‘What shopping options should be added to downtown Astoria?’
“There’s no room to
put anything big. A
nice craft store, with
supplies to make
stuff. I was walking
downtown one day, and
couldn’t fi nd a craft store.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Laurie Nicholas, Westport
“Fresh fruit and veg-
etables that are al-
ways affordable, not
just when they’re on
sale. Like Columbia
Fruit and Produce.
You could stock up for
the whole week, or just get a
few things.”
“I’d love to see a big-
ger quilt shop that
brings in more vari-
ety and interesting
newer lines of stuff.
I’d love to see a place
where people can eat
and drink and play games — a great
way to spend a rainy winter. ”

Knight Cancer Institute lands a big scientifi c name
By KRISTIAN FODEN-
VENCIL
Oregon Public Broadcasting
The Knight Cancer Insti-
tute has snagged a big scien-
tifi c fi sh.
Dr. Gordon Mills runs the
Institute for Personalized Ther-
apy at the Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston — the larg-
est cancer center in the world.
Mills, who holds more than
20 patents, is now headed to
Oregon to fi gure out what com-
bination of drugs is most effec-
tive on what kinds of tumors.
Oregon Health and Science University
Dr. Gordon Mills is joining
the Knight Cancer Institute.
Instead of taking just one
biopsy of a tumor when a can-
cer is fi rst discovered, he plans
to take biopsies every four to
six weeks as a patient is treated.
“In the past we simply
treated patients until they have
a great outcome, which is what
we’re hoping for, or in far too
many cases the tumor pro-
gresses,” he said. “The goal is
to understand what is happen-
ing in real time to that patient
and that tumor and adapt our
therapy to those changes.”
Undergoing a biopsy can
be painful for the patient.
But the institute is trying to
develop new tests that are
less painful, cheaper and
more reliable. For example,
tests that fi nd cancer tumors
Clatsop County joins Green Power Partnership
The Daily Astorian
Clatsop County received
a rare distinction last week
from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
It became the fi rst county
in Oregon and second in the
nation to join the EPA’s Green
Power Partnership. Member-
ship was dependent upon the
county’s commitment to pur-
chasing at least 10 percent of
its annual electricity supply
for its operations from renew-
able sources such as solar,
wind and water.
The county Board of Com-
missioners voted to make the
commitment in March. The
commitment is part the coun-
ty’s partnership with Pacifi c
DNA in the blood, urine or
saliva.
“We are at an infl ection
point where we are changing
the whole outcome for cancer
patients,” Mills said.
“The idea of being able
to focus in on this key criti-
cal question of what makes
each person’s cancer differ-
ent, and having the team that
is dedicated to putting that in
place was what drew me to the
Knight Cancer Institute and
OHSU.”
The director of the OHSU
Knight Cancer Institute, Brian

Power’s Blue Sky Program.
As part of that partner-
ship, the county set a goal
of 3 percent solar partici-
pation rate among residents
and businesses. In exchange
for participation, the county
will receive a one-kilowatt
solar installation, likely to be
placed at one of its buildings
by early next year.
