I wonder if they actually realize that.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">NickRuark</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Feb 2021 23:56:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Letter: Uphold county fireworks ban</title><link>https://www.columbian.com/news/2021/jan/20/letter-uphold-county-fireworks-ban/#comment-5235177318</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Mr. Patterson - Only 10 shots every night? And from firearms? Consider yourself fortunate; most of us living here in the more populated areas of the county are forced to contend with hundreds of unwelcomed 'shots' per hour from illegal fireworks for multiple days &lt;b&gt;before&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;after &lt;/b&gt;the 4th of July. So, yes, I do believe the fireworks ban should upheld but not simply because of the noise. There are other reasons for retaining the ban as were expressed in my letter.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">NickRuark</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jan 2021 15:07:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Herrera Beutler’s impeachment vote sees backlash from Republicans in Clark County</title><link>https://www.columbian.com/news/2021/jan/14/herrera-beutlers-impeachment-vote-sees-backlash-from-republicans-in-clark-county/#comment-5227852765</link><description>&lt;p&gt;JHB did exactly what was required by the oath of office she took when she was elected.

Now, IMHO, the only reason - and I repeat, the ONLY reason - the ban is now being reconsidered is due to the recent election of one of the Clark County Council members. Does anyone else see or have a problem with that?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">NickRuark</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jan 2021 13:44:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Parents to hold ‘Ridgefield Rally to Open Schools’ event today</title><link>https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/dec/08/parents-to-hold-ridgefield-rally-to-open-schools-event-today/#comment-5181539908</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hmmm.... one wonders how many of these parents are just looking for an excuse to return schools to their former babysitting duties.....&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">NickRuark</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2020 13:32:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Vancouver ‘Stop the Steal’ rally organized by Joey Gibson alleges election stolen from Trump</title><link>https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/nov/07/vancouver-stop-the-steal-rally-organized-by-joey-gibson-alleges-election-stolen-from-trump/#comment-5142905509</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It's now quite clear (or should be) that it wasn't only Donald J.

The increasing numbers of positive cases - and deaths - don't lie, people! Those people who are NOT masking up and practicing social distancing really need to wake up and exercise some of that 'personal responsibility' that many of you claim is important before it's too late!
