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.

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.

Emergency Management staff delivers free weather radios
The Daily Astorian
Clatsop County Emergen-
cy Management staff recently
delivered 50 weather radios
to local schools, assisted-liv-
ing centers, foster-care homes
and other facilities that serve
the county’s most vulnerable
citizens.
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.”

Basically, all food eaten
begins to be broken down
in your mouth. 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. If this is
you, do something about it by
calling your dentist to schedule an
evaluation.
