The legislative town hall with Republican lawmakers from the state’s 18th District held Saturday morning inside the Port of Camas-Washougal’s picturesque headquarters had a few moments of drama over vaccines and taxes but was mostly a well-oiled affair covering an impressively diverse range of topics.
New Year’s customs vary widely around the world, but all seem designed to secure the same types of things — luck, love, happiness and good fortune — in the new year.

Now that the election (which took an unexpectedly heated and divisive turn in Camas) is over, it’s time to concentrate on the things that unite us every November and December — breaking bread together, exchanging gifts, donating to families in need, celebrating holiday traditions with family and friends, feeling grateful for the things that make life worth living and, of course, pie.
Happy Halloween to everyone reading this Cheers & Jeers editorial on the day it publishes. And Happy The-Election-is-Almost-Over to everyone else.
