Cismar challenges Jacks
Bill Cismar Bill Cismar, a Vancouver resident since 1987, announced his candidacy for the 49th Legislative District, position 1, currently held by Democrat Jim Jacks Tuesday evening. Cismar, a Republican and a veteran, spent three decades working in the high- tech industry as a field service engineer, engineering technician, and business owner before returning to school to pursue a career as a data network administrator. "I would far rather be happily employed and working with a local business helping to generate real income for the greater Vancouver community," Cismar says. "But as I look at my country, my state and my local community, I see a worsening economic storm. I have never been one to stand by the side and let others tackle difficult issues on my behalf. I’m the guy who stops to render aid at traffic accidents in the pouring rain. I volunteered and served in uniform when the military was out of public favor. And I simply do not trust the current establishment to be sensitive to the real concerns of the people of Vancouver unless we make them so." "I am as average a Vancouver citizen as you’ll likely ever meet,” Cismar said. “And as such, no one is more familiar to the average citizen's needs and concerns." Battle Ground schools announces leadership changes
Linda Allen On Monday, Battle Ground Public Schools Superintendent Shonny Bria announced her choice of Linda Allen, principal at Chief Umtuch Middle School, to fill a vacancy as Director of Human Resources for the district, contingent on approval by the Battle Ground School Board June 18. The post has been vacant since the double failure of school levies in 2007.
David Cresap David Cresap, the assistant principal at Chief Umtuch, was named by Bria to replace Allen as principal, also pending Board approval. Cresap is a descendant of the pioneer Cresap family that homesteaded in Battle Ground in 1866 and has been active in civic life ever since. Allen is the granddaughter of Winnie Dobbins, a legendary Amboy School cook for many years who was named one of the district’s “100 Heroes” at its centennial celebration in January. Her mother, Evelyn, was a teacher at Yacolt and Amboy. Both are graduates of Battle Ground High School. Letter Carriers food drive total matches last year's Clark County received 157,301 pounds of food during the Letter Carriers food drive in May. The total almost exactly matched the amount collected last year. The food is distributed through the Salvation Army’s Stop Hunger Warehouse. More than 9,000 food boxes are given out every month.
