Suspected kidnapper still at large
The Daily Astorian
The 15-year- old girl who
was reportedly kidnapped in
Sanger, Calif., and released at
McDonald’s in Astoria Mon-
day had been reunited with
her family.
Her family drove to As-
toria from Sanger, and are
taking her back home. She is
in good health, according to
Astoria Police.
Police continue to search
for the suspect, Russell
Wayne Deviney of Evertt,
Wash. He remains at large.
Astoria Police are working
with authorities from Sanger
and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
The girl, who had been
missing since Saturday,
walked into McDonald’s in
Astoria Monday evening and
told the staff she had been
kidnapped. Police respond-
ed at 7:32 p.m., contacted
the girl and placed her in
protective custody while her
parents responded from their
home in Sanger.
Police believe Devin-
ey let the girl out at Mc-
Donald’s, left her there and
walked from the area to an
unknown direction at about
7 p.m. He was last seen
wearing a white shirt, blue
jeans, black sweater and an
orange baseball hat.

Seaside to allow medical marijuana dispensaries
Downtown
core may be
excluded
By KATHERINE
LACAZE
EO Media Group
SEASIDE — The Sea-
side City Council passed
legislation allowing medi-
cal marijuana dispensaries
within city limits, but coun-
cilors plan to tackle a new
amendment that would ban
dispensaries from the down-
town core.
At a meeting Monday, the
council voted 5-2 to amend
the city’s business license or-
dinance, which prohibits un-
lawful, illegal or prohibited
businesses, and create a new
chapter to set restrictions for
how, when and where dis-
pensaries can operate. Mayor
Don Larson and City Coun-
cilor Dana Phillips cast the
dissenting votes. The ordi-
nance will go into effect 30
days from Monday.
The new section pro-
vides legal definitions for
marijuana,
dispensary,
cardholders and license and
requires all dispensaries to
be registered in accordance
with state law. Registration
by the Oregon Health Au-
thority, however, does not
guarantee a dispensary is
permitted to operate under
local municipal regulations.
The restrictions in the
chapter are meant to sup-
plement those outlined by
the Oregon Health Author-
ity’s Medical Marijuana
Program, which disallow
dispensaries from being lo-
cated less than 1,000 feet
from a school or one anoth-
er. Some of the operational
requirements include: a new
license must be obtained
each year; no sale or other
distribution of marijuana
shall occur between 8 p.m.
and 8 a.m.; and dispensaries
cannot distribute marijuana
or marijuana-infused prod-
ucts free of charge. Dispen-
saries only can locate in ar-
eas zoned commercial.
During the final public
comment section, Seaside
resident Tim Tolan read a
letter from Clatsop County
District Attorney Josh Mar-
quis, which said he was not
asked for input as the city
crafted the ordinance. Mar-
quis, according to the let-
ter, believes many people
without qualifying medical
conditions are obtaining
marijuana through the med-
ical program. The letter also
posed the question of how
much market saturation
Clatsop County can handle.
According to the health au-
thority’s website, Astoria
has three facilities licensed
to sell marijuana to card-
holders. No other surround-
ing cities have licensed dis-
pensaries. Clatsop County
had 676 patient registrants
as of April 1.
Mark Tolan, owner of
Seaside Vacation Homes,
restated concerns he previ-
ously voiced at the council’s
Meet with Councilor Herzig
The public is invited to meet with Drew Herzig, Astoria City
councilor for Ward 2, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the Flag
Room of the Astoria Public Library, 450 10th St. All are wel-
come to come and share their thoughts, suggestions, questions,
and concerns about Astoria.
April 27 meeting. He does
not believe there is any leg-
islation requiring munici-
palities to grant business li-
censes for medical marijuana
dispensaries.
“Marijuana doesn’t make
this city safer,” he said, add-
ing, “the consequences of
this drug is addiction.”
The legislation, he be-
lieves, is a public state-
ment the council does not
trust the medical bodies
that influence federal pub-
lic health policies, which
currently label marijuana a
Schedule I drug, the same
class as heroin and LSD.
The council should not
feel obligated, he said, to
legalize and license medi-
cal marijuana dispensaries
just because of the forward
progress made so far. Ban-
ning dispensaries, he add-
ed, would not tread on the
rights of an Oregonian to
do what they want in their
own home but “keeps the
industry of addiction out of
our town.”
Tiffany Williams, of As-
toria, countered she believes
locally legalizing medical
marijuana dispensaries will
actually help mitigate the
black market.
“It would be an improve-
ment,” she said. “You would
not make things worse.”
Lois Larson, Mayor Lar-
son’s wife, spoke as a pri-
vate citizen and expressed
apprehension about al-
lowing a dispensary in the
downtown core. Many of
the councilors expressed a
similar concern.

NO! Pre-rinsing is neither
recommended, nor is it required.
The fact of the matter is that
modern dish washing detergents do not
activate properly without some soft food
waste being introduced into the inside the
dishwasher tub during the wash cycle. You
will use more hot water pre-rinsing your
dishes than your dishwasher uses to wash an
entire load... which is usually less than 8-10
gallons per load. You will save money
without wasting a valuable water resource,
and your dishwasher will perform better,
which is what it is designed to do.

dispensaries from operating
within the boundaries of the
city’s Downtown Mainte-
nance District, which ex-
pands from Roosevelt Drive,
along Broadway and Avenue
A to the Turnaround.
Phillips, along with Lar-
son, voted against pass-
ing the legislation. Phillips
voiced concern that neither
the council nor the Seaside
Planning Commission got
input from Seaside Police
Chief Dave Ham to hear his
thoughts.
“We cannot make a hasty
decision about this, because
we’re setting a precedent,”
she said.
The City Council can-
not pass an amendment on
the ordinance until it goes
into effect, but they direct-
ed city staff to start pre-
paring a draft so it can be
considered once 30 days
have passed. Steve Geiger,
whose business, Highway
420 on South Roosevelt
Drive, is registered as a
medical marijuana dispen-
sary with the state, thanked
the council members for the
work they had done mulling
over the topic, taking public
comment and approving an
ordinance.
At the meeting, the coun-
cil also passed a resolution
to establish a fee for med-
ical marijuana dispensary
license applications and
background checks. The fee
for the person who applies
for the license and is legally
responsible for the facility
is $100 and each additional
employee or volunteer will
be charged $50 for their ap-
plication and background
check.
