4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 2017 Hospitality: No big changes coming Regatta: Arts, Continued from Page 1A estate. She founded a property company and took over man- agement of an eight-unit apart- ment complex in Seaside while pregnant with her youngest of three daughters. After the birth, Sultana left on maternity leave and a sabbatical from Intel. Upon returning in July 2016, Sultana learned she was among the hundreds of employees being laid off during the company’s recent restructuring. “It kind of expedited my business ventures,” she said with a laugh. Her husband, Masudur Khan, had been in the hotel industry for 12 years, first as an investor and later as an owner after buying the Inn at Seaside in the summer of 2009. Khan now runs four properties in Seaside, including the River Inn at Seaside, City Center Motel and Coast River Inn. Transition The Simmons family started their hospitality careers in 2001 with the purchase of the Blue Gull Inn, adding the Inn at Haystack Rock two years later and forming the management company Hay- stack Lodgings to run other hotels. They bought the ocean- front Inn at the Prom in 2011 and the Gilbert Inn, a historic 1892 Victorian, in 2014. Antoine Simmons, also a former employee of Intel before his foray into hospital- ity, said the properties in Can- non Beach had been on the market since last summer, as his family sought to transition out of the coastal hospitality industry. “It’s tough, because it’s really about the employees, being with them,” he said of leaving the properties and employees who grew to be like family. “We’ve been with many of them over 10 to 15 years.” Sultana learned last sum- transportation, future discussed Continued from Page 1A Photos by Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Taslema Sultana works the desk at the office of just one of the hotels she manages in Cannon Beach. Sultana, who used to be an engineer at Intel, and her husband manage several hotels in Cannon Beach and Seaside in addition to other real estate properties. Several of the hotels man- aged by Sultana and her husband feature elaborate landscaping, including a wide variety of flowers and other plants as well as foun- tains and areas to relax for patrons. mer the properties were on the market. Simmons wasn’t ready to sell in February, she said, but let her start manag- ing the properties in Cannon Beach and learning the ropes. Late last month, multi- ple LLCs owned by Sultana, Khan and other family friends as investors completed the pur- chase of the Simmons’ four South County hotels. The Inn at Haystack Rock and Blue Gull Inn in Cannon Beach sold for nearly $3.6 million to SR Lodging LLC, run by Sultana and Sazzadur Rahman, with whom she and Khan also man- age other properties. The Gil- bert Inn and Inn at the Prom sold for more than $3.9 mil- lion to Seaside Prom LLC, run by Sultana, Khan and family friend Bashir Mahmud. Along with the four hotels, Sultana now manages two apartment complexes, com- ing to the coast from Portland several times a week. Despite the travel, she said the posi- tion is more relaxing and flex- ible than Intel, allowing her to spend more time with her children. The future Sultana said that beside some upgrades to the facades, furniture and other ameni- ties, no big changes are com- ing to any of the properties, which are still taken care of by the same 25 or so employees through Haystack Lodgings. “They know what our guests want, and they’re really good people,” she said. Antoine Simmons, who last month pulled the plug on a proposed 48-room luxury hotel in Seaside after receiv- ing an offer on the property, is developing a new 37-unit apartment complex in the cen- ter of Warrenton. He is also developing another apartment complex in Utah and a branded hotel in Sherwood. “It just was a good fit for both of us,” he said of his and Rocio’s sale of the hotels. “I really think they know what they’re doing, and they’re going to do a great job.” He lauded Khan’s experi- ence in the industry, and said he was especially pleased that all his existing staff could be kept on. “They’re kind of like the new us.” Needle swap: ‘Public health needs to step up’ Continued from Page 1A to future conversations about seeking treatment. “This was a controversy 20 years ago. The statistics and the data are there that proves it over and over and over again,” Scott Lee, the board’s chairman, said. “To me, this is super simple.” McNickle had been hop- ing to implement the program since he took over as public health director last September. “Public health needs to step up and do our part,” he said. “We’ve really been on the sidelines looking at this from afar.” Prior to the work ses- sion, McNickle approached law enforcement officials to inform them about the upcom- ing program. Police chiefs, Sheriff Tom Bergin and Dis- trict Attorney Josh Marquis expressed their concerns but agreed to let the program function, and some even rec- ommended possible exchange locations. The first exchange ses- sion is scheduled