The Columbia Land Trust will start work this month to re-align drainage of its Kandoll Farm property on Kandoll Road near Rosburg. The project is designed to improve habitat for juvenile salmonids, but a major benefit will be to reduce erosion of land on Seal River Slough. As part of another habitat enhancement project several years ago, engineers from Ducks Unlimited helped the land trust replace tidegates on a channel leading into the slough with two large culverts. That resulted in increased flow in Seal Slough which is now eroding dikes...

Public Works Director Pete Ringen said bonding requirements had been changed for the second call for bids.

I pause this week of Independence Day to remember the sacrifices that have been made and that continue to be made for the benefit of our country. This week especially we mourn the loss of 19 firefighters in Arizona. They're not the only ones who've given their lives for our country. We've lost soldiers in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, good people who dared greatly and put their lives on the line for the interests of our country. This is a tradition that goes back to the days of the revolution. Of course, there are wounded survivors of our...
