‘What does the Fourth of July mean to you?’
“It’s full of patriotic
memories, family,
and what’s unique
about our beautiful
country.”
“It means coming
to Astoria to visit
family. It used to be
about fireworks, but
we’re older now.”
Karen White,
Okanogan, Washington
“Celebrating our
independence and
diversity.”

“It would be nice to have
some kind of a horse race,
though,” he said.
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.

SATURDAY
CANNON BEACH —
Longtime resident and real
estate agent Robin Risley has
announced her intention to
run for the Cannon Beach City
Council.
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.”
