But the Astoria man who protested how the men- tally ill are treated by standing naked with a sign on Marine Drive over the Memorial Day weekend says he will run for mayor. He plans to use his candi- dacy “to advocate for those people and things I feel pas- sionate about, as a way of inviting others to share their views, and to uplift some who are usually invisible to our community’s ‘little chairs of power.’” Miller, also known by his nickname “Sasha,” is a famil- iar figure in Astoria, often seen riding his bike with a dog or two following close behind. He has lived here on and off for 26 years. This will be his first time running for public office. He will run against City Councilor Cindy Price and downtown business owner Dulcye Taylor. Miller announced his can- didacy on Facebook last week, but only just secured the signatures he needs to be considered a candidate.

She will serve next year as editor-in-chief. During her time with The Beacon, Sievert has reported on a wide swath of campus issues, from a perceived lack of diversity on campus to stu- dents who want to join the clergy, a topic for which she won a national feature-writing award from the Society of Pro- fessional Journalists. “That was so interesting just talking to them, because it’s so countercultural for these kids to say, ‘Yes; I’m ready for a life of celibacy,’” she said. Her most difficult story to decipher, she said, was report- ing on a professor’s and his students’ research into poten- tially harmful odors being released by Daimler Trucks North America, located in the Swan Island industrial cen- ter just below the universi- ty’s campus. Sievert’s most recent story with The Beacon highlighted several nonbinary students. “It was a privilege to tell their story,” she said. “A lot of them are very nervous about people knowing, but they were also like, ‘This story needs to be told so other kids who feel like me feel free to express themselves.’” Sievert isn’t set on what aspect of the media she would like to work in and hopes the Snowden internship will help her test the waters as a reporter. The Snowden program, named after the longtime editor of The Oregonian and Oregon Jour- nal, places college students in a paid summer internship with newspapers around the state. When she’s not working, Sievert said, she likes to run, hike and work on her photog- raphy and radio skills. June 18, 2018 HEITSTUMAN, Don- ald Joseph, 86, of Seaside, died in Portland.

She grew enamored with National Public Radio’s “This Ameri- can Life,” a weekly radio pro- gram and podcast hosted by Ira Glass, even receiving an auto- graphed letter and photo of the journalist from her mother as a graduation present. Sievert, 20, now a senior at the University of Portland and the editor of the campus news- paper, The Beacon, is spend- ing her summer as The Daily Astorian’s intern through the Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism. Both of Sievert’s parents work in business and encour- aged her to try a different field, she said. She studies organiza- tional communication with an English minor, mixing her lit- erary pursuits with an under- standing of effective commu- nication skills. She joined The Beacon her freshman year as a way to integrate on campus and has worked her way up the ranks June 19, 2018 JONES, Lola W., 85, of Astoria, died in Astoria.
