THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2015 NORTH COAST 3A Man sentenced to College meeting had hellos, goodbyes two years for meth, heroin delivery The Daily Astorian Clatsop Community College said farewell to its president of five years and two veteran board mem- bers last week. Former President Law- rence Galizio, whose last day was July 8, attended to give plaques to Paul Gil- lum and Frank Satterwhite, both of whom served on the board 16 years. Gil- lum was replaced by Anne Teaford-Cantor, who was sworn in July 14. Also sworn in after running un- opposed in May’s election were Robert Duehmig, Satterwhite’s appointed replacement; Seaside Pub- lic Library Director Esther Moberg; former college nursing program head Karen Burke; and Tessa James Scheller,. Galizio, who started at the college in 2010, start- ed this month as the presi- dent and CEO of the Com- munity College League of California. The college board voted unanimously to contract Gerald Ham- ilton as the interim presi- dent for the coming year, starting in August. Mean- while, the college contin- ues the search for a long- term president. The college board ap- proved a social media pol- icy for staff and students and slightly adjusted its vision and mission state- ments. The board also ad- opted goals for 2015-16 to: • Hire a new president; • Celebrate and recog- nize contributions and ac- complishments that help the success and future of the college; • Secure the best finan- cial base for long-term economic stability of the college; • Promote a college community committed to the health, diversity, dig- nity and the worth of every person.

Both vol- unteered for 16 years on the college’s governing body. An Astoria man was sen- tenced in Clatsop County Cir- cuit Court to two years in pris- on for unlawfully delivering substantial amounts of meth- amphetamine and heroin. Michael Anthony Konecny possessed 35 grams of meth- amphetamine, 15 grams of heroin, $1,500 in cash and drug transaction records or customer lists, according to his indictment. Konecny, 27, pleaded no contest to unlaw- ful delivery of methamphet- amine and heroin, before be- ing sentenced last week. He was charged for the unlawful delivery in March 2014, and had to be extradit- ed from Texas, where he was staying at the time. Deputy District Attorney Dawn Buzzard said drug charges do not often result in prison time, but the fact that Michael Anthony Konecny Konecny had such a substan- tial quantity made the prison sentence possible. Unlawful delivery of methamphetamine and heroin are felony charges. In 2009, Konecny was sen- tenced in Clatsop County to three years probation for plead- ing no contest to third-degree sodomy. The charge related to him reportedly having sex with a juvenile. As part of the sentence, Konecny had to register as a sex offender. Shrimping vessel sinks near Tillamook National Guard hosts The Daily Astorian TILLAMOOK — The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three ¿shermen from the ves- sel Flying Fish in Tillamook Bay Tuesday. The Garibaldi-based ¿sh- ing crew made a mayday call to the Coast Guard Tuesday afternoon, saying their ves- sel was taking on water. The Coast Guard diverted an MH- 60 Jayhawk helicopter from Air Station Astoria and a 47- foot motor lifeboat from Sta- tion Tillamook Bay. The he- licopter hoisted the ¿shermen and Àew them to awaiting medical services at Station Tillamook Bay. The motor lifeboat reached the last known position of the Flying Fish, which by then had sunk and left an oil sheen and a debris ¿eld. The vessel was carrying 10,000 pounds of shrimp and an unknown amount of fuel when it sank. The cause of the sinking is still unknown. The reported weather conditions included 6- to 10-foot seas, 11-mph winds and gusts up to 27 mph. “This case is an excellent example of what to do in an emergency on the water,” Lt. Cmdr. James Gibson, a Jay- hawk pilot, said in a state- ment. “The ¿shermen con- tacted the Coast Guard in a timely manner, were prepared with an emergency beacon, a back up radio, life jackets and immersion suits. Their prepa- ration helped ensure their safety and made it easy for us to ¿nd them.” ually abused her during a massage. Donald Jacob Hughes, of Astoria, is being charged with third-degree sex abuse. He works as a massage therapist at the Cannery Pier Hotel. “Obviously when a person works in a trusted position such as a massage therapist and that trust is broken, we become concerned that there could be other people who have experienced similar in- appropriate behavior,” Asto- ria Police Deputy Chief Eric Halverson said. Anyone who believes that Hughes inappropriately touched them during a massage visit is encouraged to contact Detective Nicole Riley at 503-325-4411 or nriley@astoria.or.us.

The radios were funded by a National Tsunami Haz- ard Mitigation Program grant through the National Weather Service. “Children and those who are frail, elderly, disabled, impoverished, disenfran- chised — this is the popu- lation in every community against whom disasters dis- criminate,” Emergency Man- ager Tiffany Brown said. “Di- saster planning for vulnerable populations represents some of the most crucial work we do in emergency manage- ment.” Recipients included Coast Rehabilitation Services, Sea- side School District, Sunset Empire Transportation Dis- trict, Lower Columbia His- panic Council, Astoria Warm- ing Center, as well as local assisted-living facilities, fos- ter care homes and low-in- come housing managers. The radios provide regu- lar weather updates but are also programmed to broadcast messages issued by the feder- al emergency alert system for a wide range of events, includ- ing storms, ¿res and tsunamis as well as Amber Alerts and other special announcements. The radios will receive alerts for Clatsop, Paci¿c and Tillamook counties. This is the county’s sec- ond radio distribution project — local businesses in the tsu- nami-inundation zone were targeted in the ¿rst giveaway. “Planning is an ongoing aspect of emergency manage- ment, and we have more work ahead,” Brown said. “With that in mind, the biggest high- light of this project has been partnering with enthusiastic, dedicated advocates and pro- viders eager to serve those who are less able than others to safeguard their own needs and interests.” The Emergency Manage- ment Division still has a small number of weather radios available for organizations or facilities serving vulnerable populations. Those wanting to know if they qualify can contact the division at 503-325-8645. camp for at-risk youth Camp Rosenbaum start- ed in 1970 as a way to help at-risk youth living in public housing in the region. “There is no other camp in the U.S. that’s as collab- orative nor as determined as we are to keep kids off drugs and in school,” Oregon Air National Guard Lt. Col. Sara Perkins, the camp director, said. All campers attend a two- hour Gang Resistance and Education Training course, taught by a Portland Police of¿cer, and receive mentor- ship to contribute to their communities in positive ways. “We do our very best to set them up for success,” Per- kins said. “We model good citizenship behaviors, engage and motivate our campers and encourage them to make good decisions for their future and fend off peer pressure. We want our campers to know that good citizens are every- where in their community.” The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — This week, an annual summer camp for underprivileged and at-risk youth is continu- ing to make a difference at Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center. Camp Rosenbaum will host about 160 children, ages 9 to 11, through Friday. The camp aims to teach good citizenship skills by motivating the children to stay in school, remain drug- free, stay out of gangs and set positive goals for the fu- ture. Staff and volunteers from the Oregon Air National Guard, Portland Police Bu- reau, Home Forward (former- ly the Housing Authority of Portland), and other housing authority employees through- out Oregon and Southwest Washington along with lo- cal law enforcement and ¿re agencies host the summer camp.

Bacteria which accumulate with food form a sticky film called plaque which leads to gum disease. This process creates what is known as volatile sulfur compounds resulting in bad breath. Poor brushing habits, a coated tongue, strong odor foods, smoking and heavy alcohol drinking all contribute to bad breath.
