3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2016 Student helps celebrate Seaside High’s 100th year Senior prepares community event to mark high school’s long history By KATHERINE LACAZE For EO Media Group SEASIDE — A hun- dred years ago, Seaside Union High School became a reality for South County families. For her Pacifica Project, 2016 senior class President Alie Zagata research ed the decades that transpired since the school’s foundation in October 1916 . Her work will culminate in a centennial celebration some time in late April or early May. “Seaside High School has really helped me to become the student I am, and I know it has for a lot of other peo- ple,” said Zagata, who is from Manzanita and attends Seaside as an out-of-district student. “I just would like to be a part of celebrating it and marking 100 years of excel- lent education.” Before 1916 Prior to 1916, Seaside had a high school for its local youth, but it was determined by the district and surrounding dis- tricts that a united high school would be the best option for secondary education. Seaside’s Union High School was built within the same property used by the high school today. The “new” building was constructed in the late 1950s, with a few updates completed since then. At the event, Zagata hopes to display memorabilia and a time line that outlines each decade and signi¿ cant aca- demic and sporting events — such as winning state titles — at the high school. The com- munity event also will feature speakers sharing experiences from their tenure at Seaside High School. The idea, Zagata said, is to involve a lot of people in celebrating the high school “and what it has achieved in the past 100 years.” Another senior is spearheading a time capsule project that will be presented during the celebration. Zagata would like the dis- play to be interactive in some way — for instance, using sticky notes for people to write down their stories and place them at the appropriate place Katherine Lacaze/For EO Media Group Senior Class President Alie Zagata is researching Seaside High School’s history and plans to present her work during a community “centennial celebration” event she is organizing for late spring. on the time line. She is researching the his- tory using old yearbooks as her primary source of information, and she also has reached out Hatchery steelhead banned from Grays and Chinook rivers EO Media Group OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will no lon- ger release hatchery-reared steelhead in the Grays River, a decision meant to help pre- serve the wild steelhead pop- ulation near the mouth of the Columbia River. The Chinook River, which À ows into the Columbia 15 miles farther downstream, will also be off-limits to the release of hatchery steelhead now that the department has designated the Grays- Chinook wild steel- head population the state’s newest wild ¿ sh gene bank. That designation, announced Wednesday , is part of a statewide policy to protect self-sustaining populations of wild steelhead by reducing the risk to them posed by hatchery ¿ sh, said Cindy Le Fleur, the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s regional ¿ sh manager. “This is the last of four gene banks currently planned for wild steelhead in the L ower Columbia River Basin,” Le Fleur said. “The department remains committed to produc- ing hatchery ¿ sh for harvest, but we also need to protect wild steelhead against inter- breeding, disease, and compe- tition from hatchery ¿ sh.” Oregon mailers list primary options for unaf¿ liated voters Associated Press EUGENE — Oregon of¿ - cials say they are reminding unaf¿ liated voters that they still have time to register with a political party and participate in the May primary election. The Register-Guard reported that Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins says there are 540,000 unaf¿ liated voters statewide. The state will send mailers that lay out the pri- mary options for those voters. Atkins’ of¿ ce says the mailers are being sent because the Independent Party has decided to open its primary voting to unaf¿ liated voters, while the Oregon Democratic and Republican parties have decided to keep their primaries closed to those voters. Unaf¿ liated voters make up 24 percent of registered voters in Oregon, up from 22 percent in 2001, and fewer voters are registering as Democrats or Republicans.

The Oregon Humane Society said investigators found several horses on the rural property that were underweight and one that appeared to have sores. One horse was dead. The horses were removed Monday from the Colvin Road property after the humane society and the Columbia County Sher- iff’s Of¿ ce served a search warrant. The owners, according to the humane society, pleaded guilty to ¿ rst degree animal neglect in 2014.

How- ever, shortly after, it was dis- continued for several decades, or “until girls sports started to come back,” she said. “It was interesting that there was a girl-speci¿ c basketball team that early on, and then that it would just disappear for so long,” she added. After graduation, Zagata hopes to attend Whitman Col- lege, a liberal arts college in Washington . During her four years, Zagata has participated in sports, band, Key Club and other activities, in addition to being class president two con- secutive years. “I’ve had a really good edu- cational experience at Seaside High School,” she said. “I can’t complain about anything. I just have really enjoyed my time here and I would like to leave my mark and offer a fun cele- bration for everyone.” 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM Clatsop Community College, 1651 Lexington Ave, Astoria (Towler Hall Rm. 310) Fill out an application, interview with a manager, meet our Team Pelican!
