Posted on by mbailey

Posted on by mbailey

The Dalles Bridge was closed for about four hours on Monday as officers negotiated with a man threatening to jump off of the bridge.  The incident occurred at approximately 3:15 p.m. Monday.  According to Oregon State Police reports, The Dalles Police Department received a report of a man threatening self-harm.  They located him at the bridge, and the man went over the bridge railing and threatened to jump.  Officers were eventually able to pull the man over the railing to safety.  The OSP says The Dalles Police took the man into custody on an officer hold and transported him to Adventist Health Columbia Gorge to be evaluated by crisis workers.  The OSP added the man was heavily intoxicated.  The Oregon Department of Transportation, Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office, Washington State Patrol, Mid-Columbia Center for Living, and Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue assisted in the incident.

Port of HR Embarking On Strategic Business Plan Process

Posted on by mbailey

The Port of Hood River is embarking on its Strategic Business Plan process, and the focus will be on sustainability after construction of a new Interstate Bridge.  Port Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says ports are required to maintain this kind of plan and update it at least every ten years.  In the case of the Port of Hood River, it’s every five to six years.  Greenwood says assuming the bridge replacement moves forward, much of their focus will be on the Waterfront, and how to generate the revenue necessary to maintain recreational activites.  Other areas will include plans for developing property south of the Marina, and future possibilities for the Ken Jernstedt Airfield.  More information is available at portofhoodriver.com.

Cherry Fest Sees Revenues Down, But Businesses Benefit

Posted on by mbailey

Last month’s Northwest Cherry Festival brought in less revenue and saw expenses increase for The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce, but downtown businesses saw an upturn in their traffic.  The festival had to be revamped and attractions spread throughout the downtown area due to the First Street reconstruction project.  Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson said they had to reduce the number of vendors because of a lack of space, and the move of the carnival to Lewis & Clark Festival Park also led to a drop in revenue.  But at the same time, she says downtown businesses reported they did better than in the past.  And all of that will be considered for next year, when the Festival will have even less space with the Federal Street Plaza expected to be finished, and the First Street renovations continuing.

SAR Advance Life Support Teams Formed

Posted on by mbailey

The Crag Rats, Pacific Northwest Search And Rescue, and Portland Mountain Rescue have formed Search and Rescue Advance Life Support teams.  This skilled group of volunteer paramedics, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, and doctors provide advanced medical care in remote locations where conventional services cannot easily reach.  The Hood River County Health Department say sthe SAR ALS program was started because the American Medical Response Reach and Treat Team, which served the region for 40 years with backcountry paramedics, ceased operation on April 30.  Hood River County Health Officer and SAR Emergency Medical Services Medical Director Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg worked with regional SAR organizations to fill the gap.  Hood River County Sheriff Matt English says the new capabilities are a game changer.  He says the ability to provide advanced medical care in remote locations, not readily accessible by Fire and EMS crews, greatly increases the likelihood of positive outcomes.
