2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018 The Harbor searches for a new director Turnout high in midterms, ballots due 8 p.m. Tuesday 2014, according to the Sec- retary of State’s office. The statewide turnout for this year’s midterms has even approached that of the 2012 presidential election, when 899,715 ballots were cast statewide. Along with strong turnout, the increased bal- lot returns are also driven by population growth. “It is fantastic that over 881,128 Oregonians have already turned in their bal- lots,” Secretary of State Dennis Richardson said in a news release. “I encourage all eligible voters to return your ballot to an official drop box soon. Your community needs your voice.” The Daily Astorian Voter turnout in Tues- day’s election had sur- passed 40 percent by Friday, with more than 11,403 bal- lots coming in from Clatsop County’s 27,941 registered voters. Ballots are due by 8 p.m. Tuesday and can no longer be mailed in. Ballot drop sites include the County Clerk’s office at 820 Exchange St. in Astoria, a 24-hour drop box outside, Cannon Beach City Hall at 163 E. Gower Ave., Gear- hart City Hall at 698 Pacific Way, Seaside City Hall at 989 Broadway, Warrenton City Hall at 225 S. Main Ave., Knappa High School at 41535 Old U.S. Highway 30, the Mist-Birkenfeld Fire Hall at 12525 Oregon High- way 202 and the Clatskanie Library at 11 Lillich St. Statewide ballot returns, at 881,715 as of Thursday, have surpassed the previous high of 702,437 for turnout in a midterm election set in Pringle steps down for family reasons By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Harbor, the regional advocacy group for victims of sexual and domestic violence, is looking for a new executive director. Molly Pringle, who joined the agency in January, announced in late October that she is leaving because of unex- pected family circumstances. Her last day will be Dec. 21. “Though there is never a good time to depart, I made the difficult decision to hand off leadership now because The Harbor has grown so much in 2018 and is in a promising posi- tion to emerge from this transi- tion with positive momentum,” she said. “In fact, I am on good terms with The Harbor and will continue supporting our devel- opment and fundraising as we seek new leadership.” Pringle is the fourth direc- tor since Pat Burness retired in 2012 after 20 years with the organization. Her successor, Julie Soderberg, left without explanation in 2015. Melissa Van Horn started in early 2016 but left without explanation after several months. Sue Farmer, a former board member, served as an interim executive director until Pringle was hired.

Molly Pringle is stepping down as executive director of The Harbor. Much of her work since joining The Harbor has been to figure out, fine-tune and build on what works with the organization, Pringle said. The agency recently received a government grant to place vic- tim’s advocates in health care settings, and another from the Meyer Memorial Trust to ask marginalized social groups what they would like to see from The Harbor, she said. The Harbor receives about 60 percent of its funding from government grants, along with 20 percent from founda- tions and the rest from private donors, Pringle said. Many of the grants require local matches. The next big push for the organization is a winter fundraising campaign seeking monthly donations to help pro- vide more reliable local fund- ing to help leverage grants, she said. The Harbor has made other recent moves to stabilize fund- ing and focus on core services. It closed the unprofitable Deja Vu thrift store down- town and scrapped an expen- sive remodel of the Van Dusen Building into a new head- quarters. The agency instead sold the Van Dusen Building to coworking group Astoria Maker Industries and is rent- ing office space in the former Snow & Snow law firm. Pringle is well-regarded by the community and by The Har- bor’s staff, said Mindy Stokes, chairwoman of the group’s board. “Losing her is a loss to the community,” she said. Her job has been posted with regional sexual and domestic violence organiza- tions and will remain open until filled. A hiring commit- tee of two staffers, two board members and a representa- tive from the community will choose Pringle’s replacement. The Harbor is looking for someone who has experience related to sexual and domes- tic violence issues, along with a knowledge of nonprofits, bud- gets and writing grants, Stokes said. “We really want some- one who can partner well with leaders in the community, law enforcement, health care, the Lower Columbia Hispanic Council, that kind of stuff,” she said.
