Warrenton Police search for boat thief at Skipanon Marina By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian Warrenton Police are searching for a man who allegedly stole a boat Wednesday morning that was docked at the Skipanon Marina. The man allegedly entered the boat at 11:15 a.m. carrying a number of bags. He then allegedly drove the boat south on the Skipanon River but could not continue past the Eight Street Dam. Directions key in an emergency By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian Two Seaside residents who were supervising numerous children and pup- pies were arrested Wednes- day on heroin trafficking charges. The Clastop County Sher- iff’s Office and Seaside Police found Austin Ran- dall Perry-Wenner, 24, and Michelle Renee Brelin, 45, in possession of heroin, dig- ital scales, packaging mate- rial, a stun gun and a black Sig Sauer replica handgun. Three children, two dogs and 11 puppies also were located inside a residence at 841 Second Ave. Two of the children were placed under the care of state Child Pro- tective Services, while the other was returned to her par- ent or guardian. The animals were taken to the Seaside City Kennel. The two were charged with delivery of heroin within 1,000 feet of a school and two counts of first-de- Grant to finance wayfinding signs after quakes, tsunamis The boat was found sub- merged near the dam along with a number of items the man was carrying. The man has a full beard, a bald head with a birthmark on top and hair on the back and some scrapes. He was wearing blue shorts, white tennis shoes and gray shorts.

When it comes to surviv- ing a tsunami on the North Coast, there are a number of signs that tell you where it is safe and where it is an inunda- tion zone. But what about the signs that help you get there? “We’ve got a sign that tells you that you’re in dan- ger, and a sign to tell you that you are safe, but we don’t have enough signs telling you how to get there if you don’t know where you are going,” Clatsop County Emergency Manager Tiffany Brown said. Providing more wayfind- ing signs to guide people in the right direction while they are on an evacuation route is one problem Brown hopes to solve with a recently secured $30,000 state homeland secu- rity grant. The grant, which should be available by October, will fund what Brown calls the “Tsu- nami Evacuation Sign System Assessment” project, and will focus on adding more signs as well as creating a geographic information systems data- base to track where evacuation route signs are placed through- out the county. “A wayfinding sign would help in a situation where you aren’t from around here, and it’s the middle of the night and you are at an intersection try- ing to remember where to go,” Brown said. The evacuation routes and high-ground locations in Clat- sop County were previously identified by way of a com- munity planning project led by the state Department of Geol- ogy and Mineral Industries in 2012, Brown said. A limited number of signs were installed to reflect the newly established inundation levels and evacuation routes designed in 2013, however, and the stakeholder group tasked with defining where signs were needed found many of the routes had inadequate signing because they were sto- len, damaged or out of date, Brown said. “It’s about getting an inven- tory about signs we have, filling in gaps of where we still need them and then creating this GIS database so we can main- tain all of them,” Brown said. “Right now it’s hard to deter- mine what is missing because we don’t have a baseline.” The county does not have clear records of how many signs exist and where they Celebration of Life Sunday, July 16 th , 2017 at 2 PM Betty Kendall Family, friends & acquain- tances are cordially invited to join together at the Seaside American Legion to remem- ber our beloved Betty.

Part of the grant will include hir- ing a planning consultant who will work with 15 stakeholder groups from school districts, homeowner associations and representatives from five cit- ies to perform an initial assess- ment of route signage to iden- tify wayfinding gaps. The consultant will then make final recommendations and create a database for sign types and locations intended to make future system main- tenance and additions easier, Brown said. “If you live here, you are aware of the hazards in the place you’ve chosen to live,” Brown said. “If you are vaca- tioning here, that reality is not something you necessarily understand. It may be our only shot at saving their lives.” W A NTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber N orth w es t H a rdw oods • Lon gview , W A Contact: John Anderson • 360-269-2500 A Tribute to J ULIE L EONHARDT beginning Friday, July 14th 4867 Birch Street Astoria PLEASE ADOPT A PET!

S UMMER ASTOR STREET OPRY COMPANY Good News Camp Associated Press SALEM — More than 350,000 fingerling trout are being dropped from helicopters into lakes across the mountains of Oregon. The goal of this week’s drop is to offer fishing opportunities to those willing to venture into the backcountry, the Statesman Journal reported. The fish to be stocked in high mountain lakes include juvenile brook, cut- throat and rainbow trout. “Trout fishing is still by far our most popular type of fishing in Oregon,” said Mike Gauvin, manager of recreational fish- ing for the Oregon Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife. “The thing about Oregon’s high lakes is there are not a lot of places in the lower 48 United States where you can have this kind of wilderness fishing experience.” 33rd Season of July 17 TH - 20 TH 9:30 AM - 11:45 AM Children ages 4 -12 Lewis & Clark Bible Church 35082 Seppa Lane, Astoria For more information: 503-325-7011 • Bible Lessons • Singing • Games • Missionary Stories • Snacks S hanghaied in A storia July 7 - September 9 Thursday through Saturday: 7pm Sunday Matinees: 2pm July 16, Aug. 6 & Sept. 9 Tickets on Sale ONE HOUR before all shows ***Reservations Recommended*** For tickets, visit our website www.astorstreetoprycompany.com or call 503-325-6104 129 West Bond Street | Uniontown | Astoria www.facebook.com/AstorStreetOpryCompany
