Port OK with adding chairman
to lawsuit by ¿ red employee
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The Port of Astoria Com-
mission’s Chairman John Raichl
will likely become a defendant
in the lawsuit ¿ led by ¿ red Port
employee Tammie Herman.
The Port and Michael
Weston, the agency’s director
of business development and
operations, are being sued in
two separate cases by Herman,
a former facilities manager, and
Colleen Browne, the agency’s
former ¿ nancial manager.
Browne’s case is headed to-
ward a settlement, with further
details unavailable.
Herman’s lawyer, Anne Fos-
ter, ¿ led a motion for an amend-
ed complaint earlier this month
asking to add Raichl as a defen-
dant. The amended complaint

gral part in actions taken against
Herman, and that he knew of
several occurrences of retalia-

the additional claim of post-em-
ployment retaliation is without
merit, futile and should be de-
nied by the court.
“Mere threats and harsh
words are insuf¿ cient to show
that an employee suffered an
adverse employment action,”
Downs wrote in his response,
adding Herman’s motion does
not include any allegations that
Hunsinger’s supposed com-
ments were anything more than
an isolated incident.
Downs said the alleged ob-
scenity by Hunsinger has no
established link with her alleged
whistleblowing against the P ort.
“Likewise, here the alleged
comment was made 10 months
after plaintiff was discharged
and approximately 14 months
after plaintiff allegedly engaged
in protected activity,” Downs’
response said.
The trial for Herman’s case
is scheduled to start in Novem-
ber 2016.

Barbara Nelson Walters passed peacefully
on Oct. 9, 2015, at Redmond, Oregon, Medical
Center, after her chronic obstructive pulmo-
nary disease could no longer be managed.
Barbara was born in Astoria, Oregon, to Al-
fred and Martha Nelson, on June 21, 1952. She
attended Lewis and Clark Consolidated, then
went on to Astoria High School class of 1970.
She enjoyed spending her time outside in
her garden, woodworking, doing hand crafts,
art projects and reading. Barb was ¿ ercely inde-
pendent, had a quick wit and loved a good joke.
She also was a great cook and made the world’s
best salsa, with peppers and tomatoes from her
garden. When asked what she would like for
Christmas or a birthday, Barb would always
choose to receive a power tool over jewelry, or
anything else, for her many craft projects.
Her heart was always with the animals,
whether it be watching and feeding the
wild birds in the yard or taking care of her
dogs, cats, and the many other animals they
had throughout the years. Barb loved family
and friends, and even when health concerns
limited her ability to travel, she always kept in
touch.
She is survived by her husband of 29 years,
Michael Walters of Madras, Oregon; stepson
Spenser Walters, wife Karrie, with grandsons
Conner and Hudson; stepdaughter Stephanie
Ross, husband Bob, and granddaughter Audry
Anna; brother Ken Nelson of Astoria, Oregon;
sister Deb Nelson of Casa Grande, Arizo-
na; eight nieces and nephews; 18 grandnieces
and nephews; and many cousins and friends.
Her older brother Alfred Nelson passed in
2013.
In honor of her great love of animals, if you

Desert Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation,
