My heart goes out to Lois Nelson and the loss she has endured due to her home fire. Fire is devastating not only to property but emotionally as well. I hope she was able to save some of her most personal items, as that seems to be what we miss most, in this type of a loss. Brr! Nights are getting down there temperature wise, but the clear skies are gorgeous. I don’t remember so many nights in a row where you could see the stars so bright. The days have been pretty though, almost too warm in the afternoons. We certainly appreciate Mother N...

To The Eagle: The meetings and negotiations involving the Kandoll Road project and it's affect on the properties adjacent to the Kandoll farm, and Kandoll road itself, have been ongoing for a few years now, and final resolution of the issues is nowhere in sight. It seems like a good time to employ the services of knowledgeable negotiators/mediators, and such can be found within the Washington State Environmental Hearings Office (http://www.eho.wa.gov/Default.aspx). The EHO consists of two state boards, which deal specifically with the...
To The Eagle: Please vote for Lori Scott as your next county commissioner. Lori is ready to listen, do her research and make the well thought out decision. I worked for Lori as a real estate agent, for many years, and saw first-hand her professionalism and honesty. After my previous letter, in support of Lori, appeared in this paper, I was talked to by the current commissioner, Blair Brady. Blair was disappointed that I decided to get involved in Lori’s campaign. He said that since I had changed my mind, about ‘getting involved’ then I could...
Karen Wirkkala, principal of Naselle schools, took The Eagle to task over our recent report of a meeting of the board of directors of the Naselle/Grays River Valley School District. "I was very disappointed and shocked to read the misinformation in the Wahkiakum Eagle regarding the September school board meeting in Naselle," she said. "The comments I am alleged to have made are untrue and I believe I need to clarify what I did say as I believe bits and pieces of conversations were taken out of context, put together, and then conclusions drawn...
To The Eagle: The recent meeting on the Kandoll Road project, involving WADFW, ACOE, county commissioners, CLT/DU, and various property owners seemed to involve the wrong people, based on accounts published in The Eagle. It appears as if the meeting was simply another one touting the benefits, to the fish population, of the project, not examining the effects of the project on adjacent property owners. As background, the project was done using what is called the ‘Streamlined Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)’ process. An HPA is required to do...

Beginning their transition to “paperless” board meetings, the Naselle-Grays River Valley School Board Directors used their iPads for the first time to conduct the meeting on September 21. The board discussed implementing a policy to allow bilingual students to earn credit for knowing a second language instead of taking the few foreign language classes that Naselle offers. This would allow kids who understand and speak Spanish fluently (or any other language) to take a test and gain the credit for classes that would repeat material they alr...
