A5 THE ASTORIAN • THuRSdAy, JuNE 3, 2021 SPORTS OBITUARIES Astoria, Seaside swimmers meet in Clatsop Splash Cynthia (Cindi) Jean Quashnick Newell The Astorian The Fish and the Gulls were in the pool at the same time last week, competing in a dual meet at the Astoria Aquatic Center, where Alyson O’Connor was making her home debut as the new Astoria coach. Team-wise, the Clatsop Splash was a split, as the Asto- ria girls defeated Seaside 91-33, while the Seaside boys topped Astoria 119-45. The Gulls won the combined team score, 152-136. “My first home swim meet and it went smooth as can be,” O’Connor said. “My swimmers did good and had great attitude and sportsmanship.” The Astoria girls opened the meet with some familiar names (seniors Tori Smith, Grace Peeler and Constance Rouda, along with freshman Hannah Daniels) leading the way to a win in the 200-yard medley relay. There were more victories for Smith in the 200-yard medley (2:44.05) and 100-yard back- stroke (1:13.21) and Peeler in the 100-yard freestyle (1:04.79) and 100-yard breaststroke (1:19.68). The Lady Gulls, mean- while, are “getting close to hav- ing our full squad ready to go,” said Seaside coach Shane Spell. “Morgan Houston and Gabriela Tapia made their competitive high school debuts, and it was great to see them race. Nicole Blankenhorn had a nice 50 and showed great promise in her fly leg in the 200 medley.” On the boys side, Seaside’s Sam Heroux “had a nice rally Warrenton June 12, 1960 — June 16, 2020 Cynthia (Cindi) Jean Quashnick New- ell was born in Astoria on June 12, 1960, to Richard (Dick) and Martha (Jean) Quashnick. She died peacefully in Portland on June 16, 2020, with her family by her side. She was preceded in death by her mother, Jean Quash- nick; her husband, Richard (Rick) New- ell; her son, Andrew (Andy) Newell; as well as her sis- ter-in-law, Donna Quashnick. She is survived by her father, Richard Quashnick; broth- ers, Richard (Rick) Cynthia Newell Quashnick, Doug Quashnick and David Quashnick (Kari); sister, Suzi Heater (Doug); numerous nieces and nephews; and living partner, Ricky Sutton. Cindi was born into the fishing fam- ily, pioneered by her father, Dick. All the children were immersed in the business at very early ages, up and down the Colum- bia River and into Alaskan fisheries. She worked in the family fish mar- ket, and then into the family fish buy- ing business, where they bought local salmon for processors. That is where she met and married Rick Newell, who cap- tained numerous vessels over his career in Astoria. When Andy was born, he was Cindi and Rick’s joy. He would be with them on all their boats whether shrimping, drag- ging or salmon gillnetting. Relay for Life was an event Cindi and Andy annually shared in with fam- ily and friends. Cindi and her family were active in the Deep Sea Fishermen’s Benefit Fund, helping to give back to an industry that gave them so much of their livelihoods. Cindi was a very creative person — a trip to the beach, another road trip camp- ing or hiking, and the creations came to life in her garden or home, and were adored by her family and friends. On June 12 at 2 p.m., family and friends are welcome to come to a memo- rial of Cindi’s life down at Warrenton’s Sunset Beach. At the approach, take a right, to the first pole. Please bring a chair.
