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. With a
decline in burials as more peo-
ple choose cremation, and

taining the cemetery, the city
has made the cemetery’s future
part of the discussion of a new
parks master plan.
Anne Clarke remembers
when Ocean View was beauti-
ful, a source of pride for Asto-
ria and the families who chose
to make the lakeside expanse

Clarke’s father, Edgar
Frank “Bud” Olson, was from
Astoria, and is buried at Ocean
View along with her mother
and other generations in the
Olson line.
The Clarkes have plots for

planting black locust trees near
their daughter’s grave, they
switched to evergreens a few
years back.
Anne Clarke said she is
willing to work with other
Ocean View families on
options to help the city main-
tain the cemetery. The Parks
and Recreation Department
has apologized to the Clarkes
and offered to discuss plant-
ing trees in another part of the
cemetery to honor Tara Valen-
tine Clarke, who died of brain
cancer in 2006.
“My heart is broken,” Anne
Clarke wrote in a letter she
shared with The Daily Asto-
rian Friday afternoon. “Ten
years have passed this August.
We thought that we had
invested in what we believed
to be a stately, well cared for,
historically important place in
our Oregon history.”

Defense is key
Astoria will now face a
whole new set of challenges
with Seaside, the tourna-
ment’s No. 2 seed. 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. That will be a key in our
next games.”

The Gulls are “great

will be fun.”
Of the four teams on
Astoria’s half of the bracket,
three are from the Cowapa

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.”
