Defiant Trump renews criticism
of ‘both sides’ in protest
Food bank: It’s estimated 25 percent of county
residents qualify for emergency food assistance
Meeting a need
Continued from Page 1A
An estimated 25 percent
of county residents qualify for
emergency food assistance,
Clatsop County Regional Food
Bank Director Marlin Martin
said, a figure that has remained
steady for the past five years.
More than 6,850 people used
emergency food resources last
year.
“We have continued for the
past 11 years to see increases in
the number of emergency food
boxes being distributed and the
number of people visiting food
banks, even though the pop-
ulation hasn’t grown signifi-
cantly,” Martin said. “Those
people living in poverty have
fallen into deeper crevasses of
poverty. We count each house-
hold as individual visits, and
we see the same households
coming more often.”
Clatsop County isn’t alone.
The Oregon Center for Public
Policy reported last year that
1 in 6 families statewide lack
consistent access to adequate
food. Oregon has also seen the
largest increase in food insecu-
rity, spiking 18.4 percent since
the Great Recession. “We don’t
have enough living wage jobs
for people to meet their food
needs,” Martin said.
To meet this steadily
increasing need, Martin said
the regional food bank is work-
ing on securing more funds
to implement a mobile soup
kitchen later this fall — much
like the mobile produce bank
that has provided fresh vegeta-
bles and fruits for the past three
years.
It’s not a problem Gann sees
going away anytime soon. But
if she can keep handing out five
days worth of food instead of
three, she sees it as one more
way to help people just make it
through.
“I have a passion for food,
and a passion for people,” she
said. “We want to provide as
much variety and choice as we
can for people who visit us, and
donations like this keeps us
from falling into just rice and
beans.”
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump defiantly blamed
“both sides” for the weekend violence between white suprem-
acists and counter-demonstrators in Virginia, seeking to rebuff
the widespread criticism of his handling of the emotional-
ly-charged protests while showing sympathy for the fringe
group’s efforts to preserve Confederate monuments.
In doing so, Trump used the bullhorn of the presidency to
give voice to the grievances of white nationalists, and aired
some of his own. His remarks Tuesday amounted to a rejec-
tion of the Republicans, business leaders and White House
advisers who earlier this week had pushed the president to
more forcefully and specifically condemn the KKK members,
neo-Nazis and white supremacists who took to the streets of
Charlottesville.
The angry exchange with reporters at his skyscraper hotel
in New York City laid bare a reality of the Trump presidency:
Trump cannot be managed by others or steered away from dam-
aging political land mines. His top aides were stunned by his
comments, with some — including new chief of staff John Kelly
— standing by helplessly as the president escalated his rhetoric.
Standing in the lobby of Trump Tower, Trump acknowl-
edged that there were “some very bad people” among those
who gathered to protest Saturday. But he added: “You also had
people that were very fine people, on both sides.”
The rally was organized by white supremacists and other
groups under a “Unite the Right” banner. Organizers said they
were initially activated by their objections to the removal of a
statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, but the larger aim
was to protest what they saw as an “anti-white” climate in
America.
Tyler Evans, a volunteer
with the church, said the office
started greeting people at the
door with blue bags inscripted
with the words “With Love.”
“It’s easier to donate when
you have a reminder,” Evans
said.
Neagle said he made
expanding the relationship
with the food bank, which the
church has had since 2012, a
priority because it is an easy yet
impactful way to connect with
the community.
“When people offer, some-
times it’s just a few items, and
other times they bring two bags
packed to the gills that takes
two hands to carry,” Neagle
said. “Sharing helps the person
you are sharing with, but it’s
also helpful for those who are
giving the food. We’re not just
trying to give you a can of food;
we’re trying to share God’s
love through that can of food.”

