From the dark center of the Eagle newsroom, greetings. I'm Gary Catt, executive editor of Eagle Newspapers. I've come to this calling after a career that's swerved through a half-dozen daily newspapers and an ad agency that was once the world's largest. Along the way I've written or edited most everything and an I've guided successful strategies around times of difficulty for Fortune 50 companies. My job here is to make sure that when you pick up your Eagle community newspaper it's a like a walk down main street, spotting faces you know; discovering news you need to know.

We hear so much about the value of tourists and the cash they bring with them, but no one talks about the filth and flotsam the unthinking leave behind.
Like along the road in front of my house.
A roadside inspection in the 1.1 miles from our front door to our lakefront revealed that "Sun Chips" have replaced "Lays" as the chip of choice among the litter set...

Politics of Fear and Suspicion


gcatt, Newshole
Topical, non-partisan conversations about this year's presidential election are getting messy. The insinuation has emerged that the danger inherent in this year's choices isn't that one or the other will not be up for the job, but what will happen if Barrack Obama does not win.
The inference is disturbing. If the black candidate does not win, there will be rioting by disappointed blacks who will feel the election was stolen. A win by the white candidate can be expected to re-invigorate the race-baiting industry which will feed the discontent. Doubtless those who have an interest in racial unrest will point to the controversial 2000 Florida presidential results that saw George Bush squeak past Al Gore.
