Cheers: To local government. A new year has brought a slew of swearing-in ceremonies for local officials. City councilors in Vancouver and Camas have officially taken office after being elected in November, and Battle Ground has a new mayor chosen by city council members. Meanwhile, Eileen Quiring O’Brien has retained her seat as Clark County chair, being elected by council members following a voter-approved change to the county charter.
Clark County sheriff’s deputies are asking for help identifying a man who drove a stolen pickup truck through the front window of the Lewisville Market and Deli.
