CALMER, SORT OF--As this work week begins, it is fairly calm outside; no snow or hail or packed ice or anything really terrible like last week, so I am thankful for that. While it looks like the rains are coming back this Monday afternoon with a vengeance, on Sunday it was nice with quite a bit of sunshine coming through. Nothing like sunshine to perk up one's mood! It looks like even more rain is in the forecast however, so by the time you read this, we'll probably be pretty soggy. I hope we don't wind up with any flooding. Keep a watchful...

The Fairgrounds is ready for winter weather. Everything has been done to protect our Fair properties from the freezing temperatures that destroyed our pipes last year. There is a really distinct climate difference between Skamokawa and Cathlamet. Last week Skamokawa had temperatures in the teens and three inches of snow. I drove to Cathlamet and there wasn’t any snow or ice on the roads. Heading home, up the Skamokawa Valleys I drove back into a snow blizzard again! Neil Beerbower and Jerry Ledtke finally got all the T-building windows t...

April 10, 1979. "That's a date I can remember," Wahkiakum County Sheriff Dan Bardsley said this week. "That's when I was hired on full-time as a deputy sheriff." At the end of this month, after nearly 31 years as a law enforcement officer, Bardsley's career will come to an end. He didn't run for re-election, and his last term of office is expiring. Bardsley realized early in life that he wanted to be a law enforcement officer. "I got into some trouble when I was a kid, hanging around with some older kids, and we took some things," he recalls.

Dory Hicks, longtime Wahkiakum county resident and artist, will sign copies of her “Redmen Hall Coloring Book” from 1-3 p.m. December 4, when the new edition of the book makes its debut at the historic hall in Skamokawa.

She, and her late husband, Wes, were charter members of the informal group that became the Friends of Skamokawa, and were inst...
Wahkiakum County commissioners will convene at 9:30 a.m. Monday to open their public hearing on the proposed 2011 county budgets. Under state law, the county starts the budget hearing on the first Monday of December and must conclude it within five days.

The Current Expense Fund, which includes most courthouse services, is set for $4.23 million in 2011, up slightly from $4.09 million in 2010. Commissioners have diverted $200,000 from the County Road...
To The Eagle: State governments, local governments, plain old citizens and most assuredly our Federal government are all having a tough time financially. Financiers, bankers and economists created a world wide financial crises that blew up in their faces. They were busy worshipping at "The Market is God" altar. But we know that they were not true believers because no only did they create the "products," bonds, and derivatives that created the crisis, they also created "financial instruments" whereby they would also make big bucks if the whole...
To The Eagle: I would like to thank The Eagle for getting the word out to the community about last Saturday's kick-off to the holiday season. The general theme was to "shop locally" so almost all the shops extended their hours, showed off their wares, provided tasty munchies, and welcomed Santa to town. The new feature of a "Walk Down Christmas Lane" seemed to really be enjoyed by the young folks, especially and the following people won the drawings: Howies' Coffee Shop Basket - Dallas Gott; Artisan Market Basket - Chrissy Teach; and Riverview...
To The Eagle: Bad news is that Sargasso Sea Antiques was unable to find a wholesaler to provide Christmas trees for our annual benefit sale for St. James Family Center. Good news is that both of our local suppliers (McCoy's Tree Farm and the Cathlamet Market) are really inexpensive so you can get your tree, help your local economy and still afford to send a donation to St. James at 1134 Columbia Street, 98612 and brighten everyone's Christmas.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was wonderful to get away for a few days, see family, eat too much and get some wonderful news as well. We kind of slip-slided our way to Redmond, Ore. for the holiday as the roads were pretty icy, but made it all in one piece. Our oldest granddaughter, Marlee, became engaged on Friday, and shared the news with us after her boyfriend, Scotty, proposed to her while they were hiking on Smith Rock, just outside of Redmond. They haven’t set a date yet but plan to be married in the summer. It looks l...
