“It was a smaller craft with a large military helicopter following it,” Hicks said. “It flew over two or three times.”
He said he saw the craft, which he described as a ball of light, fly over his neighborhood toward Vancouver Lake at about 10 p.m. or 10:30 p.m.

Space, funding present obstacles to administrators facing growing student populations
When lunchtime starts at Battle Ground High School, chaos ensues.
Hundreds of students rush the halls on their way to the cafeteria, but few actually eat there. Most park themselves on benches along the school’s sprawling hallways, and many students eat outside or head to their cars to grab a meal off campus.

“There’s no way all those kids could fit in this nice, beautiful cafeteria that we have,” Lynn said. “If you look at Battle Ground High School now, they’re bursting at the seams.”
The school is one of many throughout Clark County’s small cities that has already run out of space as projections show continuous growth in student enrollment over the next several years. The trend has forced district officials to carefully weigh their options: build more schools or expand existing facilities where there’s still room to grow.
