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...

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...

Our new bleachers were delivered last week to the Fairgrounds. We expected them to arrive on a flat-bed truck so we could use equipment to unload them, but they arrived in an enclosed van-trailer. That changed our unloading plans! We unloaded by hand several tons of aluminum bleacher parts. Looking at their building plans, I am reminded of an erector set that we once bought my son, only this is way bigger! Thankfully, I’ve received some offers of help to get this project built when we get some nice weather. If the sun starts shining we will be...
A proposal for the Town of Cathlamet to cut its sewer connection fee to $100 makes sense to me. The reasoning, say town officials, is lower fees will draw more connections and customers to the system, and that by having more customers of the sewer system, the financial load of operating the system and constructing a new wastewater treatment plant would be lower. The council is considering another proposal that would raise rates from $45 per month for town residents to $80 per month in June, 2014. Rates for out-of-town customers would increase f...

The Wahkiakum PUD water crew is working to lessen and prevent ongoing water losses in both the Western Wahkiakum and Puget Island Water Systems, PUD commissioners heard at Tuesday’s meeting.
