ODOT: Work will continue on
transportation package in 2017
Continued from Page 1A
review. George Naughton, act-
ing state chief operating oficer
and DAS director, said he would
take steps to end the existing
contract with Craig, which was
signed around July 13. The con-
tract allows either party to can-
cel the contract within 30 days,
Naughton said.
The oversight committee,
made up of transportation com-
missioners and former lawmak-
ers, also plans to seek guidance
from Gov. Kate Brown. The
governor ordered the review in
November to assuage lawmak-
ers’ reservations over some of
the department’s past manage-
ment decisions.
Lawmakers said they wanted
an independent, third-party
review to ensure that the Depart-
ment of Transportation was oper-
ating eficiently before they con-
sider passing a transportation
package in 2017. That legislation
— one of Brown’s priorities as
governor — could hike gas taxes
and fees on drivers and funnel
hundreds of millions of dollars in
additional funding to the agency.
One of the challenges in
inding contractors to conduct
the review is that some might
be more interested in pursuing
high dollar contracts that come
out of the transportation pack-
age, Naughton said. Only two
contractors — Craig and Penn-
sylvania-based Public Works —
made proposals to conduct the
review.
It’s unclear whether the
review could still be inished
before the end of the six-month
legislative session in 2017.
Lawmakers responsible for
crafting a transportation pack-
age said Thursday that they plan
to move forward with the trans-
portation package, with or with-
out the management review.

Action heats up
in ‘The Coast’
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — Some
of the top matches were going
right down to the wire Thursday
afternoon, in the 106th annual
Oregon Coast Invitational.
And it’s all making for an
exciting inal two days of the
tournament at the Astoria Golf
& Country Club.
Golfers are nearing the inish
line of “The Coast,” and there’s
a few locals who are still in the
running.
In the Women’s division,
Katie Sturgell took one step
closer to the inals in the Cham-
pionship Flight, as the 29-year-
old Astorian edged Hillary
McNeill in Thursday’s quarter-
inal, by a 3&2 count.
In the Grand Champions
division, Kenneth Sheldon —
the Ilwaco High School graduate
who just completed his freshman
year at Willamette University —
is looking to become the second
straight Ilwaco graduate to win
the Invitational’s Grand Cham-
pionship, following Jack Wheal-
don’s win last year.
Sheldon will be matched
against Grand Champion medal-
ist Riley Elmes in one of today’s
semiinals, with Mike Fritz fac-
ing Anthony Arvidson in the
other half of the Final Four.
Meanwhile, Sturgell is rid-
ing a wave of momentum, after
winning the Astoria Women’s
Club Championship earlier this
month.
She will face Cappy Mack in
a semiinal today.
“I’m ready for this,” Sturgell
said. “I’m hitting the ball better
than I ever have. My long game
Gary Henley/The Daily Astorian
Kenneth Sheldon — who was golfing for Ilwaco High
School just over a year ago — is on his way to Friday’s
semifinal round, following his victory Thursday. Here, he
chips on to the green on the eighth hole. More photos

is great, and my short game is
getting better. I made some good
putts today.”
She won her match, she said,
“with my sand shots. To be hon-
est, my highlight shots were
mostly bunker shots. I almost
holed one out on nine, I had a
good one on 12 and an even bet-
ter one on 14.”
Sturgell held a slim lead over
McNeill for most of the round
(2-up after 10 holes, 1-up after
11), before going 2-up after 15,
then winning on the 16th hole to
close out the match.
“I had a bad hole on 11, but
then my kids showed up, I won
12, and it was all good after
that,” she said.
“I’m holding up well,” said
Sturgell, who recently lost her
mother Darrylene to cancer.
“After I won on 16, I wanted to
call her so much. I miss those
texts and phone calls. This has
been a super-emotional time for
me.”
The other half of the Wom-
en’s Final Four will feature
three-time champion Amanda
Jacobs vs. Terry Mattson.
The Women’s semiinalists
tee off at 1:26 p.m. today.
In other quarterinal action
Thursday, winners in the Cham-
pionship Flight of the Seniors
division included Bill Bristol,
Patrick Regan, Bob Knutsen
and Jamie Ihander.
The Final Four in the Super
Seniors Championship Flight
will be Mike Graham, Larry
Wobbrock, David Vistica and
John Lewis.
Action continues today and
ends Saturday at the Astoria
Golf & Country Club.
