3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2017 AT THE ASTORIA LIBRARY, A RECORD FIND Police notice spike in thefts from cars Territorial court journals rediscovered in basement Astoria, and will also make copies available to historians and scholars in Salem. The originals will be preserved in the l aw l ibrary’s collection of historical legal references. Pearson is glad to have found a home for the journals. As he and his staff, along with local historic preservation- ist John Goodenberger, sort through the items in the base- ment, attempting to prepare the space for upcoming renovation work, they are constantly try- ing to fi gure out where things should go. With each item they uncover, Pearson works through a list of questions: What do we have? How can we best preserve it? How can it best be accessed by the public? And, what is the proper location? For the court journals, he was able to answer all of those questions when Mayor LaMear presented them to the Supreme Court justice. “For me, I think knowing what they are and how valu- able they are to informing the territorial court history for the state, it just felt like the right place for them to be, ” he said. By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Two 168-year-old pieces of Oregon’s judicial history have found a home in Salem after being rediscovered by chance in the basement of the Astoria Library. On Tuesday, Mayor Arline LaMear and others from the city presented two original journals from the Territorial Court of Clatsop County to Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Balmer. The volumes, dating from 1849 to 1853 , will now become part of the State of Oregon Law Library’s special collection. It is likely they are the only copies of the court’s proceed- ings from that time, said Asto- ria Library Director Jimmy Pearson. “We are delighted to give these journals to the Oregon Supreme Court for its legal collection, where we know they will be treasured and pre- served as part of Oregon’s legal legacy,” LaMear said in a statement. LaMear, Pearson, City Manager Brett Estes and City Councilor Cindy Price trav- eled to Salem to present the journals. Balmer thanked the mayor and citizens of Astoria “for this wonderful gift,” which he called a “remarkable piece of history.” The journals are the court’s offi cial record of cases from before Oregon became a state, when the region was known as the Oregon Terri- tory. They record a variety of cases, including a family law case appointing a guardian for a “lad.” The t erritorial judge at the time was Orville C. Pratt, later known for presid- ing over Oregon’s fi rst death penalty case and for being the sole dissenter of an Ore- gon Supreme Court decision to locate the t erritorial capi- tal in Salem rather than Ore- gon City. City of Astoria The journals recorded court proceedings from be- fore Oregon was a state. The journals were redis- covered when Pearson took then newly-elected c ity coun- cilors Bruce Jones and Tom Brownson on a tour of the basement last November and Jones happened to spot the journals. Over the decades, the basement has become a stor- age facility of sorts for a vari- ety of documents, books, fur- niture and other historic items. The state’s l aw l ibrary plans to make electronic and bound copies of the court journals for Consult a P rofessional Q: What is CBD? A: Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most prevalent chemical compounds in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more famous molecule, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is completely nonpsychoactive. Don’t expect to get “high” off of this organic chemical, however. CBD is all relaxation without intoxication. While CBD still has an effect on your body, consuming CBD by itself isn’t going to send you on the cerebral adventure associated with THC. Preclinical trials over the past four decades have found that the cannabinoid shows promise as an: 1444 C ommerCial S t a Storia , or 503.468.0881 S weet r elief .

Dispatch logs the have refl ected a spike in people entering unlocked vehicles throughout Clatsop C ounty. Groups of people sometimes stop in rural areas, where residents often feel more comfortable leaving cars unlocked, to take advantage of theft opportunities, War- renton Police Chief Mathew Workman said. “This stuff just goes in spurts,” Workman said. “It’s not just unlocked vehicles, it’s unlocked vehicles with decently priced items in there.” Warrenton p olice have increased patrols to search for suspicious activity. An offi cer located a man early Tuesday morning who may have been searching through cars. But after establishing a perimeter near Warren- ton City Park and searching the area for nearly an hour, police were unable to locate him. Workman advised res- idents to lock car doors, remove valuable items from cars or, at least, keep them stowed away in lockable con- soles or glove compartments. N ovember 16 Clatsop Community College President Chris Breitmeyer A Columbia Forum Presentation Chris Breitmeyer started his career in education as a high school biology instructor in Bloomington, IL. After a few years his interest in learning more about the world around us led him to enter graduate school to study ecological genetics. Eventually his passion for teaching led him to a faculty position at Yavapai College in Arizona, where he taught and learned with students for ten years. Looking to challenge himself he made the transition to academic leadership with a job at Saint Charles Community College, eventually becoming Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. He now feels like he has the best job in higher education as the president of Clatsop Community College. He is an advocate for the mission of community colleges, the change they can bring to their students, and their communities.

Effective care can include chiropractic manipulation, traction, laser and electrical stimulation. 1905 Exchange Street | Astoria, OR 97103 | 503-338-4085 columbiamemorial.org/cancer-care
