HR Schools Narrow Superintendent Field To Two

Posted on by mbailey

The Hood River County School District Board of Directors has selected two finalists for its Superintendent position, including Bill Newton, who is currently filling the seat on an interim basis.  Newton stepped into the role this past summer when Rich Polkinghorn resigned to become Superintendent of the White Salmon Valley School District.  Prior to that, he had been the district’s executive director of curriculum and instruction since 2020.  The other finalist is Meagan Dawson, who has been the principal of Kulshan Middle School in Bellingham since 2015.  The district will hold a candidate forum on April 4 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Hood River Valley High School’s Bowe Theatre.

The Dalles Skate Park Lights Up

Posted on by mbailey

The Dalles Skate Park now has lights.  Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation District put in the concrete bases about a month ago, and the lights were operational late last week.  District Executive Director Scott Baker says the new lights will improve the facility while not disturbing the adjacent neighborhood.  The pump track, skate bowl, and street side are all lit well enough to ride, but they’ve shielded the lights so it is dark a few feet away.  Baker said it didn’t take long for the lights to get use, noting a birthday party was held there the night the lights were ready for operation.

Still Time To Apply For The Dalles Sidewalk Rehab Cost-Share Program

Posted on by mbailey

The Dalles Public Works says there is still time to apply for the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Cost-Share Program.  The City will consider applications for the rehabilitation or replacement of existing residential or commercial sidewalks as well as new sidewalks as part of a commercial redevelopment project.  City Manager Dave Anderson says the purpose of the program is to help property owners rehabilitate deteriorated sidewalks that are their responsibility.  He says there are some common reasons for sidewalks deteriorating, but time is a big factor.  Applications for the program are received on a first come, first served basis.  To download an application and to review eligibility requirements, go to thedalles.org or call (541) 296-5401.

 

Wasco Commission Calls For “Non-Substantive” Edits To Code Compliance

Posted on by mbailey

Wasco County Commissioners directed planning staff to make non-substantive edits to proposed revisions to the County’s code compliance ordinance, remove any items that are optional under state law, and bring it back to them for hearings.  The County has been looking to streamline the ordinance to deal with some long-running public nuisance cases…but faced backlash at a hearing one month ago as some citizens felt that as written the ordinance could infringe on standard ways of life in rural areas.  Commissioner Scott Hege showed a picture at Wednesday’s meeting of a property littered with old motor homes and debris as an example of what they want to clean up.  Hege and Phil Brady voted for the direction given to staff, which will extend the process to the end of the year.  Steve Kramer voted against it, preferring to stick with the current draft while removing optional additions, saying this pushes out dealing with the most egregious situations for another year.

HR County Taking Applications For District 4 Seat

Posted on by mbailey

Hood River County is accepting applications for the currently vacant District 4 seat on the County Commission.  Commissioners decided to expedite the process to make a selection by April 15 to fill out the remaining nine months of the term of Les Perkins, who stepped down in February to take a seat on the Oregon Public Utility Commission.  There was some discussion of waiting until the results of the May 21 primary election that has three candidates for the position to see if someone gets a majority to avoid a run-off in November.  But Commissioner Arthur Babitz pointed out District 4 residents should have representation on the panel as soon as possible.  District 4 represents the Upper Hood River Valley and the Cascade Locks area.

History Museum Seeks Help To Move Collection

Posted on by mbailey

The History Museum of Hood River County says it needs to move 1500 objects from its collection that are stored off-site due to the sale of its previous storage location.  The Hood River County Heritage Council, which manages the museum, has secured new space at a building owned by the Port of Hood River which will allow the museum will be able to house all the items not currently on display in the new facility, and greatly improve the conditions of the collection in the process.  It should also alleviate overcrowding at the museum, freeing up space for programs and educational activities.  But the move is also a large and unexpected expense.  The museum is seeking financial assistance and volunteers to help pack or move.  Donations are being accepted at hoodriverhistorymuseum.org, at the museum in Port Marina Park, or by e-mail at info@hoodriverhistorymuseum.org.
