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.

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.

A Kamiah, Idaho, man sus-

Tyson Sackett, 29, of

on April 25, will make his
next appearance at the Hood

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.

dant’s next move.
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. For more information

age Recycling Cooperative.

Sue –
You made Hood River Stationers
an institution — open longer than
any other downtown store
You began when there weren't
any people strolling Oak Street on
a Sunday afternoon
You thrived despite the onset of
big-box stores and weathered
through snowstorms and downtown
improvements
You built a strong team — Darlene, Mary Kay and numerous others
shined brightly on the community
You influenced countless high school-aged employees
You sold thousands of cards, pens and notepads, but you gave away
many more hours of ideas and directions to visitors
You helped define what Local means in Hood River
You showed us the work ethic, compassion and toughness needed to
succeed in owning a small business
You bought it thinking you’d run it for 5 years ... instead you
succeeded for 35
You laid the groundwork for success for the Pages
You raised two boys who couldn’t be more proud to call you mom
Congrats on retirement!
