Brett Chaput stepped up to the free throw line Friday night with the team down a point and only seconds to go and very calmly sank both shots to send the Mules off with a 57-56 victory over the visiting Toutle Lake Ducks. Despite an extremely slow start offensively, the defense kept the team in the game long enough for the offense to awaken and score 40 second-half points. John Chambers led the team with 16 points and 4 assists while Lars Blix added 13 points and six boards. Chaput just missed a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds wh...

DRYING OUT--Wow, was that a wild weekend or what? Just when you thought the rain would slow down, it started back up and boy, oh boy, it did not take long for the "lakes" to appear and spill over onto our roadways, which caused some of the usual road closures in our area. However, the big thing comes when the water starts to scour out from under the roadways as you never know when you go through the standing water, whether the pavement has any support under it. I'm not sure what the total amount of rain was, but in one 24 hour period, there was...

A wet weather system dumped 4.6 inches of rain in Cathlamet, 5.5 inches at the Town of Cathlamet water plant in the Elochoman Valley between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.

A booming economy in China is providing some good news for Wahkiakum County government: The boom in building across the Pacific Ocean has created a demand for Pacific Northwest timber that has spurred a rise in revenue off state-managed, county trust lands. The revenue from trust timber land provides a large portion of the revenue for the county's Current Expense Fund, which finances most courthouse offices. County commissioners based their 2011 budget on a total of $1.3 million, and timber revenues should be close to that, representatives of...
Commissioners of Port District No. 2 of Wahkiakum County awarded a contract for tree thinning and voted to begin paying water and sewer bills for the port district office when they met Tuesday.

Commission Chair Brian O'Connor said the district's insurance carrier has been pressing for removal of dangerous trees. The district received bids from two local loggers to trim the trees....

The costs of financing to ratepayers could be as low as $5 per month, based on the terms the distric...
Port District 1 hopes to replace a section of the F-dock, but it needs a permit from the US Corps of Engineers for in-stream work. The district board strategized how to get the letter of permission it needs at its regular meeting on January 13. The dock is scheduled to be delivered on February 15th. “If we don’t get permission, it sits in the parking lot ‘til next fall,” said port manager Jackie Lea. The US Corps of Engineers and Washington Fish and Wildlife set the in-water-work window for the port between January 11th and February 28. The...

To The Eagle: The front page article of The Eagle, January 13, 2011 about the Puget Island property assessments and a face to face discussion with our new assessor Bill Coons seems to lead one to conclude that property owners will not be able to contest any new assessments. Not being able to contest assessments will force property owners to pay the inflated tax rate for this coming year and maybe for the next four years. This appears to be a case of taxation without representation. P.J. Fleury Puget Island...

Flooded in again! It wasn’t too bad until Sunday and we couldn’t get any of the vehicles out. The ducks are in heaven though. Our dogs have discovered that if they wade into the water under the trees, they can pick the mice out of the lower branches and have a snack. Of course sometimes you have to share with the other dogs.
