Reichstag where German bundestag meets in Berlin Nearly two dozen members of the Clark College German Club, recently returned from Germany, will be showing slide pictures of their tour of Berlin at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, in Foster Auditorium. The public is invited, and there is no charge. Clark German professor Julian Nelson, who shepherded the students, says the tour embodied the college’s five C’s—communication, cultures, connections, comparisons and communities. Margaret Colf-Hepola to The Clark County Historical Society will present its 2006 Heritage Award to Woodland resident Margaret Colf-Hepola. Colf-Hepola, a Clark County native, was a 2002 YWCA of Clark County Woman of Achievement. Colf-Hepola is credited with saving the historic 1905 C. R. Zener residence in La Center and turning it into the city’s library, and for helping to restore the Cedar Creek Grist Mill. The award will be presented at a luncheon at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 22, in the Lewis River Golf Course, 3209 Lewis River Road, Woodland. The luncheon is $22 per person. For reservations, call 993-5679. Corps of Engineers accepting
comments The U.S. Corps of Engineers is accepting comments on an Environmental Impact Statement that it will prepare prefatory to approval of the proposed 500-acre Gateway industrial expansion at the Port of Vancouver. Port of Vancouver plans call for industrial development of part of its holdings north of the flushing channel on the Columbia River that would enhance the import-export opportunities within the lower Columbia River region. The Corps of Engineers is expected to limit the number of alternatives in the draft EIS to the port’s proposal or no project at all.
