5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 2018 Spalding: ‘Astoria feels like home’ Continued from Page 1A “Geoff has really jumped right in with the department and in the community,” Estes said in a statement. “I am exceedingly pleased he has agreed to come out of retire- ment to accept this position with the city. Geoff has done a great job as interim chief and is the right person to lead the department into the future.” Spalding said he is invested in the work he has begun here. There are proj- ects he wants to see through to the end. Spalding has nearly 40 years of experience in law enforcement. He has retired twice, most recently from the Beaverton Police Depart- ment in 2016 after a sev- en-year span as police chief. He still serves on the exec- utive board of the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police. He began his career with the Fullerton Police Department in California. A decade ago, Spalding had applied for and was offered the job as Asto- ria’s police chief but had to decline the offer for family reasons. An independent assess- ment last year found the police department and dis- patch center were near- ing crisis under Johnston’s watch due to staff shortages, documented leadership fail- ures, politics and conflict. Spalding was asked to fur- ther evaluate the department to help Estes assess what was needed in a new police chief. Since Spalding began as interim chief, the department has also brought on more officers and begun to slowly relieve the strain placed on the understaffed force and dispatch center. In a quarterly report of the police department sub- mitted to the City Coun- cil this month, Estes noted that one of the police depart- ment’s “highest priorities is the training of current employees.” Spalding has instituted informal training programs to supplement for- malized training outside the department. He has also worked to streamline the police depart- ment’s procedures and pro- cesses to make them more efficient and also ensure they are following the law in how they retain records. With Mayor Arline LaMear, Spal- ding has helped lead a task force to address and inves- tigate the issues surrounding homelessness. Spalding and his wife, Diane, want to be a big- ger part of the community. “After just five months as interim chief, Astoria feels like home,” he said. Avila: ‘You can’t live in fear of what happens next’ Continued from Page 1A Avila said one of her favorite aspects of the work is the camaraderie. She craves learning new skills like preparing IV fluids and injury prevention techniques. But working in a commu- nity where she has such close ties has also presented per- sonal challenges. “My biggest challenge was definitely going on scene to my cousin’s car accident. That was a trau- matic moment,” Avila said. Avila remembers being asked to do traffic control — a task she had done mul- tiple times before since she is not yet qualified to conduct some of the emergency tac- tics necessary in a major car accident. “At the end of the call we’re debriefing, another member of the team was describing her, and it imme- diately started to click. I asked if anyone recognized her name, and it was her,” she said. “She was in the hospi- tal for about three months. It was all very hard to process.” If anything, the accident only emboldened her desire to protect the community she grew up loving, she said. “Growing up in Cannon Beach felt very safe. It was kind of surreal. My cous- ins and I would play on the beach, pretend we’re tourists out on the town, going back to our hotel,” she said. “Can- non Beach is special. I can’t think of any other place I’d rather be.” If there’s one thing she doesn’t love about Cannon Beach, she said it would be “the impending tsu- nami, I guess.” As a child in a beach town, the value of emergency preparedness was taught early in her fam- ily, and something that has guided her life. “We grew up with emer- gency planning. We have gone through many warn- ings,” she said. “Whenever we’d hear about a warning we’d stay up, drinking cof- fee and watching the news with our go-bags ready to go. It was almost like a family activity. “I feel like I should be scared,” she continued. “But growing up we did all the drills. You can’t live in fear of what happens next.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN M ONDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Inslee rejects permit for oil-by-rail terminal in Vancouver OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has rejected a permit for a mas- sive oil-by-rail terminal proposed along the Columbia River. Inslee said in a statement today that he agreed with the recommendation of a state energy panel, which voted in November to deny the application of the Vancouver Energy project. The joint venture of Tesoro Corp. and Savage Companies proposed to receive about 360,000 barrels of North American crude oil a day by trains at the port of Van- couver. The oil would be loaded onto tank- ers and ships for transport to oil refineries up and down the West Coast. In his letter to the state’s Energy Facil- ity Site Evaluation Council, Inslee says he believes the evidence shows that the proj- ect does not meet the broad public inter- est standard needed for the panel to recom- mend approval. Project developers have 30 days to appeal the governor’s decision in Thurston County Superior Court. Victims’ families: Jealousy drove car wash shooting suspect A man suspected of gunning down four people at a Pennsylvania car wash was driven by jealousy, according to family members of the shooting victims. State police said Timothy Smith, 28, was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, a .308-caliber rifle and a handgun and was wearing a body armor carrier with- out the ballistic panels inserted when he opened fire early Sunday morning at Ed’s Car Wash in Saltlick Township, a rural town about 55 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. William Porterfield, 27, Chelsie Cline, 25, Courtney Snyder, 23, and Seth Cline, 21, were all killed. Smith was on life support Sunday and not expected to survive after suffering a gunshot wound to his head. State police said