Chronicle Facebook followers respond to post of “Big news in tiny Onalaska, Washington: All 43 grads were accepted to college:”

Stephanie Williams: Not only are scholarship notebooks still a thing, they now have to present their high school career and post-high school  plans to a panel of three people, including two staff and a community member. We have some very intelligent, driven students at Ony. So glad it’s being recognized!

Sean Glenn: We needed this positivity! Way to go seniors! And thank you so much teachers! And let’s not forget the parents for bolstering the foundation for these kids!

Teresa Glidden: Congratulations to the seniors AND the teachers and administration at Onalaska. You’re showing the rest of the state how public education is SUPPOSED to be!

Suzanna Torres: That’s is awesome! I wish I would have had someone help me with that when I was younger.

Shalee Sayamnet: This is a great idea! Why wouldn’t more schools offer something like this?

• McCroskey Commentary: Video Exposes Evergreen State College Behavior for What It Is

There’s little to disagree with here, John. I attended TESC when Dan Evans was the college president there and while there was always a strong leftward tilt even then, which I usually agreed with at the time, it was nothing like this. Even though my own political leaning now tends more toward libertarianism, I can still find value today in some of the things I learned there years ago. However, what is (and has been) happening at TESC has caused me to scrub them off my resume. When you view your alma mater as an impediment to future employment rather than an enhancement, there’s a problem.

Evergreen has been this way since day No. 1. It will never change until it’s funding is pulled. Expect accountability? Really?

• Story: Lewis County Commissioners Look to Amend Dangerous Animal Ordinance

Good for the Commissioners for considering amendment of the county’s statutes to devise a fair and humane solution to this particular situation, relieve the county of unwanted liability for adopted animals, and provide better rules for the future. There should always be a way to correct errors, allow for rehabilitation, deal with special circumstances, and appeal disputed findings. Good for them for being willing to consider doing that, and best of luck for a happy ending for Hank and his adoptive family on Monday.
