14 community news october9 2012 School Demolition The Vernonia Logger Dome, home to many great memories for students, parents, teachers and school staff, is finally being demolished. The entire school campus will be removed this fall and next spring, making way for a new city park with soccer fields, a new baseball field and other public spaces. The play shed will remain as part of the new park. Mild fall weather should al- lowed the demolition work to continue for at least a few more weeks.
