Café donates 10 percent of sales to relief for Kumari, Nepal
Help an earthquake-dam-
aged Nepal village by visit-
ing Doppio café on May 27.
Doppio, 310 Oak St., will
give 10 percent of all sales
that day to support rebuild-
ing of homes in Kumari,
Nepal after the earthquake
that hit the Himalayan na-
tion in late April and early
May.
Peter Marbach of Hood
River, who has spent time in
Kumari, said it costs just
$280 to rebuild a home for a
family of 10 or more in Ku-
mari.
The $280 purchases local-
ly-sourced tin which families
will use for a more perma-
nent roofing to put on
patched up stone and bam-
boo structures. International
aid groups offer tarps which
will not survive the wind and
rain, according to Marbach.
“It would be wonderful if
Hood River coffee drinkers
would flock to Doppio on
May 27 and purchase enough
coffee and pastries to build a
home for one family in Ku-
mari,” he said
“There are 370 families
who need their homes re-
built. It would be a great ges-
ture, from our mountain vil-
lage to a mountain village in
Nepal, if we can help rebuild
one home at a time,” Mar-
bach said.
Ryan’s Juice, Ground, and
Copper West Properties have
also made “significant dona-
tions,” according to Mar-
bach.
Before the earthquake hit,
Jagat Lama, Nepal trekking
guide and community leader
of the Kumari region, was in
the process of trying to ac-
quire land to plant a coffee
crop that would become a
sustainable source of in-
come to fund the medical
clinic, women’s skills center,
and higher education for
local children.
Marbach will announce
what was raised at 7 p.m. on,
May 27 before at his book
signing with Janet Cook at
the Columbia Center for the
Arts (details on page A8.)

In the race for CGCC Posi-
tion 3, Lee Fairchild topped
Christina Suarez 1,161 to 774
(60 to 40 percent). The cur-
rent board member, Dave
Fenwick, opted not to run for
re-election.
In Hood River County
School Board races, Chris
Reitz of Hood River garnered
263 votes to 222 for Kris Wil-
helm, also of Hood River, and
157 for Rob Brostoff of Cas-
cade Locks, a 41-34-24 percent
split.
Running uncontested were
Kateri Osborn Lohr, current
Position 3 director, with 325
votes, and Tom Scully, Posi-
tion 5, with 296.
In Port of Hood River
races, Brian Shortt won his
Positon 4 race handily over
Dennis Cullington, 1,849 to
360 (83 to 16 percent) and
Hoby Streich won re-election
by a wide margin, 1,542 to
Jason Carpenter’s 315 and
Brian Hardy’s 297, a 71-15-14

For Port of Cascade Locks,

said elections supervisor
Kim Kean.
So while the small chance
exists that the remaining
ballots could tip things
Brown’s or Munk’s way,
Kean is preparing for the un-
usual situation of calling in
the candidates to roll the
dice.
The last time that hap-
pened was several years ago,
according to Kean.
“I brought my backgam-
mon board to the office and
we used those dice,” Kean
said.

The tie in the Crystal
Springs Water District race
could be decided by a roll of
the dice.
In the race where four can-
didates ran for three posi-
tions, Bill Munk and Larry
Brown are tied in third place
at 327. Some untabulated bal-
lots could still affect the race;
if not, the candidates will
toss the numbered cubes and
whoever rolls the highest
number wins.
The outstanding ballots in-
clude an unknown number
that were received from
other counties. These could
arrive by mail anytime be-
tween now and Tuesday, a
factor complicated by lack of
mail delivery on the Monday
Memorial Day holiday.
The other set of ballots
that might come into play
are the 20 or so “questioned”
ballots at the Hood River
elections office. Those are
ballots that have not been
tabulated yet because of
questions over the signa-
tures or addresses. In some
cases, the voter failed to sign
the envelope. With all ques-
tion ballots, the county con-
tacts the voter directly and
each much come to the elec-
tions office to resolve the
question. They have until
June 2 to do so.
It is not known if any of
the question ballots are from
the Crystal Springs District,
ordinance document be-
tween “presiding officer”
and “chair” as well as “hear-
ing body” and “planning
commission.” In both cases,
he deduced, the pair of
terms refer to the same enti-
ty.
Other proposed changes to
the zoning ordinance include
simplifying language in its
administrative code, namely
the phrasing used when de-
termining whether a party
has “standing for review” in
a land use case, or if a “de
novo” or “new evidence”
hearing is required.
The county board of com-
missioners agreed to make
alterations to ordinance Ar-
ticle 61, but hoped to clarify
last minute confusions in the
text while the ordinance
issue was still on the radar
— and easily edited.
“It’s a cleanup. It’s an at-
tempt to make things more
readable,” Will Carey, county
land-use counselor. “This
probably won’t be the last
time we come back and look
at it.”

Following balloting, two
special district races had un-
usual situations that keep
their outcome in question: A
four-year term on the Trans-
portation District had two
write-in candidates, and two
men are locked in a tie for
one seat on the Crystal
Springs Water District,
south of Parkdale. (See relat-
ed story.)
Mike McCarthy earned 551
votes (32 percent) and Mick
Swyers 455 (28 percent) while
Bill Munk and Larry Brown
each have 327 (20 percent).

test, Leticia Valle and Otto
