Permits cost $5 per cord, with a minimum purchase of four cords for $20. The limit for firewood on the forest is 12 cords per home per year. Firewood cutters are required to carry an ax, shovel and minimum 8-ounce fire extinguisher while cutting in the forest. Chainsaws also need to be equipped with a spark arrester to prevent fires. Mountain travel can be hazardous during spring, and drivers should avoid heading off roads and onto wet, unstable ground or fragile meadows where the environment can be damaged by vehicles. Many roads may still be inaccessible due to snow, and woodcutters should check with the local ranger district office beforehand. Local vendors will sell firewood permits in four-pack packets, with an additional $2 fee per packet. The following vendors have permits for sale: Southgate Mini-Mart, Pendleton; Smitty’s Ace Hardware, Hermiston; Mentzer & Elliott and J&D’s Food Mart, Pilot Rock; Zip Zone 2, Milton-Freewater; Heppner Shell; Athena Grocery; Rhode’s Supply, Ukiah. For more information, contact the Umatilla National Forest at 541-278- 3716. Non-injury house fire in Hermiston HERMISTON — Umatilla County Fire District 1 responded Friday evening to a house fire on 160 W. Beebe Ln. No one was injured in the fire, which was called in around 6 p.m. The owner of the house, the only resident, was not inside at the time, but was at the scene. Battalion Chief Jimmy Davis said crews don’t yet know what caused the fire, which started in an upstairs bedroom. “As far as we know it was contained to the upstairs,” he said. “At this point, there’s no indication as to what the source of the fire was.” He said they didn’t know the extent of the damage, but the ceiling was pulled off in the effort. Four fire engines and a medic unit were present at the scene. Firefighters had the blaze under control within a few minutes, but there was still smoke coming off the top of the house about a half hour later. Student-built home on the market HERMISTON — Hermiston School District students have almost finished their third home through the Columbia Basin Student Homebuilders program and are preparing it for sale. Located in the Fieldstone Crossing cul-de-sac at 875 SW Angus Ct., it is listed at $379,000.

Dogs compete first against their breed, and then against the winners of other breeds within one of seven groups: sporting dogs, hounds, non-sporting dogs, working dogs, herding dogs, terriers and toys. From there, a single champion is crowned best in show. “I think it’s is a nice opportunity for families to come out and see the different breeds, and see what purebred dogs are all about,” Haney said.

KOVACH: Four finalists to interview next week for superintendent job Continued from 1A announcement in February, but it’s clear that he wasn’t meeting board expectations. Between the time Kovach started the position in July 2016 and his resignation announcement Feb. 14, the board met with him three times behind closed doors to discuss his job performance. During the final performance review in late January, the board provided Kovach with an official mid-year evaluation, where he scored poorly. The board selected Kovach to replace the retiring Jon Peterson in March 2016. The then-principal of Ontario High School had 25 years experience as a teacher and administrator in Crane, Nyssa and Ontario. Yoshioka, a longtime Pendleton teacher and administrator, will now take the district reins as the board completes a search for a new superintendent. McBee said the board chose Yoshioka because he held the license requirements and there was not a desire to run a separate search for an interim superintendent. Prior to joining the district’s central office in 2015, Yoshioka was a teacher and administrator at Sunridge Middle School for 15 years. Four outside finalists have been selected to interview for the permanent superintendent position and the board expects to select a candidate in early May. The candidates are Aaron Chavez, superin- tendent of the Wahluke School District in central Washington, Chris Fritsch, assistant superintendent of Longview Public Schools in southwestern Washington, J.T. Stroder, superintendent of Gardiner Public Schools in Montana, and Jim Wagner, superintendent of Kimball Area Public Schools in Minnesota. The new superintendent is expected to start July 1.
