Though he said students need to be held responsible, he also said there needs to be steps tak- en to ensure a behavior does not happen again. “We do need to support the children and teach them how to do better next time, and support the families,” Feller said. When asked what made him want to apply for the position of superintendent of the Battle Ground School District, Mark Hottowe explained that he be- lieves the district is on the cusp of doing some great things. “You have a new board, you’ll have a new superinten- dent and new money coming in from the levy,” Hottowe said. “This district is going to start growing rapidly and it’s going to be a phenomenal place to work in. I think it will be a chal- lenge and I like challenges.” If chosen as the new super- intendent, Hottowe said his own personal top three priori- ties would be to include spend- ing time building relationships with the faculty and staff within the district, learning all he can about the district and working to build a strong relationship with the school board in order to work together as a team. “We are here because of the students,” Hottowe said. “We are primarily here to teach students and I say ‘primarily’ because we also have a social responsibility, medical respon- sibilities, etc.” In regards to alternative learning programs in the dis- trict, Mike Stromme said he would support the current pro- grams in the district by reach- ing out to students and finding out what they need. If the cost of not having the proper pro- grams is a student not fulfill- ing his or her potential and not graduating, then Stromme said that is “not acceptable.” “We need to educate them (students) on how something might be getting in the way of them being successful,” Strom- me said. “One size doesn’t fit all in alternative learning.” Stromme was also asked why he felt he was suited to meet the challenges of the dis- trict. He said he is passionate about public education and serving the community, and that he wears many hats and knows when he needs to push to get something done. Also one of the three final- ists for the superintendent po- sition in the Ridgefield School District, Stromme said he actu- ally had no intention of chasing a superintendent job at first and that there really haven’t been a lot of superintendent positions available until recently. “I’m more concerned about being in the community than the job,” Stromme said. “I real- ly needed it to be the right time to seek a superintendent posi- tion. If that choice is there (if chosen for different districts), that will be a rough couple of days. If I have that opportunity, it will be a tough position.” Here is some background information on all three of the candidates: • Theodore Feller currently works as the executive director of secondary education for Ev- ergreen Public Schools in Van- couver. Evergreen has a current enrollment of 26,461. Feller obtained his bachelor’s degree from Willamette University in 1986, his master’s degree from Portland State University in 1992 and his doctorate in edu- cation from Portland State Uni- versity in 2010. He previously worked as the director of as- sessment and school improve- ment at Centennial School District in Portland, and as principal in the Tigard-Tualatin School District. • George (Mark) Hottowe is currently the superintendent for Ocean Beach School District in Long Beach, which has an en- rollment of 975. Hottowe’s pre- vious experiences include ex- ecutive director of supervision and human resources for the Kelso School District, director of student services for the Kel- so School District, elementary and middle school principal for the Kelso School District, prin- cipal in the Longview School District, assistant principal at the Sumner School District and a teacher at Central Kit- sap School District. Hottowe obtained his bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College in 1975, his master’s degree in education from Central Wash- ington University in 1982 and superintendent credential from Washington State University in 2013. • Mike Stromme is currently em- ployed as the associate superin- tendent, teaching and learning, for the Vancouver School Dis- trict. The district has a current enrollment of 22,500. Strom- me’s earlier experiences include interim superintendent for the Green Mountain School District in Woodland, associate superin- tendent of instructional services and technology at Educational Service District 112, chief of secondary schools for the Van- couver School District and high school principal at the Vancouver School District. He received his bachelor’s degree from Portland State University in 1988, his master’s degree from the Univer- sity of Portland in 1993 and his doctorate from Washington State University in 2004.

Council member Sandra Day said she believes Stuart will “make this city move forward ... in a manner without reproach.” Council member Darren Wertz added that the new city manager “has exceptional plan- ning abilities.” A local resident, Maria Ro- driguez-Salazar, spoke against hiring Stuart during part of the meeting that allowed public in- put. She said he would be over- ly political in the position. “It’s not a fit for our commu- nity,” she said. “It’s the polit- ical part that I don’t want our community to be part of. I’m concerned our community is going to become a carnival.” However, council member John Main later called Stuart’s se- lection a “bold decision, but one that is best for the city.

The sheriff’s office received a call alerting deputies to Mos- by’s location about 2:30 p.m. Friday, Neiman said. He add- ed that U.S. Marshal’s Office personnel was already at the scene when deputies arrived, including the SWAT team with a Bearcat armored vehicle. The sheriff’s office Major Crimes Unit was processing the scene early Friday evening. “A number of agencies” re- sponded to the situation, Nei- man said. Vancouver Police Department is taking the lead in further investigation, he added. Mosby was last seen when Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers and Clark County dep- uties spent hours searching the rest stop near Ridgefield on March 6. They went there after being alerted that a man was there with a gunshot wound to his leg, Trooper Will Finn said. Police said at that time they considered Mosby to be armed and dangerous. He reportedly had voiced disdain for police. Mosby was wanted on felony warrants for crimes ranging from robbery and drug possession to trafficking stolen property, Finn said.
