To The Eagle: Where is the public safety war with the mayor going? The only certain outcome of the mayor's attempted power grab is a drastic weakening of the Cathlamet fire and ambulance service. For no real reason other than a power grab by the mayor putting public safety at risk. So far it has benefited Fire District 4, which has received many new applications from volunteers, which is good for the areas served by District 4, but bad for residents of Cathlamet who are served by the Cathlamet volunteer fire department. This raises the...
To The Eagle: The letter to The Eagle by attorney George Hanigan has raised some serious questions about the direction of the conflict between the fire department and the Town of Cathlamet. The first concern is the actual disagreement between the requirements of the state auditors and the fire districts, in which the auditors apparently were not able to get access to all the required records of the fire districts. Conflict between the state auditors and any government or private entity is not a good scenario. Transparency and open accounting...
To The Eagle: We are almost halfway through October and The Charlotte House continues to sponsor activities that will hopefully bring awareness to domestic violence and get people thinking about how they can be a part of the solution to put an end to the violence. On Tuesday, October 4, I met with our county commissioners where they read and signed a Proclamation declaring October 2011 Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This can be viewed elsewhere in this issue of The Eagle. Thank you to our Commissioners for once again showing your support....

We are starting our Fairgrounds winterization projects! A huge thanks to Ed Stevens, Mark Crary, Barbara Clark and Georgie Billings for moving our big freezers, refrigerators, ice machine, ice cream freezer and stoves out of the food booth and onto the entertainment stage. Our new stage built by Contractor Mark Crary can hold the weight of these appliances because Mark used 2” by 10” floor joists to support the floor. We will hope for a dry winter but we are getting prepared for a wet one. The stage will be the new high and dry home for our...
NOT NICE--As this week began, the skies opened up and poured rain upon us! It was something else on Sunday afternoon as we haven't seen it rain that hard in awhile now. From the sounds of it, we're going to be in a wet pattern all week long, so I guess it's time to concede that summer really is over and we'd better prepare ourselves for some stretches of nasty weather. There was a glimmer of hope on the last weather report I saw, as a dry patch is scheduled for Saturday; let's hope we get it. This is the time to prepare ourselves for the...

To The Eagle: Through this letter, I want to thank and recognize the work of The Charlotte House. Thanks for the opportunity of being admitted to the program and to those directly responsible, I want to congratulate the result and thank the efforts and dedication invested in me, in my process. As a consequence, I am on the verge of getting my permanent residence in the United States of America. Likewise, I want to emphasize the team spirit and fellowship observed during my stay in the months that I was living in the institution. I hope I can...
To The Eagle: I have blissfully sat by and been an armchair critic too long. As a tax-paying voting citizen of our community, I cannot be indifferent to either the mayor or the volunteer firemen's criticism. One must know that the mayor is essentially a full-time volunteer position receiving a paltry salary of $250 a month to supervise about seven full-time employees. As a volunteer, I believe the requirements are to serve your community or organization to the best of your ability with no expectation of compensation. One may learn more about...
