It was the first major house fire in Parkdale since last summer. The last resi- dence that burned down was also a light frame manufac- tured home. F ILM Continued from Page A1 Myles Cameron carefully re- viewed the final cut of his film submission, a skiing video he shot, directed and produced. Cameron said he filmed his subject, HRVHS skier Tucker FitzSimons, by skiing behind him, holding a camera on a Glidecam stabi- lization rig. The duo shot the video at Timberline Lodge last spring. Cameron and FitzSimons tions came and presented to student government on April 9. Students voted and the fol- lowing will be receiving from CWD: Cascade Mt. School, Columbia Gorge Peace Vil- lage, History Museum of Hood River County, Relay for Life, The Next Door, and United Way. Past Community Work Day events have gener- ated upwards of $20,000. If you would like to spon- sor a student or have ques- tions, contact Wendy Her- man in the Summit Career Center at 541-387-5034 ext. 1 or e-mail wendy.herman@ hoodriver.k12.or.us. O IL Vezeau discussed notifica- tion procedures and identi- fied boat launches to get booms on the water, which will be the first line of de- fense. There are 62 boat launches in the plan, includ- ing nine in The Dalles. “We are much better equipped to get oil off the water than before due to more collection strategies,” Vezeau said. Potential risks to the Co- lumbia come from oil trans- ported on large commercial vessels, pipelines, rail cars and trucks. The majority of oil transported by rail into Washington and Oregon en- ters Washington at the bor- der with Idaho near Spokane. The oil is trans- ported west along the Colum- bia River to Vancouver be- fore heading north toward refineries in Anacortes and Ferndale, near the Canadian border. The newly updated GRP covers 198 miles of the river, beginning upstream of the Bonneville Dam and ending at the Hanford Site near the Tri-Cities. Continued from Page A1 The Parkdale Grange enjoyed a busy weekend of visitors during its annual Blossom Dinner, held April 18-19. Saturday saw scores of vis- iting diners — but Sunday is traditionally “locals day.” Vernon and Beverly Shoaf, Dale and Carolee Lyddon, Dale and Mary Blumenthal and Ivan Hardman (all of Parkdale, except for the Lyddons, who reside in Hood River) took advantage of a Sunday lull to enjoy a friend- ly meal together. Hardman’s wife, Jean, was busy selling tickets and serving at the event. See page B1 for more photos. F IRE Hood River Valley High School (HRVHS) is support- ing the 18th annual Commu- nity Work Day (CWD) Wednesday, April 29. CWD is an opportunity for students from HRVHS to partner with local business owners or individuals for five hours to do work for the business/individual. For five hours of a student’s time, the business/individual pledges a $50 donation to HRVHS/CWD. All money raised by the students for CWD experience is donated to local non-profit organiza- tion(s). Local non-profit organiza- CL family recovers from April 11 fire A Cascade Locks family is still recovering from the loss of their home, which burned to the ground the Saturday before last. Flames leveled the former home of Christina Fehd, Shane Barron and 13-year- old son Logan Barron on Sat- urday, April 11. The 40-year- old cabin at NW Forest Lane in Cascade Locks was Shane’s childhood home. The family lost roughly $60,000 worth of possessions in the fire. According to Fehd, the family lost pic- tures, memories, clothing, furniture and electronics in- cluding a computer. In addition to local fire de- partments, the American Red Cross of the Cascade Re- gion responded to the scene on Saturday. Volunteers pro- vided food, clothing and tem- porary lodging at the Bridge of the Gods motel in Cascade Locks. The family stayed there for three days before relocating to a friend’s travel trailer, where they’re cur- rently residing. The family has reached out to the community for suppor t. As of F riday, they’ve raised about $450 on GoFundMe.com — a dona- tion website — and $250 from a fund at Riverview Bank in Stevenson. Their total goal is $10,000. Cash donations can be made at the Barron fund at Riverview Bank or online at http://www.gofundme.com/ rnq3bfc. are nationally ranked in their respective crafts— FitzSimons took first place at the United States of America Snowboard and Freeski As- sociation Nationals last week in Colorado, and Cameron won state and na- tional contests with a video he directed, “Eagle Nation.” Cameron’s classmates at HRVHS provided the music for “Eagle Nation.” The song features rapid-fire rap lyrics and hip hop beats by Owen Kozec, and soaring vocals by Noah Tauscher. The video won Oregon School Activi- ties Association’s “#1 Stu- dent Section” contest last fall. It then went on to win $2,500 for the school’s multi- media pro g ram through “What Makes your School Rock,” a national music video contest hosted by Jostens and the Grammy Foundation. HRVHS was one of three schools chosen for the award nationwide. The Hood River Indepen- dent Film Festival will be the first chance for Cameron and his classmates to compete at a local screening. Cameron will be submitting two sports action videos, and Kozec will be providing the ominous synth soundtrack for his classmate Willie Ishizaka’s fire-fighting video. According to Schend, there will be 10 student-pro- duced films in total. Follow- ing the student films will be a professional independent action film shot by Dakine. The festival will be held at Hood River Valley High School in the Bowe Theatre on Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m. The event is open to filmgoers of all ages. sponse planner for the DEQ, said while the goal is to re- turn the site to pre-spill con- dition, it’s not a question if the environment with be im- pacted but how? Pettit said a spill is consid- ered clean when there is no visible oil, oil no longer rubs off on contact and oiled veg- etation is removed. “There will always be im- pacts on the environment from actions associated with cleaning up a spill,” Pettit said. “There will always be uncer tainty in knowing what has been harmed, what to do about it and when to stop.” Police and fire depart- ments, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Department of Ecolo g y and U.S. Coast Guard would all report to an oil spill. Response always be- gins locally, then state re- sources, followed by federal, will be called if the spill be- comes too much. “The first day typically goes very well because every- body is out there, they know their job and they are doing it.” EPA coordinator Mike Renz said. Lead planner Sue Vezeau briefly went over the Mid-Co- lumbia River Geographic Re- sponse Plan, which is being updated for the first time since 2004. The GRP provides direction to responders in the early hours of a spill. Mission Chairs For Sale Kidnapping, rape suspect to see court in May A Hood River man accused of eight separate felonies in- cluding kidnap and rape will appear before a judge next month, following a request for re-appearance delivered Monday by his attorney. Michael Scott Linden, 52, was charged with burglary, kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, assault fourth degree, strangulation and unlawful use of weapon— all of which are felonies. Linden was also charged with as- sault and menacing, which are misdemeanors. Judge Karen Ostrye set Linden’s next court appear- ance at the Hood River Coun- ty Courthouse for Wednes- day, May 6. Linden was booked in Norther n Oregon Region Corrections Facility last Wednesday and arraigned at the courthouse Thursday, where he appeared before Judge John Olson via video feed. Linden appeared again via video for a follow up appear- ance before Ostrye at the court Monday, April 22. No new information regarding the criminal case was dis- cussed. Linden’s attorney, Brian Starns, said the defendant would reserve the right to plead against the charges as well as to formally file a mo- tion for reduction of bail, but would re-appear at a later date. “I would still like to keep those options in place and ask for a re-appearance date at the court’s convenience,” said Starns.
