Moscow, ID Councilman suspected of fatal fall off bridge

08:07 AM PST on Wednesday, January 10, 2007

Associated Press

MOSCOW, Idaho -- Oregon State Police officials say it is unlikely Moscow
City Councilman John Dickinson survived a fall off the bridge spanning the
mouth of the John Day River.



KREM.com

Moscow, ID Council President John Dickinson

The 62-year-old is believed to have jumped off the bridge to avoid being
struck by a vehicle as he was assisting a motorist on Interstate 84 in
Oregon Sunday night.


Oregon State Police say the fall alone would be a significant impact, most
likely knocking a person unconscious.


Dive teams were called in Monday, but could not be deployed because of the
deep and turbulent water.


While officials are holding out hope, Oregon State Police say the search is
now a recovery operation.

A Tragic Loss
Moscow City Councilman John Dickinson Missing, Presumed Dead


By Joan Opyr, 1-10-07

Moscow City Councilman John Dickinson is missing, presumed dead, after an
accident that occurred Sunday night on Interstate 84 in Oregon. Councilman
Dickinson, 62, had stopped his car to assist another motorist when a third
car crashed into the scene. Dickinson either fell or jumped from the bridge
over the John Day River where it meets the Columbia. The waters at this
intersection are swift and cold, and the drop from the bridge is some thirty
feet. It is unlikely that Dickinson could have survived the fall or the
40-degree water temperatures. What began as a rescue effort was, by Monday
afternoon, being described as a recovery.

John Dickinson was a friend and a political ally. He was a retired
University of Idaho Professor and the founder of Sirius Idaho Theatre. John
was a strong advocate for smart growth, the environment, and the people of
Moscow. I will miss him personally. The community will miss him even more.
We have a lost a compassionate and caring man, and an important and
outspoken voice for justice and equity in Idaho.

I remember John mostly from playing summer Parks & Rec Co-ed softball in
Pullman & Moscow.  Over a decade (I think 15 years) of Summer & Fall
weather, outdoor fun and good people.
I wish all his family & friends well in these days of worry&sorrow.

(I would like to propose a local "movement" - an art "installation"- of
emails for the City of Moscow.  Upon an official word of either his survival
or his death, People email the Idahonian (not all at once - take time to
compose! & don't crash their server!) a posting, a tribute, a personal
narrative of John's impression upon them.  I ask of the Moscow Daily News,
to install a virtual Healing Place if he is found injured, or a mausoleum
[including architectural detailing] if he is found deceased, on a website.
I also ask that the Moscow Chamber of Commerce help coordinate the
strategies to accomplish this effort with the assistance of the City of
Moscow along with other local institutions and organizations.  This
continuance, a virtual library & part of the history of Moscow, is dedicated
to Him.  I will soon be mailing [regular] my contribution to the Moscow
Chamber, for the John Dickinson Philanthropic Fund for Sustainability.  If
the Foundation never establishes, my contribution can go to the Chambers'
choosing.)
