Snow: Icy roads led
to four-car accident

Helping Hands has entered into an agreement with the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority to purchase a building
on Marine Drive.
Shelter: Helping Hands hopes to provide
up to 70 beds in a dorm-style setting

the tenants except for one have
housing vouchers and will be
able to have their rent paid
wherever they go, said Todd
Johnston, executive director of
the housing authority, earlier
this month.
“The staff is actively work-
ing with landlords we have
relationships with,” he said,
adding, “We certainly don’t
want to displace anybody.”
The old Uniontown Apart-
ments do need some interior
work before Helping Hands
can be fully operational, but
most of that work is cosmetic.
Exterior work will be more
substantial, however. Alan
Evans, the nonprofit’s exec-
utive director, said this work
can be tackled over time and
does not need to be completed
in order for Helping Hands to
open its doors.
The organization works
with people who are home-
less to get them back on their
feet with jobs, skills and per-
manent housing. People must
be referred to the program by
other groups and abide by strict
requirements while enrolled.
The nonprofit does not accept
sex offenders. The Astoria
location will allow Helping
Hands to offer services in both
the northern and southern por-
tions of Clatsop County.
Helping Hands hopes to
provide up to 70 beds in a
dorm-style setting. Most of
these beds would go to peo-
ple enrolled in the nonprofit’s
re-entry programs. Some of the
beds will be set aside for emer-
gency shelter.
Since Helping Hands
announced it would be pur-
chasing the building earlier
this month, the nonprofit has
faced some pushback, Evans
said. He and Brown, along
with community partners, plan
to hold an informational com-
munity meeting in March,
though a location has yet to be
announced.
Comments on The Daily
Astorian’s
story
online
announcing the purchase were
mixed. One commenter said
they had “no problem with
this. It is not a handout, it is a
hand up.”
Diana Kirk, who purchased
the Workers Tavern in Union-
town last summer, has said she
was interested in buying the
Uniontown Apartments prop-
erty and turning it into afford-
able housing, but never got
a chance to put in an offer.
Online, she has commented
that the shelter will not be good
for the neighborhood.
“It’s good for the peo-
ple that want to move home-
less out of downtown,”
she wrote.
Northwest Oregon Housing
Authority and Helping Hands
have collaborated in the past.
The housing authority offered
the property to the nonprofit
first.
The National Weather
Service issued a winter
weather advisory on Tues-
day for across the North
Coast. The advisory was set
to continue through early
this morning. Now, the
weather service says more
snow could fall at low eleva-
tions tonight and into early
Thursday.
The weather service pre-
dicts the heaviest amounts
of snow will likely be over
the Coast Range. The lower
Columbia and Willamette
valleys could see around 1
inch accumulations. Snow
will possibly hit the North
Coast in the evening.
Snow dusted parts of the
county early Tuesday morn-
ing but melted away as a
mix of rain and snow con-
tinued throughout the day.
Just when it seemed the
rain would triumph, snow
charged back, falling in
thick flurries that quickly
blanketed Astoria’s hills in
the late afternoon. Several
events and meetings were
canceled due to the snowy
conditions, including an
Astoria City Council meet-
ing and a Columbia Forum
talk by Clatsop County Dis-
trict Attorney Josh Marquis.
Several downtown busi-
nesses closed early due to
the weather.
Both lanes of U.S. High-
way 30 about 13 miles east
of Astoria were closed for
nearly two hours Tuesday.
Icy roads caused a four-car
accident just after 4 p.m.
All of the cars involved
were towed from the scene.
One driver was taken to a
hospital with a major — but
not life-threatening — back
injury.
When an Oregon State
Police trooper responded to
that accident, he lost con-
trol of the car while round-
ing a corner near Emerald
Heights. The car slid into the
oncoming lane and collided
broadside with the front end
of a pickup truck. The police
car was towed from the area,
but no injuries were reported.
Up in the hills of Astoria,
where the snow stuck around
through the later part of the
afternoon and evening, some
extremely hopeful children
and their parents attempted
to sled at parks.
Edward Stratton and
Jack Heffernan contributed
to this report.
Port: Sen. Johnson
said she will help
at the state level
Continued from Page 1A
“This is an opportunity
for our organization, through
the commission, to proclaim
support for our neighbors
when our neighbors are in
distress,” Knight said. “This
is our opportunity to pro-
claim our ability to come
and help manage the process
when identifying who are the
responsible parties, and what
will ultimately be their fair
share, with the guidance and
support of the Coast Guard.”
The Clatsop County
Board of Commissioners and
the Astoria City Council will
both hear similar resolutions
at their next meetings. State
Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scap-
poose, has said she will help
in any way she can at the
state level.
Port Commissioner Rob-
ert Stevens, a retired Coast
Guard captain, will also
help keep track of the Coast
Guard’s cleanup efforts.
