To The Eagle: I am writing to express my appreciation and admiration of the kids who have been sending their letters to The Eagle. I am impressed with the quality of writing and also the care that the students are showing for their school and this town. The school pride is refreshing. I live on Glen Gate and so I see a lot of kids coming and going during the week even during the day, high school kids walk through because they take so many online classes. Based on this, I haven't really had any confidence in our local school. The kids say that...
To The Eagle: Rural property owners of Wahkiakum, beware the wolf is trying to sneak in our back door. Are we back to the Shorebank of Chicago and the National Park Service? Are backers of that now trying to place the votes they need to put our entire county under the park service by trying to put individuals on our county commission who will back their proposal. If they succeed in this, we, the rural property owners, are in trouble. The park service attempts to change our building code, etc. by waving money at small counties to place zoning...

To The Eagle: The people who call themselves Mule fans do not go to the games, meets, and matches equally they favor one sport over another. The boys basketball team gets bigger crowds than girls basketball even though the games happen right after each other. The cross country and volleyball teams do not get the same big crowd as football. Also the wrestling and track teams do not get crowds the same as football or boys basketball even though track and wrestling are our school's most successful sports in which we have state participants every...

GORGEOUS--Well, as this week began, there was nothing but blue sky all day long with perfect temperatures for working in the yard or just sitting outside and taking it all in. So nice! Of course, if you happened to have been downwind from any big trees, you would have had the unfortunate timing of a pollen bath, as it was coming off the trees in virtual waves. Sort of neat to witness, but if you're allergy prone, it was time to run and hide in the house! Did you see the "super moon" Saturday night? I only saw it briefly as it slipped between a...

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for input on its plan to manage habitat for endangered marbled murrelets, a seabird that flies inland to nest in old, large conifers. Officials from the DNR and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) came to Cathlamet Tuesday to present their work to the public and begin gathering comments that will shape their actions. In 1997, the DNR entered into a habitat conservation plan (HCP) with USFWS over management of the forest lands it manages in order to protect environment and also...
To The Eagle: Many students who attend Wahkiakum High School are getting phones, iPods, money and clothes stolen from them almost every day. These items can equal up to hundreds of dollars in our students personal property. These are things that not only our parents, but we as students, work hard to buy. We should be able to bring things that we earn and work for to school without worrying about them being stolen. Two examples of this happening are: early on in the school year a student had over $100 stolen out of her wallet; just this week...
To The Eagle: As some of you may know, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I only learned this a week ago and it has given me a lot to think about. One question that has been running through my mind for the past few days: Why do we only take one week a year to appreciate teachers? A teacher's job is just as important this week as it was 10 weeks ago. As a student it is easy to see a teacher as someone who is just there to make my life more difficult by forcing me to write essays and calculate complicated equations and I don't take many...
To The Eagle: It's silly to think that at the age of 17 years old, I can't go purchase a beverage at my school without it getting taken away from me or getting punished for it. Believe me, I'd rather spend my dollar somewhere that would take it, but I have to be at school to do my studies. I have more reasons that they should allow me to buy a beverage than reasons they have not to. It's no secret that sleep deprivation is a major problem in the USA, especially with teens in high school. And I know for myself, I have such a big life outside...
SO-SO--Last weekend promised to bring some sunshine to our area but after a brief amount on Saturday morning, the clouds took over and it was rather gloomy all day. However, it was dry, so that was something. Sunday saw some brief sun breaks but by nightfall and Monday morning, it was nothing but rain, so if things clear up by the end of the week, I'm sure everyone will be happy. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from May 3-9 are Rosie Hicks, Maria Snow, Connor Emlen-Petterson, Tami Bosch, Lori Parke, Stephanie Moonen, Stan Thacker,...
