School: Sapp brought tradition of wax museum with her
Continued from Page A1
After the museum, the
kids rushed like an invad-
ing horde out the front doors
of the middle school for a
group photo. Among those
in the audience was Cindy
Sapp, a former sixth-grade
teacher who brought the tra-
dition of the wax museum
with her more than a decade
ago from Toledo Elementary
School in Lincoln County.
“I was a brand new sixth-
grade teacher, and there
wasn’t a lot of curriculum,”
said Sapp, who works in
special education . “And so
I found this program that
taught about Egypt, and the
culminating project for that
was a wax museum.
“What I love about this
project is that every single
kid, regardless of their abil-
ity, can do it and be super
successful.”
‘EVERY SINGLE
KID, REGARDLESS
OF THEIR ABILITY,
CAN DO IT AND
BE SUPER
SUCCESSFUL.’

Around 170 sixth-graders at Astoria Middle School dressed up as people and inventions from ancient civilizations Friday, creating a living wax museum.

Jacob Van Buskirk, who
worked on Mitchell’s cam-
paign, decried the back-
room dealing to protect
the Student Success Act.
Voters are happy to help
remove legislators who
don’t have their best inter-
ests in mind, if only they
knew who those people
were, he said.
“I want to know who are
the D emocrats who are my
friends, and I don’t know,”
he said.
Others at the town hall
thanked Mitchell for show-
ing courage in a controver-
sial vote that didn’t align
with the priorities of many
of her strongest supporters .
Rick Newton, a Warren-
ton city commissioner, and
Tom Brownson, an Astoria
city councilor, expressed
concerns about how city
budgets could face cuts
to cover rising retirement
costs. The pension debt
isn’t the employees’ fault,
but everyone needs to work
together to fi x the problem,
Newton said.
Chuck Albright, a third-
grade teacher at Gearhart
Elementary School, asked
Mitchell to back an effort
by D emocrats to overturn a

State Rep. Tiffi ny Mitchell, D-Astoria, started her town hall on
Sunday explaining why she voted for state pension reform.
2017 law that starting this
summer and fall would no
longer allow couples who
both work in the public
sector to get double cov-
erage. The law would also
take away an incentive that
provides a monthly check
if an employee opts out
of double coverage. The
changes would cost his
family about $9,000 a year,
Albright said.
Jack Harris, co-owner of
Fort George Brewery, and
Justin Saydell, a habitat
restoration manager for the
Columbia River Estuary
Study Taskforce, thanked
Mitchell for her support of
the Clean Energy Jobs Bill.
The bill, in the state’s
Joint Committee on Ways
and Means, would cap what
businesses are allowed to
emit and require them to
buy offsets for going over
the cap, investing the pro-
ceeds in efforts to curb cli-
mate change. Fort George
is part of a coalition of
medium and large busi-
nesses that signed on in
support of the legislation.

sat down sharply, apparently
happy to remain at his post
amidships.
Worried chatter reverber-
ated all around the enclosed
dock area.
“It’s making my shoes
wet!”
“You’re getting water in
the boat!”
Not everyone enjoyed
success. Shasta Stolle and
Aaron Farrarr appeared stoic
as they hauled their water-
fi lled boat back onto dry land
and its fi nal resting place.
All this fun was observed
by two members of the South
Pacifi c County Technical
Rescue Team, who were
close on hand in ocean kay-
aks ready to assist anyone
whose experiment ended in
extreme dampness. Several
school staff and parents, all
in required life vests, were
on the dock ready to assist,
too.
Blasko surveyed the
activity with his characteris-
tic smile of satisfaction.
“This is great!” he said.
“We have got kids fi shing
and we have got all the boats
in the water. The kids have
been working on this for
six weeks, but some were
still painting right up to this
morning.”
