3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 16, 2016 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 LONGVIEW, Wash. — Longview has decided to make the squirrel its ofi- cial city mascot following a request for the designation from the organizers of the city’s annual festival cen- tered on the furry rodent. The Daily News reported that the City Council Butchers want to go local with meats 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.

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 Phil Spencer, left, and Jake Martin want to make Astoria Stock Co. a source of local meat and the knowledge on how to best utilize it. more personal work with the local ranchers around here.” 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., a butcher shop they hope will become both a local source of meat and the knowledge on how to best use it.

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.
