2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 ‘What do you like best about fall?’ “The colors, the weather, the decora- tions in the win- dows. Orange! The beginning of a new time — soup time, pie time …” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Carine LaPointe, Astoria “I like the changing of the leaves. The beauty. And I like the fact that the tourists go home, and I can cross the bridge in a timely manner. I’m glad the tourists were here, though, so everyone can make some money.” “I don’t like the rain, but … the kids go back to school, the leaves changing. I like the anticipation of the holidays com- ing up.” Thomas Bowen, Chinook, Washington Desiree Franco, Astoria OBITUARIES Arthur John Jessen Darrel James Ferguson Astoria Feb. 12, 1949 — Sept. 5, 2016 Astoria July 26, 1964 — Sept. 10, 2016 Arthur John Jessen lost his life to heart dis- as a long haul truck driver for Swift, and also ease on Sept. 5, 2016, at the age of 67.

The Secretary of State’s offi ce said Tuesday nearly 300,000 people have regis- tered in the past 12 months and more than 75 percent of them those did so under the new law that took effect in January. The increase represents a 14 percent uptick in reg- istered voters in the state Crews from the state Department of Transporta- tion are doing maintenance work on Youngs Bay Bridge this week. “We’re trying to fill ruts and patch-pave those rough areas,” Lou Torres, a public information officer for the department, said. “It’s pretty much normal maintenance, but we’re pushing it pretty hard right now because we have this kind of narrow window of nice weather. W e don’t know when that’s going to change.” Next week, crews are scheduled to do roadwork in and around Seaside, fol- lowed by work near Beer- man Creek Road. Typically, after Labor Day w eekend when traffic levels decrease, the state focuses on those areas of U.S. Highway 101 . “What we can tell motor- ists is there’ll be some delays — hopefully mini- mal delays,” he said. “We try to keep the traffic moving pretty well through there, but there will be times when there’ll be flagging traffic, and people should expect some delays, especially over the next week or two, as long as we have nice weather.” For alternate routes to and from Astoria, Torres said drivers might consider using the Old Youngs Bay Bridge or the Lewis and Clark Bridge. Torres asks people for their patience as the depart- ment tries to get as much work done as possible before the rainy season. He encourages travelers to con- sult tripcheck.org. Bella Ridge Apartments hearing postponed The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners is postpon- ing its hearing on a proposed 48-unit apartment complex in Miles Crossing to give more time to sort out concerns with sewer and water capacity. Developer Richard Krueger appealed the Plan- ning Commission’s decision to deny the Bella Ridge Apart- ments project based solely on contention surrounding sewer capacity. Krueger claims the Plan- ning Commission’s denial LOTTERIES MEMORIAL The Daily Astorian in July was based on a for- mality and not on actual requirements. The Board of Commis- sioners agreed last month to hear the appeal and take a fresh look at the proposal. The hearing, originally scheduled for today, will be held Oct. 12.
