Port of HR Delays Wire Rope Replacement On Bridge

Posted on by mbailey

Planned replacement of the wire ropes that operate the liftspan of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge has been delayed due to supply chain issues.  Port of Hood River Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says project contractor Hamilton Construction could not get the materials pulled together in time to get the work done as planned, which would have included a full weekend closure of the bridge.  Greenwood says they will now look to have the work take place in late October.  Greenwood did say the work will be scheduled in a way that will not impact fruit harvest.

Newhouse Put Three Area Projects In Appropriations Requests

Posted on by mbailey

Washington Fourth District Congressman Dan Newhouse announced he has submitted three Mid-Columbia related projects in his Community Project Funding requests to the House Appropriations Committee.  One of those is for replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge, which he notes is near the end of its serviceable life and is vital to the region’s economy, transportation network, and public safety.  A second is for improvements at the Goldendale Municipal Airport, including extension of the runway from 40 to 60 feet.  And a request was made for $5 million to help with the pinniped predation program on the Columbia River to prevent predation of spring Chinook salmon by sea lions.

Potential Record Trout Caught And Released

Posted on by mbailey

A potential record bull trout was caught and released on Lake Billy Chinook on April 8.  The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says Ryan Mejaski amd his fishing companion Joe Wilhite reported to the agency they caught a bull trout that was 33.5 inches in length with a 26-inch girth, but maxed out the scale they had on hand at 25 pounds, and Mejaski suspects it was probably closer to 30 pounds.  After taking photos of the fish, Mejaski and Wilhite released it and watched it swim away.  Mejaski says he is a bit disappointed they didn’t keep it for an official record, but added releasing it was the right thing to do at the time, and they never really thought about keeping it.  The current state record bull trout was caught in 1989 from Lake Billy Chinook and weighed 23 lbs., 2 ounces.  The world record from Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho in 1949 tipped the scales at 32 lbs.  Mejaski said they continued fishing that day and caught a second massive bull trout only slightly smaller than the one they had released.

OHA Approves MCMC/Adventist Transaction

Posted on by mbailey

The Oregon Health Authority has approved Mid-Columbia Medical Center becoming a part of the Adventist Health System with some conditions.  In its decision issued on Thursday, the OHA said the transaction was in the interest of consumers and is urgently necessary to maintain the solvency of MCMC.  In its findings, the OHA noted the recent suspension of medical oncology services at the Celilo Cancer Center and MCMC posting a $10 million operating loss in 2022, and believed there was considerable risk of a further cut in services in the next 12 months.  The OHA says the transaction will substantially improve MCMC’s financial condition.  The conditions placed on the approval include Adventist maintaining existing MCMC services for ten years and continuing referral policies for reproductive health care services, gender affirming care, and Death with Dignity Act services.  The OHA says public comments raised concerns that Adventist Health, a faith-based organization, may restrict access to care those services.  The OHA will assess the impact of the transaction one, two, and five years after the transaction is completed.
