Gearhart: ‘It’s a welcoming community’
WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Rescuers find flight recorder
from Black Sea plane crash
SOCHI, Russia — Rescue workers today found a flight
recorder from the Russian plane that crashed into the Black Sea
over the weekend, the defense ministry said.
All 92 people aboard the Russian military’s Tu-154 plane are
believed to have died Sunday morning when it crashed two min-
utes after taking off from the southern Russian city of Sochi. The
84 passengers included dozens of singers from Russia’s world-fa-
mous military choir who were going to the Russian Air Force
base in Syria to perform at a New Year’s concert.
The defense ministry said in a statement that one of the flight
recorders was found early this morning about a mile away from
the shore.
State television showed footage of rescue workers on an
inflatable boat carrying a container with a bright orange object
submerged in water. The ministry said the “black box” would be
immediately flown to Moscow. It did not mention whether the
flight recorder had sustained any damage.
Obama, Japan’s Abe to seek
reconciliation at Pearl Harbor
HONOLULU — Putting 75 years of resentment behind them,
the leaders of the United States and Japan are coming together at
Pearl Harbor for a historic pilgrimage to the site where the blood-
shed of surprise attacks thrust America into World War II.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit today with President
Barack Obama is powerful proof that the former enemies have
transcended the recriminatory impulses that weighed down rela-
tions after the war, Japan’s government has said. Although Jap-
anese leaders have visited Pearl Harbor before, Abe will be the
first to visit the memorial that now rests on the hallowed waters
above the sunken USS Arizona.
For Obama, it’s likely the last time he will meet with a foreign
leader as president, White House aides said. It’s a bookend of
sorts for the president, who nearly eight years ago invited Abe’s
predecessor to be the first leader that Obama hosted at the White
House.
For Abe, it’s an act of symbolic reciprocity, coming six months
after Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiro-
shima in Japan, where the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb in hopes
of ending the war.
Steins: ‘So far we love it’

delivered exactly the way the
client expects,” he writes on
his website.
Calendars, apparel, stain-
less steel travel mugs and tum-
blers — that’s just the start.
Stein recently prepared a pack-
age for a tourism team from
Ocean County, New Jersey.
“Shirts, hats, mugs, pens —
just about anything you can
put a logo on,” he said.
Stein said he is looking for-
ward to working with South
County merchants and organi-
zations. Peggy Stein works as
a medical transcriptionist.
“So far we love it,”
Andrew Stein said. “We abso-
lutely love it. We have 50-60
elk which is pretty amazing. I
play a lot of golf — not this
time of year unfortunately. I
joined the Gearhart Golf Club
and try to play as often as
possible.”

The show travels to
some of the most exquisite
beach destinations around
the world. The series was
launched this year as buy-
ers search for their dream
homes on the sand. Each
episode follows a prospec-
tive buyer, usually a cou-
ple, as they work with an
agent who shows them their
choices before choosing a
beach home in their bud-
get where they can live their
dream. Each episode is a
journey as the buyers weigh
their options.
Unsurprisingly,
their
choice often boils down
to just one thing: location,
location, location.
Quality time
The episode features
Portland couple Alisa and
Jamie Gaylord, searching
for a beachfront home to
enjoy quality time with their
two young kids. The Gay-
lords discover it in Gearhart,
with its shingled cottages
and castles uncannily resem-
HGTV
Alisa and Jamie Gaylord,
of Portland, went search-
ing for a home in Gearhart.
bling New England’s Cape
Cod. Gearhart, the Gaylords
learn, is the place to indulge
and enjoy the family’s favor-
ite beach activities: surfing,
whale watching, and, yes,
watching storms.
Charlan said his pro-
duction company’s cast-
ing director discovered the
couple through Winder-
mere’s Shea. “She replied
to our casting call and rec-
ommended Alisa and Jamie,”
Charlan said. “She knew they
were working on finding and
purchasing a beachfront home
in or around Gearhart.”
Shea said it was her first
time being part of any HGTV
program. “The director and
crew were fantastic to work
with,” Shea said. “From Day
One of filming, they made me
feel very comfortable and at
ease.”
Charlan described the pro-
duction experience in Gear-
hart, Seaside and Arch Cape
as “very fun. The weather was
moody and the production
crew battled with rainstorms,
but overall they were able to
work well inside and out.”
A typical shooting sched-
ule to create each half hour
episode of the show is a four-
day affair where each day
cameras are rolling 12 to 14
hours. “The weather never
got too bad,” Charlan said.
“The crew loved the com-
munity feel of the area. It’s
Scenery, dining
Charlan praised not only
the beautiful scenery but
the delicious dining options
during the shooting and the
friendly local businesses.
Shea said she does appear
on camera. “I’m the real
estate broker who shows the
buyers a selection of homes I
think meet their family needs
and wants,” she said. “It was a
great experience and a whole
lot of fun. I felt extremely
honored to have the oppor-
tunity to represent my cli-
ents, Windermere Stellar, and
our wonderful north Oregon
Coast community to the view-
ers of HGTV.”
Tune in to see what prop-
erty the couple chose.
“I am very hopeful that the
community will be pleased
with the show,” Shea said.
