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.

Before every FIRST LEGO League Robotics competition, a judge inspects the team's robot to ensure it meets requirements and asks questions. The Camas Mechanikids scored approximately 360 points, the highest of the contest. The second-place team scored approximately 298 points.

Mechanikids have got the right stuff

A local robotics team from Camas fared well at a recent regional competition. The Mechanikids won first overall in robot performance, as well as a trophy for a spot in the state competition this Saturday and Sunday. Both the regional and state competition consists of Core Values judging, Research Presentation, and Robot Performance.

Council will look at short- and long-term utility rate solutions

Utility bills are the big issue in Washougal. They should be. In 2012, the minimum bimonthly residential charge was $174.60. That base charge went up 20 percent ($37) to $211.13 this year. But the Council could take action on Jan. 22 that might keep the increase to less than $10. If the increase is kept that low, it will be the result of a creative Council, mayor, and staff. This would not have happened without hearing from our citizens.

Camas needs to prepare to ‘go to war’ with BPA

The BPA draft Environmental Impact Statement for the project they have strategically named the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project was published in November 2012. Many people reading this letter to the editor may have only minimal familiarity with the project. I can assure you, those members of our community who are directly along the paths that BPA is considering are quickly becoming more knowledgeable about this project. If you think the current power lines running through Camas are ugly, I encourage you to look at the size and shape of the new and bigger power lines towers. They make the current towers look like midgets.
