Entrepreneurial spirit
“This distillery statute,
basically every year some-
thing new comes up,” Brian
Fleming, the state’s director
of distilled spirits, said. “It’s
been tweaked almost every”
legislative session.
State Sen. Betsy Johnson,
D-Scappoose, had previously
helped Ye Ol’ Grog Distillery
and Two Birds Ice Cream in
St. Helens change a state law
to allow the sale of their vod-
ka-infused confection.
“They had a fascinating
product, and if we can get
state rules to accommodate
them, then everybody’s a win-
ner,” Johnson said.
The senator got an amend-
ment attached to Senate Bill
1044, concerning liquor
licenses, to lower the allowed
alcoholic content in liquor to
accommodate Astoria Mary.
The bill sailed through the
Legislature and was signed
by Gov. Kate Brown in June
with an emergency declara-
tion making the changes effec-
tive immediately.
Fleming said there have
probably been about 20
amendments to state statutes
on liquor since 1933, mostly
because distillers, like brew-
ers and vintners, are contin-
ually paving new ground and
coming out with new prod-
ucts. The state, he said, tries
to support such entrepreneur-
ial spirit.
A nice win
Pilot House Distilling
started as North Coast Distill-
ing in 2014, but received legal
threats from California-based
North Coast Brewery. Cary
said he spent about $10,000
changing the company’s name
to Pilot House Spirits, which
was then threatened with lit-
igation by Portland-based
House Spirits Distilling and
again changed names, this
time to Pilot House Distilling.
After all the problems his
distillery has faced, Cary said,
it was refreshing to receive
support from the state for
a new, innovative product.
Astoria Mary has been sell-
ing fast, Christina Cary said,
with about half of the original
2,500 cans gone and another
batch being packaged next
month.
The Carys are already
developing new canned cock-
tails such as a Moscow Mule
and a margarita.
Larry Cary said such inno-
vation is necessary to stand
out. “If you’re not going to
think outside the box, then
you’ll be stuck in the box.”

Team Saloman runners celebrate their victory in the inaugural Hood to Coast China.
Hood to Coast: ‘It was very competitive’
Continued from Page 1A
Hood to Coast China began
at Genting Secret Garden
Resort, which will be the site
of skiing in the 2022 Winter
Olympics and is a 2 1/2-hour
drive from Beijing.
The course was framed by
rolling countryside and took the
runners past remote farmlands.
The finish line was among wild
camels in the central plains of
northeast China, about 180
miles from Mongolia.
“Gorgeous,” Hubber says of
the layout.
No traffic
Over the years of Hood to
Coast in Oregon, the often con-
gested path of vans and runners
through towns and local traf-
fic hasn’t always been easy or
entirely popular, but the Chi-
nese took care of those issues.
“The amazing part of it for
us was the course was closed
by the government and the
police, so it was like a dream
for the runners. They were able
to experience it without any
traffic,” Hubber says.
Such was the attention to
detail and efficiency of the
event, she notes.
“The whole thing was so
well organized, it exceeded our
expectations,” she says. “We
couldn’t have been happier.”

in Oregon is largely a participa-
tory event centered on camara-
derie and fun for weekend war-
riors, the Chinese took a much
different approach. HTC China
organizers handpicked the run-
ners (200 teams of five runners
each).
“It was very competitive,
and the teams took it pretty
seriously,” Hubber says. “Our
Hood to Coast is more about
the experience and being
together as a team, but for them
it was, ‘We want to win or be
one of the top teams.’
“The team that got fourth
place was crying at the awards
ceremony, they were so upset
they didn’t make it in the top
three.”
The field for HTC China
was about 60 percent male, in
comparison to the HTC Relay,
which is about 52 percent
female.
The first wave of Chinese
runners took off at 4:30 a.m.,
with a chilly temperature in
the low 40s in the mountains.
The final teams started running
about two hours later.
The winning Team Salo-
man finished 19 legs later, and
through midday temperatures
in the mid-80s, in 11 hours, 37
minutes, or about a 6:27 per-
mile clip.

