Letters to the Editor for Jan. 22, 2013

I am writing this letter to encourage Camas residents to show their support for the upcoming Camas School District replacement levies on Feb. 12. As a junior at UC Berkeley I have been living away from Camas for almost three years now. In those three years I have experienced many new things and met many new people, but there is one thing that continually surprises me.

Help Camas schools continue tradition

My family and I have been Camas residents for over 15 years. We also have children who attend both Camas High School and Skyridge Middle School.

Proud of WHS students

I attended the Washougal High School Holiday Bazaar Nov. 17. It was great to see the different student groups participating. From students manning the Stuff the Bus table to the choir's wonderful music to the Interact Club's goodie table with the proceeds going to Uganda to even middle school students raising money for their basketball team. It was a great time shopping.

Speak up at coal hearings

As you know, the forecast is to have 24 coal trains rumble through Gorge communities. These slow moving trains are each 1.5 miles long. They will degrade life for a million people all along the route from Montana to Camas and from Camas to the proposed terminal near Bellingham.

Vote ‘yes’ on Referendum 74

As a photographer’s wife, my husband and I have helped out at more weddings than we can count. We have worked all over the state of Washington while photographing couples both gay and straight.

Support Adrian Cortes

As Olympia becomes more partisan, now more than ever we need real problem solvers that can work with everyone.

Vick is a leader

Over the course of the last decade I have had the pleasure of watching Brandon Vick grow into a man of good character and an exemplary leader.

Where is the justice?

Our Constitution states “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,…” Yes, “to establish Justice” is stated in our Constitution. Where is “justice” in a tax code that allows millionaires and corporations to pay a smaller percentage of federal income taxes than our working citizens?

Support Shehorn for state legislature

In recent months, I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with David Shehorn, who is running for the State Legislature District 18 House seat.

Letter to the Editor for Sept. 25, 2012

CCIA would like to set the record straight

Regarding Dawn Feldhaus’s Sept. 11 article “Candidate’s use of Grove Field parking lot generates complaints,” which described 18th District Representative and candidate Liz Pike’s use of the airport parking lot for her campaign fundraiser, CCIA would like to set the record straight.

Letter to the Editor for Sept. 18, 2012

Vote for David Shehorn

This November, Camas and the rest of the 18th District have a rare opportunity to send a qualified, considerate, intelligent and hard working person to Olympia as our representative.

Boys and Girls Club serves Camas and Washougal residents

I am writing in response to the article in the Sept. 4 Post Record, regarding Washougal councilwoman Joyce Lindsey’s desire to bring another Boys and Girls Club to our area.

Ask questions about city code

I am responding directly to Madeline Lyne’s Letter to the Editor on “Land being decimated by clear-cutting” that was in the Aug. 7 Post-Record.

Letters to the Editor for August 21, 2012

Privatizing public works is a serious matter

In Dawn Feldhaus’ report of the meeting of the City of Washougal City Council, the innocuous wording would not make the average reader aware of the seriousness of one of the subjects being discussed – the City is considering giving control of the city’s water and sewer systems to a private operator. This frightens me.

Land being decimated by clear-cutting

I had never been to the Northwest until I moved here 12 years ago. I knew it rained but I also knew it to be a very beautiful place and assumed we would buy a house on a decent-sized lot, with decent-sized trees, and that our windows would be a decent distance from our neighbor’s windows. What a naive assumption.
