REALLY WET--It seems like only yesterday we were talking about how long of a dry spell we'd had and how we could use a little rain to help dampen the forests to keep the guys in the woods working, or to keep the fire danger down and to get our lawns green again and our wells full, but holy cow, has that all changed! We've had gully washers coming down this past weekend and now our once parched fields are lakes again! Of course, we aren't experiencing anything like they are back East and so as hurricane Sandy hits the East coast, we are sending...

To The Eagle: It is hard to make an informed decision on voting when we hear about Oregon candidates and issues and rarely about Washington. I found a great tool on the internet that helped me make informed voting decisions: www.tvw.org/2012-video-voters-guide, or you can go to the Washington State website: www.access.wa.gov and search for video voters pamphlet. Each candidate video taped a presentation. Gerry Brennan Cathlamet...

To The Eagle: Several years ago, our economic development gurus attempted to rescue our ailing golf course by slicing off a chunk of it to build golf-oriented condo units. Seemed impractical and our small course certainly didn't need an amputation, but we curmudgeons being neither golf nor economic development experts, the project proceeded. A contractor agreed to build the golf palaces, but only if we provided the sewer line to hook 'em to. This didn't seem kosher but we weren't ethics experts either, so the project rolled on. A local diggin'...
To The Eagle: We read with heavy hearts the letter by the man who calls himself a New Testament Christian pastor and supports gay marriage. He says he looks to Jesus for instruction on this issue. Why doesn't he ask the Holy Spirit to lead him while he reads the book of instruction the Holy Bible and the truth will be found? The New Testament does address homosexuality and condemns it as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies the homosexual act as an abomination and a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires...
To The Eagle: On Friday, the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation (EMCF) published a request for proposals (RFP) for grant applications to address at-risk youth. These are large grants run through Fidelity Investments.

This may represent a...
To The Eagle: On behalf of the Wahkiakum County Sheriff’s Office and the men and women who volunteer for us, I wish to give a deeply heartfelt thank you to family, friends and community members who have supported us and comforted us in our grief this past week. We know there will still be some difficult times ahead but without your care for the public safety personnel who serve you, we would be in an even bigger world of hurt today. We recognize Jon’s passing is affecting and continues to affect so many in our county and we share your sor...
To The Eagle: No one can build a sound economy using a fraudulent money system. I don't care if you are a Democrat, Republican or any other variety of politician or official trying to do so will not work. The proof is right before your very eyes. The debt will not get smaller, the deficit will not go away, things will not get better. Even if you are the most gifted economist in the world, you will not be able to build a sound economy using unsound money. My message is simply this: it will not matter at all who we elect to any office if we do...
To The Eagle: A major thank you to The Eagle and to the Hanigan Law Office and Wahkiakum Title & Escrow for bringing us a quality weekly crossword and Sudoku puzzle. Now hanging with The Eagle lasts twice as long. Might I add, as a suggestion, do not print the answers to the puzzles on the same page as it makes cheating way too easy! Thanks! Rolly and Ginny Armstrong Cathlamet...
