Seaside school back to
normal after cougar alert
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
When neighbors reported
a possible cougar in Seaside
last week, Seaside Heights
Elementary School responded
by moving all student activi-
ties inside. Pet owners at the
nearby Creekside Village
Apartments were advised to
keep their pets safe and on
leashes after several cats were
reported missing.
This week, the district
is back to normal activities,
based on advice from the
Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife, Principal John
McAndrews said.
“I also have not heard of
any sightings since our last
report.” he said today.
The risk of danger to stu-
dents at school was very
low, Seaside School District
Superintendent Sheila Roley
said. “Cougars move through
areas in a few days as they
roam their territory,” she said.
Cougars are part of our nat-
ural environment, Roley added.
“We respond to their presence
as is appropriate whether it is a
cougar or a herd of elk roaming
the high school track.”
In 2007, cougar sightings
in the same area prompted
warnings from offi cials and
consultation with Fish and
Wildlife. Representatives of
the department came to Sea-
side Heights Elementary
School to meet with offi cials
after reports of cougars in the
area. “Seaside neighborhood
put on cougar alert,” a head-
line read at the time.
A Seaside resident said she
had been awakened by her two
dogs and come upon a cougar
outside her window eating
breadcrumbs.
After families were noti-
fi ed in the school letter, pre-
cautions were taken to bring
activities inside, a response
similar to one taken last week
in Seaside after neighbors
feared a cougar had snatched
missing pets.
In May 2012, Warrenton
Police and the Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife
received reports from citizens
of sightings of a cougar near
the 300 block of First Street.
Warrenton Police Chief
Mathew Workman said at the
time there had been “three or
four” sightings in the down-
town area.

An Oregon State Police
sergeant in Astoria said at the
time cougars had been seen at
times near Fort Stevens, but
sightings in town were rare.
Clatsop County Sheriff
Tom Bergin said at the time
one of his staff spotted a cou-
gar in her backyard.
Department of Fish and
Wildlife biologist Herman
Biederbeck confi rmed the
reports of sightings, suggest-
ing the cougar could have
been a female with a cub.
Three months later, police
received reports of what
appeared to be a cougar at
Sixth Street and Irving Ave-
nue in Astoria.
Police were unable to ver-
ify the sighting.
Victoria Hayteas, who lives
at Juniper Ridge in Warrenton,
said Friday neighbors have
seen cougars. The animals
have been spotted “drink-
ing from the pond behind the
Main Street Market,” she said.
“I know there are cougars
here,” Hayteas said. “I won-
der — do cougars whistle?
What I’ve been woken up to
is a whistle. … I know it’s not
a bird. Do these crazy things
whistle?”
