What’s been your go-to song this summer?
“Bon Jovi, ‘With or
Without You.’ I like
it because it has an
unanswered ques-
tion in it.”
“Probably Taylor Swift,
‘This Is Why We Can’t
Have Nice Things.’
It’s catchy. My kids
know all the words.
It’s also kind of true,
being the mother of little
kids who break everything.”

Newton plans to run for
re-election in Warrenton
First elected to
post in 2014
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — City
Commissioner Rick New-
ton said Tuesday that he
plans to run for re-election in
November.
“I’ve got a lot of projects
underway that I’m not done
with,” he said.
Newton, who was first
elected in 2014, has taken the
lead on the commission in pre-
paring Warrenton for emergen-
cies and natural disasters. The
issue is a priority on the North
Coast because of the poten-
tial for a Cascadia Subduction
Zone earthquake and tsunami.

Dec. 15, 1952 — Aug. 5, 2018
Jack Leslie Phillips, age 65, died of compli-
cations following pancreatic cancer on Aug. 5,
2018, in his home, surrounded by his sons.
Jack was born on Dec. 15, 1952, in Port-
land, Oregon, and graduated from Seaside
High School in 1971. Soon after graduation
he enlisted in the Air Force, and was based in
Phoenix, Arizona, until his return to Seaside in
1973, where he met Viola “Brandy” Forbes.
The couple married in 1976 on the Washing-
ton coast. They moved to Portland in 1979, and
he accepted a position as a bus operator at Tri-
Met in Portland, where he worked for more than
34 years.
Jack is survived by his two children, Steven
and Travis Phillips, of Vancouver, Washington;

Zone change at Spur 104 in Warrenton
delayed until fall over traffic concerns
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — After
learning that a traffic impact
study was inaccurate, the City
Commission voted Tuesday
to delay a zone change on
land between U.S. Highway
101 and Spur 104 that could
prompt new housing and
business development.
Mayor Henry Balensifer
asked for more time in July
to review the traffic study
prepared by city consul-
tants. The Oregon Depart-
ment of Transportation has
since informed the city that
the study was in error.

fall.
The plan is expected to
have more flexibility for
intersection
operations,
including a left turn lane
on Spur 104 onto the busy
Ensign Lane.
Commissioners
voted
unanimously to wait, with
some citing other develop-
ment mistakes in the area.
“I can respect the home-
owners’ situation out in that
neighborhood,”
Commis-
sioner Pam Ackley said, “but
we’ve done a few things
wrong. And I don’t think we
should do it wrong again.”
The city sponsored the
zone change on about 20
acres near the Ocean Crest
car dealership because of the
potential for redevelopment,
including workforce hous-
ing. The zoning would shift
from mostly intermediate
density residential and gen-
eral industrial to commercial
mixed use.
Several property owners
are eager for the change and
urged the commission to act
on Tuesday. But Kevin Cro-

PORTLAND — Oregon
says its unemployment rate
for July was the lowest in 42
years of keeping comparable
records.
The state reported Tuesday
that the July rate was 3.9 per-
cent, a slight dip from June’s
rate of 4.0 percent.

That’s the lowest rate since
1976.
The U.S. unemployment
rate exactly matched Oregon’s
rate in both months.
During the past two years,
Oregon’s unemployment rate
has been remarkably low and
steady.
The rate was either 4.1 per-
cent or 4.2 percent each month
stretching from January 2017
to May 2018.
In July, Oregon’s nonfarm
payroll employment rose by
5,400 jobs, following a revised
over-the-month gain of 6,600
jobs in June.
Monthly job gains were
concentrated in retail trade,
construction and health care
and social assistance.

increases.
