, former Johnson Park board member By Diana Zimmerman A rift at Johnson Park may eventually be a double blessing to the Westend community. There may soon be two free libraries, both largely possible because of Trudy Fredrickson. When Fredrickson and the new Johns...

Pacific County commissioners visited Wahkiakum County commissioners last Thursday to talk about an alternative route for homeowners affected by slides on the Upper Naselle Road. "This is about money to a degree, but it's also about someone getting killed," Pacific County Commissioner Lisa Ayers said. "That's the biggest priority here. We could probably fix what's there, but there is no guarantee. Are we going to pour $4 million into the area and then just go down the road every two or three...

COLD ENOUGH?--By the time you read this, we are supposed to have warmed up a little bit; I sure hope so! With puddles staying frozen and the snow that fell turning into hard crunchy ice, and temps in the teens at night here in West Valley, I am more than ready for a warm up! Depending on what weather channel you watch, we can either have rain this week, or possibly more snow, which did show up on Monday, much to some's surprise! My app says more on Thursday but it's early yet, so I hope it changes! With multiple Christmas parties going on this...
