Yachats River Houses The Daily Insider, embarking on a series of restaurant reviews, gives its first four stars to Marsii and Harley Charron’s Yachats River House in downtown Yachats. Crab cakes, rosemary bread, house-recipe salads and exquisite crème brulee highlight a modestly sized menu of gustatory delights. The wine list from the full bar provides complements for each entrée. Vancouver’s Duke Simpson and Lynne Dawson first recommended the small seaside restaurant as one of the best on the Oregon coast. Required reservations were provided by the restaurant’s accountant, Rod McCulloch. Modest pricing and server Sue McEneny’s patient attendance helped make the dining experience the more memorable. For reservations, call (541) 547-4100.

In addition to the monetary settlement, Sharma’s records will be changed to show that he retired in good standing. <> WPPSS rises again. Clark Public Utilities commissioners today voted to join Energy Northwest, which was formerly known as the Washington Public Power Supply System. In the 1980s, Clark and many other utilities dropped their memberships due to legal concerns associated with the end of construction on four of five nuclear plants WPPSS had been building. Today, Energy Northwest operates the Columbia Generating Station located on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation near the Tri-Cities, a small hydroelectric plant in Lewis County and a wind farm near Kennewick. Commissioners believe their could be some long-term benefits from membership, now that the agency is developing renewable energy projects. Calendar C-TRAN board of directors meets at 5:30 p.m. today in administrative offices at 2425 N E 65th Avenue. <> The Humane Society of Southwest Washington will break ground on its new 30,000-square-foot shelter at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at 912 NE 192nd Avenue.
