Seaside businesses pitch
in for Goodding family
Posalski encouraged people to
help support the family. At the
Tsunami Sandwich Co., also
owned by Posalski, 50 percent
of sales Tuesday were slated for
the Gooddings.
“We knew of¿cer Goodding
and we have lots of friends who
are very close with him,” Posal-
ski said.
He said he feels it is import-
ant, as a community, to show
support for the fallen of¿cer’s
family.

SEASIDE — The Human
Bean in Seaside was one of sev-
eral businesses along the North
Coast to step up and support
the family of Seaside Police
Sgt -ason *oodding the of¿cer
killed in the line of duty Friday.
The business donated 100
percent of Monday’s proceeds
to the Goodding family, “to help
with any expenses they may have
in their time of need,” Adam
Israel posted on Facebook. He
and his wife, Kristi, own and run
the business, and they were good
friends with Goodding.
“We didn’t look at him like a
cop,” Kristi Israel said, describ-
ing him as a good and well-loved
person.
By the end of the day, The
Human Bean had raised a whop-
ping $9,624 to honor the fallen
police of¿cer.
Goodding and Adam Israel
played together for several years
in the local Pig Bowl charity
game, and the friendship devel-
oped from there.
“It’s nice we can do this,”
Kristi Israel said.
The Israels encouraged peo-
ple to stop by during the day
and share a story or “a Good-
ding-like smile for our fallen
hero, coach, father, athlete role
model and friend,” according to
the Facebook page.
Green and yellow
To commemorate Good-
ding’s dedication to the Uni-
versity of Oregon Ducks, The
Human Bean staff wore green
and yellow. Some of “the guys’
best memories” were attending
Ducks games, Kristi Israel said.
As of late Monday afternoon,
the shop had seen lots of traf¿c,

including some staff from Prov-
idence Seaside Hospital, where
Goodding’s wife is employed as
a nurse. Some people did not get
coffee but still made donations
to the Goodding family. Some
people “paid forward,” leaving
donations to cover future orders
from law enforcement personnel
to “keep them hydrated” while
they serve the community, Kristi
Israel said. Kristi Israel said the
outpouring of support from the
local community is an example
of what makes Seaside special.
“We moved back here for
that reason,” she said. “Every-
body looks out for each other.”
Donation jars were set up at
The Human Bean in Warrenton,
as well.
The spirit was contagious,
as Divine Grounds on Junction
Road in Seaside planned a sim-
ilar fundraiser Wednesday, com-
mitting 100 percent of income
from sales to the Goodding fam-
ily. Additionally, Benson Truck-
ing promised to match whatever
amount Divine Grounds raised.
The Crabby Oyster donated
50 percent of total sales from
Monday and Tuesday to the
Gooddings, and owner David
Dance went on
The Sunset Empire Park &
Recreation District hosted its
annual Daddy Daughter Dance
on Saturday, less than 24 hours
after Goodding’s death. Execu-
tive Director Skyler Archibald
said the staff struggled to deter-
mine whether to cancel the event.
That’s one of the challenges of
living in a small community
— when something tragic hap-
pens, “it feels really close and
personal,” Archibald said. They
kept it as scheduled, particu-
larly because the dance is a spe-
cial time for young girls and their
fathers, or father ¿gures, to make
memories together. The district
instead designated 25 percent
of proceeds for the Goodding
family and took donations at the
door. Attendees received tiny
blue ribbons to pin to their out¿ts
in remembrance of Goodding.
Area resident Toni Bennett
also is organizing a meal train
for the family, to provide them
a meal once a day. Meals will
be dropped off at her house in
Gearhart, and then Bennett will
deliver them to the Gooddings’
home. The preferred delivery
time is 4 to 5 p.m. For more
information, visit www.meal-
train.com/trains/89rkr2.
The
city,
meanwhile,
announced that all public build-
ings will be closed Friday in
honor of Goodding. Memorial
services are planned for 1 p.m. at
the Seaside Civic and Conven-
tion Center.
Ferry: Had a history of various arrests

