Bells will ring Friday at noon throughout Hood River County, one ring for each County resident who has died from COVID-19. Belinda Ballah of the Hood River County Prevention Department says the church, park, and agency bells will ring in Hood River, Parkdale, and Cascade Locks to take a moment to reflect on those deaths, offer sympathy to family and friends that have lost a loved one, and “contemplate what can we do in a stressful, hard time to continue to keep our community as safe and healthy as possible.” Ballah adds the bell ringing is planned to take place on a weekly basis.
