I get it now.” Cindy and her husband Brian were supportive when their middle child Joel, now 21, decided to join the United States Marine Corps straight out of high school. “It’s something that he always wanted to do,” his...

To The Eagle: My name is Carol Wegdahl and I have worked the last 33 years at Columbia View Care Center and I sometimes feel that I am an expert on aging. During the past month I have been helping the residents deal with another loss in the aging process as they are being forced, due to the closure of Columbia View, to find a new place to live within 60 days. When these people first moved to Columbia View, they were already experiencing several losses starting with a change in their health which would require caregivers to assist with things...
