THE
P orch
News Kids Campaign winner donates to dog shelter
A Dog in their four year sub-
scription-selling dynasty. Ac-
cording to Judy Dutcher, Adopt
A Dog board president, the shel-
ter lets the kids name a dog each
year in celebration of the dona-
tion.
The Trumbulls are dog lovers,
with two of their own at home.
Caleb described himself as a
competitive person. He’s in-
volved in football, lacrosse and
mountain biking at Hood River
Middle School. In March, he took
first place in the Red 2 Red biking
competition in Echo. His divi-
sion was ages 10 to 14 but his
time also outstripped competi-
tors in the 15 to 19 division.
As an eighth grader next year,
Caleb will have his last chance to
compete in the Kids Campaign
again, before he moves past the
age cutoff.
However, Caleb will be able to
channel his competitive spirit
into high school athletics. “I’m
pretty excited to go into high
school,” said Caleb.

From the Chamber: The first annual Blossom
Time window decorating contest is here! Judging
will take place April 10, and to qualify, the theme of
blossoms or springtime must be represented. All
member businesses are invited to compete, and the
winner will receive $500, courtesy of the Chamber.
(We look forward to the return, in 2016, of the sec-
ond annual contest.)
SCENE and Heard: A woman parks against traf-
fic next to a “No Parking This Side of Street” sign,
runs around the back of the house while holding a
shoe in each hand … “Garage Sale” signs illegally
attached to utility and street poles … A young
woman pushes a stroller with two kids in it, singing
as she goes, “I wanna be like you-ooh-hoo …” (Is
Louis Prima making a comeback? Or is “Jungle
Book” (1967!) one of her kids’ favorite DVDs?)

SATURDAY MORNING ECLIPSE
This is an important – can we say “skymark?” —
lunar eclipse weekend, and our astronomer friends
Paul and Diana Kuiper of
Wasco County sent along
this: “The lunar eclipse
is expected to occur in
the western sky short-
ly before dawn. It is
one four eclipses in
the space of a year
(April 15 and Oct. 7 in
2014, and another on Sept.
28, 2015); such a close group-
ing of eclipses is a rare event in celestial mechanics
and often coincides with major events in world his-
tory.” Paul Kuiper took a series of 0hotos over a
two-hour period Aprll 14, 2014, on a simple digital
camera. Paul will present an astronomy class
through Community Education running June 6
through July 7 – find it on page 5 of the new catalog,
or go to hrcommunityed.org.
According to CNN: Starting at 3:16 a.m. Pacific
Daylight Time, the moon will begin moving into
Earth’s shadow. For the next hour and 45 minutes,
that shadow will move across the moon and engulf
it at 4:58 a.m. Pacific Time.
For Caleb Trumbull, victory
and charity are a combined mis-
sion. When the seventh grader
took first place in the Hood River
News Kids Campaign in March,
he made a point to donate half
his winnings to the local animal
shelter, Hood River Adopt A Dog.
Combined with $217 in contri-
butions he gleaned from the
Hood River Rotary Club Thurs-
day, Trumbull has donated a total
of $1,167 to the shelter.
The family tradition of com-
peting in the Kids Campaign and
then donating half the winnings
be g an four years a go with
Caleb’s sister, Lauren, when she
was in 6th grade.
“She kind of passed the imagi-
nary baton,” said Caleb.

us continue our growth and
strengthen the many long
ter m relationships we’ve
built with our friends in the
Cascade Locks community,”
said Bear Mountain chair-
man Bob Sourek.
The companies buy Dou-
glas Fir and Western Red
Cedar
sawdust
from
sawmills across Oregon and
Washington, then transform
them into usable products,
distributed around the na-
tion.
“The expansion opportu-
nity with Bear Mountain is a
great step forward for this
community,” said Port Com-
mission President Jess
Groves. “The deal says a lot
about the value of working
together to help existing
businesses expand.”
The Port will hold dollars
from the property deal in a
development fund, created in
the Port’s 2014-15 budget, for
the purpose of developing in-
frastructure to make adja-
cent proper ties “shovel
ready” for business develop-
ment.
The Port is budgeting for
an immediate investment of
$1.2 million to build ade-
quately sized water, sewer
and power lines into the
business park.
The Port is also negotiat-
ing with three other busi-
nesses for properties in the
business park, ranging from
three to 25 acres in size.
One of the businesses is
Puff Factory, which is inter-
ested in purchasing four
acres to create a plant dedi-
cated to transforming local
orchardists’ fruit into freeze-
dried fruit snacks. The Port
is also negotiating the lease
of an industrial “flex” build-
ing that Puff Factory has
been eyeing.

N ICHOLS T RAIL W ORK
Crestline crews are busy grading the west side of Nichols Boat basin to make way for trails, lawns and landscaping, and a new beach as
part of the Port of Hood River pedestrian access project. A new seawall, with railings, is the next major phase of the project. Target com-
pletion date is June. The new trail will connect pedestrian paths at the Event Site to a forthcoming trail section on the south end of the
boat basin, which will happen with the Nichols Landing hotel project planned by Naito Corp.

“The other is that if we
have cool and wet conditions
like the last week or so, that
can result in russeting of the
fruit,” Castagnoli said. Rus-
seting is the brown or yel-
lowish spots or streaks that,
while having limited impact
on the flavor of the fruit, can
reduce their marketability.
Castagnoli added that
pears and apples appear to
have experienced little dam-
age from the single-digit
early freeze in November
2014, though the abnormally-
cold temperatures spelled
disaster for cherry growers
in Wasco and Hood River
counties.
Despite the early bloom,
Castagnoli predicted the

harvest periods as “pretty
much business as usual.
“I think other than having
to scramble a little bit more
because things started earli-
er, this is always a busy time;
they’re (orchardists) doing
their usual attention to
weather forecasts,” he said
Thursday.
“At this stage, with more
war m, dry weather, that
would be fine,” Castagnoli
said, adding that the fruit
growers are prepared.
“The weather conditions
are not anything they don’t
deal with on a year to year
basis,” he said.

said, “It’s been pretty warm

that combo doesn’t really
contribute to frost.”
