Should Astoria open a homeless drop-in center?
“I would say ‘yes.’
So they don’t have
to sit out in the cold
and beg. People
don’t carry money any
more, anyway.”
Janie Walkup, Astoria
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“I think it would be
very useful. There’s
obviously a need for
it. My only concern is:
Who pays for it?”
Rob Johnstone, Astoria
“I would say that
would be a good start
for the homeless and
street people, as long
as it’s supervised to pre-
vent vandalism.”
Jerry Moore, Astoria

school closures, crashes razor clamming on Friday

The Daily Astorian
Snowy
weather
prompted Astoria and
Knappa schools to can-
cel classes and after-school
activities today and led to
several accidents on icy
roadways.
Warrenton and Seaside
schools were starting two
hours late.
Clatsop
Community
College was starting three
hours late.
School was canceled in
Jewell today and Thursday
because of a high incidence
of illness among faculty
and staff.
The Northwest Regional
Education Service District
was also closed.
In Astoria, Lil’ Sprouts
child care was closed.
Astoria police reported
that 16th Street was closed
at Jerome Street because
of icy conditions. Eighth
Street from Franklin Ave-
nue to Grand Street and
17th Street from Irving
Avenue to Grand Street was
also closed.
Three accidents so far
have been reported in Clat-
sop County due to icy and
One of Oregon’s most
popular beaches for razor
clamming will open on Fri-
day after an unusually long
closure to protect under-
sized clams.
Fishery managers made
the decision to close Clatsop
Beach, a productive clam-
ming area often accessed
through Fort Stevens State
Park in Warrenton, for a
prolonged period in Octo-
ber after a stock assessment
revealed a high number of
small clams on the beaches.

snowy conditions.
An accident involving
fi ve vehicles on the New
Youngs Bay Bridge caused
delays at around 8:30 a.m.
today. Another single-car
crash was reported around
4:20 a.m. on the Old
Youngs Bay Bridge.
No
injuries
were
reported for either accident,
said Eric Halverson, the
deputy chief of the Astoria
Police Department.
Halverson urged drivers
to slow down and be aware
of slippery conditions.
“The road may look like
its bare and wet, but there
is the possibility of ice, as
well,” he said.
A semitruck traveling
northbound on U.S. High-
way 101 jackknifed about
7 miles south of Cannon
Beach at around 7:45 a.m.,
Cannon Beach Fire Chief
Matt Benedict said. Two
other cars also slid off the
road to avoid colliding with
the truck.
No
injuries
were
reported. The semi was still
partially blocking the high-
way this morning, causing
minor delays.

sop Beach we observed this
fall have grown at a rate we
anticipated,” Matt Hunter,
state shellfi sh biologist, said
in a statement.
The dominant size of the
clams is still on the smaller
end, between 3.5 and 3.75
inches.
“As the spring progresses
and we get longer days,
more food will be available
and the clams will continue
to grow,” Hunter said.
Recent testing by the
Oregon Department of Agri-
culture shows the clams are
safe to eat.

They wanted to give the
clams more time to grow
rather than risk small clams
being wasted if people dis-

for larger options.

closed to clamming from
