Smitty’s Barber Shop remodel sets stage for fresh cuts, real connections - The Reflector (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Smitty’s Barber Shop in Battle Ground, owner Tonja Smith and barbers Mara Smothers and Cassidee Hoffmann are all cleaning up after a day’s work in their new shop, a door down from their previous suite. The last tonsorial instruments disappear into cherry-red toolboxes. The shop is clean and masculine, with live-edge wooden benches, expertly poured concrete counters and a leather couch. Still to come is a TV where movies will play, according to Smith. The shop’s atmosphere is the product of th

The Kelso Highlander Festival and Scottish Games have been celebrated at the park for 44 years. This year's Saturday opening brought vendors and clan tents along with traditional dancers and musicians such as the Wicked Tinkers, the Fort Vancouver Pipe Band and more. A sizable crowd of local Sc
Invasive knotweed persists at Gee Creek; local volunteers urge Ridgefield to treat the weed more aggressively - The Reflector (opens the original)
