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."

As many of us will be enjoying spending time with our husbands, wives, children and grandchildren on Thursday, members of the Camas High School football team will be gathering with the people who many of the boys have described as their "second" family -- their teammates.

This is very good news in the wake of a report issued in October 2009 that stated approximately $100,000 in city revenues were missing, a revelation that was followed by then-Mayor Stacee Sellers' abrupt resignation.
Message from a soldier I am a Washougal resident and local middle school history teacher who enlisted in the Army in 2008. Today, I said goodbye to my family to join my team in deploying to Afghanistan for a year.

With the General Election just a week away, the time has come for the procrastinators to cast those ballots, which must be postmarked by Nov. 8 to be counted.
What are Steve Bang's motives? I wasn't going to write a letter to the editor, but after seeing the "Write-in" signs for Steve Bang pop up in the last couple of days, I decided I should.
