Senior citizens in the local community are active and vital. Today, people in their 50s, 60s and beyond often are not slowing down, but instead taking on new opportunities to learn, explore and grow. In the Camas-Washougal community, our senior citizens are running marathons, actively volunteering, opening new businesses, caring for their grandchildren, and making efforts to be lifelong learners.

The Bonneville Power Administration announced Wednesday that it has identified the "Central Alternative" using Central Option 1 as its preferred alternative for the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project. "We have heard from many people their desire for us to identify a preferred alternative sooner rather than later," said BPA Administrator Steve Wright. "The preferred alternative represents a healthy balance of our accountability to the region, particularly to those who participated in the public process; our responsibility to manage costs for regional ratepayers; our role as responsible environmental stewards and our goal of operating a reliable transmission system." To view a map of the alternatives and the draft environmental impact statement, visit www.bpa.gov.
A local man enjoys playing music in his "man cave" (three-car garage), and he has the support of his neighbors. Louis Pain, a Washougal organist and keyboard player, recalls his first rehearsal in the garage with other members of Soul Vaccination in late June 2011. The band was rehearsing for the Waterfront Blues Festival with Bruce Conte, a guitarist with Tower of Power. "I was concerned about how our new neighbors would react to the noise," Pain said. "I gave the president of the homeowner's association a heads up, but still throughout the rehearsal, I was braced for the sound of police knocking on the door. The next day, our neighbors told us that they had indeed had an issue with the volume. Namely, they'd wanted us to open the 'man cave' doors and windows so they could hear better."
