The closure of Trevitt Street in The Dalles on Monday will include the streets of Garrison and Pentland between 10th and 11th, and the alley ways from Trevitt to Pentland. That as work continues on the replacement of the sewer and storm main lines on Trevitt between 9th and 12th. Crestline Construction, which is doing the work under a contract with The Dalles Public Works Department, is issuing a reminder that there is no parking in the road closure areas. The throughway intersections of 10th, 11th, 12th, and Trevitt streets will be open. Motorists are asked to use instructed alternate detour routes for local access and to reach Sorosis Park or Colonel Wright Elementary School as construction work continues.
The Dalles Public Works Department is preparing its equipment to respond to winter storm events, but its resources will be stretched to capacity once the snows begin, so the department is asking for the public’s help. Citizens will be asked to shovel and/or sand sidewalks adjacent to their homes or businesses. They ask for safe passage to be cleared within the first two hours of daylight each day. Shoveled snow must be piled on private property, not on the street, except in the downtown area. Then help a neighbor clear the sidewalk in front of their home. Snow that has accumulated on cars that are parked on city streets should be removed so that City plow operators will see the parked cars. You can call a contractor or contact a volunteer organization before the snow flies if you need help with snow removal. For more snow response information and a flyer about safe sidewalks and snow shoveling safety go to thedalles.org or call Public Works at (541) 296-5401.
The Festival of Trees is back Friday night at The Dalles Civic Auditorium. The auction of specially decorated trees benefits the Mid-Columbia Health Foundation.

Tickets are $20, and can be purchased at the door Friday evening at 6 p.m., with the auction beginning at 7 p.m. It is a 21 and over event. On Saturday, there will be a Community Day Open House to give the public as chance to view the trees before they are delivered to auction winners. That will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Civic.
The Hood River Holidays celebration will take place this evening in the downtown area. Hannah Settje of Visit Hood River says people can browse the static parade floats and window displays beginning at 5:30.

Mt. Hood Meadows says it received 22 inches of new snow in a 24 hour time frame that ended at 11:30 Wednesday morning, and it was still snowing hard. Base area snow depth has increased to over 50 inches, as the resort has received over 42 inches of snow since Sunday evening. Meadows opened for the season on Tuesday with three lifts, and will add Mt. Hood Express to its lift schedule on Thursday. The Mt. Hood Express lift services North and South Canyon trails as well as Ridge Run which accesses the Bowls. All of that terrain is expected to be open. Meadows will groom runs but the forecast has up to another foot and a half tonight into tomorrow. Meadows officials are reminding skiers that it is still November so early season conditions exist and you need to watch out for unmarked obstacles. Powder seekers should follow deep snow safety precautions – definitely ride with a buddy and keep them in sight. If you’re taking lines through the trees avoid the tree wells – and carry a probe, shovel and even consider a beacon.

Klickitat County will conduct the approval process for its 2023 budget during December. County Commissioner Dan Christopher says they actually wrapped up work on it about a month ago, adding the County is doing much better than in previous years, after some cuts and changes the last couple of years. Christopher added they received a million dollars more in sales tax this past year over previous years. Christopher says citizens shouldn’t notice any difference in service levels as a result of this year’s budget.
