5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 11, 2018 Model: Ultimate goal is to persuade city to develop a plan to retrofit every bridge Continued from Page 1A Photos by Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Jonathan Jessop grades sand off a sculpture while the family dog takes advantage of the sun. Contest: ‘To me, this means family’ Continued from Page 1A But the Jessop’s success at competitive sand sculpt- ing is rooted in a humble beginning. “I just wanted something to do with my kids when they were little,” Yvonne Jessop said. As the mother of five, Jes- sop found the contest on the internet and decided to sign the family up. “I remember thinking, ‘We can build a sandcastle,’” she said, “meanwhile hav- ing no idea – none at all – of what these kind of sandcas- tles looked like.” In their first year compet- ing in the large group divi- sion, the family was floored by what they saw from other teams. So they trained, bought books, studied the tools other teams used and eventually geared up to com- pete in the Masters Division three years later. The day of competition was 42 degrees and rain- ing, causing everything they made to slump and melt. Their spirits, however, remained unaffected. “I didn’t know if my kids would ever want to try that again,” Jessop said. “But when we got back to camp, they said, ‘What are we going to make next year?’” And the kids — now mostly in their 20s — have kept asking that question as they each have made an annual pilgrimage to Cannon Beach to compete. Jonathan Jessop, who started building at 14, is now 25 and flies in from Hawaii each year for the contest. “To me, this means fam- ily. It’s not about winning, it’s about the fun,” Jona- than Jessop said. “It’s defi- Rethati: Plans to study at Clatsop Community College Continued from Page 1A Yvonne and Juliette Jessop wheel buckets of water to their sandcastle plot.

Hawaii has plenty of those.” As the kids have grown, so has the team as new in-laws and girlfriends are roped into the family tradition. No mat- ter how they place, Yvonne Jessop said after nine years of competition the family has received something greater. “(Competing) has made us work together better than anything else. Like any team, there’s conflict.

One upsetting aspect of gradu- ating early is she can no longer play for the school, she said. Rethati earned 12 dual high school and college credits through the academy and plans to continue her studies at Clat- sop Community College. She will then transfer to a univer- sity to study clinical psychol- ogy, an interest she said was born of her own experiences studying independently. “I’ve always been inter- ested in psychology, because of the whole accelerated learn- ing thing,” she said. “I started thinking about it at 14. Why am I ahead (in) grades? Why are these other kids smart and not doing the same thing?” Are You Losing “Family Care”? I’M HERE TO HELP!

As the kids have grown, we’ve learned how to communi- cate and solve problems dif- ferently than we would have otherwise.” Rethati credits her mother, Beverly Nelson, for keep- ing her on track. Her brother, Zack, 12, is also involved with the online school and recently tested into the ninth grade. Although she opted to learn online, Rethati has remained involved with the Knappa School District, playing soft- ball in every grade except sixth. She is also a counselor at Camp Kiwanilong, volunteers during skate nights at the Asto- ria Armory and likes to photo- graph concerts. Rethati made the Knappa High School’s varsity soft- ball team at 13, when she was already 5 feet 8 inches. She was a designated hitter and WANTED INSIDER THE DAILY ASTORIAN A “After a certain point, your return on investment might not be to fix more bridges, but take those resources and put it toward a vertical evacuation structure,” Cox said. “It might not even be infrastructure. You could possibly use resources in more education, et cetera.” The integrity of Seaside’s bridges during a seismic event is not a new concern. In 2015, Transportation for America, a Washington, D.C.-based infra- structure advocacy group, found seven of 10 bridges in Seaside were “structurally deficient.” But the conversation has mostly focused around struc- tural deficiencies rather than population distribution, and the timing of the new study could possibly influence the out- come of a work session sched- uled in July centered around designing a strategy for bridge replacement. City Councilor Tom Horn- ing, a geologist who will lead the discussion, has been an advocate for replacing bridges at Avenue U and Avenue G in particular. He wants to make sure areas on the south end of town with evacuation times estimated at 35 minutes will have a reliable and quick way out to high ground. But his ultimate goal is to persuade the city to develop a plan that retrofits every bridge. “Seaside, because of geo- graphic layout and rivers, is one of the most challenging com- munities on the coast,” Horning said, in reference to evacuating in a tsunami. “There’s a strat- egy in focusing on population concentrations and prioritizing based on that. But every bridge needs to be done. We don’t want to find ourselves in a Hurricane Katrina situation, where we knew there was something that could be done but didn’t do it.” Cox and Wang empha- sized their research — funded by the Oregon Sea Grant and the National Science Founda- tion — is not an end-all solu- tion for tsunami preparations in Seaside. The two are working on a new study on the most effec- tive locations for vertical evac- uation structures in Seaside, of which there are many, prelimi- nary research shows. They are also working on new simula- tions that account for a tourist population who may not know the most efficient route to high ground, different weather con- ditions and different times of day — all factors that change human behavior and could pro- vide new recommendations. “A lot of decisions have eco- nomic and social factors. We’re just trying to do a piece of the puzzle,” Cox said.
