2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2018 ‘What do you think is missing from downtown?’ “I can’t think of any- thing. There’s no car dealers downtown any more, but that’s OK.” “Parking.” “I’d say more of a variety of stores. It would be nice to have a little grocery store, and a general clothing store like J.C. Penney’s.” Sam Duncan, Astoria Tish Tarver, Astoria Loran Mathews, Astoria THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK OBITUARIES Terry Lynn (Higgins) Carstens Warrenton April 28, 1946 — Jan. 23, 2018 Terry Lynn Carstens was born April 28, 1946, in Myrtle Point, Oregon, at Mast Hos- pital to James and Mildred Higgins. Terry grew up in Coquille, attending pub- lic schools and graduating from Coquille High School in 1964. She attended beauty school in Coos Bay, Oregon, and after completing her training she worked in the Coquille area as a beautician. She later moved to Ocean Park, Washing- ton, and worked at a sewing/knitting shop in Seaside, where she developed many good friendships. These friends of her singing, sewing/knitting groups and TOPS expanded and fulfilled her life. Terry is survived by her sister, Bon- nie, and her husband, Pete Christoson; her brother, John Higgins; her aunt, Margaret, and her husband, John Haney; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Her parents preceded her in death. Cremation has taken place, and private family services will be held at later dates. Error reignites Oregon rural dwelling debate Lawmakers urged to correct a mistake By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI Capital Bureau SALEM — An uninten- tional omission from a land use bill in 2017 has reopened the debate over accessory dwelling units in rural areas. Legislation aimed at eas- ing Oregon’s affordable hous- ing crisis, Senate Bill 1051, was approved by lawmakers during the tail end of the pre- vious legislative session. Under one provision of that law, ADUs — some- times called “granny flats” — can be built in areas zoned for detached single-family dwell- ings in cities with more than 2,500 residents and coun- ties with more than 15,000 residents. That provision was only intended to apply within urban growth boundaries, but that language was inadvertently dropped from the text. Unless the mistake is cor- rected, the law would allow such dwellings in rural areas outside of cities. Critics of ADUs in rural areas argue that increasing such housing would strain existing groundwater sources, septic tanks and rural roads. Lawmakers are now being urged to pass House Bill 4034, which would correct the ear- lier “scrivener’s error,” by lob- byists from organizations that don’t often agree on develop- ment issues: 1000 Friends of Oregon, a conservation group, and the Oregon Home Build- ers Association. The possibility of legis- lation aimed specifically at ADUs in rural areas is being discussed as part of a separate work group, said Jon Chan- dler, CEO of the home build- ers association, which usually advocates for relaxing land Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian use restrictions. While the problem would seem easily fixed, the situation is awkward because two law- makers on the House Agricul- ture Committee — Rep. Brad Witt, D-Clatskanie, and Rep. David Brock Smith, R-Port Orford — said they weren’t aware the urban growth boundary provision was omit- ted accidentally. During a hearing Tues- day before the committee, Witt said he supported the earlier legislation because he wanted to allow more acces- sory dwellings in rural areas and would be disappointed to see the provision changed. “If you strike a deal, you ought to let us all know a deal has been struck,” Witt said, referring to the urban growth boundary limitation. Representatives of the Association of Oregon Coun- ties and the Oregon Associ- ation of Realtors urged law- makers not to restrict ADUs to cities. Jenee Pearce-Mushen accepts leader of the year award from SOLVE representatives Quintin Bauer and Joy Hawkins Tuesday night at Cannon Beach City Hall. Pearce-Mushen wins SOLVE leader of the year award By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — Out of more than 30,000 volunteers statewide, Cannon Beach local Jenee Pearce-Mushen received leader of the year award from the environmental organization SOLVE. Pearce-Mushen was rec- ognized with the honor at Tuesday’s Cannon Beach City Council meeting for her 10 years of service with the SOLVE, an organization that facilitates cleanup efforts on beaches, parks, neighborhoods and other natural spaces. SOLVE program man- ager Joy Hawkins recog- nized Pearce-Mushen for leading more than 41 events, which involved organizing more than 4,000 volunteers. Hawkins said the beach cleanup events she has organized alone have helped remove 44,000 pounds of debris from Cannon Beach over the past decade.

They are the ones who make it happen,” she said. It’s free to fish, crab or clam in Oregon over the Presidents Day weekend. On Feb. 17 and Feb. 18, no fishing licenses or tags are required.
