Mowing down Mountains

Mike Morena, 36, of The Dalles controls a Tracmow remote control lawnmower at Dry Hollow Elementary this morning. The mower on tracks is capable of cutting the steep hillsides at the school, while the operator can safely walk behind it.

Gov. Kate Brown said the long term benefits of heading off emerging mental health and academic crisis for students far outweighs the short-term risk of reopening schools. She asked that more schools be on track to safely reopen by Feb. 15. District 21 Interim Superintendent Theresa Peters said that will give the district time to absorb new guidance due from the state by Jan. 19. The district will also gather input from parents and staff.
