To The Eagle: Four weeks ago, two gentlemen from Longview were arrested after killing a bull elk from the herd of 22 which frequent the Columbia Land Trust land. This land is listed in the Washington hunting guide as a no hunting area. Four weeks of The Eagle have been published since this occurred, and this incident has never been mentioned. I have hunted big game in my home state of Wisconsin and also in Wyoming, Maryland and Pennsylvania. If this incident had taken place in any of those four states, these two men would have had their vehicle...

NIPPY OUT THERE--This past week has been mighty cold with temperatures dropping in the low 20's in West Valley, so while the clear blue skies are welcome and the sun is shining brightly, it's not exactly warm and toasty when you step outside, brrr! The frost has been so thick at times that you could swear it snowed and even after a week of freezing temperatures and dry days, we've still got plenty of moisture in the air to cause us to have thick, heavy frost every morning. Needless to say, it's been a trying time for some of us as we...

NASTY START--As this work week began, it started out wet and windy and it didn't take long for "lakes" to show up where green grass used to be. They say we are supposed to dry up but then comes some cold temperatures, so I hope you've gotten all prepared for the winter weather. Don't forget to make sure your outside pets get extra food and a shelter of some kind to protect them. For all of us on springs and wells, we might have to start letting the water drip in order not to freeze up our houses, so it looks like the "fun" has begun for us...

COOLING OFF--The fireplaces are being stoked and the heaters are getting turned up, as we are definitely feeling some Fall temperatures in the air around here but then, I guess that's to be expected, as it is mid-November after all. While we may be back to some rain as this Tuesday morning arrives, at least we are not dealing with any serious weather conditions such as they've had in the Phillipines where thousands of lives are feared lost and towns were totally obliterated. We offer up our prayers on their behalf as they struggle with the...
