Change doesn't come easy.

To The Eagle: The voters of Wahkiakum County have the opportunity to elect a very well qualified person as your next county commissioner. Lori Scott has contributed to her communities by being a successful business person and a well-regarded school board member. She gave freely of her time and expertise to help taxpayers combat the excess county property tax assessments. She was requested to run for office to bring insight and expertise to an important position. Lori Scott is not a politician! She has never done things just because of...
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...

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...

To The Eagle: Survivors of domestic violence face special challenges this October, as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month rolls around. The continuing recession creates extra hardships for victims who may not have the resources to leave their abusers. A common question we hear is "Do you think we are seeing more domestic violence now because of the economic stress of the nation?" It's important to know that economic stress does not turn someone into an abuser, but it can lead to more frequent and dangerous abuse. Insufficient income...
