Pollard to focus on The mayor of America's Vancouver, Royce Pollard, will focus on opportunities that will move the community forward during his 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, State-of-the-City address in the Hilton Vancouver Washington. According to Pollard. "As we look to the next 150 years in the life of our city, there will be possibilities that we can scarcely imagine today, but our challenge is to examine how we will adapt our community to ensure that we leave a vibrant and dynamic legacy for our children, their children and beyond. We can't do everything at once so we need to zero in on those things that are the most important for us to do this year, to help us build a bridge to the future," the Mayor said. The cost is $5 per person. Advance registration is required by calling the city manager's office, 696-8200.

City ahead of ice man While most Vancouver residents are asleep, Vancouver Public Works road crews are attending to streets and thoroughfares to make them passable for early commuters as winter has come to the city. Arterials are cleared of snow and slush accumulations and crews treat streets with anti-icing agents on selected corridors, snow bus routes and hills. The city has reduced the use of sand in favor of solid and liquid anti-icing solutions. Nevertheless, motorists are asked to use caution and to keep distances between vehicles safe. Calendar Clark College is offering tips to current and prospective college students on how to compete in the scholarship arena from 7 to 9 p.m. this evening in Gaiser Hall.
