I really appreciate the informative article on Huntington’s and the research being done. I have a niece and nephew who have it. I will send them this article praying it gives them information and hope.

We sincerely want to thank the Columbia River Gorge Community and our partners North Central Public Health District and One Community Health for your enthusiasm and commitment to clinical research to find new tests to stop the spread of COVID-19.

I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to my community and patients for trusting me as your family doctor for the past 18 years. It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving my medical practice at MCMC as of August 2.

North Central Livestock Association extends our most heartfelt thank you to all that supported our most recent event, The Butchers BBQ.

Due to the incredible hard work of Oregonians over the past year, COVID-19 infection rates are down, and 70% of adult Oregonian’s have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

I read with interest the article about the mutilated cow found on the Johnson ranch. Many are not aware how widespread these animal mutilations are.

In response to your May 25 article about cardiology at Mid-Columbia Medical Center, I want to reassure our community that MCMC will continue to offer uninterrupted cardiology services in The Dalles and Hood River despite the changes in our contract with OHSU.

Nate is running for all of the right reasons: he wants to give back to our community and understands the value of CGCC and its impact on our community and the economy. He has the right background and skills for the job.

I support Michael Held for the Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation Board. MIchael is a native West Virginian, he knows the hard-scrabble nature of rural people and places and is keenly aware that to get things done in small towns you have to get your hands a little dirty.

As a local attorney, I’ve had the chance to work with Marcus Swift to solve complex legal issues. In my interactions with him, he’s been professional, prompt, and attentive to detail. He also has a passion for serving our community. That’s why I’m voting for Marcus Swift for Port of The Dalles, Position 3, in the May 2021 election.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented difficult challenges to the D21 educational system. Our board, administrators, teachers, support personnel, students, and parents have responded with creativity, flexibility, imagination, and common sense to keep our students safe and to fulfill our mission to provide a quality education.

Sound judgment, good values, and a commitment to the safety of our children are all qualities we should seek in every elected official. That is why I was appalled and sickened to learn that Dr. John Willer, a candidate for Port of The Dalles Commission, has publicly endorsed Frank Polehn for the position of Columbia Community College Board.

I’m a small business owner, mom and volunteer in our community. For this May’s election, I will be voting for Marcus Swift for Port of The Dalles Commission, Position 3. As I think about the leadership our community needs, Marcus’ firsthand experience starting and building his own small business will be invaluable as a Commissioner.

As small business owners in downtown The Dalles, we are proudly supporting Marcus Swift for Port of The Dalles, Position 3, in this May 2021 election.

Our region is lucky to have Columbia Gorge Community College as an asset for our students and industry. During this May's election, Wasco County voters will have a chance to select new members to its board of directors, and I am writing to express my support for Nate Stice.

I am so excited that Holly Gove is running for North Wasco County School Dist. 21, Zone 5 School Board position!

Holly is a go-getter and full of energy and ‘get-to-it’ ness!! When she sets her mind to a task-she makes it happen! I’ve known Holly for a number of years and she is full of integrity!

I have had the pleasure of working with John in different capacities and found him an invaluable asset to the community.
