Many of the priorities Steidel held in his last cam- paign remain the same, includ- ing purchasing the Cannon Beach Elementary School site, developing the 55-acre South Wind property and building affordable housing. Most of these issues have been stalled during his first term, but Steidel hopes a fresh staff at City Hall and the ben- efit of council continuity will lead to progress. “You have to keep dis- cussions going to get to our goals,” he said. There are three coun- cil positions on the ballot in November, including Steidel’s seat. City Councilor Mike Benefield has not indicated whether he plans to run again.

Risley intends to vie for the seat held by City Councilor George Vetter, who announced earlier this year he will not seek re-election. Mayor Sam Steidel also announced his re-election cam- paign at Tuesday’s City Coun- cil meeting. Over the course of three decades, Risley has served on several boards and committees, including the Cannon Beach and Clatsop County planning commissions, the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commis- sion and Cannon Beach Cham- ber of Commerce board. She was also appointed the presi- dent of the Clatsop Association of Realtors last year. Her decision is largely driven by timing, as she will be ending terms as a planning commissioner and chamber board member this year. “I love Cannon Beach, and I want to be a part of the deci- sion-making,” Risley said. If elected, Risley would work on finding solutions for the Cannon Beach Elemen- tary School property, rebuild- ing City Hall and other capital projects on the city’s plate. Pri- orities for Risley are bolstering the arts, as well as preserving the character of Cannon Beach for both full-time residents and tourists. “Keeping the culture of the community I think is a high priority,” Risley said. Steidel, elected in 2014, wants to run again to keep working on “unfinished busi- ness.” He also said he “didn’t Plans are in motion to begin developing Astoria’s Union- town and the city is looking for input. A survey asks the area’s residents, businesses and prop- erty owners their opinion about the “current needs and future vision of the Uniontown area.” Uniontown serves as Asto- ria’s northwest gateway but has not received the same kind of attention or investment as the downtown core, city staff have noted in past discussions. The area has long been known as a center for industrial and commercial activity. The waterfront area houses sev- eral hotels and Port of Asto- ria facilities such as the West Mooring Basin marina, among other businesses. In February, the City Coun- cil gave the go-ahead for the “Uniontown Reborn” project, an effort funded by state grant money and intended to coordi- nate future land use and trans- portation improvements while identifying opportunities for economic revitalization. A study will lay the ground- work for different improve- ments for streetscapes and the gateway area within Union- town, with zoning code requirements and impacts on development in mind. The survey asks participants questions about themselves and about the Uniontown area as they perceive it now, what they would like in the future, transportation options, traffic issues and community priori- ties, among other topics. The survey also asks participants to identify the top three locations in Uniontown “most in need of enhancement.” To take the Union- town survey, visit tiny.cc/ uniontownrebornsurvey 11-13-FREE-19-22-25-32 Estimated jackpot: $30,000 Tuesday’s Mega Millions: 13-35-45-49-68, Mega Ball: 23, Megaplier: 2 Estimated jackpot: $256 million WASHINGTON Tuesday’s Daily Game: 5-1-4 Tuesday’s Keno: 01-02-05-06- 09-11-12-16-30-32-36-53-54- 58-61-62-63-71-77-78 Tuesday’s Match 4: 05-11-12- 14 LOTTERIES OREGON Tuesday’s Pick 4: 1 p.m.: 3-4-5-4 4 p.m.: 9-6-6-0 7 p.m.: 4-0-0-6 10 p.m.: 9-8-0-3 Tuesday’s Lucky Lines: 03-05- The Daily Astorian Established July 1, 1873 (USPS 035-000) Published daily, except Saturday and Sunday, by EO Media Group, 949 Exchange St., PO Box 210, Astoria, OR 97103 Telephone 503- 325-3211, 800-781-3211 or Fax 503-325-6573.
