More than 100 people gathered for barbecue and other refreshments in the new meeting room/classroom adjacent to the kitchen. Also housed there are distribution and warehouse spaces, office, and waiting room. By KIRBY NEUMANN-REA News editor The June 17 Hood River News edition mentioned two new cideries due to open this summer and fall in Hood River. We clarify the name of one – it’s Crush Cider Cafe , 1020 Wasco Street – and announce the name chosen for what had been called “12 Ciders” on the Heights. Spoke and Sail will be the official name of the Heights cidery, according to partner John Metta. The name re- flects the love of outdoor sports in this area, he said. Metta said, “We’ll have other local ciders, with a focus on small Gorg e cideries without any tasting venues. “Our plan is 12 cider taps and three for beers — two local, and one random,” said Metta, who recommends that those in search of diverse ciders visit a cider taphouse, and those looking for diverse beers visit establishments such as their Heights neigh- bors, Volcanic Bottle Shoppe.

Mayor Paul Blackbur n stressed that Monday’s ini- tial presentation was just that: a first look at a long list of potential solutions, and that a process of work ses- sions and public hearings at Planning Commission and City Council will follow this summer and fall. The next key date is the Planning Commission’s July 6 public hearing on the strategies, 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. Planning Commission chairman Nate DeVol said the panel should have a work session (open to the public) prior to the hearing, espe- cially in light of proposed strategies that are either controversial or ones not in- cluded in the report that might still be open to consid- eration. “We need to have the chance to review those things we thought of as a body, before we ask the pub- lic about them,” DeVol said. “Our purview is to make sure zoning is right to ac- complish the things you want to accomplish,” DeVol said. The three basic strategies proposed in the document are: ■ Increasing efficiency of use of land within the Hood River Urban Growth Bound- ary (main fix could be reduc- ing density minimums with- in some zones, to encourage more housing units). ■ Regulate and manage secondary and short-term rental housing (main fix: en- hance the existing permit and licensing program so revenue is accrued from more homes not occupied on a year-round basis). ■ Develop affordable hous- ing, both market rate and gover nment subsidiz ed (main fix: partly in place: Walbridge said Mid-Colum- bia Housing Authority, rep- resented in TAC, has stepped up to take on a larger part- nership with the city com- mitting to increase its part- nership with the city). “We have not used them enough in the past,” she said. Monday’s public testimo- ny on the report was sand- wiched between Walbridge and Goodman’s report, and a lengthy discussion of more than 20 strategies suggested the city consider to reduce the overall cost of housing, and therefore accessibility, to people of all income levels. About 60 people attended the meeting, and those who spoke stressed the need for action to benefit low income people while also honoring the town’s growing tourism base. “This problem is on a wide continuum,” Becky Rawson told the city officials, citing cases of medical profession- als, including physicians and specialists, who she said can- not afford to purchase a home in Hood River. “There is a stigma with affordable housing, but it is imperative we speak for all people. Thank you for speaking to it at all.” “We are a tourist economy as well as other things. Bal- ance is a key,” said Libby Taylor, who represents a property management firm that deals with vacation homes. “Legislation is in order but hopefully it’s rea- sonable and easy to enforce,” she said. Walbridge said that, with the report as guide, “When we go about adopting these strategies, it will be a more smooth path.

The d. un flies buzzing aro How does a housefly walk upside down on a ceiling and straight up slick glass windows? At the end of a fly’s foot are two tiny, sticky suction cups called pulvilli (pull –VIL-eye) and two claws. The claws help the housefly grab onto rough surfaces and the pulvilli allow the fly to stick to smooth surfaces. Most of a housefly’s head is covered by its eyes. Houseflies have compound eyes, which means that each eye is actually made up of 3,000 to 6,000 simple eyes. How many flies can you find on today’s page in 60 seconds? Have a friend try. Who found more? FLY-O-VISION! Compound eyes permit a fly to see in many directions at once. Each lens points in a slightly different direction, making it possible for a housefly to see above, below and to the sides, as well as to the front. That is why it is hard to sneak up on a housefly!

Specific proposed strate- gies include: creating mini- mum density requirements This is the story about a lady who swallows a fly, spider, bird, cat, dog, goat, cow and horse. Do you think she lives? Houseflies have no teeth. Everything they eat must be liquefied. If a housefly wants to eat something solid, such as a sugar crystal, it must first dissolve the food with saliva. Then it can suck the liquid up its proboscis. The proboscis is a hollow tube that extends out of its mouth. Houseflies eat all kinds of things—manure, garbage, human food and dead, decaying animals. That’s why it’s important to keep houseflies away from your food; they can leave behind germs.

Kiyokawa is building a structure on his Clear Creek Road property where he, or someone who arranges with him to do so, can press fruit into juice to make cider. Kiyokawa said he does not expect the facility to go into operation this year, though he has plenty of fruit at ready, including five acres of diverse cider-friendly apples growing on leased property on Lava Bed Road. When he does make cider himself, it will be sweet, non- alcoholic cider, but the facili- ty will be suited (as in plumbed and drained) for ei- ther a pressing or full-scale cider making operation. He sees his own facility as a chance to “bridge the gap” between people like himself, with plenty of fruit, and cider makers who are look- ing for a place to forge their wares.
