Clam

something for everyone, from sunset walks on the horizon-stretching beach to organized festivities almost every weekend. Fall and winter months boast the best razor clamming in the Pacific Northwest, if not the entire United States. The annual Razor Clam Festival is a hit with locals and visitors alike. Willapa Bay is one of the best-producing oyster grounds in the world and offers public oystering near Nahcotta. And then there's fishing. The small town of Ilwaco is home to a busy port that's…

The each group consisted of six girls. A judge instructed each group to select a team leader. My group decide to elect me as their leader because I was most clam and collective. My responsibility as a leader was to check to make sure everyone in my group kept in order. If anyone acted like a pre-Madonna, our entire group will be penalized. If any of my group forget to bring essential items or late to the rehearsals…

Last month, the trump administration refused to list the Pacific walrus as an endangered species. The need to place these walruses on the list has become a growing focus for many conservation biologists due to the uncertainties surrounding how climate change could impact walrus populations. The Pacific walrus depends on the currently receding sea ice for breeding, feeding, nursing their young, and avoiding predators. With the current climate change models, its predicted that the sea ice the…

Trip to Hundred Islands In the summer of my third grade, when I was eight years old, I remembered when my parents told me that we were going to take a trip to Hundred Islands National Park in Pangasinan, Philippines. I said “ Are you being serious?” I was shocked, but excited when they told me. I couldn’t sleep that night, I was too hyped and thrilled. I thought it was quite spontaneous of them to decided to go to this trip since they were so occupied with work. The night before, I researched…

1. Discuss what you learned about your own stress/stressors from completing this log. What was your initial overall reaction to the log? Before I completed the log, I thought I was usually emotionally stable and not easily controlled by bad mood in my daily life. But the log tells me that I am affected negatively by some daily hassles at times. I should be more aware of and take steps to deal with them. 2. How is your experience of daily hassles different during weekdays compared to weekends?…

The Thronateeska was OK. The least favorable thing we did was watch a slide show about space. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the ceiling wasn’t the screen. The Planetarium is dome shaped, so we had to lean back in our seats and look up at the ceiling. It wasn’t very fun, but I did learn that Venus is the hottest planet. The scavenger hunt was alright. It wasn’t my most favorite activity, but it wasn’t my least favorite either. I learned that we live in the Cenozoic era. Overall, the…

Dear, PolyMet Company Why have the mine near the boundary waters? I strongly believe that the PolyMet mines are unsafe.The mine will create an unsafe environment to humans and nature, causing pollution and water problems. If we placed the mine near the boundary waters it will lessen the amount of tourists each year. The mine would be located near the BWCA (Boundary Water Canoe Area) which is near Lake Superior. Causing a bigger risk to spill into lake superior which is some of the most…

Sun shining overhead, the sound of waves gently rushing ashore, the slightly salty smell of the ocean, and the feel of my toes in the sand – this was what I had been anxiously awaiting for weeks. Spring break in Florida was an amazing seven days! Since my parents retired and bought a house in Florida, they have been spending their winters soaking up the sun, while the rest of us stay here in Kansas and suffer through the long, cold, dreary season. This year my kids and I were able to visit over…
