Falling tree kills man, plane crash kills
four as winds whip through Oregon
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — A wind-
storm toppled a large tree
limb onto an Oregon man,
killing him, and it might
have contributed to two
other catastrophic events
on a blustery Friday that cut
power to more than 200,000
people.
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.

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.

A Linn County Sheriff deputy approaches the scene of
a small plane crash north of Harrisburg that left four
people dead, Friday.
western Oregon. 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.
The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If you notice a mistake in the pa-
per, please call 541-966-0818.
