What weather is headed our way this week? Check out our local weather coverage.
Here are some of the top stories of the weekend:
Doctors told 24-year-old Alexandrew Harner that the impact from the vehicle that struck him from behind caused his spine to “snap like a log,” family members said.
Harner was skateboarding on Northwest 99th Street in front of Columbia River High School on Tuesday night when he was hit by a Pontiac minivan traveling 30 mph, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
“We make a super fresh product, so it’s the same concept with the doughnut,” Treat Bakery owner Stephanie McNees explained. The doughnuts at Treat are similar to the brioche dough doughnuts filled with flavored pastry cream that are being made in most major cities (including at General Porpoise in Seattle).
McNees humbly said, “We literally make them the way you would make them at home.”
Why: UnPhogettable opened approximately a month ago in the strip mall on the corner of Highway 99 and Northeast 99th Street in the space once occupied by 7-Eleven. It brings another fast-casual, family-friendly restaurant serving traditional Vietnamese dishes to Clark County and is open seven days a week.
What I tried: My dining companion and I chose the beef short ribs to start. We settled on the Bun Xao Chay, the Pho Chin Nam and the grilled pork Banh Mi to complete our meal.
Former Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard is stepping down from the Clark College Board of Trustees.
The announcement comes after several contentious months between the college and its faculty union, the Clark College Association of Higher Education. The college and union are in the midst of collective bargaining over salaries, and Pollard has gained a reputation for colorful outbursts at trustee meetings targeting union members.
“It’s unfortunate,” said Pollard. “Their demands are outrageous.”
The Columbian is once again asking fans to help in the selection of the All-Region softball team.
An online fan vote is available now through Tuesday. Results of the fan vote will be combined with selections made by The Columbian sports staff and area coaches to select the All-Region softball team, which will be announced the week of June 9.
