The Napavine Tigers played an almost perfect football game to defeat the Wahkiakum Mules 23-12 last Friday in a Central League game. The Tigers built a 20-6 halftime lead and did what they needed to do to survive a determined Mule rally in the second half. The Tigers received the second half kickoff and boosted the score to 23-6 with a 21 yard goal at 5:55. The Mules then got their offense going. Wyatt Parker scored on a 32 yard run with 51 seconds left in the third quarter to cut the Tiger lead to 23-12. The Mules recovered an onside kick but...

NICE--It's been a pretty decent weekend as we had a drying trend show up that helped brighten everyone's spirits, I bet. I think it also brought out everybody's lawn mowers one more time and hopefully the last. While the day time temperatures were nice, it was in the mid-30s here Saturday night, definitely on the nippy side. While we may be lulled into thinking we've got time to prepare for the winter ahead, I'm thinking we better get with the program as we are into the third week of October, and heading into the fourth. Where is the time going...

Voters residing in the confines of Port District No. 2 have Wahkiakum County's only local contested election on the November ballot. Lori Scott is challenging Carlton Appelo for Appelo's seat on the port commission. Appelo was one of the three original commissioners from when the port district was formed in 1966. He has held the position since. "I've been doing this for so many years that I have the background on every issue, so I wanted to stay with it," he told The Eagle this week. "My brain function is fine. With my experience and community...
Commissioners of Port District No. 2 took care of house keeping measures and discussed a variety of issues when they met October 18. The commissioner passed resolutions formally adopting the 2012 budget and increasing tax the 1 percent allowed by law without voter approval.

With the first round of the 2012 budgeting process coming soon, Wahkiakum County got the good and bad news from the State Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday. The good news is that the county will receive almost $600,000 more this year from the sale of timber from county trust timber land. The bad news is that, as Treasurer Paula Holloway said, "That money is gone." It will be used to fill a hole created by reductions in the state criminal justice funding. Trust timber revenue was budgeted at $1.2 million for 2011, and the county will...
The Cathlamet Town Council gave approval to its proposed budgets for 2012 at its monthly meeting last Monday. The council's finance committee will fine tune the budget for final action at a future meeting. The council also voted 4-1 to uphold a contract with a propane supplier. Councilmember Wally Wright suggested that the contract was invalid because it hadn't been put out to bid or approved by the council, and because Mayor George Wehrfritz had signed it, he should be responsible for the expense. Clerk-Treasurer Tina Schubert responded that...
To The Eagle: Recently, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to represent cancer patients and survivors in the Third Congressional District and delivered their messages of hope for a future without cancer.

Thanks to continued breakthroughs in cancer research, millions of people with cancer have reached milestones that they may not have thought possible...
To The Eagle: I tried for two days to contact Pat Reese to tell her how much I enjoyed her response letter to The Eagle and how surprised I was that a nonresident of the town of Cathlamet felt that the town government was more important than the emergency medical services and fire department. Unless, of course, I misread her letter and/or she misread mine. Ms. Reese did raise an interesting point about the "county seat." Did she know that Cathlamet was the territorial (1870s) and state (1889) "county seat" of Wahkiakum County before it...
To The Eagle: Calculating the unsuitability of solar panels and wind generators for use in public utility grid power involved Boolean algebra and Aristotelian logic and runs something like this: solar panels don't work when the sun don't shine and wind generators don't gen when the wind don't blow and selling power from such a shaky setup is real risky--kinda like handing your teenager the car keys and a six pack. Billionaire T. Boone Pickens invested a few million in wind before he figured this out, but he managed to sell out. The Obama...
