She’s a very friendly cat who loves all of the people who come to visit her at the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society shelter in Washougal. She does well with kids who treat her respectively. She arrived at the shelter with teeth that had not been properly cared for by her previous owners, so they all had to be removed. Her diet needs to be strictly wet and soft food. She would do best in a home with no other cats, but a calm, older dog could be ok. Moe Moe is an 8-year-old Husky. His owners sur- rendered him because they had too many other dogs to take care of them all. He was really shy when he first came to the WCGHS shelter, but he’s starting to come out of his shell. He’s a very friendly dog who gets along well with everyone. Moe is one of the easiest dogs to walk at the shelter, and seems to do well with children. The WCGHS cat shelter, located at 2675 S. Index St., in Washougal, is open for adoptions Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The dog shelter, located right next door, is open daily, from 9 a.m. to noon.

That will take place over the rest of this year. “The dirt berm is about the same height that SR-14 will be once it is raised up and over Second Street,” Russell said. “So once the project is com- plete, the businesses at Second Street won’t have the same visibility they may have had when SR-14 was at ground level. “We will be installing “Motorist Information Signs” [about food/gas/ lodging] on SR-14 as part of this project, so that is one way the businesses can make sure drivers know they are there,” she added. Gunnar Grant, owner of Napa Auto Parts, in Cam- as and Battle Ground, said his local business is surviving with wholesale deliveries. Harry Hajari, an owner of the Best Western Park- ersville Inn & Suites, said the walk-in traffic at the hotel has decreased from 12 to 13 rooms per night to two or three. He said cus- tomers who book rooms ahead of time by phone tend to stay one night and then change their plans. Occupancy rates for February and March have been down 20 percent. Hajari tells customers how to get to the conve- nience store when they want food. “They get lost and scream at us,” he said. “It’s a big mess.” Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Brent Erickson suggested WS- DOT officials meet with local business owners, Washougal and Camas City Council members and the Port of Camas- Washougal Commission. That meeting has not been scheduled. As of Monday afternoon, WSDOT representatives had not heard of the meet- ing request. “No additional meet- ings are planned at this time,” Chris Tams, Co- lumbia Gorge area engi- neer for WSDOT, said by phone. “We’re going to put up signs, saying the [Sec- ond Street] businesses are open.” The orange and black signs will be located along the frontage roads. Tams met with city of Washougal representa- tives and business owners in July 2011, at Quizno’s. Russell said it has been about a decade that WS- DOT has been planning the project. “We know this project is impacting businesses and drivers,” she said. “What we’ve heard from the com- munity is to get in and out as quickly as possible. “We’ve been aware of the concerns,” Russell added. “It’s impossible to provide these types of safety improvements with- out impacting residents, businesses and drivers. Everyone who relies on this transportation system is going to be impacted di- rectly or indirectly. We do our best to minimize these impacts, but we can’t avoid them.” For more information, visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Projects/SR14/Camas- Washougal.
