Security: ‘I’d rather argue safety’
Continued from Page 1A
Visitors are screened by office
staff, who can remotely open
the door after checking IDs.
The doors are locked to the
outside and do not prevent
people inside from opening
them in case of an emergency.
No system was installed
at Astoria High School
because of the greater num-
ber of entrances around cam-
pus, Hoppes wrote, but the
district will continue to look at
other security measures for the
campus.
Billy Eddy, the school dis-
trict’s director of transporta-
tion and maintenance, said
adding security has to be bal-
anced with what the dis-
trict can afford. Additional
beefed-up security mea-
sures, such as more cam-
eras and secured vestibules at
entrances, are under discus-
sion with a new round of vot-
er-approved bonds in the off-
ing, Eddy said.
Locking doors and buzz-
ing in visitors has become
more common around the U.S.
in the wake of school shoot-
ings. Astoria found a contrac-
tor to install its system through
One of the components of the new security devices in-
stalled at three local schools is an intercom system.
Knappa. The rural school dis-
trict east of Astoria has locked
its doors and used key-carded
entry and video monitoring for
the past eight years.
“It’s becoming extremely
common,” Knappa Superin-
tendent Paulette Johnson said.
“I haven’t worked at a district
that doesn’t have some sort of
electronic entry.”
Echoing the concerns of
other administrators, Johnson
said the most common occur-
rence is parents and guardians
coming in and not checking
in at the office, leaving staff
without an idea of who’s walk-
ing around school.
Tom Rogozinski, principal
of Warrenton Grade School,
said his district locks all but
the front entrance during
school and approaches uniden-
tified visitors, but has not had
serious issues with people
not checking in at the office.
Sheila Roley, superintendent
of Seaside School District,
said her district also locks all
but front doors, uses security
cameras and plans to enhance
security at the new K-12 cam-
pus being built.
Shortly after a spate of
school shootings from Sandy
Hook Elementary in Connecti-
cut to Reynolds High in Trout-
dale, Astoria started bring-
ing in security consultants and
instituted a new standardized
protocol for responding to cri-
ses. Local schools installed
new two-way portable radio
systems, GPS trackers on
buses, improved public-ad-
dress systems, mechanisms
to lock classroom doors from
inside and curtains to hide stu-
dents. They started locking all
ancillary doors.
The next logical step was
to control access to the front
entrance, the last remaining
open access point, said Lewis
and Clark Principal Brian
Ploghoft.
“At any given moment,
I have almost 500 people in
this building I’m trying to
keep safe and keep an eye on,”
Ploghoft said. “I don’t feel our
community is unsafe. I feel
this will be another measure
to keep people safe. I’d rather
argue safety, instead of argu-
ing after something bad hap-
pens and wondering why.”
Marina: ‘It will just be so nice to have them go’
Continued from Page 1A
The vessels will be sold on
a first-come, first-served basis,
and potential buyers are asked
to provide removal plans. The
city is requiring that all vessels
be removed from the marina
property within 24 hours of
sale. Sweet wants to avoid a sit-
uation that has come up in the
past where a boat is sold mul-
tiple times over the years, but

never gets repaired and never
leaves the dock.
“The American was prob-
ably sold four times,” Sweet
said, referencing a smaller rec-
reational boat that’s up for sale
again.
The seized vessels range
in price from $1,000 for the
American to more than $7,000
for the 72-foot-long fishing
vessel Master Chris. That last
vessel is the one Sweet would
really like to see go away, but
she knows the smaller boats
have a better chance at adop-
tion. The person who built
the Dixie Lee, a wooden fish-
ing boat, for instance, has
expressed some interest in get-
ting it back for the family.
“It will just be so nice to
have them go,” Sweet said.
People who buy the boats
can bring them back to the
marina again, but only if insur-
ance and registration docu-
ments are in place — now a
standard requirement for all
customers at the marina.
