Manufacturer to close
St. Helens plant in May
Associated Press
PORTLAND — A Penn-
sylvania-based ceiling tiles
manufacturer has announced
it will lay off 136 workers
when it closes its St. Helens
plant in May.
The Oregonian reported
that Armstrong World Indus-
tries Inc. announced that
Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian
Runners in the Hood to Coast Relay finish in Seaside.
Deal: Seaside was selected as
the race’s destination in 1989
Continued from Page 1A
Hood to Coast indemnifies
the city from liability and pro-
vides a toll-free phone num-
ber as a means of communica-
tions the week before and after
the event. Organizers agreed
to cooperate with the city for
event public relations and
promotion.
“This allows the city to put
our best foot forward and allows
them to put their best foot for-
ward, and this gives us oppor-
tunities to work with each other
to maintain good public rela-
tions before, during and after
the event,” Winstanley said.
Hood to Coast launched in
1982 and Seaside was selected
as the race’s destination in
1989. Last year, 18,000 run-
ners from 43 countries and 50
states participated in the relay.
This year’s event takes place
Aug. 24 and Aug. 25.
Funds from the relay raised
more than $730,000 for Provi-
dence Cancer Center in 2017.
The Seaside Chamber of Com-
merce netted another $30,000
by staffing and operating the
event’s beer garden.
Hood to Coast races take
place throughout the U.S.
and internationally, including
Israel, Taiwan and China.
Unlike the 2015 meeting,
where Seaside merchants pre-
sented a petition signed by 87
businesses seeking a race date
change or cancellation, the
agreement Monday night met
with unanimous approval.
“If it weren’t for that dia-
logue we had, we wouldn’t
be talking about the multi-
year agreement,” Floyd said.
“We want to keep communica-
tion open. Not just here in Sea-
side, but along the 200-mile
course. We want to continue to
improve.”
City Councilor Seth Mor-
risey called the relay a
“net positive impact on the
community.”
“In the last couple of years,
Hood to Coast has worked to
improve the event, implement
a lot of things we’ve asked for,
and I’m happy to move for-
ward with this agreement,”
Morrisey said.

SEATTLE — The Trump
administration’s decision to
shutter the Russian consul-
ate in Seattle displeased many
Russian immigrants Mon-
day, some of whom rushed to
its offices in hopes of secur-

important documents.

Dr. Robert Pyle
A Columbia Forum Presentation
One of the Pacifi c Northwest’s most acclaimed
nature writers, Dr. Robert Michael Pyle of Grays
River, Washington, is a lighthearted, insightful and
amusing speaker on topics ranging from Bigfoot to
butterfl ies. He literally wrote the book on both topics,
and is the author of “The Butterfl ies of Cascadia,” the
comprehensive fi eld guide to all the species of Oregon
and Washington.
LIMITED TIME OFFER
A graduate of the Yale School of Forestry &
Environmental Studies, Pyle’s 1987 book, “Wintergreen” won the John Burroughs
Medal for its insights about how industrial forestry damaged the land,
waters and people of the Willapa Hills of Southwest Washington. He and his
Wahkiakum County neighbor Krist Novoselic, co-founder of the legendary rock
group Nirvana, are currently collaborating on a mélange of acoustic guitar music
and poetry.

U.S.-Russian citizen from

$1,000 traveling to Seattle to
renew a passport so that she

Another, Luda Rieve, of San

she too was turned away
after taking the day off work
and flying from California to
renew her passport.
