2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2018 ‘What’s your favorite spring activity?’ “Go to the Portway Tavern and drink beer. What else is there? Of course, it’s my favorite winter activity, too.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “Clamming. That’s my favorite. Just got back — went out this morning.” “Volleyball. I play volleyball at the high school, and do summer basketball.” Gale Rockwell, Astoria Ilihia Kaonohi, Astoria Buddy Hoell, Astoria CANDIDATE PROFILE Marches, bill signings mark May Day celebrations in the Pacific Northwest a statement. “In our Oregon, we will continue working to create an inclusive state and thriving communities, where everyone has the opportunity to provide a better life for their families.” Police in Seattle made one arrest in what were largely peaceful demonstrations. The Seattle Police Depart- ment says a masked man was arrested Tuesday after- noon for throwing a rock at Amazon’s newest headquar- ters building known as The Spheres. The Seattle Times reported Amazon had locked doors throughout their campus in preparation for rallies includ- ing the March for Immigrant Associated Press SALEM — Hundreds of people rallied at the Oregon State Capitol Tuesday hold- ing signs saying “Stop ICE raids” and “Keep Oregon a Sanctuary State” to mark May Day in the Pacific Northwest. Gov. Kate Brown signed bills into law to support Deferred Action for Child- hood Arrivals recipients and immigrants as part of the celebration. “The chaos and uncer- tainty coming from the White House is in direct conflict with our nation’s history, economy, and respect for our immigrant communities,” Brown, a Democrat, said in Peter Roscoe Editor’s note: The candidate profile for Peter Roscoe that appeared in the primary voters guide on Friday incorrectly included information from another candidate.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION A 1964 graduate of Star of the Sea High School, I have been an environmental activist, tree planter, fisherman, city councilor, filmmaker and chef/owner of three restaurants. I have volunteered, contributed and supported many causes in our community: Court Appointed Special Advocates, the Assistance League, Liberty Theatre, Women’s Resource Cen- ter, Salmon For All, Knappa School Foundation, Astoria High School, Astoria Middle School and Astor Elementary School, Astoria Regatta. The list goes on and on because I believe in community and service. I ask for your vote because you know me and you trust me. I am a pragmatic problem solver not governed by a polit- ical platform.

Oregon, Washington sue EPA over emission standards cles built between 2022 and 2025. The states argue those emissions standards for cars and light-duty truck mod- els were put in place to help reduce carbon pollution and oil consumption. “The vehicle emissions standards protect the envi- ronment and save consumers money with better fuel econ- omy,” said Washington Attor- ney General Bob Ferguson in By ERICKA CRUZ GUEVARRA Oregon Public Broadcasting Oregon and Washington state are joining a coalition of 17 states and the District of Columbia in suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its administrator Scott Pruitt over the decision to roll back greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehi- a press release. “The EPA once again is ignoring the needs of con- sumers, its duty to protect the environment and most impor- tantly, the law.” Pruitt, the EPA adminis- trator, has said the standards are costly for automakers and consumers. The EPA began re-examining emissions stan- dards last year. The states have questioned the EPA’s decisions on emis- sions standards throughout the process. In June, they sent a letter to Pruitt threat- ening legal action and argu- ing that those cars and light- duty trucks are responsible for 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The coalition has argued that the car industry is already on track to meet or exceed many of the standards the EPA has argued are too costly for the industry. PUBLIC SERVICE OR VOLUNTEER POSITIONS Astoria Planning Commission, 2004-2005 Astoria City Council, 2005-2012 President, Astoria Regatta, 2013-2014 Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association Board, 2005-2016 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife/WAFW Joint Task Force, 2006-2012 Col-Pac Regional Economic Development Board, 2006-present WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE? Clatsop County needs leadership that is both a strong stew- ard of its land and is business-friendly. If we are to address the pressing need for workforce housing, we need to keep the family wage jobs we have and find new opportunities for more jobs. We cannot do this in a climate that discourages develop- ment. As businesses approach us we must communicate our stewardship so that they understand that we want them here, but our environmental standards must be met before we allow them the opportunity. I believe most businesses welcome a clear path and will be glad to meet our demands if the regula- tions are set forth from the beginning. Committee weighs plans for scenic waterway on the Nehalem River overview of the state’s Scenic Waterways Program and devel- opment of the draft manage- ment plan.

There are 22 designated waterways through- out the state, including portions of the Clackamas, the Rogue, the Nestucca and the John Day rivers. The draft plan will help the Oregon State Parks and Rec- reation Commission analyze the merits of the proposed designation.

I have been a friend and neighbor of thousands of county residents for many years. I am open to new and old ideas with- out being held to a partisan position dictated by metropolitan politicians. I cherish the natural beauty of our area. I believe that being a county commissioner will give me the opportu- nity to preserve the county’s unique and singular nature while furthering the economic growth we need. Clatsop County is an extremely important cog in Oregon’s future and this posi- tion has a requirement to lead toward that future. DEATH ALMANAC Shown is tomorrow's weather.
