Commuters, shoppers and recreational drivers between Vancouver and Portland will continue to face tough weekend drives for the next few months as four lanes of the southbound I-205 Glenn Jackson Bridge will be reduced to just two lanes during bridge joint replacement work. The I-205 bridge is co-owned by the states of Oregon and Washington, with Oregon responsible for maintenance of the structure. More than 140,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day. The Oregon Department of Transportation is replacing 20 aging bridge joints on the north end of the structure. The joints are more than 30 years old and at the end of their functional lifespan. Drivers felt the effects of around-the-clock double-lane closures during work on the northbound bridge lanes earlier this year. Backups extended 10 miles into Oregon, delays topped two hours and I-5 became clogged with detouring drivers.

Parents, are your kids starting to use the "b" word at home? As in, "I'm bored!" If so, there will be three different day camps coming up soon to help. Kathy Marty, a local artist and teacher at River Homelink in Camas, will be leading the camps.
The Camas School District has established a new scholarship named after recently retired Assistant Superintendent Tanis Knight. Three recent graduates, two from Camas High School and one from Hayes Freedom High School, are the recipients of the 2010 Tanis Knight Achievers Scholarship. The scholarship criteria includes demonstrating determination to achieve personal and academic goals throughout high school, overcoming adversity and having future goals and plans.
