TDN reported: State test results show most local schools fall short of state average
A few of the highlights :
- Only one local school district — Toledo — matched the state average in math, and most fell well short. For example, 39.4% of Longview students passed, while the math passing rate in Kelso was 35%. The state average was 49%. (See test scores graphic on page A4.)
- Five of the 11 school districts in the TDN circulation area beat the state average in English: Woodland, Toutle Lake, Wahkiakum, Toledo and Naselle.
- Toledo was the only district in the TDN circulation area to score higher than the state average in both subjects.
- Among English test scores, Naselle had the highest passage rate (70.3%) and Winlock had the lowest (45.7%).
- Winlock also had the lowest math passage rate (24.9%) and Toledo had the highest (51%).

PSA: Alberta's Official Crime Watch - September 10
Seen this, wanted to share. Parents please read this.
PSA: Alberta's Official Crime Watch - September 10
Seen this, wanted to share. Parents please read this.
Last night I pulled into my driveway to see a bottle thrown in my front yard. I was going to just throw it away but my daughter stopped me saying she read about bottles like this being used to “cook meth”. We went to the neighbors house who has family in the police. He looked at it and called in a member of one of the task forces used for drugs or explosives. The officer got to the house around 9:30 last night and got rid of the bottle. The officer told me if I see anymore bottles around to call the police right away and they will dispose of them not to do it yourself. Please make sure you are talking to your kids or friends to make sure if they see bottles taped up like this one or with duct tape they stay away from them and tell an adult who should call the police.
This method of methamphetamine production is used to produce small amounts of the drug almost anywhere. It is often referred to as "shake and bake" because agitation is part of the process. This is also why it's so dangerous to pick up - movement may re-initiate the chemical process and cause the bottle to burst and spray every where.
Note: the people who "cook" this way don't always use tape and may use different size bottles. Please just be aware of any bottle wrapped or have funky looking stuff in them. The chemicals inside are caustic and will hurt you. These bottles are discarded by the "cook" to avoid being caught with it and being charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. They don't care where they throw it, as long as it's not where they can be caught with it.
