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

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-

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.

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.”

SEASIDE — City council-
ors and school district officials
may say “let’s make a deal”
to build a nearly $6 million,
2-million-gallon water storage
tank for the new campus and
neighboring communities.
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.

“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. An initial estimate from
