But I love the long evenings. It gives me a chance to do some- thing other than work.” “I’d say sightseeing with my family. We make trips to Seaside and Cannon Beach, and we like the Sunday Market and walking on the Riverwalk. We like to keep it local.” “Staying out of the sun. I just moved into a new place, and this summer I’ll just be getting everything wrangled into place. And, I like to go to the cinema.” Anne Carpenter, Astoria Charlie Pedroni, Warrenton Deby Edenshaw, Warrenton OBITUARIES Cathy Lynn Dinges Steve Whitus Astoria July 20, 1949 — May 30, 2016 Dallas, Oregon Sept. 2, 1945 — June 17, 2016 Cathy Lynn Dinges, a longtime resident of you would ever meet!