factors in the criminal justice
system. Ferry, for example, was
never convicted of a crime that
carried a mandatory prison term.
Not having enough beds
in the Clatsop County Jail is
another inÀuence, since it places
pressure on authorities to release
inmates.
The larger problem, accord-
ing to Marquis, is the state Leg-
islature putting a priority on pro-
grams that incentivize keeping
criminals out of prison, specif-
ically the justice reinvestment
program.
“The program rewards dis-
trict attorneys and probation of¿-
cers for not sending people to
prison,” Marquis said. “That is
the mindset that is dominating
the Oregon Legislature.”
Review planned
Looking at his own of¿ce,
Marquis plans to review the
nearly 40 cases ¿led against
Ferry in Clatsop County to see
the recommended charges and
sentences.
In the most recent incident
in Clatsop County, Ferry faced
charges for unlawful possession
of an explo-
sive device
for what was
described
as “half of a
bomb,” Mar-
quis said. “It
Phillip Max
was not a
Ferry
sophisticated
IED (improvised explosive
device) or anything like that,” he
said.
Ferry had C4, a plastic explo-
sive, that he buried in an acquain-
tance’s yard in Hamlet.
The District Attorney’s
Of¿ce wanted to charge Ferry
with a felony for the C4, which
may have resulted in prison
time. However, the Oregon State
Police bomb squad does not con-
sider C4 a destructive device.
Ferry was instead charged with
a misdemeanor of unlawful pos-
session of explosives. He served
28 days in jail and got a proba-
tion violation.
History with weapons
There was “no way” Ferry
had a gun permit at the time of
the shooting Friday, Marquis
said. “He was a multiple con-
victed felon,” he said.
“It would have been ille-
gal for him to have any kind of
¿rearm. The Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms — the
feds — have two agents helping
us track down the gun.”
According to police reports,
Ferry may have had a history of
illegally dealing ¿rearms.
The acquaintance who
reported the explosives last fall
told of¿cers Ferry was in posses-
sion of two automatic weapons,
possibly AK-47s, and two hand-
guns. The acquaintance said she
heard Ferry sold one of the hand-
guns to a member of the Gypsy
Joker Motorcycle Club without
the clip. When the biker found
out the gun came without the
clip, reports show, he threatened
to kill Ferry.
Ferry reportedly found the
clip and gave it to the Joker.
Ferry, who has a history of
auto theft, drug and weapons
arrests, lived in numerous loca-
tions over the past 20 years, with
addresses in Seaside and Ham-
let. His last known address was
Restoration House, a homeless
center in Seaside, Marquis said.

and Coastal Family Health
Center.
“My plan was to use some
of our resources to get this
going and then turn it over to
the community,” Tucker said.
“That is where we are right
now.”
The Lewis and Clark
National Historical Park
Association donated about
$2,000 to start offering park
prescriptions. With a doc-
tor’s permission, people can
get an Oregon Coast Pass that
is good for one year of free
parking at state and national
parks on the North Coast.
For prescriptions to the
recreation centers in Asto-
ria and Seaside, funds came
from a $10,000 Providence
Health and Services grant.
Those with a prescription will
receive a $50 punch card to
the recreation centers, giv-
ing people an introduction to
health resources in Clatsop
County.

age people to be bet-

Way to Wellville director,
said.
The prescription pads
have been printed, and could

as next month. The partners

out ¿nal details.
Looking ahead, Tucker
said, additional funding will
be sought to study the pro-
gram and determine the

