Residents don’t need to winterize water meters HERMISTON — Hermiston water customers no longer need to pack their water meters with insulation to protect them from winter weather. The city is nearing the end of a project to replace every customer’s water meter with a new model that can be read remotely and provide more detailed reports of water usage throughout the month. National Meter and Automation, the company installing the meters, has placed insulation around the meters as they are installed. OPEN HOUSE Saturday, Oct. 28 th 1:00-3:00pm 745 E.

The change, effective Monday, includes new lines painted on the parking lot to clearly delineate two separate lanes. One is to stop and drop off or pick up students, and the other lane allows vehicles to drive through the lane without stopping. Hermiston School District Operations Director Brad Wayland said there were no specific problems that caused the district to make the change, but they were trying to be proactive by revising the parking lot’s layout to make it safer. For the first few days of the new traffic pattern, there will be extra staff to direct students and parents through the parking lot.

WINDS Medford 80/44 — Founded Oct. 16, 1875 — HERMISTON — A 15-year-old girl was trans- ported via air ambulance to Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland Friday afternoon after a tree fell on her in Hermiston.

A bacterial outbreak that began last month has been causing sick or dead sea lions to strand themselves on beaches in Lincoln, Tillamook and Clatsop counties. The disease can spread through contact with urine or other bodily fluids of an infected animal. Dogs are more likely to come into contact with distressed sea lions, so they face a higher risk of infection than people. State public health veterinarian Emilio DeBess says dog owners should keep their pets on a leash while at the beach. The outbreak of leptospirosis is expected to last at least another month. At least eight cases have been confirmed in dead sea lions in Oregon. The most recent such outbreak in the state was in 2010. Man charged with arson for summer wildfire GRANTS PASS (AP) — An arson charge has been filed against a southern Oregon man accused of igniting wildfires. Authorities say 60-year-old David Ross Callaway started three separate blazes near Galice in August. Karl Witz of the Oregon Department of Forestry tells the Grants Pass Daily Courier that two of the fires were small, but one spread to 40 acres before an air attack stopped it. Callaway has yet to enter a plea and court records don’t list an attorney to speak on his behalf. A conditional release order forbids the Grants Pass man from possessing matches, lighters or other fire-starting materials. He’s due back in court Nov. 15. Police and prosecutors have not said how the fires were set. Though humans cause many wildfires, an arson charge is rare because it requires intent.
