7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 2018 Jobs: Average wage in the county overall last year was $36,822 Continued from Page 1A those health care positions will continue to grow,” she said. The state is looking at incorporating a new standard for family self-sufficiency cre- ated by a professor at the Uni- versity of Washington into regional economic analy- ses, Sykes said. Researchers with the university’s Center for Women’s Welfare calcu- lated the wages and salaries needed for various family sizes to afford housing, food, health care, child care, trans- portation, taxes and other liv- ing costs without public assis- tance, while having leftover money to save. In Clatsop County, a single parent with two children would need to earn $36,299 annually to be self-sufficient, accord- ing to the report. The cost of self-sufficiency increases to $44,837 for a two-parent household with two kids. Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Staff at Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria work at one of the facility’s nursing stations. The health care field is expected to expand by 11 percent over the next decade in Northwest Oregon. The average wage in the county overall last year was $36,822, according to the state. Education pays Kevin Leahy, head of Clat- sop Economic Development Resources, said he was sur- prised by the projected growth in lower-wage positions but that Clatsop County has a head start educationally. At least 42 percent of adults in the county have some col- lege, a certificate or a two-year degree, compared to 35 percent statewide. At least 24 percent have a bachelor’s. The state has found that wages increase to more than $38,800 on aver- age with at least some college education, and nearly $40,400 with a two-year degree. Around half of Clatsop Community College’s students enroll in workforce training programs, compared to stu- dents transferring to a univer- sity. The college has several flagship career-technical pro- grams in historic preservation, firefighting, welding, automo- tive, maritime, medical, busi- ness and accounting fields. The college also tries to promote and provide training for good-paying local oppor- tunities, from forest products and fishing to insurance and accounting, Leahy said, espe- cially with much of the work- force approaching retirement. “Our college needs to focus on jobs that require a higher education, because those are the jobs people need to afford homes,” Leahy said. Students: Program aims to teach students about conservation Continued from Page 1A happens, it’s also just that we do want to instill in them understanding and apprecia- tion for the national parks.” The Student Conserva- tion Association students who attended on Wednesday had already spent the past week working to eradicate invasive plant species from the Yeon property while camping in tents nearby. The national pro- gram aims to teach students about hands-on environment conservation. Though the work is labor-intensive, the partici- pants, who are from across the U.S., described loving it. “I love camping and the out- doors, so this is a great way to help out and meet people who have the same interests in con- servation,” said Julian Lichten- feld, a student from Florida. With the week of work they already completed, the students saw the many piles of Scotch Hannah Sievert/The Daily Astorian Student Conservation Association participants help clear Scotch broom from a property in Warrenton. broom they’ve helped eradi- cate. The visual aid helped keep spirits high. “An hour and a half ago this was all covered in Scotch broom, and now it’s stumps and open field,” Carmen Simons, a student from New York, said. “It’s rewarding to see that and know seeds under here will be getting sunlight and water. Things can start growing. That’s why I think it’s fun.” Youth programs like the Scotch broom cleanup can be effective in inspiring stu- dents to consider careers in the national parks early on. Cole said many parks staff she works with started out in one of the programs. Getting involved with a parks program or intern- ship can give job candidates a leg up when applying for full-time positions, which are highly competitive. Grant Bassett, a college senior from Texas, started out working in the Youth Conserva- tion Corps in 2014. Since then, he’s worked at national parks every summer through the Path- ways program. He plans on applying for a full-time job with the national parks next year. Now, as a seasonal biolog- ical technician at Lewis and Clark, Bassett spends time eradicating invasive species and working with students in the program he started out in. “They’re sweet kids,” Bas- sett said. “It’s cool getting to be a part of their development.” The excitement and interest can also inspire veteran staff. “It’s hard to keep the pas- sion up every day, but it’s neat working with these kids,” Cole said. “So many of them get really excited by the work we’re doing. Seeing them get excited about the work helps me get excited about it too.” Hannah Sievert/The Daily Astorian A camp counselor shows off her ‘beed.’ Stings: Counselors said the campers showed resilience afterward Continued from Page 1A “Everybody started screaming ‘run,’ ‘go,’ cry- ing and yelling … it was very scary,” Andrew said. Marge Huddleston, the chairwoman of the camp’s board of directors, said she was impressed by the matu- rity of the campers, staff and the medics who responded. The campers ranged from third to eighth grades. “I don’t want to make light of it,” she said. “It was trau- matic. Every staff member will remember what they did and how they responded.” Camp counselors said the campers showed resilience afterward. Though several campers went home Wednes- day night, many were back participating in activities by the next day. All campers will go home with a special bead — dubbed a ‘beed,’ a play on words — to remember their week. The camp was the last session Kiwanilong will offer this summer. “We’re calling it, ‘going out with a buzz,’” Kim Moroney, one of the camp directors, said. Matthews: Final performance as ‘Mama’ will be in late August Continued from Page 1A Patricia VonVintage, the directing manager at Astor Street, who plays the role of “Vivian,” said Matthews brings a commitment to her role that can be inspiring to some of the younger cast members. When VonVintage first saw Matthews dancing across the stage during her solo song and dance act, “The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune,” VonVintage realized she could bring more energy and move- ment to her own performance. “You gotta be as good as Kathy,” VonVintage said. “She’s in there showing it, so us young bucks are defi- nitely making sure we have to pick up our game. She’s such a good character actor in that way. It makes us all step up our game.” When Matthews isn’t at rehearsals, on stage or at the church, she is the owner of an antique shop in down- town Astoria, What-nots & Whimsy. Next year, she hopes to move on from the show to spend more time traveling with her husband. For her final performance in late August, two of her great-grandchildren will visit Astoria to watch Matthews perform as “Mama” one last time. “She’s someone we will always look toward for inspi- ration,” VonVintage said. “Kathy will always be there in spirit and she’ll always be coming in to help. She’s not leaving us whether she’s on stage or not.” CLASSIFIEDINDEX classifieds NOTICES MARINE RENTALS Special Notices ............................. 104 Boats for Sale................................. 251 Public Notices ............................... 107 Boating Parts & Accessories ..... 254 Announcements .......................... 110 Boats Wanted ................................ 257 Boat Trailers ................................... 260 PERSONALS Marine Supplies & Equip. .......... 266 Lost & Found ................................. 181 Boat/RV Storage ........................... 269 Personals ........................................ 184 Fund-raisers ................................... 188 RVs & Trailers RVs & Travel Trailers ............ 301-307 AUTOMOTIVE Campers, Utility Trailers .... 310-313 Antiques/Classic Vehicles ......... 201 Automobiles .................................. 204 REAL ESTATE SUVs/Trucks .......................... 207-210 Open Houses ................................. 501 4WD .................................................. 213 For Sale ................................... 504-513 Vans .................................................. 216 Lots & Acreage .............................. 516 ATVs/Motorcycles ........................ 219 Income Property .......................... 519 Truck/Auto Parts .......................... 222 Manufactured Homes ................ 522 Detailing ......................................... 225 Commercial Property ................. 525 Tires & Wheels ............................... 228 Real Estate Wanted ..................... 531 A small town newspaper with a global outlook T HE D AILY A STORIAN Sale dates: 8/1 - 9/15 In need of some volunteers!
