Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said late Wednesday night that he was withdraw- ing the bill because “groups After public outcry, the lawmaker who introduced a bill to sell 3.3 million acres of public land nationwide I support and care about fear it sends the wrong message. ” . The land identiﬁ ed for dis- posal — meaning sale to pri- vate entities or states — had included acreage from 10 dif- ferent states.

She was walking with her boyfriend, Shawn Schmock, 50, of Lincoln City inside the park when she suffered the condition. Abbott then called her friend, Steve Moore, 55, from Nehalem, for assis- tance. When he arrived, Schmock was performing CPR on Abbott. Moore then called 911. Once medical personnel arrived, though, Schmock and Moore left the scene.

As another round of winter weather heads toward the north Oregon C oast and Cascade foothills in the next couple days, transporta- tion agencies are preparing to respond to traf- ﬁ c safety needs. The Oregon Department of Transportation will be monitoring updated forecasts Thurs- day and Friday to see which locations will need assistance, spokesman Lou Torres said. The National Weather Service issued a storm warning earlier this week that included Jew- ell. A couple inches of snow and some ice are expected. The forecast also calls for strong east winds in Astoria and other parts of the North Coast. The storm comes after an already historic winter of snowfall in parts of Oregon. “We’ve had a lot of practice this winter,” Torres said. “We’re pretty prepared.” Workers will switch to 12-hour shifts during the storm watch so the state can respond to traf- ﬁ c situations at all times. In addition to snow plows, workers will lay down de-icer ﬂ uid — which keeps the road from freezing — and sand the roads — which adds traction to already frozen surfaces. The Department of Transportation will apply de-icer to some roads ahead of the storm in case of snow, sleet or freezing rain. But if rain falls at a speciﬁ c location ﬁ rst, it will wash away the de-icer and negate its effects. If rain does fall before other types of precipitation and snow accumulates, ODOT will then sand affected roads. Transportation departments typically try to avoid sanding roads if possible because they would then need to spend additional time and money removing it once the storm passes, Asto- ria Public Works Director Ken Cook said. While Astoria is not expected to be affected by the latest winter storm, the city has three snow plows, sanders and de-icing ﬂ uid on standby, Cook said. When winter weather does hit Astoria, ODOT responds to affected areas on U.S. High- way 30, Highway 202 and other commercials roads. Public Works handles the remainder of the city. Two of the city’s steepest hills — Eighth Street between Franklin Avenue and Grand Ave- nue as well as 17th Street between Irving Ave- nue and Harrison Avenue — often are closed to trafﬁ c during winter weather. For the past three years, Astoria has bor- rowed de-icer from ODOT’s tank in Salem. But demands for ice prevention in the Willamette Valley sometimes prevents the department from being able to provide de-icer to cities in other regions. Astoria Public Works currently is look- ing into the possibility of purchasing its own tank, Cook said.
