Southwest Washington Medical Center's $146 million expansion information

Is the proposed project at our Daybreak property in the public interest? You decide.

All water rights will be donated to the state in trust for in-stream flow enhancement (an estimated total of 5% of the groundwater rights in the EFLR basin).

Call 397-2232 and let the commissioners know that
solid science and not politics must guide their decision regarding the project.

Commissioners replace afternoon
meeting with evening session

Clark County commissioners, who are in a process of revising the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan today, canceled the Tuesday, July 5, afternoon session but rescheduled additional opportunities for property owners or their representatives to speak about specific requests for changes in the urban growth boundaries.

Two evening sessions will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 5, and Wednesday, July 6, in the sixth-floor hearing room of the county’s Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin Street, Vancouver.

Comments should focus on the location of the property in relation to an existing urban growth boundary and how the owner proposes to use the property

Demos nominate Steve Stuart

Just as the Republicans did earlier, nominating Tom Mielke as their candidate for the Clark County Commissioner position held by Steve Stuart, who was appointed to succeed Craig Pridemore, Democrat precinct officers from the 3rd commissioner district this week nominated Stuart as their candidate for the office.

Likely, the two will be the leading candidates, but not because they were nominated. Each will go to the county elections office the week of July 25 to file their intentions to run for the office .Anyone else willing to file and pay necessary fees can become a candidate too.

Two things are new to Clark County for the September 20, primary election. The election will be conducted entirely with mail-in ballots, with the top two vote getters advancing to the general election even if they are from the same party. However, if only two file for an office, no primary will be held, and both candidates will advance to the Nov. 8 general election.

Absentee ballots for the primary election are expected to be mailed to voters by the end of August.

Mentors needed for at-risk children

Clark County Mental Hearth Services is seeking volunteer mentors for a new federally funded mentoring program for at-risk children from the Fir Grove Children’s Center

The Fir Grove Children’s Center provides day treatment for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children from school districts throughout Clark County.

CCMHS recently received a $140,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Mentoring Grant Program, which will run the local mentoring program for three years.

Mentors will be asked to make a 2- to 4-hour commitment a week. For further information, call Elizabeth Carlisle-Sullivan, 993-3184.

Disney’s The Incredibles
to be shown free Sunday

The Disney Studio movie The Incredibles will be shown free on a huge, inflatable screen on the parade grounds on Officers Row at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 3.

The free movie is in keeping with the tradition that the parade grounds at the barracks are a gathering place, according to Greg Shine, chief ranger of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

The screen will be east of the bandstand and across Officers Row from the Marshall House.

People
