Steve Pagel to lead Battle Ground School Board

Steve Pagel

The Battle Ground School District board of directors elected Steve Pagel, one of its three new members, as president. Sam Kim, the outgoing president, was elected vice president. John Idsinga, another new member, was elected legislative representative.

Pagel, 51, is the owner of a commercial and residential landscape maintenance business. He is a 1977 graduate of Columbia River High School in Vancouver. He attended the University of Washington, and then Lewis & Clark College in Portland, graduating in 1981 in business administration.

Pagel is a longtime volunteer for numerous civic and school causes, including service as volunteer auctioneer at fund-raisers for school groups and other nonprofit organizations.

Pagel and his wife, Julie, a teacher in Vancouver, live in the Pleasant Valley area of the Battle Ground School District. They have three children: Katie, a sophomore at Prairie High School; Andrew, a freshman at the University of Washington; and Alison, a junior at Colorado State University.

Pagel, Idsinga and Monty Anderson were elected to the board of directors in November. Kim and Director Karen Lehman are returning board members.

Clark College welcomes a literary detective for the ages

Paul Collins

Author and professor Paul Collins will be the next guest speaker in Clark College’s Columbia Writers Series. Collins will appear from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in Clark’s Penguin Union Building. The event is free and open to the public.

As a writer, Collins specializes in science history, memoir, and unusual antiquarian literature. His six books have been translated into 10 languages. They include The Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World (2009), The Trouble with Tom: The Strange Afterlife and Times of Thomas Paine (2005), Not Even Wrong: A Father's Journey Into the Lost History of Autism (2004), Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books (2003), and Banvard’s Folly: Tales of Renowned Obscurity, Famous Anonymity and Rotten Luck (2002).

Collins is a frequent contributor to the "Histories" column of New Scientist magazine. His other recent freelance work includes essays for the New York Times, Slate, and The Believer. In addition to appearing regularly on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday as its resident “literary detective” on odd and forgotten old books, he is also the founding editor of the Collins Library imprint of McSweeney's Books, where he has revived such disparate works as a World War I internment camp memoir (To Ruhleben and Back) and an absurdist 1934 detective tale (The Riddle of the Traveling Skull).

Collins lives in Portland, OR, where he teaches creative nonfiction as an assistant professor in the master of fine arts (MFA) program at Portland State University.

This event will help to make that a reality.”

Tickets are $30 per person, or $200 for a table of eight. Guests may reserve tickets by calling 1-800-880-9837 ext. 4, or visit http://www.NWABA.org. The deadline for ticket registration is Monday, Feb. 22.

Services are donated by Clark College, Clark County Dental Society, Clark County Public Health, Free Clinic of Southwest Washington and Greater Southwest Washington Dental Hygiene Association. Funding is provided by Ronald McDonald House Charities and Washington Oral Health Foundation.
