To The Eagle: I have run some sizable operations in the international oil business and think I understand what it takes to make an organization go.

But there is an intangible that makes organizations go: someone around whom the department will solidify and rally as a constructive element of transformational leadership. I think Marlena Silva exhibits this quality. She supports county employees and their...

DAMP--As this week begins and the weekend ends, we're seeing some dampness out here in West Valley, which was definitely not in the forecast at least not for a couple more days. However, I'm sure all my plants and my poor dry lawn were happy to see the light misty stuff come down and give it a little drink. All of us on springs and wells were happy too, as every little bit helps after a long dry spell. On Monday morning the fog made for some heavy dew, but parts of my driveway were already dry by noon. This little spattering of rain isn't...

"We drove out to the Elochoman and my father and I picked her up and put her inside. I went to get in the passenger seat and my father told me that I had to ride in the back. ‘What am I supposed to do?’ I...
