To The Eagle: Laura Blain’s October 7 letter relates as fact details of a July 16 “assault” in our jail. The incident is currently under investigation by an independent law enforcement agency. The results have not been made public; therefore, Blain’s statements as to what occurred must be understood as hearsay, not established fact. Mrs. Blain states the public was not promptly advised of the incident. She infers the Sheriff’s office, and Undersheriff Jon Dearmore particularly, were negligent. Mrs. Blain addresses Dearmore’s “platform...
To The Eagle: I have lived in Wahkiakum County for over 50 years and I have found myself in the position that now is the time to speak up. I have known Jon Dearmore for over 14 years and know that he is a very respected man in this community. He is a very family and community oriented person. Jon has been in law enforcement for 20 years and it is his passion. Jon is in law enforcement because he cares about people and justice. Jon serves various boards within the community. To me, this is a man with compassion for the people of this community....
To The Eagle: We're voting for Jon Dearmore for Sheriff because he has the training, experience and management skills to lead the department and serve the citizens of Wahkiakum County. Law enforcement is a serious and often dangerous profession. While a desire to serve the community is a good place to start, the office of Sheriff requires the experience, training and common sense that only comes from working in law enforcement for more than 20 years. The Sheriff leads one of the most important departments in the county and must have the skills...

To The Eagle: One would expect that getting information from a public office would not be difficult or next to impossible. After one month of persistence I have had the official Wahkiakum County sales study used to compute the Puget Island R4 valuations forwarded to me and it wasn’t by the Assessor’s Office. Although the Assessor’s office has “one in the mail” it has not yet arrived. There are errors in this study. Even though the new appraiser is moving swiftly to correct valuations as property owners speak up, there are a lot of people wh...
To The Eagle: Recently, my husband Dick Watts and I spent a week and a half in Cathlamet, finalizing the purchase of our new home. During that period of time, we met dozens of people. Warm, friendly, easy to talk to, and eager to make our acquaintance. In fact, Dick and I marvel to ourselves that we have already made more friends in Cathlamet than we made during 28 years in our current neighborhood in Southern California! Now we'd like to take a moment to publicly thank all of you for welcoming us into your community. All of you, but...

HALF NICE--What a difference a day makes! Last Saturday was really nice after a very foggy beginning and it landed itself as the perfect day to mow that ever growing lawn and enjoy a wonderful evening around a firepit after a tasty barbecue with friends. However by Sunday morning, the area was already saturated with heavy rains and it was a day to stay in and admire the lawn you'd mowed the day before and watch some football. Of course, if you'd spent Saturday washing your car, you were not too happy and you were keeping it off the road and in...

He and his wife, Crystal, bought the barn from Lee Nutter and are moving it to land they own on the far side of Greenwood Cemetery.

To The Eagle: Many people find great joy in volunteering for the greater good of the community and find it very rewarding to lend a helping hand where one is needed. Just yesterday as I was checking my mail at the local post office an elderly woman was struggling as she was exiting with a large box in her hands. It was very refreshing to see that another patron politely asked if she needed help and then, proceeded to help her. I frequently see examples like this everyday in our wonderful community and would like to see more of this as I begin...
