Here's a report from Wahkiakum cross country Coach Marie Riley: It has been a busy time for Wahkiakum cross country. We have attended from Kalama to Lacey, with Wahkiakum in between. We've enjoyed mild weather conditions for all of our meets so far this year and it is a welcome relief. Last year we weren't so fortunate. Kalama is our toughest meet of the season as it has a long grueling uphill, then more climbing as you enter the woods. Middle school is lucky enough to only have to do the loop once, but the high school has to repeat it, and...
STILL HOLDING--Well, as I begin to write this, our good weather is still holding on, although the night times out here in West Valley sure took a nose dive, as last Wednesday morning we woke up to a frozen world; hadn't thought it would get that cold! Since then other areas have felt the chill as well, so while our dry days are still here for now, it looks like cooler and wetter times are coming our way and with the clouds this Tuesday morning, it looks to be coming soon. While we need the rain, I'm hoping we don't get pounded right off the...

To The Eagle: Over the last several weeks, I have been hearing from various clients and friends that "the word on street" is that I no longer live in the area or practice my Attorney at Law business in the area any more. I would like to dispel this rumor and reassure my clients that, as my recurring ad in The Eagle states, I am still very much engaged in my business here and remain committed to serving the Wahkiakum, Cowlitz and Pacific county areas that I have served since opening my private practice in 2004. It is true that my wife and I...
To The Eagle: I’ve worked with many people in both parties who held diverse interests but also held the value that the decisions we make as elected officials are about the people, not the party. This is why, as a democrat, I support republican Attorney General Rob McKenna for Governor. My experience working with Rob is that he puts the people and issues first, over the party and positioning. He understands that the work of the legislature and government is about getting the job done for the benefit of the public. When I was in the l...

To The Eagle: This month welcomed October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. One in four women will be the victim of domestic violence at some point in her lifetime, and on average, three women are killed every day at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. The economic downturn has had a devastating effect on programs working to serve survivors of abuse. While a bad economy does not cause domestic violence, it can make it worse. At the same time, there are fewer options for survivors to escape. According to the 2012...
To The Eagle: Oops, did I slip up--I forgot the dinner at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church on Sunday. I was reminding myself all the time so I would remember but on Sunday it was 1:30 p.m. when I remembered. Do I feel lower than mud. It was to benefit the Wahkiakum Food Bank and I was not there, (and do those ladies know how to cook.) I am so sorry and I apologize from the bottom of my heart, please forgive me. I did not have enough time to get this in last week's paper. Our Saviour's church does much to help the Wahkiakum Food Bank. Jimmie Lou...
