The Port of Hood River Commission is going out to get bids on a project to expand the north ramp of the Ken Jernstedt Airfield and installing utilities that received a state transportation grant of $1.4 million over three years ago, but whether it actually happens depends on how those bids come out.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says in the time it has taken to get permits to do work, the cost of a significant wetland rehabilitation that would have to be done has increased enough where the original grant would not be enough to do the project.  McElwee says they would need close to a million dollars more to complete it, so what the bids look like will determine if they move forward.  McElwee says they hope to have bids back in December so the Port Commission can make a final decision.   

North Wasco County School District 21’s latest long range facilities meeting on Tuesday featured break out groups taking educational adequacy and facility assessment data to develop priorities, and then they were all brought together to explain their choices.  Superintendent Candy Armstrong says representatives of BLRB Architects are going to take those viewpoints to develop a proposal, and bring that back for another meeting next month.  If the December meeting doesn’t get the plan done, Armstrong said they would schedule one more in January.  The next meeting will be on December 10.

Signups for the Hood River County Christmas Project will get underway on Thursday.  Once again the project will provide Christmas food boxes for Hood River County families who meet the state of Oregon’s low income eligibility standards.  But project coordinator Bruce Holmson says this year they are not going to require paperwork to sign up.  Instead, when a family comes to a sign-up location they will have a conversation with them and go from there.  Registration sessions will take place throughout Hood River County in November and early December.  For a complete schedule go to hoodrivercountychristmasproject.com.

 A 38-year-old Parkdale man was arrested by the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office and charged in the stabbing of his brother.  The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says Leif Andrew Sorensen was arrested and lodged at NORCOR on charges of first degree assault and attempted murder.  The Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to the 5600 block of Trout Creek Ridge Road after receiving a 9-1-1 call from 35-year-old Hans Severinsen, who reported being stabbed in the chest by his brother.  Sorensen was located about one mile away and taken into custody without incident.  The Sheriff’s Office says Severinsen was transported by LifeFlight to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, where is listed in critical condition.  Sorensen made an initial court appearance in Hood River County Circuit Court on Monday morning, with bail set at $100,000 and another court appearance scheduled for November 19.
