In case you missed them, here are some of the top stories from the week:

Vancouver police said in a press release that “there is no indication of a criminal act, and the immediate family has been made aware of the circumstances.”
Years of infighting among Clark County Republicans took another turn this week, with concern over an appointment leading to at least one resignation and several other denouncements from party officials.
Dan Clark, a precinct committee officer with the party, was previously convicted after repeatedly sneaking into a teenage girl’s bedroom and giving her alcohol.
BATTLE GROUND — Battle Ground Public Schools didn’t just reject its sexual health education curriculum Monday night. It threw out requirements that it teach sexual health education altogether.
The board voted 3-2 to overhaul its internal sexual health education policy, eliminating requirements that the district teach sex ed unless the state requires it. As it stands, Washington law only requires that school districts teach about HIV and AIDS prevention. If districts do teach sexual health education, it must be comprehensive and compliant with state standards.
After the last vendors collapsed their tents and packed their unsold produce at the Vancouver Farmers Market for the last time this season on Sunday, market workers celebrated a record-setting season.
An estimated 420,000 shoppers attended in 2019, the market’s 30th year, shattering last year’s record by about 65,000, said Jordan Boldt, executive director of the Vancouver Farmers Market.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has used DNA technology to identify the remains of “Fly Creek Jane Doe,” a body discovered near Amboy in 1980, as a girl who went missing from the Portland-Vancouver area years earlier.
Now, deputies are asking for the public’s help on the unsolved case. They’re trying to track down friends, acquaintances, neighbors, coworkers and others who knew the family of Sandra Renee “Sandy” Morden.
