  • Marsyla has right qualities for PUD

    Oct 25, 2012

    To The Eagle: I would like to urge the voters of Wahkiakum County to cast their vote for Lisa Marsyla as Wahkiakum PUD commissioner. Lisa is currently your county commissioner and she has also served as the auditor of the Wahkiakum PUD. In both positions, Lisa has proved to be a leader. She is willing to ask the tough questions and fully understands the economic situation and what it takes to get the job done within our county. Lisa has a commitment to the residents of the PUD to be financially responsible. She has a degree in accounting and ha...

  • Healy's experience a bonus for PUD

    Oct 25, 2012

    To The Eagle: The ratepayers of Wahkiakum County PUD are fortunate to have three excellent commissioners. Each one has their own unique experience that complements the whole board. Gene Healy's background in the utility industry is a definite asset. I have become acquainted with Gene through our mutual attendance at the monthly Pacific Power Council meetings. With Gene's utility background and his experience on the PUD board, I recommend that the ratepayers of Wahkiakum PUD retain Gene Healy as commissioner. Mike Swanson Commissioner Pacific...

  • Economic development should be encouraged

    Oct 25, 2012

    To The Eagle: Just for the record, in the nine years I have lived here and been involved with Chamber and Economic Development Council, there have been inquiries every year by employers seeking manufacturing space. They are looking for 2,000 or more square feet, with concrete floors, power and sewer, and easy access for trucks. I certainly realize that filling the Main Street store fronts is a major objective, but manufacturing is as well. Last week, the Chamber received such an inquiry for 5,000 square feet from someone with a home on Puget...

  • Definition of poetry challenged

    Oct 25, 2012

    To The Eagle: These are sad brutal times when the newspaper has a policy against printing poetry. I read your editorial guidelines with dismay, but wondered, what is poetry really? Modern poetry is defined by both it’s profound irrelevance and it’s focus on vernacular and visual presentation. I think it’s not a stretch to read many of these folksy political diatribes as some of the best poetry ever written, and therefore ineligible for publication. I hope The Eagle considers relaxing its policy on publishing poetry. As is, I find craft...

  • Comic relief; but who gets the last laugh?

    Oct 25, 2012

    To The Eagle: While my letter is intended for Ms. Petralia (Eagle, Oct 18, 2012) all residents of Wahkiakum County should have an interest in my candidacy for Superior Court Judge. Any speaker should be happy to provide some comic relief to any program. All I can ask is to be invited back to address the voters and I will work to balance my convictions and keep you in stitches. And I feel honored that Ms. Petralia praises me as a comedian and encouraged me to run for county commissioner (by e-mail and phone, February 23, 2012). While Ms. Petrali...

  • What's Happening at the Fair?

    Becky Ledtke, Wah. County Fair Manager|Oct 25, 2012

    Even as the rains pour down the admission ticket booth continues to be a work in progress each day at the fairgrounds. Ben Vasion and his crew are working each night after school to complete an Eagle Scout project. With the old ticket booth removed, the crew went right to work on the foundation of the new booth. They are using pressure treated beams to support the floor. First they drilled into the concrete and added bolts that connect the concrete to the beams. Next the flooring was screwed down onto the beams. The wall structures were framed...
