January’s flood event was the second time in two years the Julia Butler Hansen Wildlife Refuge for the Columbian White Tailed Deer experienced a major flood event and the third since 1996. The high waters hit during the middle of the day, so many of the deer were observed leaving the refuge, said Refuge Manager Joel David. Many of the animals fled across the highway to higher land. In February, refuge personnel surveyed the deer population using an aerial Forward Looking Infrared Camera (FLIR). The camera will pick up anything omitting heat. C...
As 2009 progresses, it seems more and more likely that local officials will ask Wahkiakum County voters if they will pay a tax to support the Wahkiakum Family Practice Clinic. Revenues this year haven't met their targets, and the clinic is looking for funds from local government and other sources to cover payroll and other expenses. Clinic Business Manager Crystal Stanley made her monthly report to the county board of commissioners Tuesday, and Cathlamet Mayor Dick Swart and Council Member Bob Rendler opened discussion with a request for more...
Efforts to determine whether or not an old road in the Grays River Valley meets criteria for a county road right of way are making slow progress, county Prosecuting Attorney Dan Bigelow said Tuesday. Valley resident Bob Larson has asked county officials to reopen an old road called Kessel Road so that people who bought land from him along Barr Road can have access to it. Other Valley residents, however, have said there is no county road right-of-way as Larson claims. In March, the parties spoke to the board of commissioners, and Bigelow said...

Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce President Jennifer Hanigan said this week that last month’s crab feed was a huge success. After advertising fees, the chamber earned an estimated $8900. The total income is up approximately $2200 from last year, she said. Bradwood Landing has given the chamber a $5000 grant to be used for operations. It is a good thing, Hanigan said, “because not a lot of grants go toward operating expenses.” A business fair will take place on Saturday at Norse Hall on Puget Island. The fair is sponsored by the Lower Colum...
