Letter: Be considerate, obey leash laws

April 11, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The unwillingness of Clark County dog owners to obey leash laws and have some consideration for others is impressive. At nearly every park with posted leashing requirements, one is met with dogs rushing at them, bounding off-trail and leaving “gifts” on or next to trees (which, by the amount of… Read story

Letter: Vote yes on Ridgefield school bonds

April 11, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Enforcing laws is simple

Letter: Support Ridgefield school bonds

April 9, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

When I started kindergarten at South Ridge Elementary in 1969, there were only two elementary schools in Ridgefield: South Ridge and Union Ridge. Now, 55 years later, there are still only two, but thousands of new homes and families. Read story

Letter: Add traffic cameras in Vancouver

April 9, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

An article from the Washington State Standard (“New Washington law will allow traffic cameras on more city streets and county roads,” The Columbian, March 28) reported that while road deaths have been declining nationally, they continue to go up in Washington. They are also going up in Clark County and… Read story
