• McDonald Commentary: Cowlitz Convention Laid Groundwork for Creating Washington
User Name: Jim
This part of the article caught my attention. “The memorial noted that Oregon Territory’s seat of government was 300 miles from the north’s principle settlements, leaving citizens “neglected” and with “no benefit or convenience whatever” from the government.” Even though out seat (an appropriate title) of government is less than 60 miles from most of Lewis County, my personal feeling is that nothing has really changed. I feel neglected and definitely with “NO BENEFIT or CONVENIENCE from our current government. If you don’t believe just take a look at I-5 in Lewis County compared to Pierce, King or Snohomish, with no relief in sight.

Carefully ALWAYS monitor your books!! Your bookkeeper is not going to purposely alert you of their theft! Don’t become complacent because you, “trust them” or they “seemed so nice”. You must protect your hard work! These are entitled dishonest people and you can’t tell by looking. This is a crime that happens too often at every level of “opportunity”.
Lewis County Health Director, Shelter Manager Facing Charges Over Hank the Dog

It is clear that county employees York and Hanson, after being around Hank, observed that he was clearly and inappropriately deemed a “dangerous” animal and set about to attempt to right a wrong so that an innocent animal wasn’t killed.

I’m glad they’re being prosecuted. Euthanasia may be sad, but it isn’t cruel and can be the most humane thing to protect the public as well as dangerous dogs who often end up living in isolation, in a cage or dirty pen, for the rest of their lives. Compassion doesn’t mean forcing every animal to live, being passed from place to place and ending up in a cage until they die alone and insane. People who claim to care about animals need to be rational.
