College fundraiser rescheduled
Columbia Gorge Community College Foundation’s third annual “Saddle Up and Celebrate” fundraiser scheduled April 16 at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center has been canceled in order to follow health guidelines related to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a press release.
CGCC Foundation’s executive director Stephanie Hoppe said the priority of the foundation board and staff is the health of the community. “CGCC Foundation board and staff were looking forward to the special event and plan to host it in April 2021,” said Hoppe.
“The foundation board and staff truly appreciate the organizations and individuals who planned to support the foundation through event participation. We hope everyone can join us next year, helping us celebrate our college’s mission of building dreams and transforming lives,” she said.
Although the foundation will not host one of its two major annual fundraisers, the need for student scholarship support remains significant. The foundation awarded approximately $150,000 in scholarships in 2019-20, and its goal is to increase this amount every year as it seeks to help students achieve their educational and career goals.

Record changes for City of The Dalles
In accordance with Governor Kate Brown’s March 23 “Stay Home, Save Lives” executive order, city personnel are working remotely and prioritizing essential services. Therefore, the city anticipates delays in the processing of public records requests.
The City will continue to strive to meet statutory deadlines. However, consistent with the statutory provisions set forth in ORS 192.329(6)(a)(b), it may be impracticable for the city to comply with statutory deadlines during the emergency. In such cases, upon the availability of staff to do so, the city will notify requestors of an estimated completion date and complete a response as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay in compliance with ORS 192.329(6) and (8).
Struggling to pay rent or mortgage? Evictions halted
Governor Kate Brown on April 1 issued Executive Order 20-13, placing a 90-day moratorium on commercial evictions for nonpayment in light of the impacts on business owners caused by the COVID-19 crisis. The order also strengthens Brown’s previous ban on residential evictions and prohibits landlords from charging tenants late fees for nonpayment of rent during the moratorium.
