To The Eagle: Duck hunters who favor Alternative 1 of the Comprehensive Conservation Plan for Willapa National Refuge have sent letters to several local newspapers. They argue that walk-in hunting access should take precedence over breaching dikes to restore salt water marshes. One "fact" in these letters is that a similar dike-breaching project at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge has resulted in death of waterfowl, so that only seven percent remain. This would be shocking if true--but it is not supported by refuge staff when recently contacted. Bird...

Ebbie Hantke started to manufacture his one-of-a-kind sports car 12 years ago in Kurt Nielsen’s shop on Puget Island. Nielsen died before the car was finished, but his contributions to the car extend beyond the space to work.

Every part has a story. Hantke said, “I’ve made an exotic car out of mundane parts. These are readily available materials.” “The car st...

To The Eagle: It is with a sad and heavy heart that I write this letter. My husband came home with the news today that the "guardian of the mountain" had passed recently. I'm sure most other drivers were at least aware of him because of his sheer size and beauty! I know that we, for one, noticed him and looked for him anytime we headed over KM Mountain. He would lay there in the yard, sometimes closer towards the road where the ground sloped up, so as to have a resting place for his massive head, all the while lazily watching traffic go by. We...
