Too close for comfort?

Workers recently installed a natural gas service line near the former Long's Funeral Home at 855 Chestnut Street. The line, which at last look was not protected, is quite close to the street, making it vulnerable to wayward vehicles.

Cameras installed at 3rd & Locust

Workers installed cameras at the intersection of Third and Locust Streets on Monday. Each of the four cameras monitors a section of the two streets. For example, on Third Street, one camera faces northwest, while the other points southeast.

  

Three cameras were also installed recently at Front and Walnut, near the entrance to Columbia River Park.

Q&A: The Market House Trust - In their own words

Columbia Spy recently met with several members of the Columbia Historic Market House Trust for a question-and-answer session.  The Trust has sometimes been the target of criticism since its inception in 2011/2012, and in the interest of accuracy, the Spy asked Trust members to explain the organization's purpose and to correct public misperceptions. Due to its length, this Q&A will be presented in three parts over the next few days and will also include legal documents as supplemental material.

The current members of the Trust are as follows:

VOTING MEMBERS

Chair - Cleon Berntheizel

Vice Chair - Don Haines

Secretary - Jodie Eck

Treasurer - Elaine Beckley

Director - Jeanne Cooper

(All of the above members are directors.)

NONVOTING MEMBERS

Part 2 will appear tomorrow.

Was the Bridge Bust a Bust?

In years past, over 18,000 people have attended. This year, the weather kept people and even vendors away. Out of 309 vendors, attendees say they think only about half showed up and only about 2,000 people bought a ticket to get in.
