7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, APRIL 30, 2018 Doughboy: ‘The amount of community involvement we have for this project is nothing short of inspiring’ Continued from Page 1A Replacing and restoring the memorial’s historic com- ponents has involved sourc- ing materials from outside the area. Because little plas- ter work is done in town, the historic preservationists have bought most of their plaster in Portland. It has been espe- cially costly to replace the broken light poles, Swerdloff said. They had to order a new mold, a process that cost thou- sands of dollars. College students have already replastered the two bathrooms that form the base of the structure, followed by students from Tongue Point Job Corps Center who have begun to paint the interior. Take almost any city park and likely students from Job Corps have probably had a hand in improving or maintaining the site, Jonah Dart-McLean, the parks maintenance supervi- sor, noted at a Parks Advisory Board meeting this month. “The amount of commu- nity involvement we have for this project is nothing short of inspiring,” Angela Cosby, director of the Parks and Rec- reation Department, said in a statement in March. “From our partnerships with Clat- Continued from Page 1A Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Andy Deanhardt and Matthew Mather assess work that needs to be done to restore the iconic memorial. sop Community College, our elected officials, our grant providers, and our staff, we will be leaving a lasting leg- acy of the veterans of Clatsop County who served in World War I with honor and valor.” Though the site is com- monly referred to as the Doughboy Monument because of the bronze sculp- ture of a soldier brandishing a rifle that stands on a pedes- tal atop the structure, it is also known as the Astoria Victory Monument. It was designed in 1926 by Charles T. Dia- mond and the bronze sculp- ture was crafted by artist John Paulding. It was commis- sioned by the local American Legion post to honor county residents who served in World War I. Cart: ‘It’s so cool.

The Rhoads now oper- ate two of the food-cart tri- umvirate in the acrylic con- crete courtyard outside Reach Break Brewing and Reveille Ciderworks. In between Hong Kong and Hot Box is Mai Tong Thai Cuisine, opened last year by Sopa and Robert Burns. “Abbie and I are going to be burning the candle at both ends until we can find some Hurd: ‘I think it’s underrated what this city can do’ Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Abbie and Dan Rhoads operate Hong Kong Taco Cart, left, and The Hot Box BBQ, background, in the outdoor court- yard of Astoria Station. employees,” Dan Rhoads said. The idea for Hot Box started in Humboldt County, California, where Dan Rhoads was a high school history teacher. Abbie Rhoads was winning barbecue con- tests and decided to branch out into a stand-alone busi- ness. The couple moved to Portland to be near family and eventually expanded to multiple carts, from a medical complex in the South Water- front district to a brewery on the east side of the Willamette River. Coming to Astoria meant dropping one of the Hot Box locations. But the couple found they had a lot of cater- ing business on the North Coast from weddings and other events serviced by their purple Hot Box truck. “It’s so cool,” Dan Rhoads said of the relocation to Asto- ria. “There’s so much going on here. We’re totally sold on it.” the TV,” Hurd said. “Movies became my comfort. They became my peace. Stories and movies were my outlet.” When Hurd was 7 years old, he and his family moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylva- nia, where he was given the opportunity to attend the Mil- ton Hershey School, a private, philanthropic boarding school designed for underprivileged students. “My mom was doing what she could, but she couldn’t afford to take care of us,” he said. Hurd was given the chance to explore his passion for film by entering a drama-related career track at the school. After graduating in 2009, he attended the New York Film Academy, where he received his associate’s degree in directing for film. But his life came to a halt shortly after the news his father and his aunt both sud- denly died. He stopped his work as a music video edi- tor in Denver, Colorado, and immediately flew back home. “(My father) and I weren’t on good terms at that point. I remember I called him the day before, asking if he wanted to grab a coffee,” he said. “Then I didn’t get that chance.” Since that time, Hurd struggled to balance his grief and achieving his dreams. He moved to Los Angeles to get his foot in the door of the entertainment industry any way he could: attending