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.
