President Trump patted himself on the back for “ending the war on American energy” and “ending the war on beautiful clean coal” in West Virginia and Pennsylvania during his first State of the Union address this week.
It may be tough to swallow, especially if you grew up in an area like Camas-Washougal, where 20th century paper and woolen mills once dominated the local economy, but America is now firmly in her post-industrial era.

In 1979, four visionary fire chiefs came together to ensure the public safety needs for our community for generations to come. Deloy Little of Camas, Darrell Alder of Washougal, Bob Holland of Clark County Fire District 1 and Clyde Webberley of Clark County Fire District 9 signed a document that established what became known as the “Three Parties Agreement.” This agreement provided for the funding of a paramedic transport service in the East Clark County area. The money was to be used for hiring personnel, buying equipment and providing for the ongoing emergency medical training needs of the involved departments.

Ever since Trump nabbed the keys to the White House, many of us have been feeling like this country is locked in an unending, maddening version of the children’s game, “Mother, May I?” where we take two tiny steps forward only to have the administration scream, “Take five HUGE jumps back.”
Happy New Year, dear readers. We hope you had a safe and merry holiday season. Are you ready for the first Cheers & Jeers of 2018?
