Welcome to the Klickitat Voice

This is America and the people that have moral values and appreciation for what God gave us and a love for this country are getting tired of being niceYou can see that in the institutions that have gone woke (they can call it what they want, but it is liberalism socially accepted without any moral boundaries). Football offended the fans and now they have to play 4 games (maybe more) overseas, trying to get their profits up. Same with Bud Light. Now they are going down like a burnt out rocket and Target is in big financial trouble with no one to blame but themselves. I believe that this is going to continu

Also, the citizen’s cooperation with the IRS, ATF and other government agencies (with their self-imposed and criminal power over the people) is going to start finding a lot of resistance.

This is where Tactical Civics™ comes in.  This organization teaches the only way We The People can enforce the Constitution.

Tactical Civics™ is a full-spectrum solution. We The People have the authority – indeed, the DUTY – and lawful power to begin superintending our republic in order to protect our God given rights, freedom and liberties.

Veterans Day is a time remember the ones we have lost and the ones that are still with us. We owe each of them more than we can repay. We have to ask ourselves did we give them the respect and honor they deserve? Were they rewarded properly?

At times when this country faced the grave responsibilities which required the great men and women to contribute and sacrifice for their country to keep the freedom and liberties that we all enjoy. This is a time to honor and show respect to the great veterans that have served this country the ones that have fallen and the ones that are still living, and thank them for their courage and loyalty to their country.

Let’s not ever let this day lose its meaning. We must fly our Flag proudly, it is marked with the blood of those who died defending it. And to the ones that disrespect our Flag, our history and the sacrifice our veterans have made; you are the hateful, ungrateful and despicable portion of society that is working to divide this country so don’t push your luck with any actions that disrespect Veterans Day because Americans hold the utmost admiration for our veterans and have little use for those that don’t.

Many of our veterans have experienced the tragedy of war and have dark memories of unimaginable conflicts. Those of us that have not had to face circumstances like that because our veterans did and saved us from the terror of war. the quality of life we enjoy we owe to veterans.

So let this day be a time of giving thanks to our veterans and thanking God for giving us such brave men and women that have contributed to making this country the greatest country on earth.

Dr. Ogden has been an essential part of Goldendale and this is a letter recognizing his dedication to the community.

Dr. Ogden has served as an outstanding optometrist in Goldendale for 47 years and is a person who really cares about people. He has helped many who have limited income to make sure they had a pair of glasses. He has showed up to his office on week-ends to help people that have gotten a piece of metal or object in their eye and needed immediate attention. Here are a few examples of Dr. Ogden going the extra mile.

He worked to help many through his jail ministry to give them hope and a purpose to start changing their lives and he always made sure when they got out that they had away to get home.

He would go to under developed countries to do eye exams and provide glasses for people who had poor eye sight and no way of getting vision help.

At Christmas time, he and a few others would go and put on a music program for the elderly. Also during the early dreary months of Covid he would go around on Sunday and play his accordion at peoples homes, outside on the lawn, to cheer them up. He would volunteer to play at funerals or weddings if music was needed.

Every summer he would make sure that the kids that wanted to go to camp would have the opportunity. For the ones that couldn’t afford it, he put on a fundraiser and had the children help. He believed that if the children had a hand in the work it would mean more to them. He would take his old John Deere tractor with a trailer that was made for rides to the Head Start just a week before doing eye exams so the children would know him and not be afraid.

As the story goes one of the announcers from the radio station that was blind had never had the chance to ever drive a car so Dr. Ogden took him out to a field and let him drive one of his classic cars. I’m sure that had to be one of the most memorable moments in his life.

His collection of classic cars is a real joy for people to ride in and he still uses them to provide transportation for things like taking some senior citizens to Trout Lake to see the fall leaves and during Christmas time he would take them to see the displays of lites around town. His cars provided transportation at weddings and also at times he would take people to the airport for their anniversary get aways. He just enjoys doing what he can for others.

A lady that had worked for him for over thirty years was wanting to go on a mission trip to Mongolia. Dr. Ogden put on a turkey dinner he paid for all the food, giving 100% of the proceeds for the trip. She ended up having all the money she needed.

Dr. Ogden has been serving Goldendale in so many ways and there’s so much more that could be said. His contributions to the community are many.

I would like to thank Jenelle Lomsdalen for her contribution to this letter of appreciation.
