HAPPY HALLOWEEN! DailyAstorian.com // MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2016 144TH YEAR, NO. 87 ONE DOLLAR SEASIDE BOYS ADVANCE AFTER JANUIK HAT TRICK SPORTS • 10A GIVING BACK INSIDE Frightmare Pam Ackley TRICK OR TREAT ON A SOGGY, WINDY MONDAY The Daily Astorian rom the haunted house at Astoria High School to the fundraiser for the Seaside Rotary, many North Coast residents dressed up in costume and partied on a fright- ful Halloween weekend. Trick or treaters will likely have to brave soggy and windy conditions if they go out tonight on Halloween. The Halloween carnival at Astoria High School Saturday was organized by Sophia King for her senior project, which featured games, food, a haunted house and a movie. The proceeds from the carnival were donated to the local nonprofi t Filling Empty Bellies, which provides lunches for the homeless. At the Ghoulish Gala for the Seaside Rotary Foundation, Colonel Sanders was in the house . So was Uncle Fester, a handful of hippie chicks, gladiators and a bevy of toga- clad goddesses. The festivities at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center benefi ted community and international projects, including a Rotary Youth Exchange, Seaside High School and the Christmas Wishing Tree Program for needy children. International efforts seek to eradicate polio worldwide and provide clean drinking water in Africa. The event is the foundation’s largest fund- raiser of the year, gala chairwoman Raven Brown said, and the fi rst one with a Hallow- een theme. “First of all, I’m a Rotarian, and so mak- ing common cause with fellow Rotarians is always high on my list,” said state Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose . “We’re really here living out the Rotarian motto, ‘Service before self.’ and we’re going to raise some money so some kids can have a great holiday season.” Ryan Lampi Warrenton candidates support new development Ackley, Lampi in only contested race F By ERICK BENGEL The Daily Astorian Photos by Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian Isaac Gray, junior at Astoria High School, scares visitors entering the haunt- ed house during the Halloween c arnival on Saturday at Astoria High School.

WARRENTON — The Warrenton City Commission’s only competitive race this year is between incumbent Pam Ackley and chal- lenger Ryan Lampi . Both candidates have deep family ties to Warrenton, recognize the city is growing and want to play a role in that growth. Ackley, 55, a real-estate broker with Wind- ermere Stellar, was appointed to the commis- sion in 2015 to fi ll a vacancy left when Mark Kujala was elected mayor. She had lost to Commissioner Rick Newton in 2014 and was the only person who applied for Kujala’s seat. A mentor at Seaside and Gearhart schools, Ackley represents the City Commission with Way to Wellville Clatsop County and is co-di- rector of Warrenton-Hammond Healthy Kids.

He didn’t often see anyone with her and decided one day to do something neigh- borly — he introduced himself, asked how she was, and shared some freshly smoked salmon. See NEIGHBOR, Page 9A Writer dives deep into ocean exploration Grace looks to intertidal zone for inspiration C ANNON BEACH — For Stephen Grace, life in the intertidal zone is “stranger than science fi ction.” “I think going to the ocean’s edge or into the ocean is as close as we can get on this planet to going into another world,” said Grace, an author, fi lmmaker and Haystack Rock Awareness Program volunteer. “It is otherworldly.” Grace’s fascination with the ocean and its creatures is evi- dent in his blog (tidesandtrails. org). Colorful photos of sea creatures and the unique Can- non Beach landscape accom- pany his posts on the intertidal zone, geologic time and other subjects. Eventually, he hopes to write a book that could focus on global issues affecting oceans and North Coast local people and organizations, like the Haystack Rock Awareness Program and Sea Turtles For- ever, that are making a differ- ence. He is trying to hone in on a subject, which he calls “the curse of a curious person.” Since moving to Cannon Beach last fall, Grace has spent the year absorbing informa- tion and gathering inspiration from local activists, beach vis- itors and independent research. As his wife, Amy, relocated her nursing career to Astoria, Grace sought to do something different after years of living in Colorado. “I wanted to challenge myself to learn something completely new,” Grace said. “I specialize in water and food issues and water confl icts in the intermountain west, but realized I knew very little about the world’s oceans.” Grace has written about subjects as varied as history and science to the human and environmental cost of urban development in China. While writing “Grow,” an award-winning book on the urban food movement, Grace “looked at those specifi c proj- ects in my own backyard and looked at how they tied into global issues.” He hopes to do something similar with his upcoming book by getting to See GRACE, Page 9A Lyra Fontaine/The Daily Astorian Stephen Grace is an author, filmmaker and Haystack Rock Awareness Program volunteer.
