A6 Hood River News, Wednesday, March 11, 2015 P ANE E VENT Custom Skylight of Portland installs 150-pound 4-by-5 panes Monday on the skylight atop the new public re- stroom at Third and State. The facility is scheduled to open by April 10, ac- cording to city manager Steve Wheel- er, and is the last major piece of the 2013-15 State Street Urban Renewal project. It includes a covered meeting area and a heated interior, and will be the designated bike hub location for Hood River, with bike racks as well as a space for forthcoming pub- lic art. Some revisions to concrete work must also be completed, ac- cording to project manager Gary Lin- demyer of the City of Hood River. The restrooms will be the first ADA amenities in downtown Hood River. Currently the only public facility is a single unisex restroom located on the ground floor of City Hall. GO! Local Business Plan Competition planned Launching or growing a sustainable business in the Gorge? Gorge Owned (GO!) is pleased to introduce the first GO! Local Business Plan Com- petition in conjunction with its annual Earth Day event. Both start-ups and existing businesses in the Gorge are invited to apply. Because this is a social impact business plan competition, GO! is seek- ing entrepreneurs and busi- nesses that have a triple-bot- tom-line mission that includes care for the planet, care for people, and economic viabili- ty. Although all scales of busi- nesses are welcome to apply, “The Big 5: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about Learning to Read,” will be held March 10 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Hood River Hotel.

For more infor mation, email columbiagorge@de- codingdyslexia.org. About Cheryl Anthony: they are especially seeking en- tries from businesses that gross less than $250,000/year in revenues. A committee of local busi- ness experts will review all submitted business plans and choose up to five entries to present their idea in-per- son at the Gorge Owned Earth Day event to be held on April 22 (details of Earth Day are still in preparation). Short pitches will be made to the audience of the business concept and efforts being made towards sustainability. Based on those live pitches, the audience will pick the top three candidates through a simple paper vote. The win- ning candidates will then be eligible to apply for a busi- ness loan up to $5,000 through our partners at the Kiva Zip program, a not-for- profit micro enterprise lend- ing program. More informa- tion on the competition can be found at www.gorge- owned.org. Interested entrepreneurs and businesses should apply through an online form online (address above). The deadline to apply is April 3, 2015. The top five candidates will be in- formed by April 13 if they have been selected to give a live 3-5 minute pitch on Earth Day. The Earth Day festivities will include the annual Tod J. LeFevre Sustainability Awards and the GO! Local Business Plan pitches, with an after-party at The Pint Shack who is generously do- nating their space for later that evening. Since 2000, Earth Day in the Gorge has been hosted by Columbia Gorge Earth Cen- ter (CGEC), which merged with Gorge Owned (GO!) in 2013. GO! is a member-sup- ported organization with a mission to strengthen con- nections between people, ecology and economy to build a healthy community in the Columbia Gorge.
