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...
To The Eagle: The Gear Up Grant used by Wahkiakum School District has provided many opportunities to prepare for college. However, the problem with this is that the money is only used for one class. Only one class out of the seven middle/high school classes has an opportunity to visit colleges, get their SATs paid for, or go on educational field trips. To me, this is very unfair. It is great for that one class, but what about the rest of the school? Everyone deserves to have the same opportunities to prepare for college. This year's seventh...
To The Eagle: Favoritism at Wahkiakum school district is ridiculous. I am talking about grades and athletics. At mid-terms, the teachers are supposed to check the grades for failing students, yet some of these students are still able to play. Several students played through the football season with failing grades. This same incident occurred during the basketball season. A student was failing at the end of the quarter and still got to play in the playoffs during the basketball season. Why are we not following our own policy? Now, I have played...
To The Eagle: The Pay To Participate (PTP) plan has helped to keep sports going in our small community, even though it has decreased the amount of students who come out for sports. The fans in our town look forward to coming to Wahkiakum sports and the sad truth of it all is that without the PTP there would not be as many sports available. Due to budget constraints of the school districts, we have had to tighten the extracurricular expenditures and certain sports were on their way to the chopping block. Due in part to the PTP, low turn-out...
To The Eagle: A couple of weeks ago, the high school had its voting to see who would be this year’s “school clowns” for the yearbook. One of the students had the idea to go into the restroom and strike a funny pose. An innocent idea, but after they entered the restroom a male staff member came in after and sent them to the office. Mind you, there were four female students and one male student. The male student told our principal he didn’t know they could get in trouble for doing that, and he just thought it fit the title they had been selected...

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,...

Our loving wife and mother Donna Irene Gatens Klint went to be with our Lord on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at her home in Deep River, as the result of cancer. She was 72 years old. Donna was born November 21, 1939 in Nemah, the daughter of Lucy “Nettie” Slater and James Francis “Frank” Gatens. The doctor had to come by boat out to Twin Point on the Willapa Bay for her delivery. Donna was raised with four brothers and as a child loved rowing out on the Bay against the tide. She attended elementary school in Naselle and graduated from Naselle...
Local children and volunteers gathered at Cathlamet United Church of Christ Monday to celebrate the joy of reading. Sponsored by Reading is Fundamental (RIF) of Cowlitz County, young readers, preschool age through third grade, were welcomed in an event that helped to promote literacy. Children circled around to listen to the classic story of Curious George and then browsed the book tables in hopes of finding the perfect fit. “RIF is an all-volunteer organization,” said board member Mary Thomas who has been involved with RIF for 21 years. “Th...

To The Eagle: My name is Shelby Robinson and I am 13 years old. I currently attend John C. Thomas Middle School in Cathlamet. A few short months ago I was offered a very unique and wonderful opportunity to travel with the People to People Ambassador program which was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. His vision for this program was to promote peace among different cultures, race and religions through individual ordinary citizens. Through this experience, I will: • Discover and enjoy traveling with new friends and gain...
