By KYLE SPURR The Daily Astorian College library taps Kralik as new director The Daily Astorian Luke Kralik is the new director and head librarian of the Dora Badollet Library on Clatsop Community Col- lege’s main campus. Kralik, who started Aug. 3, replaces Candice Watkins, who recently became direc- tor of Tacoma Community College’s library. Kralik has served as library director and librarian at Tillamook Bay Community College since January 2011. He has also been a reference librarian at Tillamook County Library, school librarian at Sacred Heart School in Medford and a reference librarian at the Jackson County Library. He holds a bachelor’s of ¿ne arts from Southern 2re- gon University and a master’s of library science from Empo- ria State University in Kansas.

The Daily Astorian Consumers will get a re- minder on their water bills to conserve water. The city will also take out an ad in The Daily As- torian outlining sugges- tions to reduce consump- tion. Earlier this month, the City Council unanimously approved voluntary wa- ter conservation recom- mendations after weather forecasters predicted lit- tle rain until the end of 2ctober. The city’s Public Works Department has said wa- ter storage volume is at 95 percent of average for this time of year. But if the lack of rain- fall persists for a few more months, the city might have to impose mandatory water restrictions. The voluntary rec- ommendations include checking faucets and pipes for leaks, only us- ing dishwashers and wash- ing machines with full loads, and not watering lawns. Workshops offered on government contracts The Daily Astorian Federal, state, and local gov- ernment agencies spend millions of dollars every year purchasing goods and services from the pri- vate sector. Clatsop Economic Devel- opment 5esources will host up- coming workshops taught by the Government Contract Assistance Program on helping businesses snag some of that business. The workshops will teach small business owners: The certi¿cations and reg- istrations necessary to sell to the federal, state, and local govern- ments. • How the government pro- cures goods and services. • How to assess the govern- ment marketplace and ¿nd con- tracting opportunities. • About resources to help businesses throughout the pro- cess, from market assessment to pursuing opportunities, and contract award, performance and payment. The workshop runs from 9 to 11 a.m. Aug. 27 on the college’s main campus at 1651 Lexington Ave. in Columbia Hall 5oom 219. From 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 27 in the same location, the contact assistance program will provide step-by-step training on how to use government websites to ¿nd which agencies are buying prod- ucts and services. To schedule a 30-minute, one-on-one counseling session with a procurement counselor at the Government Contract As- sistance Program, contact Car- ley Dirks at 503-344-6618 or cdirks@gcap.org2 Judge Brownhill presented with lifetime achievement award The Daily Astorian Luke Kralik is the new di- rector of the Dora Badollet Library. the Peter Iredale ship- wreck June 18 and dipped their tires in New <ork’s Hudson 5iver Saturday.

In 2003, former Chief Justice Wally Carson appointed Judge Brownhill chair of the State Family Law Advisory Com- mittee. When budget cuts elim- inated all staff support in 2009, Brownhill and other committee members kept it going without staff for six years. Since then, the state court administrator has restored staff, and the committee continues to identify family law issues that need to be addressed and to offer innovative approaches to family law in 2regon. Brownhill was the 2regon Circuit Court Judges Associ- ation president from 2013 to 2014.
