Balanced play paved the way for a 40-7 Wahkiakum Mule victory over the host Mossyrock Vikings last Friday in Central League football. The Mules scored three touchdowns by running the ball and three by passing. But the defense set the stage by intercepting two Viking passes and recovering three Viking fumbles. "Our defense played really well," said Mule Coach Eric Hansen. "Mossyrock's turnovers really hurt them." A Viking fumble on a punt attempt deep in their own territory set up the Mules' first touchdown. Lars Blix took the ball in on a one...

NOT NICE--As this week began, the skies opened up and poured rain upon us! It was something else on Sunday afternoon as we haven't seen it rain that hard in awhile now. From the sounds of it, we're going to be in a wet pattern all week long, so I guess it's time to concede that summer really is over and we'd better prepare ourselves for some stretches of nasty weather. There was a glimmer of hope on the last weather report I saw, as a dry patch is scheduled for Saturday; let's hope we get it. This is the time to prepare ourselves for the...

The Rogenator and the Gourd Stormer drew people of all ages to the Fourth Columbia River Country Days Harvest Festival at Two Islands Farm Market last Friday. Adults and children milled around on a perfect autumn afternoon, listening to music, shopping for fresh corn and visiting. Rob Stockhouse found water balloon launchers on the internet and found them perfect for pumpkin “chunkin." “Water balloons tend to explode,” he said. Stockhouse, who grew a 600-pound pumpkin last year, said “I didn’t grow any this year. This was a terrible year for...

Dr. David Steves, 35, is working at the Cowlitz Family Health Center clinic in Cathlamet. Steves said he treats all ages, loves his work and wants to help people. “When I was interviewed, they asked me what do you see yourself doing in five years. I said, I want to be seeing clients.

He received a scholarship from the National Health Service Corps which req...
It will be back to court for Wahkiakum County and the Washington Department of Ecology in their suit over the county's biosolids ordinance. Last Friday, a Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge rejected Ecology's motion for a summary judgement and said he wanted more facts before making a decision. The county adopted this year an ordinance that allowed application of only Class A biosolids in the county; Class B and septage biosolids, which aren't treated as highly as Class A, were prohibited. Ecology sued, claiming that state law gives the depart...
It's back to the drawing board for Columbia Land Trust and plans for a new slough on the Kandoll Farm below Rosburg. With Wahkiakum County commissioners and the Grays River Habitat Enhancement District, the land trust has been working on plans to address erosion of privately owned dikes on Seal Slough and the flooding problems that have plagued Kandoll Road landowners since the land trust embarked on a salmon habitat restoration project on the former Kandoll family farm at the end of the road. This past summer, the group and consulting...

Commissioners also passed a resolution taking over responsibility for appointing a manager for the county fair and handled a variety of other business.

Dearmore and Undersheriff Mark Howie have been working t...
To The Eagle: Through this letter, I want to thank and recognize the work of The Charlotte House. Thanks for the opportunity of being admitted to the program and to those directly responsible, I want to congratulate the result and thank the efforts and dedication invested in me, in my process. As a consequence, I am on the verge of getting my permanent residence in the United States of America.

To The Eagle: I have blissfully sat by and been an armchair critic too long. As a tax-paying voting citizen of our community, I cannot be indifferent to either the mayor or the volunteer firemen's criticism. One must know that the mayor is essentially a full-time volunteer position receiving a paltry salary of $250 a month to supervise about seven full-time employees. As a volunteer, I believe the requirements are to serve your community or organization to the best of your ability with no expectation of compensation. One may learn more about...
To The Eagle: Every year in September the staff of The Charlotte House prepares for October and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). We begin by looking at slogans of years past and brainstorm new ones all in an effort to draw attention to our hope of ending violence against women. It seems like when we want to grab people’s attention, we try to come up with the one phrase or image that will draw people in and spark them on to action. There have been many compelling anti-domestic violence messages over the years – slogans like, “Love...

I am now the proud owner of (or maybe owned by) two new kittens. They both come from feral heritage, and were raised and nurtured by a dear friend. Alwen and Isabel are gray and white, long haired with stubby tails and are the most loving kittens I’ve ever seen. As I sit here typing, Alwen is asleep on my right shoulder and Isabel is in my lap curled in a ball. They have only been here in their new home for about two hours, and already have settled in. News from Naselle: Keep up the good work, Naselle Comets. Congratulations on the win last F...
