Horseshoe Lake - NO WAKE - 8:59 a.m. 8/23/2010

A group of Woodland citizens, supported by the Horseshoe Lake Management Committee and the Woodland Parks Committee are trying to pass new rules which would make Horseshoe Lake a "No Wake Lake", limiting speeds to 5MPH. This is in the interest of safety to other users of the lake, to minimize erosion which threatens properties and roads, and to help limit the spread of the Eupasian Milfoil which is choking the lake. Our efforts have been thwarted by the city council who seem to be swayed by the interests of people who live outside the city of Woodland, but feel it is their right to wakeboard and waterski on the lake. If anyone agrees that this lake is better suited to kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, swimming and fishing, show your support by attending city council meetings, or at least send an e-mail to the Mayor or the city council with your thoughts. Thank you. Terry Jones - Woodland, WA tjswimdad@aol.com http://lewisrivver.com/woodland/forum/

Put the blame where it belongs! - 5:58 p.m. 6/16/2010

Put the blame where it belongs! Real estate speculators, bankers, and certain stock manipulators have caused the biggest loss of capital in history. This is resulting in huge losses for the auto industry and other companies, causing high unemployment, which in turn causes all kinds of social problems. BP's well drilling blow out took 11 human lives. It will cost over $50 billion in clean up efforts alone. It is impossible to put a price tag on the human lives and harm to the environment. None of these things were done by the government. However, so many people are blaming almost everything on our government. Also, there are many complaints about illegal aliens. It seems wrong to me to hear Christians complain about helping other people. What happened to being our brothers keeper. When I hear people complain, I want to ask them what they need. The fact is that most of those that complain the loudest have more than enough of everything. Look what exceptional people like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are doing. They are giving a large share of their fortune to charity. Charity is my favorite word. I wish more people would think this way. I believe we would have a healthier society if they did.

Walmart - 8:42 p.m. 4/28/2010

Walmart is coming. Get over it! I keep hearing how horrible of an employer they are. Noone forces the people to work there. I hear all their products are made in China. Go to Fred Meyer or Target, or any other retailer, and start reading labels. China, China, China. I want the option to shop where my money goes farthest. I recently bought an item that while shopping around was $105 at Freddys, $94 at Bob's Merchandise, and only $64 at Walmart. That's only one example of many. So to all who don't want Walmart, go somewhere else. I and a lot of others welcome them to Woodland. GEW - Woodland, Wa Gew2003@yahoo.com

Bonneville Power Administration I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project - 12:26 p.m. 3/29/2010

I am writing with regards to Bonneville Power Administration I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project and their proposed 500 kV lines. My neighbors and I are in the Battle Ground, Amboy, Yacolt, Dole Valley, Chelatchie Prairie, and Merwin/Buncombe Hollow areas. We are a community of hard working individuals who survived the timber industry collapse and the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Now it's Bonneville Power Administration who will be destroying our lifelong investments by creating a drop in our property values if they run these lines through our properties. This, which is to be our children’s inheritance, will be destroyed if BPA gets their way. These lines will directly impact our area's rich historical and aesthetic value. Take a walk through Moulton Falls Park or stroll on the Hantwick Trail that follows the East fork of the Lewis River. This is where these 500 kV line proposed routes will cross the Lewis River. Take a trip to Cedar Creek Grist Mill near Woodland and imagine driving under these lines. There, replacing 150-foot Douglas fir trees will be 15-story towers running their massive lines along side Green Mountain School. Pass by the Chelatchie Prairie Store when taking your family waterskiing or swimming at Saddle Dam or Cresap Bay where these huge towers and sagging lines will cross your over your swimming area heading north on to Castle Rock. I am not against these lines; I believe they are necessary. However, there are viable alternative routes on unpopulated lands BPA could have chosen, but instead they chose to drop these into our laps in heavily populated area properties. After months of many volunteers working to pull together affected landowners in our area through the Clark County GIS system, Better Way for BPA is now over 1000 landowners strong and proudly representing its neighbors. We ask all affected/concerned parties to not allow wedges to come between us. Let’s maintain community solidarity by uniting all affected landowners in Clark and Cowlitz Counties. Without strength in numbers, we have nothing. Better Way For BPA will be having a question and answer meeting scheduled for April 9th, at Amboy Middle School, from 7-9 p.m. Mark Korsness, Project Manager for the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project, will be there to answer your questions. We have also contacted our political representatives and asked them to attend.
