Rumor Control - 1:12 p.m. 1/9/2009

PacifiCorp did an excellent job of protecting all of the Lewis River Valley residents from a catastrophic flood that would have occurred if the dams had not been there. Many rumors and very poor reporting by some reporters led people to be misinformed. This is what happened: At the height of the event there was over 150000 Cubic Feet per Second coming into the reservoirs. At the beginning of the event there was 35000 acre feet of storage in the three reservoirs total. By holding back water PacifiCorp was able to never release over 40000 CFS. Consequently, there was only minor flooding in very low lying areas. As you know, we live right on the North Fork by Woodland. The river was at least five feet below our yard at the highest. PacifiCorp needs to be congratulated for not over reacting. The Woodland Fire Department also did the right thing by asking us to evacuate because they were told it was possible that 60000 CFS may have to be released and it would have been in the middle of the night. Bottom line, we all were very fortunate. Email me any time. Respectfully submitted, Noel Johnson President Noel Johnson - Woodland, WA Noel@lewisriver.com hhtp://www.lewisriver.com

No to Wal-Mart - 3:05 p.m. 12/10/2008

I have seen the devastation wal-mart brings to small towns first hand all over the US. I have talked to more employees of wal-mart than I care to remember and if you stack the good with the bad the bad out weighs the good first I'll tell you about Oklahoma City wal-mart did an experiment on the town now I know it's not that small but what they did was criminal in my opinion they started building stores and watched the city for loss at first no big deal the small business started to close one by one then I think the magic number was 10 stores thy found the city could not sustain so the started closing the ones that was not making enough money. another woman I new in Upper Marlboro Maryland her sister worked in the same store needed a life or death operation and her doctor put in the application you see wal-mart has their own insurance company well the short of the story is they refused to pay because the operation did not have a high enough success rate needless to say she had the operation and it was a success and she lived and so did the bill she had to pay. Look I've meet some who are just tickled to have the job most of those are retired that needs to supplement their income but not a livable wage. You want to bring jobs to Woodland bring industry back you want a department store or grocery store get some investors together and build a community store or if you don't want to bother with that get Fred Myers a smaller corporation to come to town not one that only wants you to only have one choice in where to shop and work... Remember it's hard to get rid of a mob once the put down roots D. Hampton - Woodland, Wa.

Hello - 12:41 p.m. 10/15/2008

Message: Hello! As a member of City Council, we talked at our workshop on Monday, October 13 about a few possibilities of getting more information out to you. One of the things discussed would be to: tape and broadcast our council meetings on KLTV so that people that are housebound (or that want to record and fast forward to skip ahead to listen to only the portions they're interested in) will be able to view Council meetings on TV. It is my understanding that this is of little or even possibly no cost to the City. Another idea that I have been thinking about is to have periodic Town Hall meetings for citizens to discuss and bring forward potential solutions to area concerns in a less formal environment. I'm wondering if there'd be any interest in a quarterly Saturday morning coffee meeting...? I would like to know if there is any citizen interest in either of these ideas. You can contact me at either council03@integrity.com or mccallm@ci.woodland.wa.us. Thank you! Marilee McCall Woodland City Council, Position #3 Marilee McCall - Woodland Council03@integrity.com

Woodland Alumni Assoc. - 8:49 a.m. 10/15/2008

Recently, We have been approached about a Alumni Club, seems everyone has ideas, but no time to start one up. The Booster Club is willing to lay the groundwork, and get things set up, We will be setting this up,in hopes some Woodland Alumni will step forward and take it over. We believe this is a excellent opportunity for re-newing old friendships, making new ones, and offering a scholarship fund, each year to a Senior graduating from Woodland High School. We are graduates of WHS, we have some good ideas, and are willing to help and be members, but, we have 10 scholarships a year we raise money for with the Booster Club, so this is something We dont mind getting up and running, but eventually we want someone to come in and take over. The only criteria is, You must have attended Woodland Schools. So, what are you waiting for? Might be fun!
