2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2018 Three Astoria businesses win Astoria student faces menacing statewide downtown awards charge after alleged threats The Daily Astorian Three Astoria businesses received awards Wednesday at the Oregon Main Street conference in Albany. Mo’s Chowder, a coastal seafood chain that opened in 2017 along the Astoria River- walk, won the award for best adaptive reuse. The company converted a former location of Englund Marine & Industrial Supply into a large restaurant and commercial chowder kitchen. The $3 million renovation added 80 windows along the Columbia River, a 160-per- son dining area and windows for visitors to view the chow- der production. The restau- rant and production facility created 30 full-time and 40 part-time jobs. Lunch counter Good to Go won the award for best new business. Owners Heidi and Dan Dlubac rehabilitated the former Danish Maid Bak- ery downtown into a takeout, snack and catering venue. Gimre’s Shoes, the old- est family owned shoe store west of the Rockies, won the award for best retailer of the year. The store was founded in 1892 by Sven Gimre, grandfather of current owner Pete Gimre. “The award winners reflect some of the high- est achievements in down- town revitalization efforts across the state,” Sheri Stu- art, state coordinator for Ore- gon Main Street, said in a release. “It is gratifying to see the progress being made to revitalize historic down- towns across the state. This is happening because of the dedicated staff and volunteers who share a commitment to their downtowns and a pas- sion to make their communi- ties a better place.” By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian A 15-year-old Astoria High School student who allegedly made verbal threats against another student will face a mis- demeanor charge of menacing.

Oman was a runner, according to the indictment. Roger Roger, of Hialeah, Florida, allegedly supervised the operations. To help conceal their iden- tity, the men allegedly used aliases and a variety of tech- nologies, such as a system that made it appear they were calling from inside the U.S. On several occasions, they falsely claimed that they were federal agents. The money would then be sent, sometimes directly to Costa Rica, via Western Union, MoneyGram, money orders, direct deposits or wires.

They allegedly called people in the U.S. to inform them they had won a “prize,” usually $450,000, and needed to send money such as insurance and custom fees or taxes to claim it. After receiving the money, they would call back and ask for more money, either because of clerical errors or because the victims’ prize was upped to as much as $4.5 million.
