Lee Beyer, D-Spring- ¿eld, asked the Senate to con- ¿rm Brown’s appointment of Atkinson, who is a Ày-¿sher- man and hunter, former state senator and Republican candi- date for governor. “I think you all know Sen. Atkinson very well for his many years of involvement in this body,” Beyer said. “We certainly all know of his pas- sion for hunting and ¿shing and preservation of wildlife.” Atkinson also has import- ant professional experience as a corporate “turnaround specialist,” and he could use those skills to improve the ¿- nancial outlook at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wild- life, Beyer said. Lawmakers are currently considering how to respond to the agency’s $32 million budget shortfall. The agency has a $345 million pro- posed budget for 2015 through 2017. The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Me- dia Group and Pamplin Media Group. OC EAN C RES T C H EVR OLET | BUIC K | G M C | C AD ILLAC Lower Columbia River. Buck- master also registered as a lob- byist while serving on the board of Salmon for All and although Buckmaster said he was never paid for the work, sport¿shers said this should preclude him from serving as a commissioner. Roblan said the commercial ¿shing industry in southern Oregon appreciated Brown’s appointment of Buckmaster. “His goal has always been to have plenty of ¿sh to share with everybody, because it is very important to our commu- nity,” Roblan said of Buck- master. “This is a person who has been actively engaged in his community wherever he lived, trying to make things better.” Sen. Chris Edwards, D-Eu- gene, said he disagreed with Buckmaster on salmon policy several years ago but would still vote to con¿rm him. “He was an opponent on that particular issue that was tenacious, and he was ¿ghting for what he thought was right,” Edwards said. “I disagreed with him. We prevailed on that issue.” In 2012, Kitzhaber asked the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission to work with its counterpart in Washington to phase out use of gillnets on the main stem of the lower Co- lumbia River and move com- mercial use of the nets into side channels. The Legislature passed a bill in 2013 to imple- ment the changes. Sen. Fred Girod, R-Stay- ton, said he was involved in the effort to ban gillnets on the main stem of the Columbia River and called upon other senators to vote “no” on the Buckmaster appointment. “Everyone here knows I represent a region that has a lot of spawning grounds,” Gi- rod said. “The problem with Mr. Buckmaster is, he wants to go back to the old ways ... You might say that he com- promises, but the people I deal with say he doesn’t com- promise.” 5 03-861-3366 w w w .o ce a n cre s tm o to rs .co m Continued from Page 1A OC EAN C RES T C H EVR OLET | BUIC K | G M C | C AD ILLAC Buckmaster: ‘His goal has always been to have plenty of ¿sh to share with everybody’ Double Cab, 4x4 OC EAN C RES T C H EVR OLET | BUIC K | G M C | C AD ILLAC The deal The sale agreement, ac- cording to documents pre- pared for Washington Coun- ty Circuit Court, authorizes Mary Louise Flavel’s conser- vator to use sale proceeds to cover unpaid and delinquent taxes on the home and pay the city $20,000 toward resolving judgments against Flavel. The conservator, Caroline Evans of Portland, is also au- thorized to pay property taxes for two Flavel properties on Commercial Street. In December, the Astoria City Council approved an agreement with Evans on the sale of the home and the Fla- vel properties on Commercial Street, the heart of the down- town business corridor. The city agreed to forgo collecting the full amount of liens against Flavel, while the conservator pledged to pay the city $40,000 — $20,000 after the sale of the home and $10,000 after each commer- cial property is sold. Evans had set the mini- mum bid for the Flavel home at $180,000. “Having owned the lumber store, they would be the per- fect people to buy the house as far as I’m concerned,” Blair Henningsgaard, the As- toria city attorney, said of Ne- wenhof. The city credited a derelict building ordinance adopted in 2011 for providing the tools needed to corner negligent property owners. The city obtained an abate- ment warrant for the Flavel home in 2012 and essentially took control of the ramshack- le property. But Mary Louise Flavel herself had eluded city of¿cials for years. “I don’t want Astoria to know where I am,” she told a reporter for The Daily Astorian who spoke with her at her Portland-area home in 2012. 5 03-861-3366 w w w .o ce a n cre s tm o to rs .co m Asked how long it might take him to restore the old home, which was purchased “as is,” Newenhof chuckled. “Probably the rest of my life,” he said. A conservator for the el- derly Mary Louise Flavel — the granddaughter of Capt. George Conrad Flavel — had agreed in December to sell the family home to help end a contentious saga with the city over code violations. The four-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 4,644-square-foot home at 627 15th St. has been va- cant since 1990. Built in 1901, the 2 1/2 story Colonial Re- vival-style home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. But the deteriorating prop- erty has been considered a blight on a city that prides itself on historic preservation and where, several blocks to the west, the magni¿cently preserved Flavel House Mu- seum is a popular tourist draw. The museum was the Queen Anne-style home of Capt. George Flavel, the leg- endary Columbia River bar pilot. The home on 15th Street was built for Flavel’s son, George Conrad Flavel, who was also a captain. The two Flavel homes re- Àect both the aspiration and the challenge of preserving Astoria’s past.
