THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“Dry weather, for one
thing. And sunshine
— we need our
Vitamin D. And lon-
ger days. I wish we
could stay on daylight
saving time all year.
“There are so many
things I could say. Sun-
shine, and everything
being fresh and new
again. And the flowers
are coming out, making
the season special.”

SATURDAY
SEASIDE — Jay Barber
announced Tuesday he will run
for a full four-year term as Sea-
side mayor.
In November 2016, Bar-
ber was appointed to fill the
remaining two years of Mayor
Don Larson’s term. Larson
died in December 2016 after
an extended battle with cancer.
Barber, a retired college
president, foundation director
and ordained minister, served
as a city councilor and two-
term mayor in Red Bluff, Cal-
ifornia, a position which, he
said, gave him experience deal-
ing with the public.
He and his wife, tJan, have
lived full time in Seaside since
2006.
Barber was selected in
2009 to fill
the unexpired
council term
of Gary Die-
bolt.
Bar-
ber won elec-
tion for Ward Jay Barber
1 in 2010 and
again in 2014.
At the time of his appoint-
ment, Barber said he did not
intend to run in 2018.
“It is impossible to make
a decision like this two years
out,” Barber said in a state-
ment. “The city and the council
have so many important initia-
tives underway currently and I
believe we need strong, stable
leadership in place as we face
the future.”
In his announcement, Bar-
ber listed addressing work-
force and housing issues, the
