March 5, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The Columbian’s recent editorial (“Beaches’ finest offering: community service,” Feb. 23) was a well-deserved tribute to Mark Matthias and Ali Novinger, who have contributed immeasurably to our Vancouver community. Read story

Letter: Collecting cans creates work ethic

March 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Recycling! We are all encouraged to do it but individuals who try to redeem cans publicly are frowned upon and even said to be breaking a law (“Can collectors’ rummaging rankles Clark County residents,” The Columbian, Feb. 21). However, just across the bridges in Oregon, people can redeem cans for… Read story

Letter: MAGA supporters help Putin

March 2, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The Putin Party (aka MAGA) in Congress is clueless. Trump tells them to hold up any immigration legislation so he can use the matter as a campaign issue. Don’t they realize that the Democratic Party is raising millions to counter the lies that come out of Trump’s mouth, all of… Read story

Letter: Age is just a number

March 2, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Most negatives I’ve heard about Joe Biden are about his age. Did you know that if Donald Trump is elected, he’ll be older than Joe Biden was when he took office? What really counts is the ability to do the job. (My mom is 101 and still plays bridge.) Read story

Letter: Haley is best for presidency

March 1, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I believe Nikki Haley is the best choice for the presidency. President Joe Biden is gradually losing his mental faculties as age is catching up with him. Former President Donald Trump has little character, he’s showing he is an acerbic grumpy old man as well and may well be under… Read story
