The Combi Dock I, an Antiguan-fl agged load car- rier, entered the Columbia River stacked with nearly 200 wind turbine blades, each 160 feet long, manu- factured by wind energy fi rm Vestas in Taranto, Italy. From the Port of Vancou- ver, Washington, the blades head for the Marengo Wind Project near Dayton, Wash- ington. Pacifi Corp is upgrad- ing its wind turbines to increase renewable energy production. “Projects like the repower- ing of the Marengo Wind Project help keep energy affordable for our customers, while supporting our com- mitment to a healthier envi- ronment and cleaner future,” Alisa Dunlap, Pacifi c Pow- er’s regional business man- ager, said in a news release. “Locally, we are also boost- ing our rural communities by creating new construction jobs and adding to local tax revenues.” The Marengo Wind Proj- ect is part of Pacifi Corp’s Energy Vision 2020 plan to increase wind energy for the company’s 1.9 million cus- tomers by more than 50 per- cent by upgrading existing farms.

WANTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber Northwest Hardwoods • Longview, WA Contact: John Anderson • 360-269-2500 SEASIDE — The Shilo Inn in Seaside owes the city more than $45 ,000 in hotel room taxes. Seaside wants to collect and has fi led suit in Circuit Court . With penalties and interest, the total sought is more than $58,000. According to the com- plaint, Shilo Inn “continues to withhold the payment of these taxes, notwithstanding numerous demands” by the city. The city also seeks rea- sonable attorney’s fees. This isn’t the fi rst time Shilo Inn has fallen behind on taxes. In 2016, Seaside sued the company for delinquent taxes of more than $112,500 . Shilo Inn paid out almost $146,000 in back taxes and penalties. Earlier this year, Warren- ton sued Shilo Inn after more than $130 ,000 in lodging taxes, penalties and accrued interest went unpaid. Representatives of Shilo Inn did not respond to requests for comment.
