Port: Campbell came out swinging at forum
Continued from Page 1A
bond measure, calling it waste-
ful, speculative development
when the agency should focus
on its marine terminals.
Fulton, a wetlands expert
for Warrenton Fiber who orig-
inally voted to move forward
with a bond, said only 15 per-
cent of the measure would go
toward Life Flight.
Hellberg, a former Warren-
ton city commissioner, com-
mercial fisherman and retired
longshoreman, argued that
the Port has plenty of land at
the airport that hasn’t seen
any development for decades,
begging the question of why
the Port would spend money
on creating more. O’Grady, a
longshoreman and local busi-
ness owner, echoed Fulton’s
comments.
Campbell, a marine con-
tractor who served on the
Port Commission from 1965
to 1977 and was re-elected
in 2013, said it was obvious
the three opposing candidates
hadn’t done their homework
and know little about aviation.
“Right now, they’re oper-
ating in a very dangerous sit-
uation,” Campbell said of the
close proximity of Life Flight,
the U.S. Coast Guard, Brim
Aviation and fuel tanks. He
said it’s imperative to pass the
bond or lose Life Flight.
Spence, a former city
administrator, said moving
Life Flight is a safety issue,
while developing the surround-
ing infrastructure is looking to
the future.
Rohne, a Brownsmead
dairy farmer, former Clatsop
County commissioner and col-
lege board member, said the
bond is worth investing in for
both the region’s safety and
economy.
Port finances
Asked how he would fix
the fiscal problems at the Port,

Port of Astoria Commissioner James Campbell, running for re-election, speaks to the
audience during a candidate forum Wednesday at Clatsop Community College.
Spence said the question was
loaded, presuming the agency
has fiscal problems when staff
have presented a balanced
budget.
“In order to improve the
financial condition, then we’re
talking about economic devel-
opment again,” he said. “And
that is luring more businesses
to the Port and to the airport
… We have to invest initially
on the infrastructure to induce
businesses to come here.”
Rohne said the Port is on
the verge of a turnaround, but
needs stability and trust to get
businesses to invest and attract
help from the state.
Spence, Rohne and Camp-
bell argued the Port staff has
greatly improved finances, has
a strong foundation and needs
support from the Port Commis-
sion to continue getting better.
Fulton and Hellberg con-
tinued their argument that the
Port Commission needs to be
better informed by the staff of
the agency’s financial position.
Hellberg said the Port is in trou-
ble because of the deteriorat-
ing infrastructure on the main
piers where its primary income
is generated. He said the Port
needs to go out and look for
real opportunities, but first take
care of what the agency has.
“Our financial planning is
inadequate at the Port of Asto-
ria,” Fulton said, adding the
Port lacks forward-looking
cash flow statements show-
ing how the agency will pay
its bills, and that the Port Com-
mission lacks adequate infor-
mation from staff to oversee
the agency.
“I couldn’t disagree with
you more,” said Campbell,
who has been quieter during
the campaign but came out
swinging Wednesday against
Fulton.
In the last four years, he
said, the Port has put its finan-
cial position in order. “We do
know what’s going on. Mr. Ful-
ton is misleading as hell.”
Priorities
Campbell said his highest
priority is still improving finan-
cials, finding funds to fix the
Port’s ailing infrastructure and
acquiring the North Tongue
Point industrial facility. Ful-
ton said his top priority is better
monitoring and treatment of the
Port’s stormwater and improv-
ing financial information.
O’Grady said he would
like to see better communica-
tion between the Port staff and
the commission, while keep-
ing the public better-informed.
Spence said he looks forward
to using his experience in city
and county government to help
stabilize the Port Commission
and get better headlines for the
agency in The Daily Astorian.
Hellberg said he wants to
focus on taking care of what
the Port has, support but bet-
ter oversee staff and develop
the Port into a job-creating
machine.
Rohne said Sam Patrick,
who came before him on both
the county commission and
Port Commission, told him that
the agency used to be boring
and productive. “I would like
to bring back boring and pro-
ductive,” he said.
School board: ‘Nobody shows up’ at the meetings
Continued from Page 1A
Grace Laman, a clinical
dietitian at Columbia Memo-
rial Hospital and an adjunct
nutrition instructor at Clat-
sop Community College, and
David Oser, chief financial
officer of regional nonprofit
lender Craft3, are running
unopposed.
On-campus health care
The candidates were asked
whether they would support
on-campus health clinics.
Goldberg said the issue
is essentially dead, but that
he supports on-campus clin-
ics and would be willing to
explore a new iteration of the
concept.
Rickenbach, who first got
heavily involved in the school
board as part of the opposition
to the health center but was not
part of the vote, said she sup-
ports access for students to
health care, but not the school-
based health center. She said
there is no way for parents to
opt out and limited oversight
of what services their children
are accessing.
Rickenbach highlighted the
school district’s subsequent
work to improve mental health
care, bringing counselors from
Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare
on campus and potentially hir-
ing a social worker.
Sampson, who was part of
the “no” vote that scuttled the
health center, said the deci-
sion was difficult and influ-
enced in part by an insecure
funding structure that has shut-
tered other on-campus centers.
She said the school district has
since increased access for stu-
dents to health care, with their
parent’s permission.
Davis said he supports such
centers to help with public,

