10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN MONDAY, MARCH 7, 2016 Cemetery: It has more than 16,000 plots, 100 acres Continued from Page 1A In December, however, councilors declined to release the money, fearing it would be wasted unless the city made a commitment to upkeep. City Councilor Russ War, who has been the most vocal about keeping the city’s prom- ise to provide perpetual care for the families that have bought plots at Ocean View, urged councilors not to release the money. Assigning a cemetery superintendent to Ocean View would help ensure perpet- ual care and reduce misunder- standings like cutting down the Clarkes’ trees. But dedi- cating staff to the cemetery, which lost its last full-time worker in 2013, could come at the expense of police, public works or other city priorities. “It’s a tough question. And I don’t have a ready answer and I’m involved on both sides,” said Warr, the owner of Astoria Granite Works, which makes headstones and grave markers. “So what do you do?” Cosby told the City Council in an email that parks staff will be posting rules and regulation signs on cemetery grounds, “but without enforcement or oversight,” she wrote, “there is no guarantee that compliance will be obtained. “Our maintenance divi- sion’s responsibilities are so far-reaching that it is unfeasible to have anyone at the cemetery unless there are burial or mow- ing activities taking place.” 100-acre cemetery has more than 16,000 plots.

The Gulls have beaten Astoria in two of three meetings this year. “Our defense has been our bread and butter,” Goin said. “We seem to defend really well.

It will be fun.” Of the four teams on Astoria’s half of the bracket, three are from the Cowapa League (Scappoose defeated Newport). “It will be teams we’ve seen before,” Goin said. “I’m looking forward to it, and I’m so happy those guys (Scap- poose and Seaside) got there as well. It really represents our league well, that all three will be there. We’ll see what happens.” Seaside 58, La Grande 43 SEASIDE — The “Year of the Gull” is alive and well.
