Investment companies have whittled away the land hunters can use in Wahkiakum and Pacific counties. Access to tens of thousands of acres of locally treasured, longtime hunting grounds is now blocked because a new generation of private landowners won't offer access. The landowners are often investment companies, not based in the region or even the country. Not only is hunting off limits on their lands, they also often block access to adjacent properties that are state-owned — and therefore should be public — or adjacent privately owned property...

Sweet potatoes from Lower Columbia River gardens? Here are some of one of our gardeners’ techniques. I read a news item this week from Dr. Carol Miles, a WSU vegetable research scientist. She does research on new potential crops for the western Washington region and got her start in Cowlitz Extension some years ago. She has recently been working with sweet potatoes and is convinced that, in the right locations and the warming from climate change, they can be grown commercially. In Columbia County, quite a few gardeners have experimented with s...

To The Eagle, I encourage everyone to research the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, read the book “Chaos” by Tom O’Neill, watch the documentary “Out of Shadows” (https://www.intothelight.movie), and break free from the heard mentality. Anyone who continues to support fluoridation of public drinking water have likely not done their own independent research and are relying on official narratives from the CDC and FDA — the same agencies that told you the COVID vaccine was “safe and effective.” In 2025, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert...
To The Eagle, As a dental hygienist, I was taught how beneficial fluoride is to prevent dental decay, but my curiosity led me to discover some horrible facts about fluoride. I’ll list only two for brevity. One is that during the formation of the fetus - through the first years of life - fluoride actually lowers the IQ of that child. And if the mother has hypothyroidism while pregnant, the IQ is lowered even more. Further studies have also shown fluoride also damages the central nervous system, causes permanent changes in behavior, like ADHA, a...
To The Eagle, Prior to 1970, women’s history was not discussed or part of the school curriculum. The first school district to celebrate Women’s History Week was in Sonoma, Calif. This sparked others to celebrate women’s accomplishments in their own communities. Jimmy Carter was the first President to initiate National Women’s History Week, March 2 through March 8, 1980. In Carter’s address, he encouraged schools to give focus to the many accomplishments of women. “From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American In...