for Aug. 25, though locations have not been finalized. More infor- mation about times and loca- tions will be shared through social media and word of mouth among those known to use syringes to inject drugs, McNickle said. At the sessions over the next few months, those par- ticipating in the one-for-one exchange will also receive sharps containers, and nurses will be available to answer THE DAILY ASTORIAN T HURSDAY 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 questions. Nurses have been directed to shut down exchange sites if illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia are spotted. Once the pilot program concludes, the county will evaluate whether to have a permanent program based on the number of needles col- lected. McNickle said that, in a recent poll at the Clatsop County Jail, each inmate who identified as an intravenous drug user said they would par- ticipate in the program. Multnomah County, with a population of nearly 800,000 people, holds weekly ses- sions and exchanges tens of thousands of needles each time, McNickle said. Though he is hoping for proportion- ally similar results, McNickle does not want to mirror Mult- nomah’s practice of also hand- ing out items such as cotton and tie-offs. The Public Health Depart- ment, along with representa- tives from Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organiza- tion and local nonprofit Jor- dan’s Hope for Recovery, have been working to secure grants with other counties for a permanent version. At the work session in July, Debbie Morrow — a member of the Columbia Pacific CCO Board of Directors — said political support such as the resolution Wednesday would be helpful in those efforts. “This body endorsing, sup- porting, advocating on our behalf, it’s huge,” Morrow said. When she heard her name called, she said she felt over- whelming joy. “I get to rep- resent my community,” she said. “It means I get to be a role model to next year’s court.” During her speech, Pos- tlewait spoke of the impor- tance of industry. “Industry is what motivates us to go to work in the morning and inspires us to work harder,” she said. Sydney Ordway, Rebecca Sprengeler and Mackenzie Strain are this year’s Regatta princesses. Ordway discussed arts and culture. “I don’t know what the future holds for art, but I’m sure it’ll be a mas- terpiece,” she said. Strain spoke about influ- ential women. She discussed the gender pay gap and mentioned women who she believed are inspirational, including 2016 Miss Oregon Alexis Mather. Sprengeler spoke about Recycling: New program expected to build gradually Continued from Page 1A increased fees. Those who opt out can have the new carts picked up and returned at no additional charge, according to Recology. Recology General Man- ager Fred Stemmler said the company expects 10 to 20 percent of customers will decline one or both carts. But he also expects the pro- gram to build gradually, say- ing, “Most people are not zero to 60 with participation on this.” As it becomes more familiar, he believes more people will participate. “We are confident this program will be widely adopted throughout the area and thereby result in a high diversion percentage right out of the gate,” Stemmler wrote in a letter to City Man- ager Brett Estes. “This would mean less material treated as trash and we love that.” Recology has already LISTINGS A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach the evolution and impor- tance of transportation. “Transportation is what brought us here today and is what is taking us into tomorrow.” During her farewell speech, Aubrey McMahan, last year’s Regatta Queen, thanked everyone who helped her. “Over the last two years I’ve been given one of the best opportunities a teenage girl could have,” McMahan said. She said her experi- ence has been intense and eye-opening. “I am so hum- bled by the dedication shown by these young women.” After passing her crown to Postlewait, McMahan said the princesses “all had so many amazing attributes.” “It threw me back to when they crowned me,” McMahan said. In her advice for Postle- wait, McMahan said, “Be the best leader you can be and remember it has more to do than just with yourself.” introduced a similar program in McMinnville. People there have been particularly enthu- siastic about the glass collec- tion service, Stemmler said. The biggest adjustment, and where Stemmler expects there will be some confusion, will be with people’s ser- vice schedules. That infor- mation will be included with the new carts. Anyone who needs additional information is encouraged to visit Recol- ogy’s website or call the local office at 503-861-0578. Stemmler said some peo- ple could end up saving money with these new curb- side collection options since the yard debris option for Type 1 compost — plants and unprepared fruit and veg- etable scraps — will likely reduce the amount of trash otherwise thrown into the regular trash bin. Someone with a weekly pickup sched- ule and a larger garbage bin could then downsize or go to twice monthly pickup.
