She'll be talking about the Port Westward oil export facility in Clatskanie, citizens' concerns about oil trains through their community, the Port of St. Helens Commission and the proposed coal export faciltiy at the Port of St. Helens.
From Ms. Lichatowich:
My husband and I have lived in the Northwest for 48 years and in Columbia City for
14 years. Columbia City is about one hour drive northwest of Portland on Highway 30.
It is a small, rural community along the Columbia River. I have been a member of the
Columbia County Planning Commission for nine years and volunteer for community
non-profits. I am a retired small business owner working 18 years as a co-owner of a
fisheries research consulting company and 2 years as a sole proprietor manufacturing
and marketing of cloth bags.
