Submitted by Iris Coover The Cathlamet Woman’s Club was so excited about Earth Day that we had Richard Bigler, our county garbage collector, come talk with us about recycling. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” Recycling is one small thing we can do to make our community a better place to live. Everyone enjoyed Richard’s informative talk about recycling plastics #1 and #2, using the bin windows that are already opened, not putting plastic bags in the bins, taking glass t...
Staff of St. James Family Center/The Charlotte House are asking people to join them and stand up for an end to sexual violence by wearing denim with a purpose on April 24. Charlotte House director Susan Schillios said the move is a symbolic gesture in support of people around the world who are victims of sexual assault. "An Italian court overturned a rape conviction due to the high court not believing that the victim had not consented to sexual contact since, in their opinion, her jeans were so tight the perpetrator could not have gotten them...

Wahkiakum County officials were disappointed Tuesday when county commissioners opened the only bid they received to build a ferry to replace the aging "Wahkiakum." The only bidder, US Fabrication, bid $8.5 million, which was more than double the expected cost. The marine engineering firm which designed the new ferry, Elliott Bay Design Group, estimated the cost at $4,335,000. Public Works Director Pete Ringen will have a recommendation next Tuesday for the board of commissioners. "Clearly this isn't the outcome we hoped for," Ringen commented w...

The Cathlamet Town Council handled a variety of business when they met Monday. Planning Commission member Jim Reed presented a report and recommendation from that board for updates to the town's sign ordinance. The recommendations in the document represent a lot of compromise, he said. "Not one person on this planning commission would have drafted this ordinance," Reed said. "We have different backgrounds . . . This became what we could all accept." The ordinance sets a limit on the size of signs, where they can be located, how much space they...

The one and only adult family home (AFH) in the county has been owned and operated by Puget Island resident Beth Lorenzo for nearly 17 years. An AFH can house as many as six clients, but Lorenzo prefers to keep her number at four to maintain her vision of “family home” in the AFH industry. Reliant on state income and embattled by the rising costs in sustaining a facility, one thing remains the same--Lorenzo’s concerns about being able to continue doing what she does best. “Every year I wonder...

To The Eagle: The following is the exact text of an anonymous letter I received April 13: "We have watched your dog being abused for days! It is cruel to not provide him with shelter out of the wind & rain. HAVE YOU NO COMPASION (sp?) Please at least cover the kennell (sp?) so we don’t have to lose any more sleep due to your gross neglect. Also, your kennel is too small (by legal standards) for that size dog. "If you need help finding him a proper home - give him to the Humane Society where he'll be cared for properly." (no signature) In F...
