Check out this awesome OPB segment on research to be able to deal with garden (in this case, vineyards) pests with NO PESTICIDES!! OPB = Oregon Public Broadcasting. We're going to make these desired changes in our lifetimes.

Researchers at Oregon State University have built a device that communicates with winery pests using vibrations. The tree hopper spreads devastating red blot...

DID YOU KNOW??

When there is a swimmer in peril, a surf lifesaver and dog will either approach from the beach or launch themselves out of a boat to help. Sometimes a team is even dropped from a helicopter. There are approximately 300 canines performing this type of action off the Italian and Croatian coast.

I want to make sure everyone is aware of this meeting, although I truly have no idea what it means based on the posting in the newspaper. I hope everyone will flood the contacts at the end of this post to ask for specific information, rather than all of the mumbo jumbo code numbers in Public Notice posted in The Astorian. I find it beyond frustrating that all of these decisions seem to be made without any type of true community or neighborhood involvement. (I know it's about the addition of park items, which again, those decisions were also made in the dark without community/neighborhood input.)

The City of Astoria Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, March 20, 2022 at 5:30pm in the Astoria City Hall, Council Chambers, 1095 Duane Street, Astoria. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the following request:

1. Conditional Use Request (CU-22-01) by the City of Astoria Parks Department to install new improvements at Violet LePlante Park at 4560 Cedar St. The following criteria are applicable to this request: Astoria Development Code Articles 2 (R-2 Zone specifically), 7 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), 9 (Administrative Procedures), 11 (Conditional Uses), and 14 (Neighborhood Greenway Overlay Zone specifically) and Astoria Comprehensive Plan Sections .080-.085 (Alderbrook Area) and .260-.275 (Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element).

For information, contact the Community Development Dept. by writing to: 1095 Duane St., Astoria OR 97103; by email: [email protected] or by phone: (503) 338-5183.
