‘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.”

The site is located at 1130

Our Redeemer Luther-
an/Asbury United Methodist

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.
When open, it will replace
the Hood River site, but the

site.
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

Locks Marine Park Pavilion.
Enjoy a lively fashion show
and artist forum featuring
all of the artists for a Q&A.
■ April 26 — Meet the
artists at the gallery, 1-5 p.m.
More art demos, book sign-
ings, face painting and por-
traits.

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.

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.
