2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2016 ‘What do you like best about Astoria?’ “We’re enjoying shop- ping around. It’s a cute little town.” “The Riverwalk is a nice walkway. When you get off the ship, it’s convenient to get into town.” Adriana Bri- gnone-Forshay, Vacaville, California “It must be lovely to live here. It’s quiet and peaceful, and ev- eryone’s so friendly. And the cars actually stop for people here.” Sue Byrnes, Vacaville, California Martin and Sue Dore, Southampton, England THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Memories fl ow at Seaside High School centennial and claimed a number of upset victories for their football team over rival Astoria High School. They didn’t have com- puters or cell phones in those days, and some students did not have telephones at home, Linkey said. But they did have something special — they had friends. Peter Lindsey, class of ’61, recalled the “old school” — before renovations in the 19 60s — and its “medieval aura.” His fi rst day there, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit his head. Lind- sey recalls lunches made from scratch daily in the school cafeteria. One day they had “Ameri- can chop suey,” Lindsey said. He found out later that the local sheriff had brought an elk killed by a car to the cafeteria staff — and they went to work putting it to good use for quite a few lunches. Student’s Pacifi ca Project inspires celebration By SUSAN ROMERSA For The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Memories fl owed as alumni from past decades joined students for a centennial celebration of Sea- side High School. The school began as Sea- side Union High School on the same property it stands on today. Steve Phillips, class of 1966 , remembers muscle cars being the “in” thing. “We had never heard of a tsunami,” Phillips said at the Saturday afternoon event. In 1943, there were about 45 students in her class in the Central School, Gloria Linkey recalled. Her grade was the fi rst to play on Broadway Field — A student’s vision Senior Class President Alie Zagata guided the anniversary Susan Romersa/For The Daily Astorian Great moments from Sea- side High School’s past at the centennial event Satur- day.

The problem is only grow- ing as more states contemplate legalizing the drug. At least three, and possibly as many as 11 states, will vote this fall on ballot measures to legal- ize marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, or both. Leg- islation to legalize the drug has also been introduced in a half dozen states. Currently, six states — Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington — have set spe- cifi c limits for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, in drivers’ blood. Marijuana use is legal in those states for either recre- ational or medicinal purposes, with the exception of Ohio. The laws presume a driver whose THC level exceeds the LOTTERIES DEATH Roby’s can help. Lift chairs starting at $599.

But the study by AAA’s safety foun- dation says the limits have no scientifi c basis and can result in innocent drivers being con- victed, and in guilty drivers being released. “There is understandably a strong desire by both law- makers and the public to cre- ate legal limits for marijuana impairment in the same man- ner we do alcohol,” said Mar- shall Doney, AAA’s president and CEO. “In the case of mar- ijuana, this approach is fl awed and not supported by scientifi c research.” May 8, 2016 RADNICH, Mathew R., 57, of Seaside, died in Astoria.

A musical tribute At Saturday’s celebration, visitors browsed through the detailed displays of student activities over the decades. Music was provided by the Seaside High School Jazz Ensemble, whose repertoire, in fi tting with the occasion, spanned the decades. Their musical tribute featured the theme from the movie “The Pink Panther,” with a mel- low turn as they played Duke Ellington’s “Night Train” and fi nished with “Devil With A Blue Dress On.” There were many featured soloists — one of them Zagata on alto saxophone.

This seemed to disappear for many years — and then was reinstated in the 1970s.” Isabella Curcin, also doing her Pacifi ca Project, has com- piled some history and items of interest to put in a time cap- sule. She said the capsule will be unveiled later this month and then buried. Curcin worked with the National Park Service on the project. OBITUARY POLICY The Daily Astorian pub- lishes paid obituaries.
