National Law Enforcement Memorial honors those who died in the line of duty

The name of our own Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin DeRosier will be engraved on the memorial in Washington D.C.

The Reflector’s Rick Bannan reports “Plans are in motion to figure out a solution for the often – congested Interstate 5 Exit 21 in Woodland, as the city council approved shifting funds used to look at a Scott Avenue re connection toward a look at the interchange last month.”

Matthew Young of Woodland has been awarded the College Fellow at the University of Jamestown in Jamestown, ND.

The College Fellow is given to a limited number of OUTSTANDING junior or senior students each year. They are selected by the faculty and must have exemplary character, possess an overall 3.5 or higher grade point average in their major.

A fellow may tutor or teach under the direction of the department chair and holds rank just below that of the college instructor, according to a press release.

Way to go Matthew Young!

Born Monday May 6th, 2019 at 5:26am local time. He weighed 7lbs 3oz. His Father, Prince Harry was quoted as saying “I haven’t been in many births. This is definitely my first birth, but it was amazing, absolutely incredible, And as I said, I am so incredibly proud of my wife and as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m just over the moon”

Are you concerned about leaving the task of Crossing over, to your loved ones?

Do you know what you want but don’t know how to say it to anyone?

Do you joke and say “just put me in a pine box”?

*** Those are just a few of the reasons we “pre arrange our own funeral”***

Plan it, talk about it, pay for it if you want, Let’s get it put down in words so your children are not faced with having to do it on the worst day of their lives!

It is simple, I always have the coffee on, Come see Kandi…..

Area residents fear inclusion in urban growth boundary could bring hundreds of unwanted homes.

The planning commission recently voted to recommend that the city council expand the urban growth boundary in the area adjacent to the city south of Horseshoe Lake between the railroad and Lewis River down to Wyman Road.

According to the city’s most recent plan, Woodland will need an additional 1,292 housing units by the year 2036. That is about 80 new houses per year, for the next 17 years. Imagine the traffic? Not just at traffic lights, imagine the traffic at the check out line in Safeway? Starbucks? Gas Stations? On average, that is about 5,000 more people.

Do we have the right to say no? The retail growth would explode. What about water? Sewer? Garbage? Jobs would open up, bringing more money into our homes, is it worth it?
