and PUUF: What is the role of
political discussion in a reli-
gious setting?”
Presented by Kit Ketcham
and Frank Logan. All are wel-
come. There will be a discus-
sion of the appropriateness of
political talk in a religious set-
ting. There are legal impli-
cations, as well. The Trump
administration is moving to
allow more political rheto-
ric and support of candidates
from the pulpit. Is this a dan-
ger to religious freedom and/
or our democracy? For back-
ground go to www.pacuuf.org/
worship/summer-services for
the format and for a link to a
document about the IRS rules
for religious organizations
whose actions are often influ-
enced by political issues and
candidates. “We look forward

Angora Hiking Club holds two
trail excursions in July
The Daily Astorian
Two Angora hikes are
planned for July. On July 8,
the Angora Hiking Club will
hike Gnat Creek Fish Hatch-
ery. This is one of hike leader
Arline LaMear’s favorite
hikes.
It starts at the hatchery and
goes down to the campground
and back. Back at the hatch-
ery, hikers take the trail that
leads uphill through grassy
areas and woods, then turn
toward Gnat Creek and follow
it back down to the hatchery.
Bring a sack lunch, which
you can leave in the car until
after the hike at the picnic
shelter built by Wauna Mill.
On July 22, LaMear will
again lead the hike, this time
on the Four County Point
Trail. This short hike (1.6
miles roundtrip) along Wolf
Creek through a Douglas fir
and alder forest leads to the
only place in Oregon where
the corners of four coun-
ties (Washington, Tillamook,
Clatsop and Columbia) meet.
Following the hike, the
group will drive to the Sun-
set Wayside Rest Area. Here
there’s a loop trail (1.5 miles)
that crosses South Fork Rock
Creek on a 100-foot bridge
and through an alder forest.
For both hikes, meet at 9
a.m. at the Sixth Street park-
ing lot to carpool.

Driver education offered for
teens, beginning July 23
Freedom Driver Educa-
tion, an new independent
driving school, offers a spe-
cial program for teens ages
15 to 17 in the Astoria, War-
renton and Seaside areas. The
first course runs from July 23
to Aug. 31, and teaches per-
ceptual development, the
physics of driving and zone
control. These advanced
skills are built upon the
basics like managing turns
and other maneuvers, under-
standing traffic laws in real
life and being prepared for
emergencies.
Instructor Pamela Crom-
well is certified by the
Department of Motor Vehi-
cles and approved by the
Oregon Department of Trans-
portation (ODOT) to teach
the teen driver course. Stu-
dents get at least 30 hours of
classroom instruction and 12
hours behind the wheel. With
this approved course, the
DMV requires parents to
provide only 50 hours of
supervised driving practice,
instead of 100, and students
can skip the drive part of the
DMV test.
Freedom Driver Educa-
tion offers the ODOT-ap-
proved course for $290. There
is a discount for low-income
families. Parents interested in
getting a teen driver into the
summer course, or an upcom-
ing course in the fall, should
go to www.free2drive.co or
call 503-744-7555.
