as Carrie Barnhart.
Astoria Police Chief Brad
Johnston said his department
had responded to several pre-
vious reports that Barnhart
was suicidal. The most recent
being on April 16, when po-
lice found her on the Astoria
Bridge intending to commit
suicide.
At the time, police trans-
ported her to Columbia Me-
morial Hospital for a mental

hours later, police were asked
to return to CMH and take
Barnhart home since Clat-
sop Behavioral was not go-
ing to commit her, Johnston
said.

passersby reported the Mar-
itime Memorial Park was
blocked off while crews, in-
cluding Astoria Fire Depart-
ment, cleared the scene.

Downtown district joins
Main Street Program
The Astoria Downtown
Historic District Association
has been designated an ac-
credited National Main Street
Program by the National Trust
for Historic Preservation. The
downtown association met the
commercial district revitaliza-
tion performance standards set
by the National Main Street
Center, a subsidiary of the trust.
Each year, the National
Main Street Center and its
partners announce the list of
accredited Main Street pro-
grams in recognition of their
exemplary commitment to
historic preservation and com-
munity revitalization through
the Main Street Four Point
Approach, the foundation for
local initiatives to revitalize
their districts by leveraging lo-
cal assets.
“We congratulate this
year’s nationally accredited
Main Street programs for their
outstanding accomplishment
in meeting the National Main
Street Center’s 10 Standards
of Performance,” said Patrice
Frey, president and CEO of the
National Main Street Center.
The Main Street Four Point
Approach includes standards
such as fostering strong pub-
lic-private partnerships, se-
curing an operating budget,
tracking programmatic prog-
ress and actively preserving
historic buildings.

County to participate in statewide emergency radio exercise
Clatsop County Emergency
Management Division will be
one of 27 counties statewide to
participate in a radio operator
exercise Saturday.
The Amateur Radio Emer-
gency Service “QuakeEX I”
exercise is being hosted by the
2UHJRQ 2I¿FH RI (PHUJHQF\
Management.
Radio operators will test
maximum amateur radio emer-
gency communications capabil-
ities in each county. More than
200 people in the 24 counties
along with 14 medical facilities
will be a part of the exercise.
In Clatsop County, the ex-
ercise will take place between
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the county’s
Emergency Operations Center
in Warrior Hall at Camp Rilea.
The event is in preparation
for “Cascadia Rising,” a large
regional exercise designed to
simulate a scenario like the
Cascadia Subduction Zone
earthquake and tsunami that
will drastically impact normal
communication capabilities in
the state.
“We know that when a
Cascadia Subduction Zone
earthquake strikes our state
many of our standard modes
of communication will be
down making the work of the
amateur radio operators ex-
tremely important,” Andrew
Phelps, director of the Oregon
ment and response efforts.
“This is the largest statewide
emergency communication ex-
ercise of its kind Oregon has
ever conducted,” said Terry
Pietras, OEM communications
RI¿FHU ³7KLV WUDLQLQJ ZLOO SUR-
vide a realistic experience that
tests the capabilities of county
and state amateur radio auxilia-
ry emergency communications
units to prepare for a worst case
scenario like Cascadia.”
2I¿FH RI (PHUJHQF\ 0DQ-
agement, said.
A Cascadia earthquake with
a magnitude of 9.0 or larger
will likely cut-off all forms
of communication other than
amateur radio, according to
WKH VWDWH 2I¿FH RI (PHUJHQF\
Management.
About 1,000 of 18,000 li-
censed amateur radio operators in
Oregon are registered and trained

the Downtown Association’s

ing recognized on a national
level is an incredible honor,

There will be a memorial showing of Seddy’s
namesake movie,”Young Frankenstein” at the
Columbian Theater on April 26th at 2:00pm.
Everyone is welcome. Anyone wishing to honor
his memory can make a contribution to Clatsop
Animal Assistance at www.dogsncats.org
He loved his work, because he
loved each and every person
who came through the door.
Many coming ‘just’ to see Seddy.
On his days off, he enjoyed
chasing squirrels in the back
yard and running through the
surf at the beach near Surf
Pines. But mostly he loved his
job greeting people.
He had many fans, and he
will be deeply missed.
