Local jewelry designer Joan Wren and her family members will be featured October 27-November 18 in a Tsuga Gallery show in Cathlamet. According to information from family member Debbie Thoma, the matriarch of the family and key to the family's artistic heritage was Helma Rohloff, an energetic, effervescent woman who grew up on a farm in Iowa. She milked cows, owned a beauty shop and operated a restaurant in Arizona before retiring and taking up oil painting. She took lessons from a local...

To The Eagle: Bill Coons, in playing the “pass the buck card” in his reply to my letter, speaks untold volumes about his desperation. That’s right, he did say he wasn’t old enough for social security. Let’s just cut to the chase. 1. His wife owns the property 2. He lives on the property 3. He is the experienced county assessor 4. The “mokki” in question was constructed while he resided on the property on Welcome Slough. Now, one of the following occurred: 1. He knew about the construction and with all his experience chose not to inform the pers...
To The Eagle: What has happened to access for health care? As a surgeon privileged to take care of many wonderful people from Cathlamet and our beautiful Southwest Washington region during the past 40 years, it is sad to see now how hard it is for people to get healthcare. There is always blame for local hospital administration, but this is a national problem. Bizarre decisions are made primarily because those running health care locally must try to figure out what “system” is being developed in Washington DC. I have been suspicious of politici...
To The Eagle: I urge Wahkiakum County to re-elect Blair Brady as District 3 county commissioner. As commissioner, Blair will continue to dedicate himself to working with issues that will benefit Wahkiakum County. Blair has served on the Legislative Steering Committee for eight years and has built connections necessary to pass the upcoming timber bill that is so vital to our county. Please, vote for Blair Brady as he is the only District 3 candidate who can get this done. Thank you, Dan L. Cothren Wahkiakum County Commissione...
To The Eagle: I wrote a letter to each of our legislators in our state of Washington, including President Trump even though our president has nothing to do with this. I just received my renewal for licensing: $30 License fee funds road construction and maintenance projects. $25 Vehicle weight fee funds highway improvements, transit and other transportation needs. $3 Filing fee funds go directly to the county in which the fee is paid. $5 Service fee retained by subagent or funds ferry replacement if renewed at county auditor/DOL. $.25 License...
To The Eagle: Matt Kuhl is the right choice to serve as the next Wahkiakum County Auditor. I have had the privilege of getting to know Matt through his membership in the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Cathlamet. For a man so young, Matt has already chosen to dedicate much of his life to public service. He joined the United States Army at 20 years of age and served two tours of combat duty in Iraq before he was 25. As Matt told me, he believed it was his duty to volunteer to serve in Iraq because if he didn’t, somebody else would have t...
To The Eagle: Mark Howie had the leadership skills needed, even back in 2006 according to the Tukwila yearly report to the mayor. In a statement from the report, Sergeant Mark Howie and three others worked together to provide a peak level of supervision to the patrol staff. This team of leadership met on a regular basis, developing and providing to its staff consistent goals and objectives, with an end result of improving public safety within the City of Tukwila. Nothing has changed and that is why I’m encouraging you to join me in voting M...
To The Eagle: We, the people of the 3rd congressional district, have the opportunity to choose a leader that will fight for us, not for special interests. That leader is Carolyn Long! She will fight for us on all fronts. For example: 1. She will work to assure medical coverage for all including keeping everyone with pre-conditions safe. 2. She will work to keep Social Security and Medicare safe. 3. She will work to improve education and educational opportunities for all. Unlike her opponent, Carolyn has visited every corner of our district....
To The Eagle: My wife and I are relatively new to Cathlamet having moved here about five years ago but we certainly like this little town. During the past year, we have gotten to know Mark Howie and are very impressed with the way he conducts himself. There have been a large number of endorsements for Sheriff Howie in The Eagle which has also impressed us. We believe that Mark has a good feel for what is needed in this county and what we can afford. We are going to vote for the man wearing the big cowboy hat. Dan and Nona Preble...
The Toledo Indians overwhelmed the Wahkiakum Mules for a 24-6 Central League football victory last Friday. "I'm proud of the way the boys played," Mule Coach Eric Hansen said of his team. "Injuries hampered us. We had eight sophomores and three seniors out there." After a scoreless first quarter, Toledo took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter with an 18-yard touchdown run. The Mules closed the gap in the third quarter with Evan Quigley scoring on an eight-yard pass from Lucas Brown. [Editor's...
The Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association last week named Wahkiakum Mule Lucas Brown as one of its athletes of the week. Brown was 8 of 11 passing for 138 yards and had two touchdowns in the Mules’ 42-6 victory over Toutle Lake. He also included 160 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, and six tackles on defense....
The Wahkiakum Mules volleyball team split games on the road this week. Last Thursday, the Lady Mules traveled to Toledo and won in three sets, 25-21, 25-13, and 25-19. Coach Kayli Hurley’s standouts were Destiny McGowan with “awesome serving and defense,” Charlie Ashe for a “strong all around game,” and Solana Stanley with “stellar serve receive and defense.” On Tuesday, the team traveled to Kalama and lost in four sets, 25-22, 12-25, 18-25, and 21-25. “Aside from set two, we played some dec...
Wahkiakum Port 1 Commissioner’s held their October meeting last Thursday. The commissioners discussed the preliminary rates and budget for 2019, which is currently set at $966,018. Bathrooms at the marina are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Recent vandalism has the commissioners wondering if it should remain that way. “I think we have the only public toilet in town,” Commissioner Bob Kizziar noted. Commissioner Scott Anderson suggested locking the bathrooms up after hours and setti...
