The road from Woodstock to Wahkiakum might have traveled faster as the crow flies, but Jerry Ledtke’s journey was grounded by wrong turns and right places. He was called first to the sea, and then to the woods, but always to the music.

When someone tells you your future by reading the tarot cards I wonder are they able to do this by a special gift that most of us don’t have, or are they aided by some unseen fo...
To The Eagle: In regard to the deer being moved from Puget Island, I would like to comment. My wife and I have lived on Puget Island for the past 10 years. I am struck by the way nonresidents of the Island are so quick to volunteer my home for a deer refuge. If these people had a yard and if they had eight or more deer in their yard most every evening, I think they would sing a different tune. The deer damage trees with their antlers, eat the bark, leaves, and blossoms and they eat many plants off at the ground. I know a seven foot fence is...
