Businesses and homeowners are required to keep the city’s sidewalks clear, and pile snow on private property, not on the streets. Mark B. Gibson photo Snow removal a city-wide effort The City of The Dalles Public Works Department has been making sure equip- ment is in good repair and has stocked up to prepare our response to winter storm events with snow forcast for the city this week. But City resources will be stretched to capacity now that the snows have begun, and the job of snow removal is too big for city crews to tackle alone, according to a press release from the public works department. You can assist city crews with winter storms by making sure that your following equipment is in good repair and supplies are on hand: • Snow shovel and/or snow blower (with gas). • Cooking spray for the snow shovel, so snow won’t stick to the blade. • A stiff broom to sweep snow off of porches and decks. • Waterproof gloves with a good grip; waterproof boots with good traction. • Pet-friendly, child-safe, salt-free deicer that won’t harm cement surfaces. While City crews are working hard, citizens will be asked to help: • First priority: sand and/ or shovel sidewalks adjacent to homes or businesses. Safe passage should be cleared within the first two hours of daylight each day. Shoveled snow must be piled on private property, not in the street. • Second priority: help a neighbor clear the sidewalk in front of their home. Snow that has accumulated on cars that are parked on city streets should be removed so that City plow operators will see the parked cars. Contractor or volunteer organization can be con- tacted if you need help with snow removal. For more snow response information and a flyer about safe sidewalks and snow shoveling safety, visit thedalles.org/transporta- tion or call the public works office at 541-296-5401. Saturday, January 18 EAGLE WATCH: 10th annual Eagle Watch at The Dalles Dam Visitor Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Watch as bald eagles roost along the Columbia River.

FAMILY MOVIE: Free family movie at Columbia Cinema, 10 a.m., doors open 9:15 a.m. Doors close at 10:10 a.m. or earlier if the maximum of 400 people has already arrived.

ROLLER DERBY: Gorge Roller Derby, game 5 p.m. at Fort Dalles Readiness Center, 402 E. Scenic Drive, The Dalles. Doors open 4 p.m., CARBON AND OXYGEN REVEAL THE DIVINE PLAN #9 The number 8 is a very interesting number in Scripture and in Creation. The last Jewish festival of the year, the 3rd one was a gathering of the last fruits of the growing season. This festival was called Feast of Booths or Ingatherings. The 3rd time human beings will be changed from a carbon based #6 to an oxygen based #8 body will also be the last time. There is no 8th day in the creation week account but there is an 8th “day” or an 8th one thousand year period. The first time we read of the number 8 in relation to the removal of carbon based flesh is in Genesis. If you did not know it all Jewish boys are circum- cised on their 8th day of life. Flesh is removed. At the beginning of the 8th one thousand year period right after the completion of the 1 thousand year Kingdom period here on earth all human beings will be raised and judged. This final event of removing the ways of the “flesh” reflects the cutting away of the flesh from the Jewish male infant on his 8th day. The beginning of this 8th “day” is the beginning of eternity. The number 8 on its side is the scientific symbol of eternity. Death will be no more. 1st Cor. 15, “then comes the end, when the Son delivers up the kingdom to the Father, when He has abolished all rule and authority and power…until all His ene- mies are under His feet…the last enemy to be abolished is death.” 6-8-3 is the numerical symbol that defines the plan of salvation for this dying earth.

State law requires that before a copy of the body camera footage can be disclosed, the footage must be edited in such a manner that the faces of all persons appearing in the recording are un- identifiable. The City Police Department has recently begun having officers in the department wear body cameras. The department re- searched the costs involved in providing redacted copies camera footage, and selected a firm which offers its redac- tion services on a case-by- case basis. The department also reviewed fee schedules from other law enforcement agencies. The new fees are comparable to the fees charged by other law enforce- ment agencies, according to the department. The fees, adopted by the council, include a one-time $25 clerical fee, and a redac- tion fee (to remove recog- nizable faces) up to $100 per hour of video.