audi- tions, submitting scripts and performing stand-up com- edy acts. To numb the pain of the loss, he took to exces- sive drinking and partying, which sabotaged his efforts at success. It was around this time he reached out to a close friend, fellow Milton Hershey stu- dent and former Seattle Sea- hawks football player Garry Gilliam, for guidance. “In LA, I sprinted out the gate and ran out of legs. I called him and told him how I was struggling to find my place, my groove. So he got me on a train to Seattle, and he showed me this life I could be the owner of if I got back on this horse,” he said. Now in the Pacific North- west, Hurd decided to seek help for his addiction at a KLEAN treatment center in Long Beach, Washing- ton. Eventually the program brought him down to some classes in Astoria, where he instantly fell in love. “I had no idea what to expect here. I hadn’t even seen ‘The Goonies,’” he said. He secured jobs at the Astoria Gateway Cinemas and radio station, then slowly wedged his way back into the entertainment world with a role in the Astor Street Opry Company production of “The Birds” last year. “There is this community that welcomes you with wide arms. When I was broken they welcomed me in. I found passion again here,” he said. “I think it’s underrated what this city can do.” A year later, following his dreams seems to be back on track. Because of a connec- tion between Gilliam and a producer at CBS, Hurd will be flying back to Los Angeles to tentatively work with writers for the show “Code Black.” When he’s not fine-tuning his comedy on the radio, he chips away at a science-fic- tion screenplay that he wants to produce someday. “I came here when the chips were down. It was life or death and I was at a crossroads,” he said. “I came from such lows and had to face all the s--- I left in my wake, and this city allowed me to do that.” He paused. “Maybe I’ll write another movie about Astoria, about this,” he laughed. “Replace ‘The Goonies.’” CLASSIFIEDINDEX CLASSIFIEDS NOTICES MARINE Special Notices ............................. 104 Boats for Sale................................. 251 Public Notices ............................... 107 Boating Parts & Accessories ..... 254 Announcements .......................... 110 Boats Wanted ................................ 257 Boat Trailers ................................... 260 PERSONALS Marine Supplies & Equip. .......... 266 Lost & Found ................................. 181 Boat/RV Storage ........................... 269 Personals ........................................ 184 Fund-raisers ................................... 188 RVs & Trailers RVs & Travel Trailers ............ 301-307 AUTOMOTIVE Campers, Utility Trailers .... 310-313 Antiques/Classic Vehicles ......... 201 Automobiles .................................. 204 REAL ESTATE SUVs/Trucks .......................... 207-210 Open Houses ................................. 501 4WD .................................................. 213 For Sale ................................... 504-513 Vans .................................................. 216 Lots & Acreage .............................. 516 ATVs/Motorcycles ........................ 219 Income Property .......................... 519 Truck/Auto Parts .......................... 222 Manufactured Homes ................ 522 Detailing ......................................... 225 Commercial Property ................. 525 Tires & Wheels ............................... 228 Real Estate Wanted ..................... 531 RENTALS Properties for Rent ............. 601-613 Rooms & Roommates................. 616 Commercial Rental ...................... 619 Vacation Rentals .......................... 622 Storage Space ............................... 628 Wanted to Rent ............................ 634 RV/Mobile Home Space ............ 637 WE GETRESULTS Animal Boarding .......................... 701 Feed-Hay-Grain ............................ 704 Pets & Supplies ............................. 710 Horses & Tack ................................ 713 DANIELLE MISCELLANEOUS CALL TODAY TO PLACE YOUR AD Fuel, Heating & Firewood ......... 807 Furniture & HH Goods ................ 810 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES TV & Electronics ........................... 811 Business Opportunities ............. 643 Antiques & Collectibles ............. 813 Business for Sale .......................... 644 Jewelry ............................................ 814 Arts & Crafts ................................... 816 5033253211 or 800-781-3211 x231 Email: classifieds@dailyastorian.com Web: www.dailyastorian.com HELP WANTED Help Wanted .................................. 651 APPLIANCES & EQUIP.
