2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2018 What’s a favorite Thanksgiving memory? “At my aunt’s house, we always do Christmas games on Thanksgiving Day, because the family is all together.” Brandon Kuklentz, Astoria THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “My favorite, which is also the funniest, is when my grandmother, in her 90s, at the Thanksgiving table, all during dinner kept asking, ‘How much does the turkey weigh?’ She just kept asking.” “When my mom and dad were here, and all eight of us kids, and all the grandkids, got together for Thanksgiv- ing. The last time was three years ago.” Cindy Peake, Knappa Billie O’Bryant, Warrenton County employment Seaside and school district consider deal for water tank declines in winter The Daily Astorian Clatsop County’s season- ally adjusted unemployment rate in October climbed back above 4 percent for the first time since April, according to state figures. The county still had the eighth-lowest employ- ment rate out of 36 state- wide and the lowest it’s seen in decades. October was the first time since April that the county’s unemployment rate surpassed the state’s, at 3.8 percent, and the first ment rose by 100. Leisure and hospitality cut 370 jobs, food manufacturing 110 and retail trade 100. Local gov- ernment agencies added 170 jobs. Throughout the year, leisure and hospitality added 220 jobs and retail trade 140. Professional and business services cut 90 posi- tions, and local government excluding education cut 50. Nearly 100 state jobs were reclassified into private-sec- tor education and health services. time since May it was higher than the national rate, at 3.7 percent. Seasonally adjusted fig- ures compare expected eco- nomic changes between busy summer and slow win- ter seasons with reality. The county was expected to shed 550 jobs in October but lost an additional 40. The county was at 18,700 nonfarm pay- roll jobs, 30 more than the year prior. Throughout October, the private sector cut 690 jobs, while government employ- FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT THURSDAY FRIDAY 45 52 43 A little rain early, then a shower Breezy with occasional rain ALMANAC Last Salem 42/52 Newport 45/53 Nov 29 First Dec 6 a school district subcontractor was considered too high, com- ing in at more than $100,000. “I’m not at all comfortable with the price tag we have,” Winstanley said. “Hopefully, we will get better proposals. We do believe we have the right site. But we have more work to do.” Along with the tank, the city will seek easements across school district property in the Southeast Hills where infra- structure may be needed for future development. Seaside School District board chairman Steve Phillips praised the city and school dis- trict’s collaborative efforts. “It gets back into working together for the good of the community,” he said. “It’s not just the water tank, but you’re also looking for easements north and south of the prop- erty to deliver water to new properties. We see the value of that for the community and we want to work in that partnership.” Burns 22/46 Lakeview 30/42 Ashland 41/50 Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2018 Source: Jim Todd, OMSI TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 6:09 a.m. 7:03 p.m. Low 2.2 ft. -0.6 ft.

The city would foot the bill for the storage tank, located on land donated by Weyerhaeuser Co. to the school district in 2016. In exchange, the school district would deed the 3-acre reservoir site to the city for $1. A likely location for the tank on the property has been identified, City Manager Mark Winstanley said at a City Council work session Monday. But city engineers want a more in-depth analysis of the site before moving ahead. Shown is tomorrow's weather. Temperatures are tonight's lows and tomorrow's highs.

MARX The Daily Astorian “There’s quite a bit of ground cover, and we don’t have enough information to know what the ground looks like at this point,” Winstan- ley said. “We’re not going to acquire the property until we know we have the right site.” If the site is determined suit- able and negotiations between the school district and city are successful, the city could start design and construction of the storage tank. Once the reservoir is built, older pump stations currently serving the area — including nearby communities like Sun- set Hills and Whispering Pines — will be decommissioned. “We’ll be able to provide fire flow to all those locations,” Winstanley said. “There are huge advantages to us as far as this land.” The city will spend some money to determine if the site is suitable for the storage tank, Winstanley said, opening a bid process for the clearing work.