behavioral and sexual health.
“Kids can get birth control
at a gas station,” he said. “It’s
not like we’re keeping them
safe by putting our heads in the
sand.”
Priorities
Goldberg said his main pri-
ority is the well-being of stu-
dents and staff, and getting
more people involved with the
district, which he added needs
to do a better job of sharing
information like school board
packets and meeting minutes.
Rickenbach
echoed
Laman’s intent to focus on the
tenets of the district’s recently
created strategic plan and nar-
rowing the achievement gap
between the general student
population, English language
learners and low-income
students.
Davis said he echoes Oser’s
comments that the district,
which is assessing campus
needs for a possible new bond
measure as it prepares to pay
off a bond from 2000, needs to
proceed responsibly in regard
to how it will use the money
to improve infrastructure in the
long term.
Sampson said the district
is here for students and needs
to continue best-utilizing the
limited funding it receives
from the state. Responding
to Goldberg’s comments, she
said the district has done well
compared to other districts
with sharing information, and
attempted in several ways to
galvanize interest in school
board meetings.
“We would love to have
people come to our meetings,”
she said. “We have been asking
and begging and pleading with
the public at different meetings
to come and listen, to give your
ideas. But nobody shows up.”
performing arts user groups, but the building
faces large amounts of deferred maintenance.
A Portland-based development com-
pany attempted to buy the center and adja-
cent Josie Peper Building last year, but was
rebuffed by the college board.
Mattson McDonald and Cottle were short
on specifics about the center. Cottle said the
college should perhaps look to revitalize
some of its performing arts programs, while
Mattson McDonald said she wants to learn
more to decide whether the building is useful
to the college or has more value being sold.
Baker-Monaghan said the strategic plan-
ning process the college is undertaking will
provide the information to help the board
decide the best way forward on the center.
Wingard said that every $1 spent at the
center is $1 not being spent on the college’s
campuses. He said the college needs to look
at how the center is advancing the objectives
of its students, while improving communica-
tion with its user groups.

Cottle
In closing
Mattson McDonald said she will bring her
experience as a student at the college and as
a creative, problem-solving business owner,
suggesting innovative programs to help
make the college more revenue. Wingard
said he hopes to continue the good work the
college board has been doing the past five
years, while listening to the advice of col-
lege President Christopher Breitmeyer and
his staff.
Cottle said she is excited about the pros-
pect of working with the college, and would
like to explore how local governments could
work together to provide affordable housing
for students.
Baker-Monaghan said she has been
through the lean times, including failed
bond measures to move the campus and
budget cuts. With the college now focused
on its main campus and on a more solid
financial footing, she said, the institution
can start looking to grow and dream of the
future.

Sentence: ‘You affected

Tarvin allegedly was ver-
bally and physically aggres-
sive toward his daughter as
well.
Sobbing, Tarvin’s daugh-
ter read a statement to her
father at his sentencing
in Circuit Court. She said
she felt sorry for him for
becoming angry and hate-
ful after his own abuse as a
child. Tarvin said a psychol-
ogist determined he likely
was molested twice as a
child.
“I don’t want you to
think I hate you. I hate what
you did,” his daughter said.
She told him how she
still is full of anger and
wakes up crying in the mid-
dle of the night.
“Maybe someday I can
move on and forgive you,
but I don’t see that hap-
pening anytime soon,” she

things, caring and a hard

“I’ve thought about it a
million times,” Tarvin said.
“I know she hates me, and
I don’t blame her. She can’t
hate me any worse than I
hate myself.”
Judge Paula Brownhill
said she wanted to effec-
tively send Tarvin to prison
for the rest of his life.
“She will never recover
from this. I hope she can
move on and have a good
life, but you stole her child-
hood,” Brownhill said. “You
affected her future, and I’m
going to affect yours.”
