A couple of years back when the Washougal City Council were debating the "E" Street improvements, we were very interested and attended some of those meetings and stood up to speak in favor of these improvements. We were for them because what we were hearing was a vision of a safer more attractive "E" Street, with new sidewalks, a center turn lane and bike lanes. Residents would be able to walk, bike and drive to the new shops, restaurants and services that would want to locate there.

Archer Don Newell believes anybody can shoot a bow and arrow, even if they are blind. Students from the Washington School for the Blind proved it Wednesday at the Chinook Archer's range in Camas, by popping balloons and winning candy bars, soda pops and gold medals. Newell and other volunteers have been guiding these blind archers for the past six years. "The kids just thoroughly enjoy it. Any time one of them pops a balloon, the whole place is in an uproar," Newell said. "Kids are our being of tomorrow. We want to do everything we can to help them."
