‘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.”

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

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 —

WASHINGTON — Motor-
ists are being convicted of
driving under the infl uence
of marijuana based on arbi-
trary state standards that have
no connection to whether the
driver was actually impaired,
says a study by the nation’s
largest auto club.
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

threshold is impaired. 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.”

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.

years has helped me focus on
the school’s history while giv-
ing back with the Pacifi ca Proj-
ect.” Zagata mined the Seaside
Historical Society and year-
book collection at the Seaside
Library for her research.
“Something I found sur-
prising was the participation
by students in women’s sports
in the 1920s,” Zagata said.
“They had competitive teams.
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-
