2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 2015 Nehalem mayor dies of stroke OBITUARIES Shirley Kalkhoven an ‘irreplaceable’ public servant NEHALEM — Nehalem Mayor and longtime public servant Shirley Kalkhoven, 87, has died. She was found unre- sponsive in her home Monday and was rushed to Providence Seaside Hospital, where doc- tors determined she had suf- fered a stroke, according to local news reports. “I have served several may- ors in my 25 years, and she was everything a mayor should be and more,” Nehalem City Man- ager Dale Shafer said. “She’s going to be irreplaceable.” Kalkhoven served as the city’s mayor for 10 years and served on the Nehalem City Council for 10 years before that. In August, the state of Oregon honored her with the Mayor’s Leadership Award, for which Shafer nominated her. Kalkhoven’s civic roles and accomplishments are ex- tensive. She was the immediate past president of the Oregon May- or’s Association and a past president of the League of Or- egon Cities. She was a mem- ber of the Northwest Regional Solutions Advisory Council and Chairwoman of the Tilla- mook County Futures Council. In addition, she had been the chairwoman of the North- west Area Commission on Transportation since 2007, chairwoman of the League of Oregon Cities Water Waste- water Policy Committee, a member of the League of Or- egon Cities Transportation Committee and a member of the Board of Col-Pac Econom- ic Development Commission, representing Tillamook Coun- ty small cities, according to Shafer’s nomination letter. The list goes on. “She was a tiger,” State Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-Scap- poose) wrote in an email to a re- porter. “The 17th Street Pier is a result of Shirley’s participation in the Connect Oregon process. There was a deep connection between Astoria and Shirley’s work on transportation. Tilla- mook County has lost a fero- cious advocate on transporta- tion and other issues.” “She is one of the most amazing women that I have ever known,” said her friend Tillamook County Commis- sioner Mark Labhart. He noted how rare it is for a person in her 80s to be as “active and vi- brant and engaged in her com- munity, in her county and in her state” as was Kalkhoven. “I wish we could all strive to achieve what she has done, to be as active as she has been.” A memorial service will be held at the Port of Tillamook %D\ 2I¿FHUV 0HVV +DOO LQ Tillamook at 1 p.m. Sunday. Waud’s Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. “It’s a sad day for Tilla- mook County.” Labhart said. “We’ve lost a great leader for Oregon.” Estimated jackpot: $1 million WASHINGTON Monday’s Daily Game: 3-8-8 Monday’s Hit 5: 22-31-32- 34-35 Estimated jackpot: $100,000 Monday’s Keno: 08-10-11- 15-16-18-21-26-33-35-40-41- 42-51-53-54-64-67-72-75 Monday’s Lotto: 07-10- 21-22-32-35 Estimated jackpot: $5.8 mil- lion Monday’s Match 4: 12-15- 20-22 Shirley Kalkhoven Lotteries OREGON Monday’s Pick 4: 1 p.m.: 9-0-1-2 4 p.m.: 8-1-0-3 7 p.m.: 4-5-7-7 10 p.m.: 3-1-5-0 Monday’s Megabucks: 05-17-25-28-34-38 ACCUWEATHER ® FORECAST FOR ASTORIA Astoria 5-Day Forecast Tonight A little evening rain; otherwise, cloudy 44° Wednesday Oregon Weather Shown is tomorrow’s weather.
