MIXED BAG--This week started out a bit damp here in West Valley and some other places, but later on in the day it got real nice. By now, you should have been enjoying a lot more sun, but we also know what that means: stupid people doing stupid things. Heads up people, do not leave your children or your animals in your vehicle! It's amazing that anyone would allow a child to be alone in a rig anyway, but on hot days, it's deadly and totally unforgivable. Animals are best left at home on these warm days. So if you truly love them please keep...

To the Eagle: When my son, now a Wahkiakum High School senior, was in preschool at St. James, a delicate lady named Mrs. Hauge would come to teach the children about classical art. Some might think preschoolers wouldn’t absorb the knowledge she shared, but I watched rapt three-year-olds, and, even months later, heard my son’s accounts of the art postcards she gave each child. Mrs. Hauge was my first -- and these children’s first - - introduction to our local art angels, community members who expose young people to the arts. Much more recently,...
To The Eagle: I have read with interest and concern regarding the topic of change to a few of our local landmarks. I understand the implication of prejudice, and I am in some agreement with that consensus. I also know that names tacked on to what began as neutral names for these areas were not intended to be offensive, unless naming a particular area of a river entry populated by large amounts of hungry birds is considered offensive. I have listened to and participated in a few of the conversations in which the name Jim Crow seems to be a catal...
OFF AND ON--Last weekend wasn't a complete bust, as it seemed Portland got hammered with rain, while we stayed cloudy with only a few spinkles on Saturday. Sunday was pretty wet here in between sun breaks, so I'm glad the lawn got mowed while it was dry, and we could just let nature water the plants. I was expecting some rain for Monday and while some folks had some sprinkles, I was out doing yardwork and getting mighty toasty in the sun, at least during the first part of the day. The forecast looks like it will be another mixed bag of weather...
