To The Eagle: The article opposing the proposed LNG plant (The Eagle, 12/24/09) is the same old story, only the names have changed. Had this group existed when the Wauna mill was proposed, they would have opposed it. If Crown Z or Weyerhauser applied for logging permits on public lands (or even their own land), they would have opposed it. Most of these groups are made up of fairly new residents that have moved to the area because they love it and are determined to craft it into what they want it to be. I call these people "gotminers." They...
To The Eagle: We have just finished a very busy year and want to give a big thank you to the generous people of our community who so faithfully have supported us. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate you and what a big help you have been to so many in our community. To the churches, clubs and associations, Lions Club, Boy Scouts, the schools--we appreciate the activities and drives that you have put on to raise support for the Food Bank. Also to the many, many individuals who continue to send us donations, have special events on our...
To The Eagle: I’m writing in appreciation of your coverage of the Skamokawa Grange’s Family Movie Night featuring short films by Wahkiakum 4-Hers, and also to make a couple corrections. We’re grateful the Wahkiakum school district allows use of the middle school gym for movie nights and helps to get the word out about our activities; however, the afterschool program is not offered through the school. Funding for the program comes from the Wahkiakum Community Network. The Network’s funding allows us to hire a part-time afterschool coordin...
To The Eagle: President Obama was interviewed for a "60 Minutes" segment that aired on December 13, 2009. The President's comment regarding the recent multimillion dollar bank executives bonuses was "Which I think tells me the people on Wall Street still don't get it. They still don't get it." It appears the people on Wall Street "get it" all too well. They know our country is entirely at their mercy or whim as to our dismal financial situation. And they really don't care if we want them to receive huge bonuses or not. Sad to say it is...
To The Eagle: Seems that a lot of time and articles have been dedicated to river problems and suggested solutions to the same problems with many differing thoughts and "plans." This should be expected since most of the county is part of a river system, second largest in the US. Perhaps the biggest interest is in the huge amounts of money being "handed" out to almost anyone claiming to help our salmon. I was encouraged to once again write to The Eagle after reading the "wonderful" article on how the WDFW is going to once again "solve" a...
To The Eagle: I am writing to clarify aspects of your coverage of the Town Council’s LNG “debate” published in The Eagle’s 12/24 issue. First, my position is that the Town of Cathlamet should monitor the ongoing negotiations between Wahkiakum County and NorthernStar, the Texas-based organization that plans to construct a LNG facility several miles from Cathlamet -- not become a signatory to any agreement they might make. Second, we must stay well-informed because the issues under negotiation could potentially impact our town’s waterfron...
To The Eagle: Thank you for the article regarding Wahkiakum Conservation District’s and our partners activities in the Skamokawa Watershed. Two projects were highlighted including the Historic Skamokawa Creek Channel Restoration project and the Skamokawa Community Watershed project. The projects were presented from a flood perspective yet both more appropriately address other natural resource concerns. The Historic Skamokawa Creek Channel Restoration project includes installation of a freshwater inlet structure (completed), upgrading the o...
