10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2016 Clash: ‘One win closer to a league championship’ Continued from Page 1A Still, a 3-pointer by Kyle Strange and a layup by Derek Jarrett gave Astoria an early 9-5 lead. But the lead was short-lived, as the Gulls answered with a 12-0 run for a 17-9 lead, and never trailed again. Thompson started the rally with a 3-pointer, and ended it with a 3-pointer, as the junior guard had 11 of his 20 in the ¿rst Tuarter. The Fishermen kept it close, for a while. Jarrett’s 3-pointer had Astoria within 21-17, but Jack- son Januik knocked down a short jump shot, fed Thomp- son for another two, then made two free throws and another jumper for a 29-19 lead. Attikin Babb banked in a 3-pointer, and everyone pretty much knew it was going to be Seaside’s night. Just as they expected. “Our kids have been look- ing forward to this game for about 2 1/2 weeks,” Wester- holm said, following Astoria’s double overtime win at the Brick House. “After that game, we stayed in the locker room for a long time,” he said. “We sat and talked and sulked and kicked ourselves, but we made it a point that we were going to look forward to this game, but take it one game at a time. To make sure that this game meant something.” And “we put ¿ve wins together to get to this point, and now this puts us one win closer to a league championship.” Should both teams win Thursday, they would play a tie-breaker on a neutral court. Seaside hosts Tillamook (1-8), while Astoria hosts Val- Seaside’s Zach Marston, No. 25, and Jackson Januik, No. 3, get the ball away from Astoria’s Fridtjof Fremstad, No. 12, during the Clatsop Clash in Seaside on Tuesday.

He was a ¿erce compet- itor. Always is. Different guys played well defensively, and it was a good team effort. If Hunter hadn’t been on, some- body else would have picked up the slack.” Meanwhile, Thompson is con¿dent in the way the Gulls are playing. “Jackson was still dishing out great passes, playing great D and controlling our offense … Austin (Eagon) hit some big buckets, Zach (Marston) had some great defensive stops … everyone was playing good. “I was shooting good,” he added. “I was hyped up. If we have a tie-breaker, we’ll be ready for them.” Respite: ‘Anything is going to be a little bit better than nothing’ Continued from Page 1A Memorial Hospital, Providence Seaside Hospital and Greater Oregon Behavioral Health. The Astoria City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to send a letter to the part- nership urging them to consider locked beds before the respite center opens, which could be in April. Rich Mays, the interim county manager, said the part- nership is meeting today to hear from the project manager about how much it would cost to retro¿t the respite center to accommodate locked rooms. City Councilor Drew Her- zig said the idea the respite center would accept violent patients without locked beds — “I guess calling 911 whenever it gets beyond their capacity to control” — seems like “an irra- tional business plan.” City Councilor Cindy Price, whose husband, Clat- sop County District Attorney Josh MarTuis, said last summer that the county was in crisis on mental health, recommended that councilors send the letter. “Anything is going to be a little bit better than nothing, which is what we have now,” Price said after the vote. “But hearing law enforcement, hear- ing Chief Johnston, hearing Josh MarTuis, hearing from the Warrenton City Commission, where this respite center will be located, it’s clear that the lack of the secure beds is going to be a real problem. “And we know that. We’ve had so many incidents.” ‘Extremely disappointed’ Warrenton City Commis- sioner Henry Balensifer said he was extremely disappointed. “Without those locked beds, I have no choice but to oppose the establishment of the center due to the strain on our limited law enforcement resources,” he said in an email. “Without those beds, our police depart- ment will not have the relief promised to our city by CBH when they approached us about the center. “Our city has worked in good faith and understanding that CBH would have facil- ities to handle mental health Cindy Price Henry Balensifer patients whose incidents war- rant police response. Instead, I received word from another jurisdiction that CBH no lon- ger was going to have locked beds at the respite facility. “The fact they changed their plan after the city approved their building plans, and that they never noti¿ed us of their change incensed me. I shouldn’t learn about these things from another jurisdic- tion and it’s nothing short of fraud to tell us we’d have locked beds to allay our con- cerns, only to remove the beds after we sign off on the project. If these beds are not put back into the plan, Warrentonians will suffer.” Nick Benas, the director of business operations at Clat- sop Behavioral Healthcare, said the partnership “is meet- ing today to see how they can make that happen.” Girls Basketball Seaside 51, Astoria 30 SEASIDE — The Seaside Gulls won their ninth straight Clatsop Clash Tuesday, a 51-30 victory over Astoria in a key Cowapa League show- down at the Gulls’ Nest.

Asto- ria Police had responded to Barnhart’s suicide threats four times in the months before her death. The week before Barnhart jumped, police had taken her off the bridge after midnight and brought her to Columbia Memorial Hospital, where she was evaluated by Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare and released after two hours. In another incident, Asto- ria Police wound up buying a former star football player who suffered a mental break- down a bus ticket back to Portland. Police were exas- perated after it appeared that Clatsop Behavioral Health- care and Columbia Memorial Hospital did not have a plan to treat the man, who repeatedly walked out of the hospital over four days. Seaside can take over sole possession of second with a win Thursday over Tillamook (1-8) and an Astoria win over Valley Catholic. The Lady Fishermen (4-5) have locked up fourth place and a spot in the Regional Play-in round.

The Gulls were on ¿re from the Àoor in the ¿rst half, con- necting on 14-of-26 attempts. Paige Ideue hit a short jump shot and sister Jetta followed with a 3-pointer; Sydney Vil- legas connected from the out- side, as did Brittany West, and Bryre Babbitt and Villgas both made jumpers to close out the ¿rst half for a 33-15 lead. Astoria was just 3-for-17 from the ¿eld in the ¿rst half, with 13 turnovers. Villegas led all scorers with 16 points, followed by Utti with 15.

ASTORIA CHIROPRACT I C Ba rry S ea rs , D .C. 503 -3 25-3 3 11 2935 M a rin e Drive, As to ria , Orego n Most insurance plans have a yearly deductible. That is the portion beyond the premiums that you pay before the insurance starts paying. If you have met your deductible this year, now is a good time to take care of any nagging health concerns. It will cost you less than waiting until the new year. The new health law prevents insurance companies from denying you coverage — they cannot drop if you get sick. Don’t delay taking care of your diseases, injuries or concerns — most plans have provisions for chiropractic care. 503/325-0310 1414 MARINE DRIVE, ASTORIA www.smileastoria.com First, acknowledge yourself for considering your dental health. Most importantly, understand that you will be welcomed and given respect, understanding, and accurate information to help you determine your course of action. Dentistry has lots to offer to all who are ready. What are the benefits of having all insurance for your cars, home, jewelry, etc. with one agent? Our clients have found that having one central place to go for any or all questions, concerns, needs or claims critical during times of need. It’s invaluable knowing that whatever may come you will have only one person to look to for help, no shuffling between companies or long holds on the phone. Being a one stop shop for your car, home, life even retirement and mortgages gives clients the peace of mind knowing that if there is something they need, it can be found with someone they know is already invested in their families wellbeing. With that being said, bundled packages such as car and home can save people up to 30%, and we all love to save a little more money to put towards the things that mean the most.

A : Row covers work very well in the early spring as they protect from weather and birds, and they keep the deer out. We offer plastic tunnel hoops that come in 20’ sections which are easy to install and are very economical. Another option is a remay cover which is a spun bond fabric that also protects from hail and birds but it does allow air, rain and sunlight in. Applied at the right time, row covers are also very effective on keeping insects from infesting your root crops like carrots and beets. Q: has been a long Q: It time since I last JEFFREY M.
