Ronald Kibert, 67, of Tigard died at a Portland hospital after a neighbor discovered him under a large limb Friday morning, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said. Inves- tigators learned that he liked to take walks in the area where the tree fell. Meanwhile, a small plane went down in a field north of Eugene Airport, killing all four people aboard, Linn County Sheriff Bruce Riley said. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but winds were strong at the time. Riley reports his deputies responded to the crash in a field Friday near the town of Harrisburg and that the four occupants of the plane died. The Register-Guard newspaper reports the plane was approaching the Eugene Airport when it crashed about 10 miles north of the airport. Marty Nill, who with his brother operates a private airfield near Harrisburg, said in a phone interview that conditions are very windy. On the Columbia River, a research boat overturned and sank in rough conditions near Multnomah Falls, sending three men and a woman to area hospitals with hypothermia. The most seri- ously injured man was flown by LifeFlight helicopter to a Portland hospital, American Medical Response said. The powerful storm caused havoc up and down -0s BRIEFLY Oregon company fined $4,900 for Portland natural gas blast PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon safety officials have fined a company nearly $5,000 for its role in a Portland natural gas explosion that caused an estimated $17 million in damages and seriously injured a firefighter. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division faulted Loy Clark Pipeline Co. for digging on the north side of a street near where the October explosion took place after notifying authorities it intended to dig on the south side. Loy Clark spokeswoman Andrea Fonkert says the Tualatin-based company is reviewing the citation. The Oct. 19 error caused a NW Natural pipeline to become disengaged, which led to explosions that destroyed a building and damaged several others. Several people were injured, including a firefighter who underwent surgery for a broken leg.

Gusts of 50 to 60 mph knocked trees into power lines and across roads. Pacific Power crews spent Friday restoring power in communities from the Willamette Valley down toward the California state line, including Albany, Bandon, Grants Pass, North Bend and Roseburg. The utility said about 100,000 of its customers were without power at dawn, but that number fell to 16,000 by mid-afternoon. The storm surged north into the Portland area. Winds whipped debris across downtown streets and forced construction workers to hold their hard hats. Fire departments responded to numerous calls about downed trees and wires, and photos of property damage quickly spread online. Portland General Electric reported that more than 100,000 of its customers were without power in the three-county metro area, mostly in suburban Portland. Thousands also lost power in the wine country south- west of Portland and near the Oregon State Capitol in Salem. Some school districts and community colleges canceled classes because of power outages. Other schools said buses were delayed by blocked roads. The Oregon Zoo was closed. The National Weather Service said the strongest winds were over, but gusts would continue into the evening. SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Salem family is mourning the loss of their pet after they say it was mauled to death by another dog in their neighborhood. The Statesman Journal reports Amanda Reyna says her 9-year-old Chihuahua named Fifi was protecting her 5-year-old son from the other dog when it was attacked. Fifi was bit several times. The other dog’s owner eventually came out and broke up the fight but it was too late. Reyna took Fifi to a veterinary clinic and found out the dog had blood in its lungs. She said the other dog’s owners paid $120 for Fifi’s euthanization. Reyna said she later contacted animal control about the other dog, which had been spotted wandering the neighborhood. Marion County Dog Services is investigating Monday’s attack and will determine whether to take action. Corrections In the article “Umatilla fire chief’s crash went unreported; former mayor seeks investigation” (April 1, Page 1A), former Umatilla Mayor David Trott said he got nowhere in a request to the sheriff’s office for a crash report. The sheriff’s office did in fact respond to Trott’s request for information about the crash but Trott was not aware of the email.
