The Dalles Council To Receive Dog Ordinance In June

Posted on by mbailey

The Dalles City Council will be getting a new ordinance dealing with dog control at a meeting in June.  Councilors discussed the subject at their meeting last week.  One area will involve starting to enforce the City’s dog licensing requirements.  Mayor Rich Mays says there are only somewhere between ten to twenty dogs licensed in The Dalles right now.  Mays says one of the reasons they are going through the ordinance now is the amount of animals at the Columbia Gorge Humane Society shelter.  Another part of the ordinance that will go to the Council will be a leash requirement.

Cherry Fest Weekend Coming Up

Posted on by mbailey

The countdown is on to this weekend’s Northwest Cherry Festival in The Dalles.  The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Lisa Farquharson says they wrapped up taking entries for the parade over the weekend.  Farquharson says this year’s parade will be a bit smaller, with 85 to 90 entries for the Saturday march through town.  She notes they had put a cap on entries this year at 100 at the request from The Dalles Police Department, because the parade had become so long it was blocking emergency routes at the same time.  The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on its usual route.  This year’s Grand Marshal is orchardist Mel Omeg.  King and Queen Bing are former OSU Wasco County Extension Agent Lynn Long and his wife Marlene.

Indictments In Hood River Death

Posted on by mbailey

Three suspects in the death of a Hood River man on April 11 were indicted by a Grand Jury on Friday.  Hood River County District Attorney Matt Ellis says 31-year-old Johnathan Matthews, 36-year-old William Hardy, Jr., and 41-year-old Elizabeth Bowman all face second degree murder, first degree theft and robbery, and unauthorized use of a weapon charges in the death of 38-year-old Stephen Hayes, with Matthews also indicted on manslaughter, reckless driving, and reckless endangering charges.  Ellis says Matthews allegedly stole a pickup truck from Jacobs Sanitation in The Dalles, picked up Hardy and Bowman, and drove to Hood River, where Hardy attempted to steal Hayes’ bike and put it in the pickup.  That was witnessed by Hayes’ partner, and Hayes went outside to confront the thieves, grabbing the passenger side of the truck while Matthews tried to drive away from the scene, speeding and swerving, dragging Hayes, throwing him to the ground, and running him over.  Ellis says the three defendants then drove to Post Canyon, where they stayed overnight.  Hardy and Bowman were arrested the next day, while Matthews was arrested Tuesday.  All three are in custody and scheduled at various times to be arraigned this week.

Wasco County Submits Letter On Issues To Address For Solar Plan

Posted on by mbailey

Wasco County Commissioners are submitting a letter outlining issues they feel need to be addressed when an application is submitted to the Oregon Department of Energy for the proposed Deschutes Solar and Battery Energy Storage System Facility.  The facility proposed by Brightnight LLC is about ten miles southwest of Maupin.  County Planning Division Director Daniel Daugherty told the Commission this solar project is a bit different than others proposed in the region because of its proximity to the White River and Pine Grove areas.  The County says in its letter that if the Land Use and Fish and Wildlife Habitat studies for the project do not incorporate all of the Pine Grove and White River Natural areas, they should be expanded to do so.
