Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2016 Widdop honored at farewell party Jones-Centeno named to cultural board ‘Amazing’ service to Gearhart The Daily Astorian Bereniece Jones-Centeno, the interim managing direc- tor of the Astoria Music Festi- val, has been named to the Ore- gon Cultural Trust Board of Directors. Jones-Centeno was nomi- nated by Gov. Kate Brown and conﬁ rmed by the state Senate Wednesday. She ﬁ lls a position vacated by former Board Chair- man Bob Speltz, who stepped down after seven years. The Cultural Trust man- ages proceeds from the state’s cultural tax credits. Last year, Oregonians gave $4.5 million to the Cultural Trust, which in turn donated $2.9 million this ﬁ scal year to Oregon nonprof- its. The money trickled down into Clatsop County Cul- tural Coalition grants equaling By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian GEARHART — A cross section of residents and ofﬁ - cials gathered at McMenam- ins Gearhart Hotel Thursday night for a farewell to Dianne Widdop. Widdop stepped down from ofﬁ ce earlier this year after 23 years in city govern- ment, serving as mayor since 2012. “Her 23 years of service has been amazing,” Mayor Matt Brown said. “She’s put so much time and service for the community. I’ve gotten an opportunity to work with her on the P lanning C ommis- sion, it’s going to be great to have her still involved in the community, I know she’ll be a voice of reason for all of us who live here.” “She’s done a fantas- tic job for the city of Gear- hart,” Wi ndermere Realty’s Craig Weston said. “I give her kudos.” Gearhart City Councilor Paulina Cockrum called Wi d- dop a mentor and said she hopes that council members can continue the “Wednesday Coffee with the Mayor” — a weekly interaction with city residents — to raise issues of concern. R.J. Marx/The Daily Astorian Bob and Dianne Widdop “These are my friends,” Widdop said, clearly touched by the outpouring of support from the community. Going forward, Widdop said, she hopes Mayor Brown and councilors will address the foredunes and the dunes restoration plan. “To me that has been post- poned and ignored for so many years,” Widdop said. “It is so important for the health of the dunes.” An educational workshop is scheduled at the Gearhart ﬁ rehouse in January . During her time as mayor, Widdop initiated short-term rental regulations, helped improve the Ridge Path and enforced regulation of Nea- coxie Creek Barn. She pre- sided over the opening of the city’s ﬁ rst water treatment plant. In 2014, Widdop faced a recall challenge after she was accused of “abuse of leadership.” Voters supported Wid- dop in the March 2015 spe- cial election, with 64 percent of the electorate opposing the mayor’s recall. “I’m relieved that the neg- ative things are over,” she said Thursday. “I’ve enjoyed it. I have made lifelong friends. I would do it all over again.” City Administrator Chad Sweet said he has worked with Widdop since his start in Gearhart in 2011. “She’s been great, support- ive, always there for the staff,” Sweet said. “She’s always helped us out.” During the 2014 recall election, “she prevailed and she stayed strong,” Sweet added. “I’ll miss her around City Hall, but I have a feel- ing she’s going to be around helping the city with whatever needs to be done.” TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 52 36 46 Becoming windier with rain, becoming heavy Breezy; a little a.m. rain, then a shower ALMANAC By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian New Salem 43/51 Newport 46/50 Dec 28 Coos Bay 47/53 Full Jan 5 Lakeview 26/39 Ashland 37/46 TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 12:30 p.m. none Low 2.8 ft.
