2 Columbia Gorge News Wednesday October 21, 2020 Halloween Haunts HoodRiverNews.com • TheDallesChronicle.com • WhiteSalmonEnterprise.com HR man dies in crash near Parkdale Lyle Halverson of Hood River died in a collision near Parkdale on Oct. 16. At approximately 8 p.m., a Hood River County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant attempted to contact a Suzuki motorcycle southbound on Baseline Road for a traffic violation. The motorcyclist accelerated, turned northbound onto Toll Bridge Road and eluded the sergeant. The sergeant, approxi- mately one minute after the attempted initial contact, came upon the motorcycle crashed on Toll Bridge Road, south of the intersection of Highway 35, according to a press release from Oregon State Police. OSP and emergency per- sonnel responded. OSP is investigating the crash and preliminary investigation revealed that the Suzuki, operated by Halverson, 34, was north- bound on Toll Bridge Road at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a right hand corner, entered the southbound lane and crashed into a Ford F-150 pickup operated by Guy Wertgen, 53, of Parkdale, according to OSP. Halverson sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased. Wertgen was not injured. OSP was assisted by Parkdale Fire and Rescue. Fill Your Pantry returns Fill Your Pantry is back for its sixth year on Nov. 8, with far less of the face-to-face communal aspect to the fall tradition, but with just as much of the bounty. Fill Your Pantry, at Rockford Grange on Barrett Drive southwest of Hood River, provides Gorge resi- dents with a chance to cele- brate the harvest and stock up on storable food products grown by local farmers. Whether your view of Halloween is focused on the colorful haunts of fall, above, or the macabre and even gro- tesque, you will find them both at the corner of E. 10th and Mt. Hood streets in The Dalles, where competing views of the holiday are in extravagant ev- idence. Although many com- munity Halloween events have been canceled, the holiday spir- its remain in evidence through- out the Columbia River Gorge. Be it beans, bratwurst, broccoli, Bosc pears or black- berry honey, the same range of goods will be available. Buyers can shop in bulk for locally grown produce, meats, grains, cheeses, herbs, mushrooms, and more — all while supporting local food businesses and the grange. This year’s market will look a bit different as organizers worked to find a format that can still safely connect the local community with the abundance of locally grown products. The market will be only through online pre-or- ders, through Nov. 1. Pickup will be Nov. 8, noon to 4 p.m. at the Rockford lot.

The city is consider- ing applications for the rehabilitation or replacement of existing sidewalks. The pilot program will focus on sidewalks located in resi- dential areas. Applicants for this program must be the property owner. A City of The Dalles con- tractor will work within city engineering and Americans with Disabilities Act stan- dards. The city will make all arrangements for design, construction, permits and traffic controls. The contrac- tor will be selected through a competitive bidding pro- cess.
