To The Eagle: Well how blessed we Trump voters are that we have the genius of letter writers to show us the error of our ways. I read a letter last week and I must say it followed the Democratic party line to the letter but remember your opinions are not facts just your opinions. First of all in my opinion: Abortion is murder and not a women's issue alone until women figure out how to make babies without a man's blessed contribution, so yes men do have a dog in the fight and the right to our opinion about abortion. My second opinion is that Pre...

WEATHER--The end of last week saw heavy downpours between the dry times in West Valley, so that was good. Saturday started foggy and I thought it might be dry all day, but it did pour a couple of times, but again, at least it wasn't a daylong drenching. Monday saw quite a bit more moisture here in West Valley than in other places, as while it was dripping wet here, it was sunny and dry in Longview, so our yards got some extra watering that others didn't seem to get! Drier conditions may show up, but that comes with colder temperatures. SPECIAL...

Story and photo by Diana Zimmerman Asia Taccori, an exchange student at Wahkiakum High School this year, knows two things for sure right now. One, it's cold. Two, life is as good as your attitude.

Taccori is from Sestu, which is on the southern end of Sardinia, in Italy. Taccori got involved in the exchange program because she wanted to trav...
