Boys and Girls Club serves Camas and Washougal residents I am writing in response to the article in the Sept. 4 Post Record, regarding Washougal councilwoman Joyce Lindsey's desire to bring another Boys and Girls Club to our area.
Ask questions about city code I am responding directly to Madeline Lyne's Letter to the Editor on "Land being decimated by clear-cutting" that was in the Aug. 7 Post-Record.
Privatizing public works is a serious matter In Dawn Feldhaus' report of the meeting of the City of Washougal City Council, the innocuous wording would not make the average reader aware of the seriousness of one of the subjects being discussed - the City is considering giving control of the city's water and sewer systems to a private operator.

Delavar contributes to government's dysfunction In his Nov. 22 Post-Record guest column, Washougal City Councilman Michael Delavar says he thinks Washougal's City Council should "ignore the conclusions of the strategic planning team" because "much of the work done so far has been based on a precariously unscientific survey."
