The Clark County Strong Teens Against Substance Hazards and Abuse
Peer Education Program is recruiting youth to fill vacant positions
for the 2009-2010 program year.
Peer Educators are dedicated to addressing alcohol and other drug
issues among youth in Clark County. They promote awareness through
outreach and educational programs while serving as a resource for
peers. Youth serve a one-year term and commit to attending evening
meetings held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.
Requirements are that youth must be Clark County residents, from
grades 7-12, and have an interest in sharing their opinions and
perspectives about substance abuse prevention. Training is provided.
Those interested should submit an application by Monday, Sept. 14,
and participate in an interview process.
The public is invited to review and provide comments on three draft
plans for the 78th Street, WSU property. The goal is to create a
regional hub for farming, agricultural research, community
education, historic interpretation, and recreation.
Display of materials and comment forms will be available through
Friday, Aug. 21, in the lobby on the first floor at Clark County
Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St. The building will be open
from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 13, to accommodate people who
work during the day. Staff will be available that evening to answer
questions.
The draft concept plans may be viewed and comments submitted online
at www.clark.wa.gov/78WSU.
Comments are needed by Aug. 21.
Open house at Clark County
Sherriff's Office West Precinct
The Clark County Sherriff's Office West Precinct is having a public
open house about the on-street parking restrictions in the Mount
Vista area near Washington State University, Vancouver. The open
house is from 6 to 8 p.m. tomorrow, Aug. 11, at 505 NW 179th Street.
In
2008, a group of residents north and west of the WSU Vancouver
campus asked the county to restrict on-street parking. Surveys
conducted in spring 2009 showed that a majority of residents living
on Northeast 147th, 148th and 150th Streets and 26th Avenue favored
the change.
Clark County Public Works is seeking additional input before making
a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. If approved,
the county would restrict on-street parking along Northeast 147th,
148th and 150th Streets between 29th and 26th Avenues, and on
Northeast 26th Avenue between 147th and 148th Streets. Other roads
north of Northeast 150th Street could also be affected.
The restrictions would occur Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m.
to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, please contact traffic engineer
Richard Gamble at
