In case you missed them, here are some of the top stories from the week:
A Vancouver man is facing a kidnapping allegation after trying to shove a 16-year-old girl into luggage at a local Target store, according to court records.

Following a heated exchange, the Battle Ground City Council on Monday rejected a proposed “medical freedom” ordinance in a 4-2 vote.
Council members Brian Munson and Shauna Walters voted in favor of the ordinance; Mayor Adrian Cortes, Deputy Mayor Phillip Johnson, and council members Shane Bowman and Cherish DeRochers voted against it.
A Battle Ground man walked free Wednesday from Clark County Superior Court after reaching a conclusion in a turbulent 2015 vehicular homicide case.
Dean Imokawa, 52, pleaded guilty to a simple misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He entered an “in re Barr” plea, meaning he pleaded guilty to the lesser related charge he didn’t commit to avoid the risk of conviction on a greater offense.
A lot has changed for a local indoor vertical farming operation growing microgreens and other edible plants in the old HP building near Fisher’s Landing.
Forward Greens, which switched its name from West Village Farm, is running a much larger operation than it was a few years ago. The rows of stacked trays of plants are closer together, both horizontally and vertically, the energy spent on lighting is relatively less, less water is used per tray, harvesting has been reduced and less plastic is used.
The secret to getting Rahim Abbasi to work on a project is to serve him a great beverage.
Abbasi became part owner of Compass Coffee and went on to design their downtown Vancouver coffee shop after spending hours sipping coffee in their original space on Main Street. Amanda Serrano of Be Well Juice Bar hooked Abbasi with her Be Wellin’ smoothie.
