Lawsuit: Ballots had two errors
Continued from Page 1A
Mistakes made
Somers placed Kennedy
Grimes on paid administrative
leave in October 2014 after two
errors were found on the ballot.
He ired her two months later.
One ballot mistake left off
a zero in the amount of a Clat-
sop Community College bond
measure as “not exceeding
$8,200,00.” The second mis-
take gave Cannon Beach vot-
ers incorrect instructions in an
at-large election for the City
Council.
As a result of the errors,
the Secretary of State’s Ofice
required the county to distrib-
ute supplemental ballots, cost-
ing about $14,000.
The lawsuit claims Kennedy
Grimes immediately contacted
the Secretary of State’s Ofice,
which directed her to proceed
with the supplemental ballots.
The lawsuit alleges Somers,
however, ordered her to con-
sider other options. Somers was
upset she did not include him in
the decision to send out supple-
mental ballots, according to the
lawsuit.
Andrew Altschul, Kennedy
Grimes’ attorney, said his cli-
ent’s iring has nothing to do
with the ballot errors. Rather,
he said, she was ired for not
consulting with Somers and
expressing concerns to the Sec-
retary of State’s Ofice that
Somers and former Clatsop
Community College President
Larry Galizio were not going to
follow the ofice’s orders.
Altschul points to a ter-
mination notice Somers sent
Kennedy Grimes where he
describes her as insubordinate
and disrespectful.
“Your actions were in dei-
ance to your role at the county
as an appointed subordinate
department head and thus are
appropriately characterized as
insubordinate and disrespect-
ful of the ofice of county man-
ager,” Somers wrote.
Two claims
The lawsuit includes two
claims each seeking an award
of economic losses in back
pay, loss of beneits and other
expenses to be proven at a jury
trial and $500,000 in noneco-
nomic damages.
Somers completed an inter-
nal investigation after the elec-
tion, which concluded that the
clerk’s ofice did not follow
established protocol for proof-
reading the draft ballots before
the election.
His indings detailed an
issue with distractions and
multitasking. The proofread-
ers worked individually rather
than following the procedure of
reading out loud while another
proofreader reads along,
Somers said.
Kennedy Grimes started
working for the county in the
District Attorney’s Ofice in
2007, before being appointed
to county clerk in August 2011.
She worked as county clerk
until March 2012, then returned
to the position in June 2013.
Valerie Crafard, former
clerk of the Clatsop County
Board of Commissioners, was
hired as Clatsop County clerk
to replace Kennedy Grimes.

Even as it begins this latest
chapter, the soccer association is
looking to the future.
Within the Warrenton com-
munity is a desire to turn the
soccer complex into a multi-pur-
pose complex — adding, per-
haps, baseball and football
ields, Boisvert said.
“We are overcapitalized in
terms of soccer ields. We have
more than we need,” he said.
A piece of crude, unused land
over the old city dump could be
turned into a dog park, com-
munity garden or some other
asset, he said. Another long-
range project is to lay down a
trail through adjacent properties,
allowing bicyclists and pedestri-
ans to access the ields.
“We’re so isolated that
there’s really no way for kids to
get here,” he said.
And the soccer ields deserve
actual names, he said.
“We gotta work on that.
Right now, they’re 1, 2,3,4,
which is pretty bad,” he said,
laughing.

Such partnerships have been
happening since the nonproit
soccer association formed in
1984, back when it was a youth
athletic club without ields or
facilities of its own.
Before Seaside’s Broadway
Field and Astoria’s CMH Field
came into being, the Warrenton
soccer ields were the region’s
central soccer location for high
school games. The associa-
tion’s recreational and compet-
itive programs continue to play
there.
Cecelia Wakeield, of War-
renton, is helping to get the
new playground off the ground.
Both her son and daughter have
played on the soccer ields.
“One of the most amazing
things is to go to those ields on
a Saturday, when the youth sea-
son is going on ... There’s hun-
dreds of people there,” she said.
“So the idea that they can put
that playground in there, not just
for the soccer season, but for the
entire community to use year-
round — I think that’s going to
be really neat.”
Clatsop
Behavioral
Healthcare is Clatsop Coun-
ty’s mental health contractor.
The lawsuit is the lat-
est knock against an agency
that has been criticized over
the past year for poor man-
agement and questioned
about the quality of care.
The agency is performing an
internal investigation after
union staff took a “no con-
idence” vote in Michele
Crump-Hart, the clinical
director. The Oregon Health
Authority is also conduct-
ing a review after hearing
community concerns. Sev-
eral high-proile staffers have
resigned over the past few
months.
Holmes, who was hired by
the agency in 2012, accord-
ing to the lawsuit, claims he

The Corps faces a lawsuit
from the Audubon Society of
Portland and four other con-
servation and animal welfare
groups trying to stop the cull-
ing, claiming the killing will
endanger the birds’ entire

A federal judge denied the
Audubon Society’s motion
for preliminary injunction to
stop the killing. The parties in
the case are scheduled to pres-
ent oral arguments in July.

comments and jokes at work.
He described the woman’s
use of homophobic slurs,
descriptions of her sex life
with her husband, and her
desire to have sex with var-
ious attractive men.
In the lawsuit, Studinarz,
who was hired in December
2014, claims the case man-
ager’s behavior extended
beyond homophobic and
sexually explicit comments
to job performance issues.
She said she reported to
administrators that the wom-
an’s “substandard client-care
was a safety issue for the cli-
ents served by CBH.”
Studinarz alleges that
administrators
rebuffed
her requests to discipline
the case manager, who one
administrator described as
a “local girl” from a “good

100 in 1989 to more than
15,000 in 2013, making up
98 percent of the breeding
population in the estuary

salmon.
Between May and Octo-
ber last year, Wildlife Ser-
vices killed more than
1,700 birds and oiled more
than 5,000 nests, smother-
ing eggs in corn oil to suffo-
cate the embryos within. As
of Wednesday, Wildlife Ser-
vices had killed nearly 1,500
of the birds since starting this
year’s operation in April.
Under depredation permits
issued this year to the Corps
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Wildlife Services
can kill up to 3,114 dou-

his partner Nancy Burnet.
The group has been follow-
ing Wildlife Services, trying
to document the culling with
cameras and an eight-propel-
ler drone on the back of the
boat.
At the request of Wild-
life Services, the U.S. Coast
Guard established a 500-yard
safety zone around the agen-
cy’s boats. The Coast Guard
claimed it was for safety rea-
sons, while activists claimed
the policing agency was try-
ing to stile their First Amend-
ment rights to monitor the kill-
ing. The animal welfare group
sued the Coast Guard, asking
for a temporary restraining
order to lift the exclusionary
zone, but was denied by a fed-
eral judge.

members will lay the concrete,
and a group of volunteers will
put the equipment together.
“Who we are, and why we
succeed, is basically because of
the efforts of so many differ-
ent people,” Boisvert said. “It’s
really the community’s facility.”
One reason the soccer asso-
ciation has been able to rely
on volunteers: Many of them
fondly remember playing on the
ields themselves. It has become
a generational pastime.
“Some of us have been doing
this for so many years now that,
not only did we play and our
kids play, but now my grand-
children are playing,” Boisvert
said. “That’s really heartening.”
