7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2018 Underground: Daly hopes to expand the tours Continued from Page 1A tour, and we want them to have fun. That’s the goal.” The tour passes a re-created under- ground squatter’s wall and touches on quirky characters from the city’s past. One is Jack the Cat, who Daly described as an African-American former Navy submari- ner who used to give $1 shoe shines under- ground below a former barber shop. “He never went above,” Daly said. “The barbers always got his groceries and every- thing else.” The tour stops by an exhibit on the Astoria Clowns, a former civic group that included Daly’s father. It snakes around Daly’s work- shop under the sidewalk on 11th Street to a vent for a former auto body shop, used by Daly as a prop to describe the shanghaiing of unsuspecting sailors onto ships. Off to the sides are smaller tunnels, blocked by gates, leading to the city’s exten- sive underground chairwall network lined with live electrical lines, gas pipes and other dangers. Jeff Harrington, the city’s public works director, said the city’s only concern was that Daly restrict the tour to his space. Beyond restricting the public’s access to Daly’s property, “it’s really no different than Hotel Elliott having the cigar bar down there,” Harrington said. Daly hopes to expand the tours to an above-ground discussion about the city’s architecture, then take people beneath Car- ruthers Restaurant to themed rooms mim- icking Chinese bunkhouses, a dental office and a mortuary, finishing off with a speak- easy where people can end their adventure with a drink. Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Bubbles fill the air during an event sponsored by Jeff Daly to preview the upcoming tours of the tunnels under Astoria. Medicaid: Some funding ideas were Adams: Sends her students to deliver floated by opponents of Measure 101 produce to food bank and food pantry Continued from Page 1A PUBLIC MEETING Pamplin Media Group Cap- ital Bureau this week, were mutually exclusive, so all nine options listed in the pre- sentation are more like a menu of options and would not all be deployed at the same time. Some of the potential rev- enue sources, such as a tax on vaping, echo some of the funding ideas floated by opponents of Measure 101, who sought alternative rev- enue sources to the Legisla- ture’s funding plan. Measure 101 asked Ore- gonians whether to affirm or overturn a set of temporary assessments on health care providers to fund the Oregon Health Plan. Voters affirmed the Legislature’s plan by a wide margin. “I think there’s been a pretty clear statement from the people of Oregon that everybody needs to come to the table and figure out a way to pay for this, and sup- ported Measure 101 over- whelmingly,” Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, D-Bea- verton, a family physician, said. “So I think that’s been a good motivator for all of the parties to come to the table in good faith as we negoti- ate this.” The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group. Continued from Page 1A grandfather was known as the person who could grow the best strawberries. Her mother always maintained an acre of gardening space. Growing up, kids could choose between working in the house or weed- ing in the garden. “And I always chose to weed the garden,” Adams said. So the Hammond Commu- nity Garden has been a good fit for her. Adams includes her students in the work, too, sending them off to deliver produce to the regional food bank or the local food pantry. The deliveries help her stu- dents, giving them the expe- rience of taking something to someone else. When the stu- dents deliver to the Warren- ton Food Pantry, they meet the people who are going to bene- fit from the food. An average of six to seven families reserve boxes in the Hammond Community Gar- den each year. Besides provid- ing a fenced-in, deer- and elk- proof area for people to grow food and flowers, the garden is a place where deeper com- munity connections can form, Adams said. “Those of us who are crazy plant people, we just like to talk about plants a lot with each other,” she said. “I’m always hoping to get some children in there or some younger peo- ple that we can educate about growing their own food.” ‘‘ At the Smokehouse Butcher Block we know fresh cuts and smoked meats, however we don’t know advertising.
