Over the past three years, Rose Rendler has been a one-woman bookmobile to residents at Cathlamet’s Columbia View Care Center. Rendler greets residents and gets an update on health concerns.

She’s learned about residents’ taste in books and has found that few want blood and gore. She brings Westerns, romance and mystery. Some like to read about pioneer women, she said. R...

Bonneville Power Administration will raise rates this October and the PUD’s engineering firm expects to award bids in early October for the remaining $2.8 million the project will cost. “The substatio...
Although Sarah Phillips, Wahkiakum High School valedictorian, and salutatorian Brandon Fudge share a deep affection for their classmates, their history with the school is different. Phillips came to Cathlamet and entered the school district as a freshman, while Fudge has been here from the beginning. Each has good things to say about being in a small school in a small community. “You have to work at it. But you can have 150 close friends,” Phillips said. “I can’t imagine a better place to raise kids,” Fudge said. The two agreed that it was im...
Naselle High School valedictorian Taylor Wasmundt and salutatorian Haleigh See are passionate about their prospective careers in health care, their love of sports-- volleyball, basketball, track and softball--and the 22 people in their graduating class, 12 of whom have been together since preschool. “We are really close,” they both say. “We’re not divided into academic nerds, sports and drama groups,” See said. “We all have to work together.” Both students have had a strong desire to excel academically, and both balance that with a desire to b...

Despite some concern, Wahkiakum County commissioners on Tuesday named the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce the county's associate development organization (ADO). The board signed a contract with the state Department of Commerce that will make the Chamber eligible for a variety of state economic development programs to be conducted in the area.

To The Eagle: In the 20 plus years I have spent studying our money system, I have become aware of reforms that need to be implemented to improve conditions for people living here and also those living in other countries. I am presenting a list of them in this forum, but it will be a serial list. First, "The New World Order" is not just a slogan or phrase that is bandied about. High (and low) profile financiers around the world have been planning and making arrangements here and abroad to consolidate their control over governments. Here we will...

Rainy weather and grass growing what seemed like inches each day was the challenge put before the fairgrounds volunteers last week.

There were acres of grass to mow one more time before the Dollars for Scholars event. We needed the ground to dry so we could finish this task and turn the fairgrounds into a beautiful place for the event. Finally the sun was back in our skies and it was very hot on Friday. We...