October 2009, with an option
to buy afterward.
Knight, estimating that
it would take $12 million to
repair the World War II-era
seaplane base, said he has been
approached by multiple groups
with grand schemes, from
dismantling ships to spend-
ing upward of $500 million to
develop North Tongue Point
into a modern shipping facility.
“We’re going to have to
make some decisions about
the long-term acquisition of
Tongue Point,” Knight said,
adding the Port could prob-
ably save money by taking
out a loan with the state to buy
the property rather than con-
tinue paying the $350,000
annual lease.
In 2008, Washington Devel-
opment Co. wanted more than
$7 million for North Tongue
Point. The price has been
quoted as low as $5 million and
in 2014 had an appraised land
value of more than $6.2 mil-
lion. Another appraisal would
be required before a sale.
The goal of making North
Tongue Point self-sustaining
remains tenuous.
J.E. McAmis, a marine con-
tractor that has been at Tongue
Point since the 1980s, is mov-
ing to a larger facility it pur-
chased at the conÀuence of
the Cowlitz and Columbia
rivers in Longview, Wash-
ington, after failing to reach a
long-term deal with the Port.
Paci¿c Seafoods, which relo-
cated to North Tongue Point
in 2013 after the company’s
plant in Warrenton burned
down, intends to rebuild. Prop-
erty Manager Shane Jensen
said tenants know they can-
not extend their leases with the
Port beyond 2019.
The North Tongue Point
property, with the Port unable
to ¿nance modernization
or land a big developer, has
mostly underperformed while
playing host to multiple false
starts. The most recent was

oper Huy Ying Chen’s ambi-
tious proposal to use a federal
immigrant investor program to

Executive Director Mark Ter-
ranova said.
“We are a clean and sober
house and when he comes out
of jail, the corrections depart-
ment uses us to house people,”
Terranova said. “They used us
to house Phil for a period of
time, but he could never stay
clean so he lost his housing.”
After leaving Restoration
House, Ferry used addresses
in Seaside on Third Street and
Avenue I.
Ferry was last seen on the
Restoration House property 10
days ago. He was kicked out
by one of Restoration House’s
managers after siphoning gas
out of a car, Terranova said.
“He was a complicated
man with a lot of issues,” Ter-
ranova said. “When certain
types of personalities keep
drinking and using (drugs), it’s
not safe for the community and
that’s the number one priority,
as far as I’m concerned.”
Asked to leave
Under supervision
Terranova said that if the
house can’t help people, then
they can’t live there.
“It’s often a discussion
between corrections, the
courts, what’s best for the
community,” he said. “When
it becomes a situation where
all the wraparound services
fail, then we can’t have him or
anyone like that living here.”
Ferry was compliant
during his time at the house
and when asked to leave, Ter-
ranova said.
Since the shooting, police
have asked questions at Res-
toration House as part of the
investigation.
Terranova also knew Sgt.
Jason Goodding, the of¿cer
who was killed. “He would
come here on occasion,
whether to come for emer-
gency calls or dealing with
individuals in the streets. He
was a ¿ne young man, and it’s
a great loss,” he said.
According to state Depart-
ment of Corrections Com-
munications Manager Betty
Bernt, Ferry was on post-
prison supervision since
October 2012 and would have
been under supervision until
June.
John Orr, an attorney in
Astoria, knew both Goodding
and Ferry. “He was a diligent,
thoughtful and intelligent of¿-
cer,” Orr said. “That combina-
tion of qualities made him an
irreplaceable asset to the law
enforcement community.”
Orr was one among many
lawyers who represented
Ferry over the years.
“There is attorney-cli-
ent privilege that survives
the death of the represented
party,” Orr said. “I can say
that his problems appear to
have derived from chronic
substance abuse, which over
time, took its toll on his
faculties.”
turn the property into a modern
barging and cold storage facil-
ity. The deal fell apart amid
conÀicting statements by both
parties and Chen’s preference
to buy rather than lease the
property from the Port.
Commissioner
Robert
Mushen said the Port should
enter warp speed in trying to
acquire Tongue Point, adding
the county could likely support
a general obligation bond to
help the Port buy the property.
Commissioner
James
Campbell, who owns Camp-
bell Towing & Marine Con-
struction and used to be based
at Tongue Point, said he doesn’t
think railroads, already running
at near maximum capacity on
busier routes, will ever return
to Tongue Point.
Others
worry
about
competition.
“There aren’t many facil-
ities like Tongue Point on the
Columbia River,” Commis-
sioner Bill Hunsinger said.
“We don’t want someone com-
ing in and going into direct
competition with us.”