it was possible that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted. Matt Sayles/Invision Bruno Mars accepts the award for al- bum of the year. Bruno Mars crashes rap’s big party at the Grammys NEW YORK — The Grammy Awards seemed poised to make this a triumphant year for rap at music’s showcase event — until Bruno Mars crashed the party. The song-and-dance man from Hawaii won all six awards he was nominated for on Sunday night, including the three most prestigious Grammys for song (“That’s What I Like”), record (“24K Magic”) and album of the year. His music also domi- nated the rhythm and blues categories. The Grammys also saw Kendrick Lamar win five awards, Jay-Z go home empty-handed, some memorable perfor- mances by the likes of Lamar, Kesha, Mars and Logic, an odd oversight of singer Lorde and a surprise cameo from Hillary Clinton. In accepting a trophy for the album “24K Magic,” Mars recalled when he was 15 years old and singing shows for tour- ists. He’d perform hits written by Baby- face, Teddy Riley and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and loved looking down from the stage to see people from all over the world who had never met dancing together and toasting one another. “All I ever wanted to do with this album was that,” he said. “These songs were writ- ten with nothing but joy.” 11 Afghan troops die in IS attack on Kabul military academy KABUL, Afghanistan — Islamic State militants attacked Afghan soldiers guarding a military academy in the capital of Kabul today, killing at least 11 troops and wound- ing 16. The attack was the latest in a wave of relentless violence in Kabul this month unleashed by the Taliban and the rival Islamic State group that has killed scores and left hundreds wounded. Today’s attack started around 4 a.m., witnesses said, and fighting continued long after daybreak. A suicide bomber first struck the military unit responsible for providing security for the academy, followed by a gunbattle with the troops, said Dawlat Waziri, spokesman for the Afghan defense ministry. At least five insurgents were involved in the morning assault, according to Waziri. Two of the attackers were killed in the gun- battle, two detonated their suicide vests and one was arrested by the troops, he said. GOP senators call on Trump to show restraint in Russia probe WASHINGTON — Two Republi- can senators said Sunday that President Donald Trump would be wise to keep a public silence on an independent investigation into his 2016 campaign’s contacts with Russia in the wake of news reports that he sought to fire the special counsel. The senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine, also urged special counsel Robert Mueller to review whether Trump tried to fire him last June, an accusation the president has labeled “fake news.” “Mueller is the best person to look at it,” said Graham, describing the allegation as grave if proved true. “I’m sure that there will be an investigation around whether or not President Trump did try to fire Mr. Mueller.” Graham, co-sponsor of legislation that would protect Mueller from being fired without a legal basis, said he would be “glad to pass it tomorrow.” But he insisted that Mueller’s job appeared to be in no immediate danger, pointing to the political costs if Trump did remove him. “It’s pretty clear to me that everybody in the White House knows it would be the end of President Trump’s presidency if he fired Mr. Mueller,” he said. Newenhof: Stayed largely under the radar Continued from Page 1A sister-in-law, Beth, said Newen- hof had recently been diag- nosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cells, and was in remission when he died. Newenhof owned City Lumber with his brother, Jeff, and had long volunteered with Astoria Regatta Association, Rotary Club of Astoria, the Astoria School District and other groups. He stayed largely under the radar until purchasing the dilapidated Flavel mansion at the corner of Franklin Ave- nue and 15th Street in 2015, beginning a life’s project restor- ing the building into his new home. “I think Astoria has lost a friend,” said John Gooden- berger, a local historic buildings expert. “He quietly supported the town. He supported the his- torical society, he supported the trolley and he’s supported other organizations.” Newenhof had been a mem- ber of the Rotary Club since 1991. The group’s president, Nicole Williams, said he was one of the group’s quieter mem- bers who was always ready to help when needed. Newenhof had opened the Flavel house in 2016 for a fund- raising tour supporting the Clat- sop County Historical Society. McAndrew Burns, executive director of the historical soci- ety, said Newenhof loved the history and was the right person to take on the project. “You could just see a twin- kle in his eye and a smile on his face whenever he talked about that house,” Burns said, adding he was heartbroken that Newenhof wasn’t able to finish. Newenhof and his brother inherited City Lumber from their parents, Jerry and Nancy, who became the fourth owners after buying the 114-year-old lumberyard in 1975. The West- ern Building Material Associ- ation awarded the brothers the Distinguished Dealer Award late last year. The Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce last year presented Newenhof the George Award, Astoria’s citizen-of-the-year honor, in WANTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber Northwest Hardwoods • Longview, WA SCHEDULE A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach part for his efforts at the Flavel mansion. Skip Hauke, director of the chamber and a former owner of Hauke’s Sentry Market, had known Newenhof and his fam- ily for as long as they’d been in business with City Lumber. He lauded the entire family’s support of community efforts and called Newenhof’s death a great loss. “I considered him a good friend and an unbelievable community member,” Hauke said. “He’s done so much. Both he and Jeff have done so much for the community.” Contact: John Anderson • 360-269-2500 Evening listings MONDAY J ANUARY 29 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Wheel Fortune (N) The Bachelor (N) KATU News at 6 (N) Jeopardy!
