Speaking of names for sandbars...looks like we can't call it "The Sandbar"... because:

Here's the news on the new name for the HR Sandbar?

Here is what was supposed to happen:

"But the moniker “Sandbar” just has never seemed to capture, in title, the spirit of the place — that is, according to Hood River Mayor Arthur Babitz. Babitz, who is proposing finding a new name for the 60-acre delta-style landmass found just off the end of the Hood River where it empties into the Columbia, plans to remedy that.
“We can’t make this a legal name; we don’t have the power to do that; but we can still hold a contest and a ceremony,” said Babitz, hoping the formal recognition by the city would “stick” even in lieu of a printed name on a map.
The timing of Babitz’s proposal allows his vision to be in place before Nov. 7 — the five-year anniversary of the initial appearance of the sandbar following a massive flood.
Residents and visitors alike may submit names for consideration either in person at the Hood River News, or via the contest-dedicated email inbox at: contests@hoodrivernews.com, or through links on any Hood River News social media site.
Deadline for submission is Sunday, Oct. 9. Panel review and selections will occur Oct. 10 to Oct. 16. Public voting on top contenders will begin Oct. 17 and close Oct. 21. The winning name will be announced Oct. 24 at the Hood River city council meeting and on the News website."

And:

Here is a link to the minutes of the Oct 24 meeting, with no announcement of the new name for the Sandbar…What happened?

BUT:

Here is what did happen, from the HR newspaper, Nov 9:
…………….
http://www.hoodrivernews.com/ns/opinions/8261/editorial-admire-the-sandbar-and-respect-it

…………………
"I, Arthur Babitz, mayor of the City of Hood River, do hereby proclaim by whatever authority I might have in this situation, that this sandbar shall heretofore be known as The Sandbar. I further encourage all residents and visitors to Hood River to enjoy sports and leisure activities on The Sandbar for as long as it shall grace our waterfront."

So, a precident has been set for naming sandbars, and just to avoid confusion, I would suggest that we call the White Salmon sandbar "The WSandbar".
