7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 2017 Threats: ‘I don’t remember the last time we dealt with this’ Continued from Page 1A Other threats Astoria High has seen other threats this year as well. Police responded in May to reports of students wearing trench coats on campus and possibly plan- ning a school shooting. Further investigation revealed the stu- dents did not possess weapons and likely were trying to scare people. In early April, the school district investigated a possible threat to the school, but found none, following a student’s Facebook post. Reports of suspicious activ- ity seem to occur more often toward the end of the school year, though it is unclear why, Astoria Police Deputy Chief Eric Halverson said. The school district typi- cally only sees one of these types of incidents each year, if at all, Superintendent Craig Hoppes said. “I don’t even remember the last time we dealt with this,” he said. “It’s just weird.” School shootings across the county, most notably the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecti- cut in 2012 and the Colum- bine High School shooting in Colorado in 1999, have made school personnel sensitive to potential threats. The result has been more training and more precautions. The Asto- ria School District has placed a specific emphasis on lock- down and lockout procedures in recent years. “Ten years ago you may have heard about something like this,” Halverson said, “but the practices weren’t necessar- ily in place.” Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian A man has been leaving stacks of rambling handwritten notes in various locations in Astoria. Existing climate efforts expected Academy: ‘I believe in my heart to keep US goals right on track all the delays ... have led us here’ By ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — The momentum of climate change efforts and the affordability of cleaner fuels will keep the United States moving toward its goals of cutting emissions despite the Trump adminis- tration’s withdrawal from the Paris global accord, business and government leaders in a growing alliance said. New York, California and 11 other states representing nearly 40 percent of the U.S. economy, mayors of about 200 cities, and leaders of busi- ness giants including Ama- zon, Apple and Target have signed pledges to keep reduc- ing their fossil-fuel emissions after President Donald Trump announced he would withdraw the U.S. from the 2015 Paris climate accord. “Our coalition wants to let the world know that absent leadership from our federal government,” the country will keep cutting its emissions from fossil fuels, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown told reporters Tuesday.

The states, most led by Democrats, represent $7 trillion of the U.S. gross domestic product, or 38 percent. Texas, the largest producer of climate-changing carbon dioxide in the U.S. and the big- gest state economy after Cal- ifornia, is a key figure absent from the list. More than two dozen other states, mostly in the country’s middle, already had been fighting stepped-up federal emissions-cutting programs before Trump’s announcement. Top Texas leaders have had little public comment on the withdrawal from the global accord, although the state’s THE DAILY ASTORIAN W EDNESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 attorney general praised the move. New York and California are the only states in the coun- try’s top 10 list of carbon emit- ters to sign pledges. Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupsi, who joined former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “We Are Still In” campaign, along with mayors of Houston, Atlanta and hundreds of other local leaders, cited the economics for her state: Utah has a $1 bil- lion skiing industry threatened by climate change and marked 65 percent growth last year alone in solar power, as one of the country’s sunniest states. Although establishing the academy in Cannon Beach has been in the works for more than four years, the last-min- ute need to find a new location came when the board received an estimate of $150,000 over the $90,000 they budgeted for construction costs at the original location on Sunset Boulevard. Costs were driven up because the space would need to be renovated extensively to meet state school fire codes, board member Phil Simmons said. When the board originally submitted their charter school plans to Seaside School Dis- trict two years ago, the Chil- dren’s Center was not avail- able, Simmons said, but is cheaper and already up to code for school standards. “I’m just really proud of the community. We’ve had so many hurdles, and we get knocked down, but we always get back up again,” Simmons said. “We understand we came late to this council with this, so I’m glad they saw good use of the land.” Alaina Giguiere, who has been involved with getting the school started since it closed in 2013, saw all of the road- blocks almost as a type of destiny. “The children’s center is the perfect place for our school,” Giguiere said to the council. “I believe in my heart all the delays we’ve faced these past years have led us here. That building is full of love, and full of learning. Please don’t let everyone’s work be in vain.” A number of people also submitted written testimony in the hopes of persuading councilors. “Every time I walk by the former Cannon Beach Ele- mentary, my heart feels sad for the whole community,” Janet and Frank Patrick wrote. During Moore’s speech to the council, she argued that affordable housing and the ele- mentary school could coexist. “Having a school in Can- non Beach will bring fami- lies back to town. We need the heartbeat of our town back,” Moore said. Chicken before the egg Some in the community had hesitations about giving up one of the few locations the town has to feasibly build affordable housing. City Councilor Nancy LISTINGS A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach McCarthy ultimately voted for lease negotiations, but ques- tioned the logic that having an elementary school would nat- urally bring young families back to Cannon Beach. “Which comes first? You’re not going to necessar- ily get students with afford- able housing options,” McCa- rthy said. “You have a school that attracts families: where are they going to live?” A key factor in the decision for her and Councilor Mike Benefield was that the situa- tion was temporary. “My initial reaction was ‘we don’t have enough options for affordable housing,’” McCarthy said. “But the idea that the school was already anticipating reaching capac- ity (at the end of three years) made me more comfortable.” City Manager Brant Kucera also has mentioned conflicts between the city’s goal to build 25 affordable homes by July 2018 and letting the school use the property. “The citizen survey, the affordable housing task force and strategic plan all identified affordable housing as the No. 1 priority for the city,” Kucera said. “This site was critical in the plan. It’s a deviation from policy — which isn’t neces- sarily right or wrong. It’s just different from six months ago.” Evening listings WEDNESDAY J UNE 7 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 NBA Basketball Playoffs Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Site: Quicken Loans Arena (L) Jimmy Kimmel Paid Program Paid Program Wheel of Fortune JeopardyU KATU News at 11 (:35) Jimmy Kimmel NBA Basketball Playoffs Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Site: Quicken Loans Arena (L) Jimmy Kimmel Wheel of Fortune JeopardyU 20/20 KOMO 4 News (:35) Jimmy Kimmel NBC Nightly News KING 5 News KING 5 News Evening BigShot "Little Magic Johnsons" (N) Carmichael (N) Superstore This Is Us "The Big Three" KING 5 News (:35) Tonight Show KOIN Local 6 at 6 CBS Evening News Extra Ent.
