The program ended with a skating safety and etiquette presenta- tion. Below, teacher Michelle Yamamoto takes a freshly painted skateboard from Braulio Robledo. Students designed and painted the skateboards over the course of three classes, then Yamamoto and Jacob Weill applied a varnish and attached grip-tape, wheels and trucks to complete the boards. Walker Sacon photos Skateboards connect kids with artistic expression Sacon ■ By The Walker Dalles Chronicle It’s a typical Saturday afternoon at The Dalles-Wasco County Library. A group of Girl Scouts meets as people play chess and work at computer stations. Upstairs, in the Teen Wing, some study quietly while the roar of engines from a racing video game fill the air. One girl learns the basics of 3D printing from a library staffer — they’re struggling to keep the machine warm enough to print properly. In the meet- ing room on the first floor, Michelle Yamamoto “lassos” kids back to their stations in an effort to keep her “skateboard art” class on schedule. Working over the course of three Saturday sessions, the class allowed students to design a skateboard deck— from a blank deck and pencil sketch—to a working board complete with art and wheels. During the final class, Yamamoto helped finish the boards with grip-tape and varnish before handing them off to Jacob Weill, who showed students how to attach wheels and trucks. Weill was re- cruited by his wife Mary Pastrana, the program- ming director for The Dalles-Wasco County Library. Weill said he had skated enough to learn the basics. “Enough to sprain an ankle trying flip tricks,” Weill said. Yamamoto, a former competitive skateboarder who now teaches art privately and at Hood River’s Wildwood Academy, said the uniqueness of “skateboard art” gets kids in- volved, whether or not they’re particularly interested in skateboarding. Inspiration for students’ boards included movies and TV shows, bands, pets, family members and bees. Ekylah Sutton-Lott said she has always liked bees and that her hive-and-garden themed board was not the first piece of her art they had inspired. “They’re actually really inter- esting,” said Xander Neely as he buzzed between working on his deck and trading snacks with big-brother Westley. Yamamoto once again herded Xander back to his station and asked him to focus so he could be sure his board would be ready for finishing next week. He gets back to work painting the faces of char- acters from the manga “Inuyasha” as a few classmates start brain- storming some new and exotic See ART, page A4 Oregon health officials are tak- ing emergency steps to confront the spread of the novel corona- virus in the state as new cases emerged over the weekend. Testing is focused on deter- mining the extent of the outbreak across Oregon and who is most at risk, according to Pat Allen, director of the Oregon Health Authority. See EMERGENCY, page A5 State issues guidelines Oregon health officials have rec- ommended taking steps to prevent infection and keep schools open, according to guidelines published by the Oregon Health Authority. Public health experts at the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and education officials with the Oregon Department of Education and the Higher Education Coordinating Commission issued guidance and best practices from public health experts to schools, colleges and universities for deci- sion-making concerning the novel coronavirus in Oregon on Sunday, March 8. At this time, the guidance recommends against closing schools and campuses where no cases of COVID-19 are present. It also recommends that schools, colleges and universities consider all alternatives before closing a school, college or university in the event that a COVID-19 case is detected among students or staff.

Gibson photo A2 A3 A7 Comics Marketplace Sports SALEM—While new infection cases emerge in Oregon, state officials say they need an addition- al $1.5 million to trace contacts of those found infected with the novel coronavirus and more staff- ing, according to state documents obtained Friday. They also say they need an estimated $2.5 million to help local health departments across Oregon prepare for the COVID-19 outbreak and reimburse school districts for the extra costs of sani- tizing schools. Those needs are part of a re- quest made this week by Gov. Kate Brown in a letter to Vice President Mike Pence outlining Oregon’s need for up to $10 million per month in federal help. Brown also is asking the State Emergency Board for another $5 See FUNDING, page A5 A8 A9 A10
