Hi Oregongirl,

If your husband is interesting in speaking on the record, have him give me a call today at 541-386-1234. I'll be updating the story for our print edition.

Hi Misanthrope,

This article was not written in correction of anything. One was written in advance of the city council meeting as a preview, the other followed up on that meeting.

Hi Trishia,

As best as I understand, the additional space would be used to expand their grocery offerings, but I don't believe it would be a full sized supermarket. A "Super Wal-Mart" is typically around 150,000 sq feet and can include things like a bakery, full sized supermarket, tire and auto center and often times has a fast food resturant and/or bank and optical center attached. I believed the closest one to Hood River is in Gresham, but I may be mistaken. There was a proposal for such a Wal-Mart on Country Club a while back, but it was nixed.

Hi Betty,

Thanks for your reading. Just so you aware the proposed expansion would not be a Super WalMart (There was once a Super WalMart proposal which was proposed on Country Club Rd., but that was a separate issue) This would be a standard WalMart, only bigger.

Hi Misanthrope. What I believe was meant in the editorial is that Cascade Locks could be used as a magnet school within the Corbett School district, meaning that if Corbett school was full, kids wanting to get into the Corbett district could go to Cascade Locks from the Gresham/Portland area, which would be about 45 minutes.

Thanks for reading, Yetiaxe. The full quote from Julie's original story on Mr. Lloyd (who was recently arrested yet again) was: "Most homeless individuals are simply looking for a warm bed and a good meal until a new job comes along to turn things around. That profile, however, did not seem to fit Paul Lawayne Loyd, 47, on Nov. 3."

Isn't it wonderful to live in a country where the government can't tell the newspaper which comments it should or should not publish?

Hi Windslayer,

Just to clarify, this would be an unofficial name for the sandbar...and the city is not using any tax dollars on this.