One of the vessels the marina
seized is not for sale. The aban-
doned fishing boat, Western
Skies, sank at its slip this sum-
mer, triggering a cleanup of
diesel fuel and months of has-
sle for marina staff. Sweet and
her staff will salvage what they
can and scrap the rest.
President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure on North
Korea today, refusing to rule out eventual military action and
declaring that the United States “will not stand” for Pyong-
yang menacing America or its Asian allies.
Trump, on the first stop of his lengthy Asia trip, denounced
North Korea as “a threat to the civilized world,” and exhorted
dictator Kim Jong Un to cease weapons testing like the mis-
siles he has fired over Japanese territory in recent weeks.
Though he stood in one of the Asia capitals in range of North
Korea’s missiles, Trump did not modulate his fiery language,
declaring that Pyongyang imperiled “international peace and
stability.”
“Some people say my rhetoric is very strong but look what
has happened with very weak rhetoric in the last 25 years,”
said Trump, who stood with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe at a news conference.
Abe, who has taken a more hawkish view on North Korea
than some of his predecessors, agreed with Trump’s assess-
ment that “all options are on the table” when dealing with Kim
Jong Un and announced new sanctions against several dozen
North Korea individuals. The two men also put a face on the
threat posed by the North, earlier standing with anguished
families of Japanese citizens snatched by Pyongyang’s agents.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump stood with nearly
two dozen relatives, some of whom held photos of the miss-
ing. Seeking to increase pressure on North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un, Trump pledged to work to return the missing to their
families, saying “it’s a very, very sad number of stories that
we’ve heard.”
Amid booming economy,
homelessness soars along
US West Coast
SEATTLE — In a park in the middle of a leafy, bohe-
mian neighborhood where homes list for close to $1 million,
a tractor’s massive claw scooped up the refuse of the home-
less — mattresses, tents, wooden frames, a wicker chair, an
outdoor propane heater. Workers in masks and steel-shanked
boots plucked used needles and mounds of waste from the
underbrush.
Just a day before, this corner of Ravenna Park was an ille-
gal home for the down and out, one of 400 such encampments
that have popped up in Seattle’s parks, under bridges, on free-
way medians and along busy sidewalks. Now, as police and
social workers approached, some of the dispossessed scurried
away, vanishing into a metropolis that is struggling to cope
with an enormous wave of homelessness.
That struggle is not Seattle’s alone. A homeless crisis of
unprecedented proportions is rocking the West Coast, and its
victims are being left behind by the very things that mark the
region’s success: soaring housing costs, rock-bottom vacancy
rates and a roaring economy that waits for no one. All along
the coast, elected officials are scrambling for solutions.
“I’ve got economically zero unemployment in my city, and
I’ve got thousands of homeless people that actually are work-
ing and just can’t afford housing,” said Seattle City Council-
man Mike O’Brien. “There’s nowhere for these folks to move
to. Every time we open up a new place, it fills up.”
The rising numbers of homeless people have pushed abject
poverty into the open like never before and have overwhelmed
cities and nonprofits. The surge in people living on the streets
has put public health at risk, led several cities to declare states
of emergency and forced cities and counties to spend millions
— in some cases billions — in a search for solutions.
Saudi-led coalition warns Iran
over Yemen missile launch
SANAA, Yemen — The Saudi-led coalition fighting
in Yemen closed off the land, sea and air ports to the Arab
world’s poorest country early today after a rebel-fired ballistic
missile targeted Riyadh, blaming the launch on Iran and warn-
ing it could be “considered as an act of war.”
The coalition’s statement ramps up tensions between the
ultraconservative Sunni kingdom and its Shiite rival Iran, both
of which have interests in Yemen’s yearslong conflict. The
bloodshed continued Sunday as an Islamic State-claimed mil-
itant attack in Aden killed at least 17 people.
In a statement, the coalition accused Iran of supply-
ing Yemen’s Houthi rebels and their allies with the missile
launched Saturday toward the Saudi capital’s international
airport.
