Essential summer reading?
“‘Fever Dream’ by
Samanta Schwe-

novella about a
vacation gone wrong
in Argentina.”
“Joyce Meyer’s ‘Bat-
tlefield of the Mind.’
I’m reading it right
now.”
“‘The Push’ by Tom-
my Caldwell. It’s a
climbing book. It
talks about his life
and climbing and
why he’s passionate
about it. It got me pas-
sionate about it.”

A fast-growing wild-
fire east of The Dalles that
forced evacuations Tuesday
night continued to swell as it
burned overnight.
The Substation Fire
jumped the Deschutes River
near Sayers Road Tues-
day evening, entering Sher-
man County by 10:30 p.m.
By 6 a.m. this morning, the
fire was burning more than
29,000 acres.
Gov. Kate Brown invoked
the Emergency Conflagration
Act, which allows the state
fire marshal to dispatch equip-
ment and firefighters from
around the state. Officials said
today that they will provide
air support to firefighters.
“To ensure the safety of
local residents, and given
the dry and windy conditions
on the ground, I am invok-
ing an emergency declara-
tion to make additional state
resources available to fire-
fighters and first responders,”
Brown said in a statement.
The blaze forced imme-
diate evacuations of an esti-
mated 75 households in
Wasco County. Those evacu-
ations remained in place this
morning.
Wasco County Sheriff’s Office
A grass fire near The Dalles forced evacuations of area
residents.
The U.S. Forest Service
confirmed at least one home
burned, including several sur-
rounding buildings on the
property.
Level 3 or “go now” evac-
uations were ordered for 8
Mile Road at Emerson Loop
Road to Emerson Loop Road
and Company Hollow Road.
The evacuation area also
includes all of Wrentham Mar-
ket, Mason, 15 Mile, McCoy,
Moody, Fulton, Kloan, Free-
bridge and Kelly Cutoff roads
and all points in between.
In Sherman County, Level
1 or “get ready” evacuations
were issued for Grass Val-
ley, Moro and the surround-
ing area.
High winds near the Wasco
County auction yard carried
the blaze as it ignited nearby
grasslands and wheat fields. It
started just south of the Celilo
Converter Station on Highway
197 before it headed east and
jumped the Deschutes River.
A second fire burning near
the fairgrounds in Tygh Val-
ley was put out early Tuesday
evening.
Red Cross opened a shelter
at The Dalles Middle School
starting at 8:30 p.m. for peo-
ple displaced by the fire.
Other shelters have opened
their doors to house animals.
Home at Last Humane Society
in The Dalles will house dis-
placed dogs free of charge and
Fort Dalles Riders Club can
accommodate large livestock.
Astoria-based cutters seize cocaine
The Daily Astorian
Crew onboard the Coast
Guard cutters Steadfast
and Alert seized $260 mil-
lion worth of cocaine during
patrols in the eastern Pacific
Ocean near Central and South
America.
The crew offloaded the
roughly 17,000 pounds of
cocaine Monday in San
Diego. The seizures came
from four smuggling vessels
in late June and mid-July.
More than 11,000 pounds
seized by the Steadfast crew
came from a panga-type
fishing boat. The smugglers
dumped the cocaine and
escaped capture following a
high-speed chase, but the trail
of cocaine bales recovered is
the largest seizure from a sin-
gle vessel in more than two
years.
“First, more than eight
tons of cocaine won’t reach
our streets and add to the
drug-related deaths and health
problems facing our nation,”
Cmdr. Alain Balmaceda, com-
manding officer of the Stead-
fast, said in a statement. “And
second, hundreds of millions
of dollars are being denied to
transnational criminal organi-
zations who spread instability,
death and despair wherever
they operate.”
The Steadfast and Alert,
both 210-foot medium endur-
ance Reliance-class cutters,
are based at the 17th Street
Dock in Astoria.
