The Daily Astorian
Clatsop Community Col-
lege’s Arts & Experience Din-
ner and Auction at the end of
April will try to fund both schol-
arships and several equipment
upgrades.
The auction, which raised
more than $100,000 last year,
helps provide the money the col-
lege’s foundation uses to offer
annual scholarships.
The April 30 event, held
at the Astoria Golf & Country
Club, includes dinner and live
and silent auctions, with any-
thing from a trip with a Colum-
bia River bar pilot, glider rides
and farm tours and dinners to
paintings, photographs and
other pieces by local artisans.
Special appeals
This year’s special appeals
focus on equipment for the col-
lege’s career-technical programs
and the Royal Nebeker Art Gallery.

BURNS — The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
will spend roughly $4 mil-
lion to clean, repair and
upgrade the Oregon wild-
life refuge that was the site
of a 41-day armed occupa-
tion by ranchers earlier this
year.
Fish and Wildlife Direc-
tor Dan Ashe said he wants
the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge in Burns
to become a symbol to the
rest of the country that col-
laboration, not confronta-
tion, endures, The Orego-
nian reported. Department
of the Interior Secretary
Sally Jewell made similar
statements during her visit
employees out of town for
safety to live at govern-
ment expense in hotels for
weeks, Ashe said.
Fish biologist Linda
Beck said she’s glad to be
back at work, but the big-
gest cost of the standoff
was missed work. Beck and
a team of biologists were
planning to remove inva-
sive carp by commercial
fishing because the fish
consume habitat needed
by birds. At the beginning
of the year, Malheur Lake
covered about 3,000 acres.
It has since grown to about
20,000 acres.
“We lost the opportu-
nity to fish for these fish
in a really condensed set-
ting,” Beck said.

Photos of the refuge
shared by federal offi-

ers left a mess inside the
building.
The compound is under-
going a giant spring clean-
ing, with the use of indus-
trial vacuums and cargo
trailers filled with cleaning
supplies. Repairing dam-
age and removing debris is
expected to take until early
summer.
