Astoria schools consider bonds By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian With its general obligation bond from 2000 coming off the books in the summer of 2019, the Astoria School District is considering asking voters for another round of bonds in two years. State bonding expert Carol Samuels presented to the Asto- ria School Board Wednesday on when the district might want to go out for a bond. The school board later voted to request pro- posals for a fi rm to perform a facilities assessment, a long- range facilities plan and a pub- lic outreach campaign this year in preparation for a possible bond campaign in the 2018-19 school year. The Warrenton-Hammond School District, facing over- crowding, is also exploring a bond to increase classroom space. Seaside School Dis- trict recently passed a bond of nearly $100 million to build a new K-12 campus outside the tsunami inundation zone. Astoria schools last passed $21.4 million in bonds in 2000, which paid for the construc- tion of Lewis and Clark Ele- mentary School; a new science center, gym and student com- mons at Astoria High School; and the renovation of Astoria Middle School’s track facili- ties and other upgrades at all the district’s buildings. The bonds come off the books in June 2019. That started the discussion of a new round of bonds, Superintendent Craig Hoppes said, as well as the dis- trict wanting to make sure the schools children attend are safe. The facilities assessment will look at the district’s two elementary schools, middle school, high school, district offi ces, transportation offi ce, athletic fi elds and water and sewer systems . The district recently received a $25,000 seismic assessment grant from the state Department of Education, and is seeking grants for the facil- ities assessment and long- range plans, each worth similar amounts. Hoppes said he would like the district to go through with the assessments regardless of whether the additional grants come through. In other news: • The school board voted to approve an evaluation and new contract through June 2019 for Hoppes, who has been the district’s superintendent since 2008 and a principal since the late 1990s. Hoppes will earn approximately $130,000 a year. Hoppes thanked the school board for the new contract an a positive evaluation. Oregon set to shield marijuana user data By KRISTENA HANSEN Associated Press SALEM — State lawmakers who fear heightened marijuana enforcement by federal agents have overwhelmingly approved a proposal to protect pot users from having their identities or cannabis-buying habits from being divulged by the shops that make buying pre-rolled joints and “magic” brownies as easy as grabbing a bottle of whiskey from the liquor store. The bipartisan proposal would protect pot consumers by abolishing a common business practice in a state where mari- juana shops often keep a digital paper trail of their recreational pot customers’ names, birth- dates, addresses and other per- sonal information. Salmon fi shing extended on Columbia River The Daily Astorian Recreational anglers will have nine extra days this month to fi sh for Chinook salmon on the Lower Colum- bia River. Fishery managers in Ore- gon and Washington state decided Wednesday that fi shers can retain Chinook from today through Monday and April 20 and April 23. The exten- sion applies to waters east of Buoy 10 to Beacon Rock for boat anglers and bank anglers. Fishing from the bank will be allowed from Beacon Rock to the Bonneville Dam. The clo- sure remains in effect near the mouth of the Lewis River. The daily bag limit is two DUII • At 8:38 p.m. Tuesday, Amanda Pontecorvo, 24, of Astoria, was arrested by the Astoria Police Department on the 200 block of West Marine Drive for driving under the infl uence of intoxicants, reck- less driving and driving while suspended. Her blood-alcohol adult salmonids per day — only one can be Chinook — and only adipose fi n-clipped fi sh can be kept. Due to poor fi shing con- ditions and low catch rates, this is the second time this year fi shery managers have extended the season. Manag- ers will meet again Wednesday to evaluate ongoing fi sheries. LOTTERIES ON THE RECORD content was 0.27 percent and she was cited for open container and following too closely. • At 12:08 a.m. Thurs- day, Alan Jay Shepard, 38, of Hammond, was arrested by the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Offi ce on U.S. Highway 101 near Avenue U in Seaside for DUII.
