To The Eagle: Are you middle class? Every time I hear a talking head use the phrase “middle class,” I seethe. The implications are obvious and offensive in the extreme. For a middle class to exist, there has to be an upper class and a lower class. Point me out a lower class American. Show me a countryman that is locked in that strata. Our nation was crafted as a Republic, under the rule of Law, which affords the rights and protections of the Law equally to all citizens. To be locked into a “class” is the first bond of slavery. I refuse to be d...

To The Eagle: In the December 9, 2010 issue of The Eagle, Mr. Gordon had a letter with several questions for the Cathlamet Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services staff. Question 1 concerned being insulted by a referenced document from 1932. Why should anyone be insulted by the age of a document? Our U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 and serves us well today with no one worried about its age. The remaining questions refer to individuals in the Fire Department that he feels wronged him on a civil matter. His letter...

NIPPY--We've had some dry days with sunshine and some wet ones with windy conditions, but they all seemed very cold to me, rain or shine. Brr, it must be about winter time all right! They say more rain is due this week but they said that last week and some days weren't bad at all, so we can hope they aren't right this week! Unfortunately, most computer models show a lot of rain coming in, so keep your eyes on the creeks and streams and report any flooding immediately. I guess that means we should all be stocked up on gas, batteries for flashlig...

The Fairgrounds is ready for winter weather. Everything has been done to protect our Fair properties from the freezing temperatures that destroyed our pipes last year. There is a really distinct climate difference between Skamokawa and Cathlamet. Last week Skamokawa had temperatures in the teens and three inches of snow. I drove to Cathlamet and there wasn’t any snow or ice on the roads. Heading home, up the Skamokawa Valleys I drove back into a snow blizzard again! Neil Beerbower and Jerry Ledtke finally got all the T-building windows t...
April 10, 1979. "That's a date I can remember," Wahkiakum County Sheriff Dan Bardsley said this week. "That's when I was hired on full-time as a deputy sheriff." At the end of this month, after nearly 31 years as a law enforcement officer, Bardsley's career will come to an end. He didn't run for re-election, and his last term of office is expiring. Bardsley realized early in life that he wanted to be a law enforcement officer. "I got into some trouble when I was a kid, hanging around with some older kids, and we took some things," he recalls.

To The Eagle: State governments, local governments, plain old citizens and most assuredly our Federal government are all having a tough time financially. Financiers, bankers and economists created a world wide financial crises that blew up in their faces. They were busy worshipping at "The Market is God" altar. But we know that they were not true believers because no only did they create the "products," bonds, and derivatives that created the crisis, they also created "financial instruments" whereby they would also make big bucks if the whole...
