most are the simple things.
Staying in the library later
than most, waiting in the caf-

Advice for success? Some
advice I would give to stu-

is an opportunity for you to
get to know yourself. Do not
be afraid of trying new sports,
clubs and classes. Challenge
yourself, and remember ev-
erything is going to be alright.

Raichl said the Port might need
an LNG refueling station to ac-
commodate ships around the
world switching to LNG power
in an effort to run cleaner.
The city of Warrenton
works with its boatyard to treat
stormwater runoff, Port Com-
missioner Stephen Fulton said,
adding that Astoria and the
Port might look into a similar
partnership. The Port is in the
process of developing a new
comprehensive
stormwater
system after being informed by

Mushen said that will not hap-

Commission.
Price said the Port needs to
drop any support for an LNG

“It is a wall between you
and the community that’s not
going away until that project
goes away,” she said, adding
the majority of her constituents
feel like the Port doesn’t listen to
their concerns.
