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.

HERMISTON — Rocky
Heights Elementary School
parents will have to get used
to a new flow of traffic as
the district has redesigned
the student drop-off/pick-up
location.
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.

SALEM (AP) — State
officials are warning
Oregonians to keep their
dogs away from sea lions.
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.
