‘What is a favorite Christmas memory?’
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“The first Christmas
as a mother. Having
a little tiny baby
at Christmas is
exciting, and I was
thinking about all the
Christmases to come.”
“Getting together
with cousins, and
aunts, and uncles,
and grandparents.”
“When I was 6, we got
a Pomeranian puppy
— 8 inches long, a
little ball of fur. My
dad brought it into
the living room in a
galvanized bucket, and we
couldn’t figure out what it was.”

Christmas gifts incinerated in
Long Beach smokehouse fire
The pork, destined to be
holiday gifts for family mem-
bers, had only been smoking
for a few hours before the
fire started, Klingler said.
Neighbors called 911 at
about 11 a.m. after noticing
smoke billowing from the
telephone booth-sized smoke-
house located at 8106 Wash-
ington Ave. in Long Beach.
Pacific County Fire Dis-
trict No. 1 and Long Beach
Fire Volunteer Department
responded to the call and con-
tained the fire within minutes.
“The smoker got a little
hot and got up into the eaves.
Fortunately there was no
extension into the structure,”
Pacific County Fire District
No. 1 firefighter David Allsup
said. “We were able to con-
fine it to the smokehouse.”

LONG BEACH, Wash. —
A smokehouse filled with hol-
iday ham went up in smoke
Tuesday morning in Long
Beach, leaving one resident
without gifts to give days
before Christmas.
There were no injuries and
damage was limited. But as
the smell of smoked bacon
filled the morning air, the
aftermath wasn’t so savory
for owner Gene Klingler.
“The holiday gifts are
gone,” Klingler said as he
stood over the smoldering
remains. “It’s a big loss.”

Gene Klingler had been
smoking slabs of pork in
his custom smokehouse
for a few hours before the
fire began.

the application process and
possible conflicts with the
city’s comprehensive plan
by David Frei, who acted as
a spokesman for the Ecola
Square Homeowners Associ-
ation. Opponents argued the
store’s proximity to a residen-
tial neighborhood and down-
town did not fit the character
of the town, and urged the city
to deny a business license.
The city decided there
were no conflicts with the
comprehensive plan at a City
Council meeting earlier this
month.
But so far, that tension has
yet to come into the store.
“Everyone has been really
friendly,” Cisco said. “We’ve
answered a lot of questions
and given a lot of tours.”

Cannon Beach’s first mar-
ijuana store is now open for
business.
Five Zero Trees, located at
140 S. Hemlock, opened qui-
etly late last week with little
to no ceremony.
It’s the first pot business to
open since the city voted to
allow marijuana last Novem-
ber. The company owns mul-
tiple stores in the Portland
metro area, as well as a store-
front in Astoria.
“It’s been long-awaited,
this location,” store manager
Josh Cisco said. “We’ve put a
lot of heart and soul into this
business, and we are excited
to show people what we do.”
The location has been the
source of controversy after an
ordinance prohibiting mari-
juana shops from operating
in mixed-use buildings led
the property owner to evict
the building’s three tenants.
Since summer, a debate has
ignited over concerns about