China urges US, North Korea
to ‘hit the brakes’ on threats
Warming center: Meeting set for Aug. 30
BEIJING — China has urged the United States and North
Korea to “hit the brakes” on threatening words and work
toward a peaceful resolution of their tense standoff created
by Pyongyang’s recent missile tests and threats to fire them
toward Guam.
The dispute has also raised fears in South Korea, where
a conservative political party on Wednesday called for the
United States to bring back tactical nuclear weapons to the
Korean Peninsula.
In a sign of growing concern on the part of Pyongyang’s
only major ally, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a
phone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lav-
rov, that the two countries should work together to contain
tensions and permit no one to “stir up an incident on their
doorstep,” according to a statement posted on the Chinese for-
eign ministry’s website.
“The most important task at hand is for the U.S. and North
Korea to ‘hit the brakes’ on their mutual needling of each
other with words and actions, to lower the temperature of the
tense situation and prevent the emergence of an ‘August cri-
sis,’” Wang was quoted as saying in the Tuesday conversation.

It is not a time, he said, for
people to review the permit
application pending with the
Planning Commission or dis-
cuss their broader views on
homelessness.
This is an unusual meeting
for the Community Develop-
ment Department, Cronin said,
and outside the typical land use
process. It was something City
Manager Brett Estes suggested
as a way to get a good-neigh-
bor agreement in place that
could inform the Planning
Commission’s decision with-
out giving the right to veto the
warming center’s application
to any one stakeholder.

The South Clatsop County
Food Bank has seen the
amount of donations from
the North Coast Family Fel-
lowship church increase
dramatically.
ing to feed the community is an
important way as Christians to
be a helping hand for all.
“This is a way for us to
reach out without people hav-
ing to walk through our door,”
she said.
The fellowship plans to
keep expanding its contribu-
tion to the food bank, as well as
local shelters and other social
services, Neagle said.
“It’s about blessing people
where they are at, and showing
them love through food,” wor-
ship arts and student ministries
director Sam Hughes said.
The Community Devel-
opment Department has not
defined what it means by neigh-
bor. Cronin says it applies to
anyone who lives in the nearby
area who feels impacted, either
positively or negatively, by the
warming center.
Nearly everyone who has
testified about the application
agrees the warming center’s
services are needed. Some
say the First United Method-
ist Church is the ideal location,
given its proximity to down-
town. Others, however, includ-
ing some neighbors, say the
warming center and the people
it attracts makes the neighbor-
hood feel unsafe and reduces
the quality of life.
Odom, as mediator, will be
a neutral party at the meeting.
“With conflict, in general, if
people are willing to sit down
and talk about it, usually some-
thing constructive comes from
it. There’s no guarantee what,”
she said. “If folks are willing
to listen to each other, at least
they come out of it with a bet-
ter understanding of where the
other side is coming from and
what their concerns are.”
Advocates for the warm-
ing center and members of the
downtown association have
said they are in favor of going
through this process.
Warming center board
members added that many of
the concerns voiced at recent
public meetings reflect issues
with how the center operated
in past years. In the applica-
tion, they outlined several
changes they plan make this
year that would address many
of these concerns.
The warming center is a
low-barrier center that oper-
ates during the winter months,
allowing the homeless to sleep
there during cold nights and
feeding them an evening meal.
It operates out of the church’s
basement.
The meeting will take
place at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30
at City Hall. The Planning
Commission meets Sept. 6 to
make a decision on the permit
application.
Academy: ‘People have really come out of the woodwork for this’

“It is thanks to Coaster
Construction and all the vol-
unteers that we were success-
ful,” Moore said.
Almost every weekend
over the past month, Moore
said volunteers came out to
help clear brush, paint the
interior and exterior of the
school and clean a building
that sat vacant for more than
a year.
Moore has also received
a number of in-kind dona-
tions, such as school sup-
plies, organizational items
and a defibrillator from Can-
non Beach Fire and Rescue.
“People have really come
out of the woodwork for
this,” Moore said.
More to go
There are still a few hur-
dles left for the academy
before officially crossing the
finish line. The charter school
was awarded temporary

While the charter school
has enough students enrolled
to operate, the academy is
still recruiting to fill more
seats before fall, Moore said.
Earlier this year, the acad-
emy had as many as 40 stu-
dents. Moore said she has no

ment that a full fire safety
system would be installed by
November. This is one of the
largest renovations needed
and will take more time to
complete, Moore said. The
building was not equipped
with any fire safety system
when it was operating as a
goal, however, and attributes
fluctuating
numbers
to
the fact the status of the
school has been up in the air
because of the late location
change.
“I think there are a lot

Moore said.
