Acting as commissioners for the area's four flood control zone districts (FCZD), commissioners have been trying to collect right-of-entry easements from property owners that give dredging crews permission to work along their shorelines. The US Army Corps of Engineers, which engineers the dredging programs and spoils sites, wants to have entry easements for a...
A group of citizens hopes to pressure the Wahkiakum County board of commissioners to fight state mandates before adopting an update to the county's shoreline management program (SMP). The Wahkiakum Real Property Rights Advisory Board has sent a mailer across the county asking residents to return a portion which tells the board the senders "support their efforts to protect our property rights and say no to the SMP." Shoreline programs are required by state law. The county's was last updated in 1992, and this proposed update has been in the...

To The Eagle: Thank you for printing the letters to The Eagle. Lately we have read the tendentious and tedious letters from our neighbor, Bouchard, who it seems is very upset about the election of DJT, the estimable Donald J. Trump. They illustrate very well the ignorance and arrogance of the aging hippie “Zen-marxist.” First of all, this county and country had an election on November 8, 2016. We selected a president in accordance with our election laws and our constitution. Now the crybabies and weak-minded among us want to somehow go bac...

SUPER NICE--We certainly couldn't complain about the weekend weather, unless you don't like the sunshine and warmth that went with it! Temperatures were in the mid-70's on Saturday, so it wasn't totally miserable, but then they went up and they were in the mid-80's on Sunday. Monday morning the heat hit us early and it was 87 degrees at our house before noon with temperatures still rising! Most people that I talked to were really loving it and only a few, like me, really preferred the mid-70's better. I was just glad the AC was running and I...
