3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 1, 2017 Bonamici recognizes longtime columnist Goodding to be honored in Salem Fallen officer’s name etched on memorial The Daily Astorian Columnist Claire Lovell was recognized by U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici in a speech the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives Fri- day morning. The recognition for the longtime Seaside Signal col- umnist comes after her death earlier this year at the age of 96. Her column, “Scene and Heard,” was a regular staple of the newspaper, first appear- ing in January 1990 and con- tinuing up to the time of her death on March 15. “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Claire Lovell, an accomplished col- umnist and devoted resident of Seaside, Oregon,” Bonamici said. “North Coast residents are richer for Claire’s pres- ence and I join them in cele- brating her life and her legacy. For 27 years, Claire’s col- umn chronicled the happen- ings of Seaside with cogent prose and an observant eye. First known as ‘Overheard: Notes from Seaside,’ and later ‘Scene and Heard,’ her col- umn was the first thing read- ers went to when they eagerly opened their newspaper. Indeed, some readers bought the newspaper just for her column. Claire was a Seaside resident for almost all of her 96 years and no one was bet- ter qualified to document the city’s life. “Whether she was shar- ing her observation on pol- itics popular culture, grow- ing older or the birth of her first great-grandchild, Claire enriched each topic with her signature verve and keen love of the written word. In a recent column Claire wrote, whether one is 5 years old or 95 as the case may be, life’s By R.J.

Jason Goodding will be honored during this year’s Oregon Fallen Law Enforcement Offi- cers’ Memorial ceremony. Seaside Police Chief Dave Ham said the ceremony holds meaning for the police force and family. “Every time you turn the corner, there’s some- one bringing it back up — in a good way,” he said. “I don’t think that will ever end. (But) to a certain degree I believe there’s going to be a bit of closure.” Goodding, 39, was on patrol in February 2016 when he was shot and killed while taking 55-year-old Phillip Ferry into custody on a war- rant. Ferry fired one shot at Goodding, a 13-year Seaside Police veteran, before Good- ding’s partner, David David- son, returned fire and killed Ferry. Goodding died later at Providence Seaside Hospital. Goodding is survived by his wife, Amy, and two daugh- ters, Joslyn and Jayden. Goodding’s name was small pleasures are very important. For decades, one of Seaside’s small pleasures was reading her column. It is my honor to recognize Claire Lovell’s many contributions to our community and to offer my condolences to her family and the Seaside community on the loss of this remarkable woman. Her wit, wisdom and well-chosen words will not be forgotten.” Lovell was born in Sea- side on Sept. 9, 1920, to Charles and Myrtle (Saw- rey) Ruthrauff. The youngest of nine children, she attended Central School and Seaside Union High School, gradu- ating as salutatorian with the Class of 1937, an honor she shared with close friend Eve- lyn (Stewart) Redkey. Claire is survived by her children, Robin (Hill) Der- ringer (Stan Delgado) of Bremerton, Washington, Gary Hill (Connie Oksol) of Oakland, California, Jef- frey Hill (Nancy) and Lauren (Lovell) McMichaels (Rob), both of Eugene, Oregon; grandchildren, Aimee, Andra, Julia, David and Elena; and great-granddaughter, Emery. She was preceded in death by longtime friend and sweet- heart, John Raniero. A memorial celebration will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Seaside United Methodist Church, with a reception to follow.
