HALF NICE--I think Saturday took a lot of us by surprise, as we'd heard there was just a chance of a shower. Well, beings it rained a good deal of Friday night and almost all of Saturday, it was not a picnic pleaser by any means. It was great to see the sun return on Sunday though. The rains did not seem to slow down the traffic on SR 4, as clam season and fishing season were in full swing. With tides just right the beaches were full and the boats were thick at the Cathlamet marina and elsewhere. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthda...

Washington State University Extension in Wahkiakum County is proud to have 30 adult 4-H...
Are you starting to feel like the cold rainy weather is leaving? When that feeling takes hold, we all start to wander outside more, and start thinking maybe it’s time for a little physical exercise. It’s always more fun if you have a goal in mind. How about competing in the Great White Tail Run? If you start walking and slow jogging now, by the time May 15 gets here, you will be ready to join the many locals and out of county people who enjoy the Great White Tail Run. I will share more details about this 4-H event in my future columns. We hav...
Artist Mitzi Christensen isn’t a Northwest native. Moving to Cathlamet in 2001 from Hawaii, she said she was drawn to the area after a friend recommended she and her husband explore the area. Mitzi grew up in a small town in Northern California and has lived in Monterey, Santa Barbara and Oxnard, California before finally moving to Hawaii, where she and her husband lived for 20 years. Mitzi may be a transplant but her art proves she has the soul of a Wahkiakumite. Her art is all about water, b...

The theme of the 2010 festival is “My Mummu and Me.” To make the entries even more inclusive, grandmothers may submit their own stories; also folks may submit stories of women epitomize the characteristics of a grandmother. Organizers suggest participants recall that special moment that reveals connections between the generations and the wisdom of everyday life, and they welcome bot...

If constituents have their way, Wahkiakum County commissioners will draft a letter opposing the formation of a national heritage area around the mouth of the Columbia River.

To The Eagle: There's quite a few letters written to The Eagle about the Port District which brings to my attention regarding property tax. I thought property tax was to pay for schools, police, fire departments and roads; so why are we paying tax to the Port District? They seem to be self sustaining enough to take care of its own, especially the marina. Toni Below Cathlamet...
To The Eagle: Re: Ron Ackermann’s letter published 15 April 2010. It is obvious that Mr. Ackermann is unfamiliar with our local Representative, lame duck Democrat Brian Baird. I suggest he Google “brownshirt Pelosi Reid Baird” before drafting another letter to the Eagle. Regarding Tea Party members calling themselves ‘teabaggers’, I further suggest that Tea Party members do not ridicule and denigrate themselves with such vile sexual slang. If they would, they would probably consider themselves ‘teabaggees’ being ‘teabagged’ by Democrat polit...