a few years to get to that point
there,” she says. “The orga-
nizers were especially con-
cerned this year that if they
opened the race to the pub-
lic, given the Chinese culture,
they’d get people signing up
with no experience but saying,
‘OK, I’m going to run a mara-
thon,’ and wind up with medi-
cal issues along the course.”
the HTC Race Series, head-
quartered in Beaverton, and
Starz Sports also means four or
five Chinese teams, including
Team Saloman, will be invited
to this year’s Oregon race,
which is Aug. 25 and 26 from
Timberline to Seaside.
More HTCs in China are
assured. Starz Sports has a
10-year contract with Hood
to Coast. Starz would like to
expand the race next year to
180 miles and add a similar
event to a new city in China
every year or two, making for
a series of races.
“Running is a big emerging
sport in China,” Hubber says.
“It seems like it’s the running
boom we saw in the U.S. in
the late 1970s and early ’80s.
People in China now have
more money and expendable
income, and they are thinking
of their health more.”
Registration for HTC
China 2018 is expected to
begin in February, and Hub-
ber says she believes the Chi-
nese will select some interna-
tional teams. ”A lot of folks
here say they want to sign up,
and I think we’ll have some of
our teams going over there to
run,” she says.
Eventually, the China races
may also include casual run-
ners and joggers from through-
out the host country.
“I think it’ll probably take
Hood to Coast will have
another international event in
two months. The first HTC
Israel is set for Sept. 14 and
Sept. 15.
“And we have a few more
in the works in other locations
in Europe,” Hubber says. The
company’s expansion also
included the first Hood to Coast
Washington, which took run-
ners from Shelton to Seabrook,
Washington, in June.
Oregon’s traditional Hood
to Coast Relay remains capped
at 1,050 teams of up to 12 run-
ners each to cover 199 miles.
Also part of the weekend event
are the Portland to Coast Walk
and the High School Challenge
competition for 50 teams. The
walk begins on the east side of
the Hawthorne Bridge and fol-
lows the course to the coast
and the finish line near the
beach in Seaside, where par-
ties, live music, VIP suites and
more await.

The Oregon State Police
left the building in 2015 as
part of the state’s push to
place essential services out-
side of the tsunami inunda-
tion zone. The building’s
fenced-in front courtyard is
along Gateway Avenue, a
route for a variety of traffic,
including log trucks.
However, the location
and layout makes it easy for
parents to drop off and pick
up children, Giliga argued.
Also, the building is spa-
cious and well-maintained.
“There are just so many
possibilities,” she said.
Close vote
Port Executive Direc-
tor Jim Knight said there
has been little interest in the
property by other groups
since the state police left. He
said that while the building
is on industrial land, Shoot-
ing Stars chose the location
because of its ability to keep
kids safe.
“I think we can pass
the buck, and I look at the
city of Astoria as their pur-
view being land use plan-
ning compatibility,” Com-
missioner Dirk Rohne
added that the city would
not approve a lease for an
incompatible use.
Commission President
Frank Spence and Commis-
sioner James Campbell went
along with Rohne’s motion
to defer to the city.
At the Planning Com-
mission, the final vote was
close. After several false
starts due to confusion about
how the motion was worded,
the commissioners voted 4-3
in favor of approving the
permit.
The approval hinged on
the commissioners accept-
ing Community Develop-
ment Director Kevin Cro-
nin’s
classification
of
Shooting Stars as an educa-
tional establishment.
If the center was, as
Commissioner Daryl Moore
contended, purely a day
care facility, such a use
would not be permitted in
that area under city zoning.
Giliga said day care services
account for only about 30
percent of the center’s over-
all work.
Commissioners
Kent
Easom and Jennifer Camer-
on-Lattek voted with Moore
to deny the permit. All three
said Shooting Stars was an
important organization but
that they believed the Gate-
way building was the wrong
location.
Commissioners
Sean Fitzpatrick and Jan
Mitchell, along with Pear-
son and newly appointed
Commissioner
Brookley
Henri, voted to approve the
permit.
Shooting Stars plans to
spend much of August get-
ting other permits in place
and to start moving in.

Longshoremen
Pat
O’Grady, Dave Brewer and
local union president Chris
Connaway argued that an
industrial area with heavy
traffic is not appropriate for
a day care or educational
facility.
“This is an extremely
bad idea,” Connaway told
the Planning Commission.
“This is an industrial area.
It’s not a playground.”
Brewer said there are an
average of 35 log truck trips
a day down Gateway Ave-
nue. “I agree there is a need
for day care and housing,
but I don’t believe that in an
industrial park is the right
fit,” he said.
But planning commis-
sioners and city staff con-
cluded that the services are
much-needed in Astoria and
the plan outlined in Giliga’s
application would work at
the Gateway building.
Andrew
Bornstein,
co-owner of Bornstein Sea-
foods, said his company has
faced severe labor shortages
and looked into subsidizing
child care to become a more
desirable employer. He had
looked at the building before
learning of Giliga’s interest
in it for Shooting Stars.
Though Shooting Stars
would be an “unusual use”
given the area, city staff and
Giliga presented a compel-
ling case for making it work,
Pearson said.

Shooting Stars is cur-
rently located at St. Mary’s
Star of the Sea Catho-
lic Church on Grand Ave-
nue, but the church is not
renewing the center’s lease
and there are multiple infra-
structure issues. A report by
Astoria Community Devel-
opment Department staff
found there are “few com-
mercial spaces available that
meet the applicant’s crite-
ria, including appropriate
zoning.”
Relocating to Gateway
Avenue will allow the cen-
ter to expand services and
programs, said Shooting
Stars’ owner Denise Giliga.
The center hopes to provide
20 new slots after it moves,
which means dozens more
children — up to 60, since
not all the children attend
full time — could be admit-
ted into Shooting Stars’
in-demand programs.
The center serves 102
families, but has a capacity
of only 43 children at a time
at its Star of the Sea location.
The center offers before-
and after-school programs,
infant and toddler care, pre-
school, prekindergarten and
kindergarten classes among
other programs.
