requesting that he either dis-
allow parachute landings on
the property or submit an
application for a conditional-
use permit for the activ-
ity. Alternatively, Skydive
Awesome could apply for the
permit.
Davenport sent the letter
to Lundgren last Friday, not-
ing that City code “allows
Recreation Uses (outdoors)
in the North Sisters Business
Park only with an approved
Conditional Use Permit.”
Skydiving is an outright
permitted use at the airport
itself.
Davenport acknowledged
that the City did not request
a permit application when the
skydiving operation launched
in Sisters.

they were going to land at the
airport where it is allowed.
We should have asked them
where, before approving
the business license. But
they should have asked
us, too — where they can
land.”
Davenport stated in the
letter that “continuing the use
in the NSBP without appro-
priate land use approvals, or
in the Sun Ranch Residential
District under any circum-
stances, is a violation of the
Development Code.”
Such violations carry the
possibility of “fines and other
penalties.”
However, the letter notes
that “the City finds that most
violations are the result of
unfamiliarity with the require-
ments of property owners
under the Development Code.
In the vast majority of cases,
property owners correct the
situation without the need
for formal code-enforcement
action.”

PARKDALE (AP) —
Authorities say the bodies of
two missing Kentucky men
have been found near a trail
in Mt. Hood National Forest.
The Hood River County
Sheriff’s Office said in a
news release that two bodies
were discovered Thursday off
the Dog River Trail.
Investigators determined
the bodies were those of
John Kevin Wood and his
son, Jason Anthony Wood.
Oregon State Police opened a
missing person investigation
for the men after their vehi-
cle was found north of the
trailhead in September 2014.
The Oregonian/OregonLive
reports they were ages 59 and
32, respectively, at that time.
U.S. Forest Service work-
ers in the area conducting a
survey discovered the bodies.
The investigation is ongo-
ing but the sheriff’s office
says evidence at the scene
indicates the men died as a
result of a murder-suicide.

SALEM (AP) — A state

a fine of $2,500 for the head
of the University of Oregon’s

edly releasing a student’s
counseling records to the uni-

board also said Shelly Kerr
