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.”

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

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.

on any physical changes to the
space prior to the opening in
the fall.

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

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

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.”
