Zimmerman announces
election bid in Gearhart
Former energy

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. I want it to look like
it looks now and improve on
that.”
Zimmerman, 69, who is
retired, worked in the energy
industry in a series of mana-
gerial positions. He has owned
and developed property in
Man hit by Astoria Riverfront Trolley

ence, he said, which has given
him insight into working with
government agencies.
Zimmerman said he
believes “the taxpayer in
Gearhart needs more atten-
tion,” and supports Gearhart’s
vacation rental rules.
“My time is a luxury for
me right now, and I can’t find
a better way to spend that cap-
ital than seeing how the gov-
ernment operates,” Zimmer-
man said.
One other council seat will
appear on the ballot.
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

The U.S. Drought Monitor
says the entire state of Wash-

Oregon, nearly 90 percent of
the state is facing moderate to
severe drought.
