Two men pleaded not
guilty to charges in con-
nection with the death of
a Silverton woman that
occurred in November.
A Multnomah County
grand jury indicted Joel
Foran, 50, and Brandon
Rossow, 37, Wednesday
for their alleged involve-
ment in the death of Au-
briel Leann Haskett, 24,
after authorities found
her body off a roadway
east of Troutdale.
On Nov. 2, Multnomah
County deputies got a call
about a person in the
31400 block of NE Mer-
shon Road. Investigators
found Haskett off the
roadway down an em-
bankment.
Investigators believe
her body was dumped in
the embankment by Fo-
ran and Rossow after she
died at another location.
Foran was taken to the
Multnomah County Jail
on Nov. 12. Rossow was
booked on Dec. 3.
Foran is charged with
second-degree abuse of a
corpse, 20 counts of ag-
gravated identity theft,
felony computer crime,
tampering with physical
evidence, criminal im-
personation and unlaw-
ful possession of meth-
amphetamine.
Rossow is charged
with
second-degree
abuse of a corpse.

“You can apply for

Nicholas said. “That’s
where the funding to po-
tentially bury their power

takes time to get funding

to check for leaks.
“They are finding

that’s going to take a few
days until we find all the
leaks. They are going as
fast as they can.”
Once all the leaks are
found and fixed, the pipes

Slow going for some
relief
Weeks after many of
the homes burned down,
property owners received
yearly property tax bills,
even though their homes
were gone or they
couldn’t live in them.
The county commis-
sioners have proposed to
waive that for a year, but
that would require a
change in state law.
“We actually asked
Senator Fred Girod to put
a bill in for that,” Marion
County
Commissioner
Colm Willis said. “Our
proposal is if your house
burned
down,
you
shouldn’t have to pay
your property tax for a
year.”
The speed limit on
Highway 22 between
Gates and Pamelia Creek
is still limited to 40 miles
per hour.
There are ongoing
work zones where crews
are forced to replace
wooden posts that hold
up guardrails alongside
highways.

trees were removed along
a 40-mile stretch of High-
way 22 so it could be re-
opened, and more still
need to be removed.
Some Marion County
parks were wiped out by
wildfire.
Nicholas said the
county is eligible for
FEMA money to aid in the
rebuilding of those parks.
And he hopes they will be
open next summer.
“We’re probably going
to redevelop that in a
clean slate,” he said.
Some
cities
have
themes among buildings
in their central business
district, and Detroit is
looking into having one.
Few businesses, such
as Mountain High Groce-
ry, remain, and the ones
that do remain will need
extensive restoration due
to the smoke damage.
“We have a committee
looking at a theme for our
town,” Trett said. “Busi-
nesses have an opportu-
nity to tie that into
theme.”
A group of business
leaders in the Santiam
Canyon have pledged to
help build a new city hall
in Detroit to replace the
one the wildfire de-
stroyed.
“I know Rich Duncan’s
leading a group who are
working on building a
new city hall at the old
high school,” Cameron
said. “There’s a lot of ma-
terials being donated for
that.”
A fresh start for
Detroit
Detroit has survived a
lot over the years, from
the city being moved in
the early 1950s to make
way for Detroit Dam and
the lake that filled behind
it.
How the city is going to
survive this challenge is
anyone’s guess.
“After the logging quit,
which was a bunch of bull
and I fell timber for 30
years, then after that,
why the only thing left to
make Detroit a town was
the tourism,” Loren Clark
said. “But what’s going to
happen now?”
Like many residents,
the Clarks have been
clearing the remains of
their home with friends.
Detroit has been home
for the couple for decades
and returning is their
only option.
“My home’s gone,”
Phyllis Clark said, “but I
still live here,”
