Fort Vancouver Historic Site goes
winter schedule, admission is free

Visitors to reconstructed Hudson’s Bay fort at the Fort Vancouver Historic Site are being admitted free during the annual winter schedule that began Sunday. The winter schedule will be in effect through mid-May. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Tours will continue, according to the National Park Service’s Greg Shine, chief ranger for the site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve.

“We are trying to make even more options available to the public,” Shine says. “We are trying to focus more on cultural demonstrations, blacksmith shop, kitchen and carpenter shop.”

In addition to guided tours, visitors can rent audio tour units and tour the fort at their own pace.

The park service has opened the chief factor’s house, the Barclay Quarters and the infirmary so that they will be regularly accessible. These buildings formerly were open only during guided tours.

Vancouver Planning Commission will discuss
I-5 transportation plans in informal session

The Vancouver Planning Commission is holding a public meeting to discuss I-5 transportation plans at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, at City Hall.

Presenters are Kris Stickler, chief engineer for the Columbia River Crossing project, Jay Lyman, senior vice president, David Evans and Associates, who is also consultant team project manager for  the CRC project, and Kate Deane, Oregon Department of Transportation public sector manager for the I-5 Delta Park project.

Because of space available, it is suggested that those wishing to attend call Terry Lenhart, 619-4152, in advance.

SWAT team to deal with
shooter at Westfield mall

An emergency response drill at the Westfield Vancouver Mall involving a simulated active shooter is scheduled after the mall closes at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2. Participating are members of the mall security force, who will perform in various roles, and the Southwest Washington Regional SWAT Team. The drill continues until 11 p.m.
