Police searching
for armed home

A masked gunman report-
edly entered a residence on
the 1100 block of Grand Ave-
nue in Astoria Monday night,
demanded money from one
of the residents and then Àed
on foot.
Astoria 3olice responded
to the home invasion robbery
at about 11:22 p.m.
3olice of¿cers contacted
about eight occupants who
said the man entered through
an unlocked door, held the
occupants at gunpoint and
Àed on foot. No one was hurt
during the incident.
The suspect is described as
a white man with pronounced
blue eyes, about 6 feet tall,

180 to 200 pounds, wearing a
camouÀage jacket, dark col-
ored pants and a dark colored
mask.
3olice found a camou-
flage jacket about a block
away from the scene, and
believe it likely belongs to
the suspect.
“Based on the circum-
stances of this robbery we
believe that this location
was targeted and not a ran-
dom act”, Deputy Chief
Eric Halverson said. “This
does not appear to be a ran-
dom thing. Somebody knew
where they were going.”
Anyone who believes they
may have information about
this incident is asked to con-
tact the Astoria 3olice Depart-
ment at 503-325-4411.

Try creating a 20-person
all-star roster of leaders repre-
senting all aspects of Clatsop
County.
Clatsop Community Col-
lege’s governing board at-
tempted the feat Tuesday.
As part of the search for a
long-term president, the col-
lege’s board is assembling an
approximately
20-member
stakeholder community.
The board, meeting in a
work session along with in-
terim president Greg Ham-
ilton, tiptoed over eggshells
trying to come up with names
for the “external stakehold-
er” side of the committee,
balancing male and female;
Astoria, Warrenton, Seaside
and Cannon Beach; North,
South and East county; and
business and government.
Board members sought
names of people who cover
multiple arenas, often poli-
ticians also in the business
world and governing board
representatives.
On the other “internal
stakeholder” side, board mem-
bers fretted over how to rep-
resent the college community.
The stakeholder committee
will include full and part-time
faculty, staff, college founda-
tion members and a student.
“There’s so many good
people who could help us,”
said board member Karen
Burke about the delicate bal-
ancing act the board plays in
assembling the committee.
“We just have to ¿nd a way to
use them all.”
Invites will go out
this week
Leslie Lipe said invites for
the committee will start go-
ing out this week. The college
board votes Sept. 8 on who it
wants on the committee.
The Association of Com-
munity College Trustees, the
search consultant, convenes
community forums in early
October to gauge what the
public wants in a new colle-
giate leader.
“From the input I’m get-
ting, people seem relieved
that we’re diving right in,”
said board member Anne Tea-
ford-Cantor.
The college’s search cal-
endar has it receiving appli-
cations by Jan. 4. Throughout
January, the stakeholder com-
mittee will narrow the ¿eld to
between eight and 12 candi-
dates, interview and ultimately
recommend ¿ve or six names
to the college board.
The board interviews the
candidates, narrowing the
¿eld to three ¿nalists who

Mike Grant, director of
the Clatsop County Assess-
ment and Taxation Depart-
ment, resigned effective
Monday.
Grant joined Clatsop
County in 2010 as a property
appraisal supervisor. County
Manager Scott Somers ap-
pointed Grant as assessment
and taxation director in July
2013.
His background includes
an appraiser position with
the Oregon Department of
Revenue, ownership of real
estate and mortgage broker-
age businesses and serving
as adjunct professor of real
Memory lane
The college last looked
for a president in 2010,
when Greg Hamann left for
Linn-Benton
Community
College. It took the board four
months to whittle applications
down to Galizio, voting 6-1
that summer to hire him.
The lone “no” vote came
from board member Larry
Sparks, who resigned moments
before the end of the same
meeting. Sparks called the
presidential selection process
“politicized” and “corrupted.”
Galizio led the college
through a large, contentious
faculty layoff in 2011, and near
the end of his tenure, a success-
ful construction bond campaign
that helped ¿nance 3atriot
Hall’s ongoing modernization.
