AUTHOR: Lynda V. Mapes, Seattle Times staff reporter
ABOARD THE MISS ROXANNE - Bright as polished chrome, this monster chinook pulled thrashing from the lower Columbia River fixes its black eye on me as I draw close. Fascinated by its silver sheen, its huge size - it's nearly as long as my leg - and the untold, unimaginable story of its journey to the deep Pacific and back, I trace my index finger along the slippery slope of its nose.
And then it bites me. Hard.
I yelp and yank back my finger, oozing bright drops of blood.
This mighty spring chinook, still watching me, has delivered its primal message: Chinook are the king of all salmon and nobody's pet.

AUTHOR: Lynda V. Mapes, Seattle Times staff reporter
POSSESSION BAY - Languid and liquid as the swells it surfs, the gray whale gives a mighty blow then arcs gracefully in a dive for the bottom.
Its explosive "Pffffooooffffh!" is arresting, and a reminder of our common breath: This is no giant fish from the depths, but a mammal, like us.
The grays' migration off the coast - one of the longest undertaken by any mammal - is one of the rites of spring. The grays make it look easy, knocking off the 4,300-mile, one-way journey in just 54 days, swimming at a walking pace around the clock. And some grays go even farther - swimming as much as 5,000 miles.

AUTHOR: Lewis Kamb, Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter
Plan to cut hatchery threatens peninsula runs, manager says
Tribal authorities fear threatened salmon on the Olympic Peninsula would "spiral toward extinction" under Gov. Gary Locke's plan to close a 2-decade-old state salmon hatchery.
The Hurd Creek Hatchery -- one of three state hatcheries targeted for closure under Locke's proposed budget -- is a vital component of salmon recovery in upper peninsula river systems, said Scott Chitwood, fisheries manager for the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe. Without it, he said, "our ability to continue recovery work is severely hampered." |

SOURCE: Seattle Post-Intelligencer Editorial Board
No matter how many times they get their faces slapped, some Republicans refuse to take no for an answer. Their lust for oil keeps them grabbing at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
It's time to behave.
The public knows the refuge should remain a place where the environment is protected. There is no good reason to destroy this fragile environment for oil.

Dale, my female red-ear slider, (Chrysemys scripta Elegans) had joined my family when she was a baby. Red-earred sliders are a turtle that inhabit wet, humid areas. Red-earred Sliders like to bask, swim and eat. They need full-spectrum lighing or natural sunlight and though somewhat skittish, are always happy to see you come mealtime. |

Once-In-A-Lifetime Horse
Mr. Dillon was in that rare group of "once-in-a-lifetime-horses". I’ve been
truly gifted to have owned this wonderful pony for nearly ten years. He
was proud, with the "look of eagles" in his eyes, courageous, very
competitive.
When he went in the show ring, he exuded confidence, as if
saying "Watch me. I’m special!".

Look deep within your heart, for we are there forever
The boys entered my life as quickly as they left it. But, with that I have gained far more than to never have had then in my life at all. For that, I will forever be grateful to them for sharing their short life with me and giving me the chance to know and love them.
I cannot possibly share with others in this brief space provided as to what my life was like with them, the least I can do is to share with others what they shared and gave to me.

SOURCE: Algonquin Oral Story
In the Old Time, Ableegumooch the rabbit was the forest guide, and helped wayfarers lost in the woods. However, as time went on, the people and animals learned to find their own way in the forest and didn't need the rabbit's services as much.
Ableegumooch grew fat and lazy. If there was something easy and fun to do, he did it. If a thing were difficult or tiring, he did not. But that is no way to keep a wigwam stocked with food.
