2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2018 Zimmerman announces election bid in Gearhart Former energy exec runs for City Council By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian GEARHART — Jack Zimmerman will challenge City Council incumbent Kerry Smith for Position 1 in the November election. Smith was elected to the seat in 2014, defeating incum- bent Al Carder. Zimmerman and his wife, Kathy, have been coming to Gearhart for 26 years, he said, and have lived here full time for two years. He has never run for public office before. Friends encouraged him to run. “I thought maybe there was some merit to it,” he said. He said he was moti- Jack Zimmerman vated to run by his love for the city and a desire to “keep Gearhart Gearhart.” “The minute you get into Gearhart, you can decom- press,” Zimmerman said. “I don’t want it to look like Sea- side, ever.

Paulina Cockrum, who was appointed by Mayor Dianne Widdop to fill the unexpired term of City Councilor John Duncan after Duncan died in 2015, is so far running unop- posed for Position 3. A warm and dry spring often means large numbers of yellow jacket wasps. Their population usually peaks in late summer. Most are seeking water or defending their nests, which may be in the ground or suspended in trees or houses. Oregon State University entomologist Gail Langellotto warns against going after yel- low jackets, especially with pressurized chemical pesti- cides. Bees could be affected, or people can blast them- selves, accidentally. It’s just better to wait. “Yellow jackets do not reuse the same nesting site from year to year. They even- tually take off in the fall-win- ter time period. They will get rid of themselves, if you can WEDNESDAY The U.S. Drought Monitor says the entire state of Wash- ington is abnormally dry. In Oregon, nearly 90 percent of the state is facing moderate to severe drought. “What we’re experiencing is part of what the entire Western 69 58 58 Mostly cloudy Astoria Jan. 23, 1941 — Aug. 3, 2018 Times of clouds and sun Mainly cloudy Full Salem 59/94 Newport 56/63 Aug 26 Coos Bay 58/68 New Sep 2 La Grande 50/96 Baker 46/97 Ontario 58/97 Burns 51/89 Roseburg 61/93 Brookings 53/65 Sep 9 John Day 58/95 Bend 54/93 Medford 65/97 Klamath Falls 55/90 Lakeview 49/88 Ashland 63/96 Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2018 UNDER THE SKY Tonight's Sky: The globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) in Pegasus will be well placed for telescope observation.
