2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 2016 ‘Should the city of Astoria build a new library at a cost of $8 to $10 million, or renovate the old one?’ “Renovate the old one. Keep the history.” “I think they could get away with reno- vating the old one. They’ve got better things to spend their money on.” Rob Sturdivant, Astoria THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Alexander Pappas, Astoria “It depends which is the best buy. One thing I do know is we need a good library. It’s very im- portant to a civilization and future generations.” Jean Dominey, Astoria OBITUARIES Richard V. Kearney Betty Lynn Dodge Ann Arbor, Michigan Jan. 20, 1931 — June 30, 2016 Astoria Aug. 28, 1953 — July 3, 2016 Richard V. Kearney passed away on June 30, 2016, at Arbor Hospice in Ann Arbor, Michigan, following a brief illness. Kearney was born on Jan. 20, 1931, in Asto- ria, Oregon, and completed his elementary and secondary education at St. Mary, Star of the Sea School in Astoria, graduating from that school in May 1949. Following a short stay at Ore- gon State University, Kearney worked briefl y in Astoria and later in Seattle, Washington. In 1951, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, spending 18 months in Korea, and returning as a fi rst sergeant in the fall of 1953. Following his discharge from the Army and a short stay working in Astoria, he returned to Seat- tle, where he then spent the better part of his adult life rising to become secretary and treasurer of Westlake Chevrolet. Following his retirement from Westlake, he continued to live in Seattle, moving later from his own residence to Merrill Gardens, a retire- ment home in downtown Seattle, very near to the Space Needle. In early 2016, in failing health, he moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and took up res- idence at Story Point to be near his brother and sister-in-law. Richard is survived by his brother, Philip Kearney, and sister-in-law, Julia Kearney, of Ann Arbor; his niece, Susan Kearney Seeberg (Dan- iel) of Northfi eld, Illinois; his two grand-nieces, Katherine Kearney Seeberg and Jennifer Sim- mons Seeberg of Chicago, Illinois; his grand- nephew, John Kearney Seeberg, also of Chicago; and cousins Barbara Planton of Oregon City, Oregon, and John Pesonen of Seaside, Oregon. Richard’s body has been cremated, and a memorial service and interment of his ashes will be held later in Astoria, Oregon. Muehlig Funeral Chapel in Ann Arbor is in charge of the arrangements.

The Oregon SPJ Board sought those particular media partners because they serve rural Ore- gon, Swindler said. The hour-long debate will be a moderator-panelist for- mat in front of a live audi- ence. Candidates may give a 90-second open statement and a 90-second closing statement. They will fi eld questions from the panel made up of rural jour- nalists. Candidates will have 60 seconds to respond, with a 30-second rebuttal period. The exact location has yet to be fi nalized. The announcement follows controversy over Brown’s decision to skip a July 22 debate sponsored by the Ore- gon Newspaper Publishers Association. That debate has traditionally served as the fi rst debate of the campaign. No other gubernatorial incumbent has declined to appear in the debate since it began 30 years ago, according to ONPA. Brown has said she plans to participate in at least three debates, starting no sooner than Sept. 1, and will consider more on a case-by-case basis. Salem oncologist Bud Pierce has called for a minimum of six debates. Environmental group claims to have sabotaged Oregon lumber mill’s logs EUGENE — A lumber mill west of Eugene has been on high alert since an online claim that an environmental group may put metal spikes inside some of its logs. A group called SAP claimed on an Earth First! website that it revived that strategy on June 11 by plac- ing dozens of spikes in logs at the Swanson Brothers mill in Noti, The Register-Guard reported. The mill operated as usual for two days before learning about SAP’s claim, said Swanson Brothers Pres- ident Larry Konnie. Mill workers have been cautious since then, but no one has found any spikes or evidence that someone trespassed at the mill, said Konnie. He said workers hav- en’t been able to check all the logs in the yard because some are stacked as high as 50 feet, making it dan- gerous for people to climb them looking for spikes. He estimated that the mill has 800 to 900 truckloads of logs because it is stock- ing up to stay busy through winter. “It could be next spring before we run everything,” Konnie said. Konnie said he is wor- ried about his workers, espe- cially the head rig sawyer and spotter, who stay close to the logs as they pass through high-tension band- saws. He said he’s talked to both workers and they said LOTTERIES ON THE RECORD The Associated Press OREGON Tuesday’s Pick 4: 1 p.m.: 4-9-0-1 4 p.m.: 5-0-7-9 7 p.m.: 0-3-3-1 10 p.m.: 8-4-1-0 www.dailyastorian.com Need a Lift? Brown, Pierce agree on debate Gov. Kate Brown and GOP gubernatorial nominee Bud Pierce have agreed to their fi rst debate for the race for the state’s top post. The debate, hosted by the Oregon Territory Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalist, is scheduled for Sept. 24 in Bend. The debate will focus solely on issues facing Oregon’s rural residents. “The Oregon Territory SPJ believes it is important to have an honest and open exchange at the highest levels about the state’s future in rural areas,” said Oregon SPJ President Samantha Swindler. “With more than a month between Roseburg 57/79 Brookings 50/60 Aug 2 John Day 48/87 Bend 46/79 Medford 58/88 UNDER THE SKY Today Hi Lo 87 74 90 70 90 70 93 56 94 75 89 71 101 78 66 51 85 75 88 73 92 74 104 79 76 62 95 80 93 79 90 75 97 80 92 77 98 76 94 76 92 79 91 64 68 55 74 58 91 76 Prineville 49/81 Lebanon 55/74 Eugene 53/76 Last Pendleton 55/82 The Dalles 60/79 Portland 61/73 Sunset tonight ........................... 9:09 p.m. Sunrise Thursday ........................ 5:32 a.m. Coos Bay Moonrise today ........................... 8:12 a.m. 55/65 Moonset today ......................... 10:36 p.m. City Atlanta Boston Chicago Denver Des Moines Detroit El Paso Fairbanks Honolulu Indianapolis Kansas City Las Vegas Los Angeles Memphis Miami Nashville New Orleans New York Oklahoma City Philadelphia St. Louis Salt Lake City San Francisco Seattle Washington, DC Mostly cloudy with a shower Periods of rain Tillamook 54/63 SUN AND MOON High 8.7 ft. 8.0 ft.

Grayson Flory, editor of Earth First! Newswire, said the people behind the website don’t know who is involved with SAP. When asked about the reported log spiking, the Cascadia Forest Defend- ers, an environmental activ- ist group known for protests in the Eugene area, sent a brief email saying it “does not encourage, condone or commit acts of senseless sabotage.” Some environmental- ists turned to such tac- tics during logging debates in the 1990s. They would pound the spikes into live trees, making it potentially dangerous for loggers to cut them down. assault, second-degree disor- derly conduct and menacing after she allegedly chased a man while holding a screwdriver on the 400 block of Bond Street.
