Letter: New options needed for McGillivray

December 9, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Neither of these goals serves the resident’s needs and ignores existing resources. Read story

Letter: Kissinger saved many lives

December 9, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Thoughts on the Middle East

December 8, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Recent hostilities between Hamas and Israel continue a decades-old war. Hamas persists in its relentless aerial bombardment of Israel. The raid targeting, assaulting, terrorizing, slaughtering, kidnapping, and ransoming of civilians exposes the depravity of Hamas. Israel fights to survive, but Hamas plots to destroy Israel.

Letter: Sacagawea’s accomplishment

December 8, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

This week’s incessant rain reminds me of the experience of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The small detachment of the U.S. Army spent its first winter with the Mandan Tribe in what is now North Dakota. It was there that Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide, had her baby, Pomp. The next… Read story

Letter: How was Condit power replaced?

December 8, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Having read the interesting and informative Dec. 5 article “A vision for White Salmon,” I noted the Condit Dam removal took 12 megawatts of electric power off the grid. There was no note in the Lower White Salmon Coalition plan to replace that power. I would question whether any consideration… Read story

Letter: Clark GOP jumped the gun

December 8, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Admittedly, I am not an active member of the Clark County Republican Party. I am, however, a Clark County Republican who is surprised that our local party has endorsed a candidate running for Congress, in the 3rd District, well over a year before the normal primary selection process. Read story

Letter: Feel sorry for the children

December 8, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Railroad lives up to its word

Letter: Suggestions for off-year elections

December 7, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

In response to The Columbian’s editorial on Nov. 28 about voter turnout: Off-year elections have had reduced participation rates for years. No surprise here. But really, should the folks who want to vote in these elections be disenfranchised? No way! These folks obviously care about our county — enough to… Read story
