HOOD RIVER FIRE DEPARTMENT honors Horizon Christian School staff in October for their quick response and
teamwork in administering basic life support to teacher Jim Brown in September 2014. Chief Devon Wells, left
and his senior staff surprised the Horizon faculty with a visit to thank them for knowing life-support techniques
and how to work together to save a life. With Wells, from left, are principal Faith Kempf, teacher Ray Kempf, Su-
perintendent Ken Block, and teacher Oscar Stenberg III, who were instrumental in providing aid as well as sup-
port to the staff and students during the medical incident. Wells said, “You are an example of what I want to
see happen in all our government offices, and businesses, and schools, to be able to perform life-saving skills
when you’re asked to, and you never know when you’re going to be asked to.”

CASCADE LOCKS SCULPTOR Heather Soderberg-Green unveils the statue of Paul Durham
at Linfield College in McMinnville in October. Soderberg-Green was commissioned by fami-
ly members and college representatives to design and cast the work honoring the long-time
football coach. The statue stands near the football complex where Durham led the team in
the 1940s through ‘60s.
THE LOWER CASCADE/INDUSTRIAL WAY neighborhood went through some subtle
changes in 2014, with the completion of Full Sail Brewery’s expansion and addition of an
outdoor meeting space at Fourth and Cascade, next to the city park known as Cannery
Square Park. The pocket park had been overgrown and neglected in recent years, but in
summer 2014 the city repaired the benches, planted an ornamental pear tree, and revived
the planting area. Meanwhile, Full Sail employees removed blackberries from the north side
of the park, where a stairway leads down to Industrial Way. There, developer Pasquale
Barone is gradually transforming Union Building (in background) into offices and a planned
set of condominiums.

dated in August to honor her husband, Robert, who died in
January 2014.
