Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, volunteers and alumni come together to celebrate the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. The theme for this year's National 4-H Week, Opportunity4All, is a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension's 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million kids across America. Wahkiakum County 4-H will observe National 4-H...
Voters are being asked to continue to support Wahkiakum County’s Emergency Medical Services by voting yes for Wahkiakum County Proposition No. 1, a levy of $0.40 or less per $1,000 of assessed valuation for each of the next six consecutive years. The last levy is about to expire and a yes vote means there would continue to be a fund for emergency medical care or services throughout the county, to pay for supplies and allow Cathlamet and Grays River to purchase new ambulances periodically in o...
Submitted by Ron Wright How well could we talk to each other during an emergency if all of the cell phone towers were down, land-lines were broken, no internet, and no power? That was the question the Wahkiakum County Amateur Radio Club set out to answer last Saturday October 3. In that scenario, we would expect most people would go to one of our county's seven fire halls or to one of the other gathering locations (Johnson Park or Wahkiakum High School), or to a high ground location in the...

To The Eagle: I recently read a great opinion piece written by a lady who said that “The next presidential debate should be moderated by a mother of pre-school children, if one can be found who actually has the spare time to do so.” Such mothers are experts at squelching the mischief making of five-year-olds and their endless rounds of “he started it!” and “he touched me” and “he said it first”, “did not!-did so!” President Trump’s dog apparently ate his homework prior to the so called “debate.” I’d say he earned a solid ‘F’ for his comp...
To The Eagle: Perennial candidate Carolyn Long is running sleazy ads about campaign contributions, but she's no stranger to questionable financial influence herself: her family’s retirement plans include up to $150,000 with pharmaceutical giants Merck, Sanofi-Aventis and Pfizer. Until 2019, her family income came from pharmaceutical sales. If her situation’s changed, we wouldn’t know; Long’s failed to report her finances this year. Her legally required report is a month overdue. So when Sanofi raises insulin costs by 700 percent, just remembe...
To The Eagle: We need a president who can be respected by the world. Our current president’s own view of his position as President of the United States is a barrier to his ever becoming more than that. By overtly using his role to alienate our long-term allies, play up to dictators, pardon friends and damage opponents, he has revealed his true character. It is common knowledge that he openly and knowingly lies whenever it suits him. This self-serving behavior automatically disqualifies him from ever becoming a world leader. Once proven a...
