Molalla man sentenced
for online sex abuse
By KYLE SPURR
The Daily Astorian
A 23-year-old Molalla
man accused of sexually
abusing a 13-year-old Clat-
sop County girl after solic-
iting her online has been
sentenced.
Colby Allen Greer was
sentenced Friday in Clatsop
County Circuit Court to 60
days in jail and three years
probation. If he violates pro-
bation, he will face four years
in prison.
Greer pleaded guilty to
attempted unlawful sexual
penetration. Other charges of
sex abuse, online sexual cor-
ruption, using a child in dis-
play of sexually explicit con-
duct and luring a minor were
dropped as part of the plea
deal.
He was arrested last fall in
the parking lot of the Clack-
amas Town Center, fol-
lowing a two-week Clat-
sop County Sheriff’s Ofice
investigation.
Prior to his arrest,
Greer had been communi-
cating with deputies who
were posing as the girl on a
social media network. Greer
thought he would be meet-
ing the girl but was instead
greeted by Clatsop and
Clackamas County sheriff’s
deputies.
“He showed up at the
Clackamas Town Center and
the next thing he knew he
was in cuffs,”
Chief Dep-
uty District
Attorney Ron
Brown said.
G r e e r
reportedly
started con-
tacting the
victim after Colby Allen
Greer
being ran-
domly suggested to her as a
friend on a social media site.
He apparently nurtured the
relationship using several
forms of online communica-
tion, according to the Sher-
iff’s Ofice.
During their month-
long relationship, Greer met
the victim in person on two
occasions at public locations
within Clatsop County.
The girl’s parents discov-
ered the messages from Greer
on the girl’s phone and called
law enforcement. The Sher-
iff’s Ofice encourages par-
ents to monitor their chil-
dren’s use of social media and
other online activities.
As part of his sentence,
Greer is required to register
as a sex offender.
Squirrel becomes Longview mascot
Associated Press

make the squirrel its ofi-

request for the designation
from the organizers of the

Plans in motion
for two shops
downtown
By EDWARD
STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
Two regionally sourced
butcher shops are in the works
for downtown Astoria.
A couple is hoping to open
Gulley’s Butcher Shop in the
former Astoria Health Foods
in June, while two local
chefs are planning Astoria
Stock Co. and searching for a
location.
Glenn Gulley and his wife
Diana have a real passion for
butcher shops. The couple
visits different butcher shops
around the region, and Diana
Gulley has even thought
of writing books about the
shops.
“I just love the feel of it,”
she said. “You just go in there,
and it’s like old school, and
everybody’s like, ‘Hi, how
you doing?’ You know you’re
going to get something great.”
Her parents, Ken and
DeLores Richards, own KD
Properties and the building
on Commercial Street next to
the Liberty Theater that Asto-
ria Health Foods vacated. To
operate their shop, the Gul-
leys have brought in butcher
Miles Peacock.
approved the designation
Thursday.
The proposal to have the
squirrel as the city mascot
had been in the works since
the summer Squirrel Fest
began in 2011, led by a group
known as the Sandbaggers.
Sandbaggers President Pat
Kubin estimated as many as
7,500 people attended the
event last year.

Butcher Shop, with butcher
Miles Peacock as manager.
Originally from Califor-
nia, Peacock apprenticed at
a butcher shop near his home
and has worked at Marin Sun
Farms, an all-inclusive farm,
slaughterhouse, butcher shop
and farm-to-table restaurant.
“It kind of gave me good
experience for keeping things
going on my own,” he said.
Peacock said the shop will
start with a variety of beef,
pork and lamb cuts, along with
sausages, deli meats, char-
cuterie, salumi and rotating
specialty meats. Along with
meat, the shop will offer local
cheeses, eggs, breads, vegeta-
bles, sauces and condiments.
The shop will use distrib-
utors such as Carlton Farms
and Painted Hills Beef.
“Ideally, that’s just the
beginning,” Peacock said.
“What we’re really hoping
to do is expand and get a lot

Astoria Stock Co.
Phil Spencer and Jake
Martin, who have both been
cooking in restaurants for
more than 20 years, are plan-
ning to visit local farms as
they plan Astoria Stock Co.,

become both a local source of
meat and the knowledge on
how to best use it.

eating that, especially know-

Spencer said he had been
thinking of opening a butcher
shop for a while. The pair,
who both worked together in
Seattle and most recently at
Baked Alaska, decided to take
lesser positions of responsi-
bility and start spending time
planning their butcher shop.
“If all the stars align and
everything happens, it could
be at least four months”
before the shop opens, Spen-
cer said.
Martin said Astoria Stock
Co. will specialize in use of
the entire animal, from steaks
down to bones for bouillon,
and dry aging techniques.
“For those more obscure cuts,
we can educate our customers
on how to use those,” he said.
The two imagine hold-
ing educational dinners based
around a single farm, and sell-
ing meaty snacks from char-
cuterie, sausages and hams to
terrines, pâté and comit.
“We also want a small but
thorough Oregon wine selec-
tion,” Martin said, imagining
customers picking up some
wine and snacks before a trip
to the beach.
