Chartrand first Camas bowling champion

Porsche Chartrand dreamed of this moment since she started rolling bowling balls down the lanes at the age of 11. "To win any tournament is something I've always wanted," said the 17-year-old Camas High School junior. "It feels good to be the first Camas district bowling champion. I walk a little taller now, that's for sure." Chartrand made her dream come true by racking up scores of 205, 198 and 226 for a combined series of 629 Friday, at Allen's Crosley Lanes near downtown Vancouver. Her 226-game set a new school record and helped the Papermaker defeat Stacy Dettling of Evergreen High School for the 4A district championship medal by five pins.

Beginning Friday, traffic on Highway 14 in Camas-Washougal will be shifted to a new southern frontage road that runs parallel to the highway. This route will take drivers through two roundabouts at Union (above) and Second streets for the next 10 months.

SR-14 traffic shifts to frontage road on Friday

Drivers on state Route 14 in Camas and Washougal will see some major changes in their trips next week when crews start the second half of a $49 million construction project that when complete will improve safety and traffic flow between Vancouver, east Clark County and the Columbia River Gorge. At 8 p.m. on Friday, all traffic on state Route 14 will shift to a new southern frontage road that runs parallel to the highway. Drivers will travel 25 mph through two roundabouts at Union and Second streets for nearly 10 months.
