Natural gas customers in Washington will see higher energy bills beginning Nov. 1 due in part to last winter’s colder temperatures coupled with the 2018 gas pipeline explosion in British Columbia. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission recently approved rate adjustments ranging from 4-15 percent for Avista, Cascade Natural Gas, NW Natural, and Puget Sound Energy natural gas customers. Higher customer costs for 2019 reflect wholesale natural gas price increases caused in part by the October 2018 Enbridge Pipeline rupture, w...

The Longview Gingerbread Haus Contest is back for the 8th year, and organizers are hoping for a surge of entries to re-energize the Dec. 7 event. Held downtown every year on the first Saturday of December – the same day as the Longview Christmas Parade, the contest received only four entries in 2018. Organizers attribute that to not enough advance publicity about last year’s contest, and so this year Gingerbread Haus Headquarters is getting the word out early to give bakers ample time to plan, bake and decorate. The contest will be held Sat...
To The Eagle: Last year I wrote to our legislators about why our renewal for car licensing had risen from $30 to $63.75 (this year went up to $68.25). I received a response from Damon Monroe who is the Rule Coordinator for DOL. This is his reply: “We apologize for not getting back to you sooner. We have reviewed the list of fees and concerns noted in the email sent to Governor Inslee and various legislators. We understand your concerns about the fees; however all of these fees are required by state law and can only be changed through l...
To The Eagle: I recently read here, with no great surprise, a stalwart Trump acolyte’s regurgitated sour grapes about the imaginary “crimes and misdemeanors of Obama and Hillary,” as well as all the fake news that isn’t and of course, fake whistleblowers who aren’t. That contributor wrote “this President has done more for our foreign allies than any other.” More fabulist Trumpist propaganda and untrue, as usual. To understand or predict Trump’s foreign policy ask yourself “what would Putin want him to do?” Primarily, undermine NATO, Eur...
To The Eagle: I would like to thank the seven people who came to discuss current situations. Wished someone from the Republican point of view would also have joined. Thank you. Poul Toftemark Rosburg...
The kids at J.A. Wendt enjoyed the annual Harvest Festival run by FFA students last Wednesday. "It was a fantastic experience," Principal Nikki Reese said.

There were three stations at this year's festival: a straw bale obstacle course, seed grinding, and an apple press. Photos courtesy of Nikki...
