Cat survives 70-foot jump off Washington bridge

Longview veterinarian A. Russell Moore

KELSO, Wash A high-flying cat is banged up after jumping off the Allen Street Bridge but should make a full recovery thanks to several local veterinarians who have donated their services.

A distraught woman called the Humane Society of Cowlitz County on June 3 to report she was driving across the Allen Street Bridge and saw a cat crawl out of the engine compartment of the truck ahead of her. The cat dashed through traffic, disappeared beneath a car, re-emerged and leapt off the bridge, HSCC Officer Rich Falk said Thursday.

"They were horrified," Falk said of the woman, who was with her two young daughters.

The woman drove around and under the bridge, found the cat beneath a car in the Kelso City Hall parking lot and called the Humane Society. Falk retrieved the animal, which he said was "just a loving cat, and it was having a horrible day."

"She was somebody's pet," he continued. "She's a very, very good cat ... Doesn't have a mean bone in her body."

The cat had fallen roughly 70 feet, said Rick Johnson, executive director of the Humane Society of Cowlitz County.

"I'm surprised she survived the fall," Johnson said. "She landed probably the best way she could, considering."

A vet gave the cat pain medication and sent her home for the night with a foster family. That night, the cat miscarried a litter of kittens, Johnson said.

The next day at Lower Columbia Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Tammy White diagnosed and treated the cat for a broken palate (the top of the mouth), injured when cat's head slammed into the pavement.

Dr. Jani Remsburg at Lower Columbia took an X-ray of the cat's leg and determined it was broken. Dr. Russell Moore at Ocean Beach Animal Hospital set the leg and cast. Dr. Stacey Martzall spayed the cat at the Humane Society facility.

All the veterinarians donated their work, Johnson said.

"It's just one of those interesting stories where everyone agreed to help out," he said.

Despite the kitty's ordeal, "she's in remarkably good humor," Johnson said.

The tabby cat is about 3 years old and will stay with a foster family until she's healed and ready for adoption.

And what is the cat called?

Johnson he hadn't thought of that until asked but decided she needed a "flying name" to honor her adventure. Famed American aviatrix Amelia Earhart popped to mind, and the matter was settled.

"Amelia," he said. "We're calling her Amelia."

JOKE: Farmer Jones lives with his tame bear

Farmer Jones lives with his tame bear in the remote country with only dirt access roads. His bear had been naughty that day so he put him in the barn and said "You stay here until you learn how to behave yourself."

Shortly afterwards it begin to rain (a real heavy downpour). About an hour later a traveling salesman got stuck in the mud and asked the farmer for a place to stay.

The farmer told him he didn't have room in the house, however he could stay in the barn. He told the salesman there were no lights in the barn and his tame bear was in the barn. The farmer said the bear would not bother him. The salesman went to the barn.

Later another traveling salesman got stuck in the mud and the Farmer told him about the barn-no lights and the tame bear. The salesmen left for the barn.

One hour later a woman got stuck in the mud and approached the Farmer. He told her about the barn and mentioned the two travelling salesmen (he was so concerned about the salesmen he forgot to mention the bear).

The woman said, "I can take care of myself." and left for the barn.

Two hours later the farmer was awakened by heavy knocking at the door. When opening the door the woman was standing there with her clothes torn and rumpled. The farmer said, "Good heavens what happened to you?"

The woman replied, "I give up on human nature, the first guy gave me forty dollars, the second guy gave me fifty dollars, but that cheap bastard in the fur coat never even said thanks."

Deaf Jazz singer rises above disability

Listening to Mandy Harvey sing, you would never guess that her world went silent more than two years ago, altering the future she'd imagined. "I went to Colorado State University for vocal music education," Harvey said. "And while I was there for the first month or so, I noticed that I was having trouble hearing my teachers." Even a long history of ear infections and surgeries would not foretell the personal tragedy that would follow.

"In a year's time I had gone from being slightly hard of hearing, as I have been all my life, to gone," Harvey said. That's when the depression set in. I locked myself in my dorm room for two weeks solid, and I didn't leave," Harvey said.

The deafness, caused by nerve damage, forced her to drop out of the music education program, and she eventually left school and her hopes of performing behind. That is, until she recorded a song at home for her boyfriend. "And my dad would listen to the recording, he's like that's it, that's it, you have it still," Harvey said. "And so it was like this eureka moment."

That's when Harvey reached out to Cynthia Vaughn, her vocal instructor during high school and college. "I e-mailed her and asked her if I could have a voice lesson again, and I think she might have thought I was crazy," Harvey said. Vaughn invited Harvey to tour her new studio, not knowing what to expect.

"I do know that she walked in the door with a stack of music and I thought 'oh lord, she thinks we're having a singing lesson'," Vaughn said. The pair sat down at the piano, and Vaughn played a five note descending scale, which Harvey sang, perfectly in tune. "I really almost fell off the piano bench," said Vaughn.

Unable to hear her own voice, Harvey now sings by the memory of notes, sight reading and sensation. "Well you get different vibrations, like the deeper ones hit in a different spot and they are thicker," Harvey said. "And then lighter ones you can feel up higher and they kind of tingle. I don't want to be famous, I want to be a person who gives people hope," Harvey said. She has already recorded one jazz CD, and plans to record three more by her 30th birthday, so she can share her music with her future children and grandchildren should she ever lose her ability to perform.
