cellular data chips. The chips
allow criminals to access infor-
mation remotely, removing the
need to return to the ATM.
“It makes it very difficult
for law enforcement to find
out who’s doing it,” Cooper
said. “Every time it becomes
more obvious what the crimi-
nals are doing, they change their
techniques.”

from
both local banks say no cus-
tomer information was ille-
gally accessed from the recent
incidents.
The Warrenton skimmer
case is the first Wauna has seen,
said Chief Marketing Officer
Debi Smiley, who has worked
at the credit union for about 30
years. She noted that the ATM
— located in a shopping square
with an increasing number of
surrounding businesses — is
one of the company’s busiest.
“It’s becoming very preva-
lent at the moment, so there are
a lot of precautions going on,”
Smiley said.
Both banks have been
checking ATMs several times
each day, and customers can
sign up for notifications alert-
ing them when cards are used.

Skimmers are devices placed over the part of an ATM that accepts cards to record cus-
tomer information.
The best remedy, however, is
awareness.
Along with the typical pre-
cautions — highly visible
places, trustworthy businesses
— it’s best to insert credit cards
into machines that use EMV
chip technology, Cooper said.
EMV chips are typically placed
on the left or right of the front
side of a credit card to make
Drafall: Hairdresser to
run for City Council
Continued from Page 1A
In Astoria, Drafall was the
co-owner of the former DJ’s
Vinyl Vegan food cart and
treasurer of the Lower Colum-
bia Q Center. He has also
been involved with the Union-
town Association and Finnish
Brotherhood.
Drafall said his connection
to Uniontown through work
prompted his decision to run.
“I complain about things
happening here all the time.
So I thought, ‘OK, run,’” he
said. “I don’t have the educa-
tion background, but I have the
background of living here for
31 years. I can learn on the job,
you know. I’m for the working
guy, that’s why I got into it.”
Drafall identified housing,
speeding on Marine Drive and
development on the waterfront
as some of his core issues.

Specifically, he lamented
dwindling views of the river
and called for a more thorough
development plan for the area.
“I don’t care about the
developers, I care about the
people of Astoria,” he said.
The next question with the
Aug. 28 filing deadline loom-
ing: Will Drafall have an
opponent?
“I’m watching the race
unfold and considering run-
ning for re-election,” Nemlow-
ill said in a text message.
In the end, Nemlowill’s
decision did not affect Dra-
fall’s thinking.
“I had heard she was not
going to run, so I said, ‘Well,
you know.’ Then I decided I was
going to run whether she ran or
not,” he said. “I appreciate Zetty
for doing as good a job as she
could do, and I hope I can do as
good a job — if not better.”

whether the card moves at an
unusual speed when entering

“It’s really a matter of aware-
ness, and I think as people get
used to using their chip func-

per said. “But it’s going to be
around a while. That’s for sure.”
them more secure. Most com-
panies now use the chips to
avoid forcing customers to
fully insert them.
“The better physical control
over your card and how you
use your card makes a big dif-
ference,” Cooper said.
Cooper noted a few things
to look for when using a more
standard ATM: materials on

with my fellow candidates to
earn the opportunity to serve
our community as mayor.”
Jones, a former com-
mander at Coast Guard Sec-
tor Columbia River, is the dep-
uty director of the Columbia
River Maritime Museum. He
was elected in 2016 to repre-
sent the east side’s Ward 4.
His four-year term on the
City Council is not up until
2020. If he is elected mayor
in November, he would resign
his council seat and the coun-
cil would either appoint some-
one to serve out the remainder
of his term, call a special elec-
tion to fill the seat until 2020
or wait until the 2020 election.
Jones had indicated earlier
this year he would not run for
mayor because he wanted to
focus his time and energy on
his job at the museum. He was
named second in command at
the museum last October.
Price’s withdrawal influ-
enced his decision. “Over the
last several days I started just
taking another look at the pos-
sibility of running for mayor,”
he said.
Jones has “had the chance
to understand the rhythm of
my full-time job and I just
decided that I could manage
serving as mayor as well as
working at the museum,” he
said.
Taylor described Wednes-
day as a “roller-coaster day”
in the campaign. She said she
spoke with Jones on Wednes-
day night.
“I think it will make it inter-
esting,” she said. “I like Bruce.
He’s a good guy.”
Michael “Sasha” Miller, an
activist, is also a candidate.
Scoop: Shop branches out

They reached out and hired
Fritz to make their ice cream
in Forest Grove. Another
employee, Kylee Winlund,
was offered the store man-
ager position in exchange for
moving to Forest Grove.
“It’s pretty wild,” Lisa
Malcolm said of being able
to promote from within. “We
had a going-away party for
Macen. We thought that was
it, but then it just fell in our
laps.”
SCHEDULE
The Malcolms will begin
the buildout of the new shop
in September and hope to
open by Thanksgiving. In
addition to their existing ice
cream, the new shop will offer
vegan soft serve and espresso.
Frite & Scoop joins a
small list of coastal com-
panies that have expanded
into the Portland metro area.
Gimre’s Shoe Store, started
in Astoria, has a location in
Hillsboro. Seaside-based Pig
’N Pancake has a location in
Portland.
