NOT TOO BAD--We had a couple of very warm days last week, as it was up in the mid-80s, which isn't too shabby for the end of September, but as of last weekend, it looked like we were back into a little more fall-like weather, with sun one minute and rain the next. We started this work week with lots of fog and temperatures in the 40's, so things are definitely cooling down. This week's forecast isn't looking too bad, so here's to a decent weekend so that all the people holding big events, and those attending them, can enjoy their events...

The new K-8 principal at Wahkiakum School District, Nikki Reese, would rather give up her Social Security number and her mother's maiden name than submit to an interview. Nevertheless, she is articulate and poised, and flew through the experience on Tuesday like she'd been doing it every day for years. Reese, the daughter of a mathematics professor at Lower Columbia College, grew up in Longview and attended Longview schools. She began her undergraduate work at LCC before transferring to Western...
To The Eagle: After reading the recent article in The Eagle about questioning the need for health care, I feel I need to share my thoughts. First of all, I have never met a person that never needed any health care provided to them. Everyone eventually needs it – whether preventative or reactive. We all know that without it, a sick person risks wiping out their family’s financial well being. As a nurse friend of mine that works at a hospital recently said, “Even with health care, most people are never more than one bad health issue away from...
To The Eagle: In response to the Mayor’s recent advocacy for roundabouts on Highway 4, I would like to bring to your readers attention some practical matters affecting our community that these structures would affect. If two roundabouts are built, one at the intersection of Main St., Greenwood Rd., and Hwy 4 and the second roundabout at the intersection of Columbia St., Boege Rd., and Hwy 4, many adjoining properties and infrastructures owned and/or operated by the following interests would be impacted: Fire Dist. 4; State of Washington; C...
To The Eagle: A big heartfelt thank you to all the athletes and fans that stood for our National Anthem this week. Now to those that took a knee, you missed an opportunity to stand and show your respect for your fellow Americans of all colors, shapes and sizes. I, as just one of so many that served our country, remember some of the finest people I served with were Black, White, Hispanic, Asian and Gay. Now ain’t that America? My greatest concern for our country is that our young people, those that are our future, will not study the history o...
