A2 Hood River News, Saturday, April 18, 2015 ‘WOMEN IN MOTION’ HRV Speech-Debate wins District Eighteen members of the Hood River Valley High School Speech and Debate team travelled to Hermiston April 11 to compete for the District championship. Besides winning the team competition, HRV will also send 12 competi- tors to the State Competi- tion at Western Oregon University next week. Seniors going on to State are Dakota Bickle, Lucas Campos-Davis, Nils Engbersen and Garrett Kelly. In addition to their competition schedule this school year, the seniors have volunteered many hours to mentor younger team members, teaching the various events and de- bate preparation, accord- ing to advisor Delona Campos-Davis. “The team has been in a building year, with many freshman and others new to competitive speech,” Campos-Davis said. “Aside from the individ- ual events and types of speeches, students im- proved their research and writing skills and learned to give constructive feed- back to teammates.” Here are the full results from District: ■ Hannah Hart and Claire Hamada — first in Dual Interpretation ■ Olivia Acosta — first in Expository ■ Darrian Thomas — first in Extemporaneous and third in Impromptu ■ Dakota Bickle — sec- ond in Impromptu ■ Amy Webber — first in Impromptu ■ Nathan Johnston — first in Oratory ■ Katelyn McAllister — third in Poetry ■ Ruby Patterson — sec- ond in Poetry ■ Hannah Hart — first in Poetry ■ Lucas Campos-Davis — first in Radio ■ Garrett Kelly and Nils Engbersen — first in Pub- lic Forum debate ■ Soren Rajani and Lauren He g emann — third in Parliamentary Debate ■ Amy Webber and Nate Miller — second in Parliamentary Debate ■ Darrian Thomas and Olivia Acosta — first in Parliamentary Debate FISH site opens its doors May 4 By KIRBY NEUMANN-REA News editor The long-awaited FISH Food Bank site will open on May 4 for food distribution.

Simurdak Construction is general contractor on the project, which includes FISH offices, food storage and dis- tribution areas, a waiting room and full scale commu- nity kitchen. The new food bank is built on land donated by Our Redeemer, and is made possible by a capital campaign drawing on about 600 individuals donors as well as grant funding.

The weekend will include artist demonstrations, a f ashion show, an ar tist forum, book signings, live music, face painting, por- traits, and food and wine. Part of the proceeds from the event will go to Called to Rescue, an anti-sex traffick- ing organization. The schedule is as follows: ■ April 25 — Meet the artists at the gallery, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Enjoy art demos, book signings, live music, face painting and a studio tour. ■ April 26 — “Her Soul in Motion” fashion show, 11 a.m. in the Port of Cascade Locks Marine Park Pavilion.

This year’s artist list: Photo by Kirby Neumann-Rea FOOD DISTRIBUTION, as well as nutrition education and community outreach, will happen at the new FISH site on Tucker Road. Locks sites will continue to operate as well. Construction on the Hood River project will be com- plete around the middle of April, according to Chuck Bugge of the FISH building committee. “The committee agreed that our most important issue is to be ready to serve our community,” Bugge said. Later this month volun- teers will begin assembling shelving and moving food and supplies on site. FISH is also scheduling training of volunteers on new protocol and adjust- ments to a new environment. The committee has set June 20 as a date for a com- munity open house. Meanwhile, construction workers are not the only ones busy at the new facility. Hood River Middle School students have created a mural in the waiting room to welcome visitors. S ALMON Continued from Page A1 with their project. “It’s a really cool commu- nity project already estab- lished, and it’s great to see the community out here ex- cited to save some fish,” Dil- lon said. Catching fish in nets “is kinda hard,” said Lila Mortenson, 7, a Mosier Com- munity School student who was at the creek with brother Leif, 9, and parents Tim and Rachel. Donna Bender ag reed. “It’s harder than it looks,” she said. “These fish are speed demons. But if the Art, fashion, ideas, at Cascade Locks event water dries up and they don’t get help, they will die.” In the first hour and a half of work, Igo estimated 390 fry had been saved.
