Daniel E. Rosua Lopéz, 17, is an exchange student and a junior at Wahkiakum High School for the 2018-2019 year. Lopéz was born in Caracas, Venezuela, but thanks to dual nationality, was able to move to Spain nearly four years ago, not long after Nicolás Maduro became president of Venezuela. "It's pretty much a curfew at home most of the day," Lopéz said of living in Venezuela. "It's school/home, school/home. Even if you wanted to go to your friend's house a block away, you had to get your par...
Vo Dai, 16, is an exchange student and a junior at Wahkiakum High School this year. Call him Dai. Dai is from Ho Chi Minh City, once known as Saigon, the biggest city in Vietnam. "We only have two seasons," Dai said. "Hot season and hotter season. Our country has a tropical climate. It's hot all the time. When it rains, it's hot too. After the rain, the sun makes the water in the street smoky. It's so uncomfortable." Suffice it to say, Dai has been a little cold in the last few weeks as the...
With their clerk/treasurer out of commission, the Cathlamet town council is having to regroup and start anew in preparation of the town's 2019 budgets. Clerk/treasurer Kerrie McNally became ill in mid-October and a took a trip to a hospital for several medical problems, from which she is recovering at home. In the meantime, the town's budget preparation process came to a halt. The council normally meets with department heads and town staff to go over budget requests and anticipated revenues to prepare proposed budgets. That didn't happen with...
To The Eagle: Thank you, Wahkiakum County! Thanks to my parents, Lief and Mattie Enge, along with Dr. Fritz who got me started in 1930 on this trip called life. Yesterday (Nov. 13) was birthday number 88, and things have gone very well. Also, thanks need to include a lot of other people and things, including two places called Puget Island and Skamokawa where all of my extended family got their starts. I am sure that all of them have now found a better and higher place to live. If that is possible, then Wahkiakum County is in second place. I als...
To The Eagle: Apparently, every vote does count! In the Kentucky state House race Democrat Jim Glenn defeated Republican DJ Johnson by 1 vote. Democrat Jeff Greer lost to Republican Nancy Tate by six votes and Republican Jill York lost to Democrat Kathy Hinkle by 5 votes. All of these House race results were upheld after recounts failed to reveal any irregularities. By the way, welcome, Anna Zimmerman, to electoral politics and to our public forum. You should immediately join the debate team at whichever university accepts you and hone your...
To The Eagle: Last week I suggested a high tax on ownership of assault weapons. Today I do not think that this is a very practical idea. With 11,000,000 of these weapons already out there it would be really hard to collect such a tax. Eric Skemp Cathlamet...

SOME MOISTURE--A couple of days last week saw some raindrops around here and some cool temperatures but considering we weren't in the midst of "Nor-easter" like many states back East, nor the dry, firey conditions of California, I'd say we were doing alright! We have had quite a bit of fog though, so it's good to remember that while headlights might not make you see any better, it will certainly make it easier for others to see you, so here's hoping you'll flip them on every time you turn the key in your car/truck! TURKEY DAY--If you are...
