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.”

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.

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

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.”
