A2 Hood River News, Saturday, May 30, 2015 THE P orch ‘Savor the Gorge’ magazine debuts in June Savor the Gorge, a new publication celebrating fresh, local food, debuts in early June. Inside the pub- lication, which comes out in June and September, you’ll find stories on local food producers, on farm- ing and gardening, and on how to support local farm- ers, ranchers, producers and restaurants that fill their menus with local food. You’ll find stories on the people who are work- ing hard to bring fresh local food to market. There are even recipes that call for fresh, season- al ingredients. Settlers of Hood River and The Dalles in the mid- 1800s planted fruit trees, and things grew (so to speak) from there. Savor the Gorge will document the widespread modern shift to eating local food. Hearing delayed for marina shooting suspect By PATRICK MULVIHILL News staff writer Photos by Kirby Neumann-Rea SIGNS AT 13TH AND MAY are from a few weeks ago, but the problem persists: it is illegal to affix signs to utility or sign poles. Meanwhile, the cre- osote column shown wears a prickly hide of sta- ples, tacks and nails from years of scofflaws. On a lighter note, a sort of Northeast dialect lesson via visiting car’s window sticker. SEEN AND HEARD: elementary students checking seed starts in morning light before school … bird-spotted bench in front of down- town store … shop owner flipping cardboard coast- ers at friends in open car windows, then retrieving his misses … tomato starts leveled by the wind … blackberry blossoms already emerging … new businesses on the Heights gestating behind butcher paper in the windows … WELL DONE: The community kitchen is up and running at FISH headquarters on Tucker Road; the first of the “Seeds to Supper” class started there Tuesday. SAND STATE of Affairs: The newly created beach at Nichols Boat Basin is not even officially open yet, but you could gaze down at the sand alone and still know you’re in Hood River: already there are those disturbing signs that people have exer- cised their dogs there and failed to clean up after their pets. MEANWHILE, Back at the Dock: On the other hand, things are looking bright at the Event Site public dock, where Sandbar Café and Local Grind outdoor restaurants returned for the season about a week ago. The picnic tables are newly painted a pas- tel rainbow of colors, and Sandbar Café sports an expanded — and shaded — service counter. “We were slammed yesterday (Wednesday), the wind was so great,” said Sandbar employee Pedro Barerra. The Next Door renews ‘parenting’ photo contest; deadline June 30 Once again this year, in celebrating “Oregon Parent- ing Education Week,” the Co- lumbia Gorge Parenting Ed- ucation Program of The Next Door seeks photos of children from birth to eight years interacting with an adult in a healthy activity.

Tyson Sackett, 29, of Kamiah, who was charged with shooting Mark Wright, 60, of Eugene, at the marina on April 25, will make his next appearance at the Hood River County Courthouse on Wednesday, June 24 for a sta- tus check — a pre-trial hear- ing to determine the defen- L IONS Continued from Page A1 River Lions encourages peo ple who have been support- ing the Leos to continue doing so. The Hood River Lions Club, however, realized that it isn’t always easy for dedi- cated bottle-deposit donators to remember that date. The club also believes far more deposit containers can be collected if opportunities are expanded. The Club is work- ing with other property own- ers to secure trailer sites. “We wanted to provide time-strapped people an op- tion,” said Dave Waller, pres- ident of the Lions Club. “In exchange, we will be working with Opportunity Connec- tions to sort, bag and recycle those containers.” Proceeds from redemption of donated cans and bottles will be shared with Opportu- nity Connections. The por- tion retained by the Lions Clubs will offset collection costs and add to the annual contributions the club makes to local service and youth projects. Great Whites!

Sackett, a former Park- dale resident, was charged on April 27 with attempt- ed murder, assault first de g ree and Tyson Sackett tampering with evi- dence. If convicted, Sackett faces up to life in prison for attempted murder and a min- imum of 7.5 years for assault first degree. Sackett has remained in Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility in The Dalles since his arrest in April. His bail is set at $50,000. On Wednesday, Sackett ap- peared from the jail via video feed. Judge John Olson, Sackett’s attor ney, Brian Starns, and Hood River Dis- trict Attorney John Sewell discussed future appear- ances for Sackett leading up to his ultimate plea. Starns said he would need more time to prepare the case. He indicated that sever- al necessary pieces of evi- dence for the case had not yet been discovered, though he had just received some new information. “I’ve received an addition- al packet of reports just yes- terday,” said Starns. Starns did not mention the content of the reports. Olson set Sackett’s status check for June 24. On that date, Sackett will appear in court again and his attorney will either enter a plea or request an ad- ditional pre-trial hearing. In addition to that benefit, the effort to expand contain- er collections has an envi- ronmental benefit, Waller noted. According to the DEQ, container collections around Oregon saved three trillion BTUs of energy, equivalent to the amount of energy in 24 million gallons of gasoline. That recycling also reduced greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents — equal to the amount of carbon dioxide produced by 40,000 cars.
