NICE--Once again we had half of a nice weekend, as Saturday saw some sun but there were also rain showers here and there. However, sunshine prevailed all day Sunday.

It felt great to have the windows open and feel some warmth from that sunshine for a change, so we’ll be asking for more of that in the days ahead, please. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating bir...

To The Eagle: The Clean Water Act defines sewage sludge as a pollutant.1979? That is why they put a stop to ocean dumping as it killed whole fisheries and created dead zones. So under federal law if there is even a possibility the disposal site will have an adverse effect on a threatened or endangered species and their critical habitat, directly or indirectly, that diminishes the likelihood of survival and recovery of a listed species, that act, is considered destruction of a critical habitat. We have six listed species in the Grays along side...
To The Eagle: Welcome to the Grays River Valley, where the Washington State Department of Ecology, in their infinite wisdom, has given their blessing for septic sludge to be dumped in fields next to the Grays River where we are trying to protect several listed species from dying.

Watch the elk and deer walk across and graze the field that has j...
