Help keep C-W beautiful

It's late summer days like today -- sunny with temperatures that are expected to reach 90 degrees -- that make you realize how great it is to live in the Pacific Northwest. And Camas and Washougal are especially beautiful areas where a premium is placed on making sure there are plenty of parks, open spaces and recreational areas where people can enjoy the outdoors. Mother Nature does her part, but as citizens we must also take an active role in keeping our communities beautiful places to live, work and play. With that in mind, a number of service and community clean up events are scheduled in the coming weeks.

The importance of remembrance

This morning, the Camas-Washougal Fire Department held its annual ceremony commemorating the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The heartfelt event held in Camas, thousands of miles away from the East Coast where the attacks were focused, is an illustration of the widespread impacts of these events on the United States as a country. Similar ceremonies took place around America yesterday and this morning, from Vancouver to New York City.
