Page 17 From the Sheriff’s Desk by Jeff Dickerson, Columbia County Sheriff Labor Day coverage The Columbia County Sher- iff’s Office committed extra manpower and boats to the Co- lumbia River over the Labor Day Weekend. The extra re- sources helped ease the bur- den on marine deputies as the weather favored a large turnout on the water. Deputies put three boats on the river during peak hours and logged 152 man hours and 86 boat hours over the three-day weekend. Deputies responded to three Boating Under the In- fluence of Intoxicant calls. One culminated in the drowning death of a SeaDoo operator adjacent to Collins Beach on Sauvie Island, while the other two resulted in BUII arrests. Deputies also were able to make 28 boater contacts on the water, as well as assisting two boaters with disabled vessels. Additionally, Deputies were the first to respond to Collins Beach on an additional medical assist – a day after they had re- sponded to the same area on a BUII drowning. “We prepared for this week- end with additional personnel to handle the expected in- crease in boaters during the holiday weekend,” said Sheriff Jeff Dickerson. “The extra staff enabled us to increase the number of positive contacts on the water, as well as to conduct the criminal and death investi- gations involving operators who were boating under the in- fluence.” “The extra people on the wa- ter paid off for us, especially with the beautiful weather that drew even more people to the water for the three-day week- end,” the sheriff said.
