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

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.

on the breaststroke leg of the
200 IM to get a narrow win in
that race,” Spell said. “Sean
Olea did a great job on his turns
in the 100 breaststroke to have
a strong swim, close to his PR
and secured more points for the
team. (Senior) Henry Garvin
doubled in the 50 and 100 as
well as anchoring the 200 free
relay.”
Astoria returned to the pool
Tuesday for a dual meet against
Valley Catholic and swept the
Valiants.
The Fish honored seniors
Daniel Emerson, Peeler, Rouda
and Smith.
Smith won the 200 IM and
the butterfly, while Peeler was
first in the 100 freestyle and the
breaststroke.
Daniels added victories in the
50 freestyle and backstroke and
sophomore Brooke O’Connor
won the 500 freestyle.
Winners for the Astoria boys
included sophomores Christian
Womack (breaststroke), Cody
Crisp (backstroke) and Trevor
Newman (200 freestyle).
Astoria is scheduled to host
two additional meets (June 8 vs.
Tillamook, June 17 vs. Valley
Catholic).

Following a pair of 3-point
baskets, the Valley Catholic
Valiants held a 10-6, first quar-
ter lead over the Astoria Lady
Fishermen on Tuesday night at
the Brick House.
A quarter-and-a-half later,
the Valiants still had 10 points.
Astoria’s 13-0 run was all the
Lady Fish needed on their way
to another dominant win, 35-30,
as they look to regain control of
the Cowapa League standings.
Two 3-pointers from the Val-
iants in the final 25 seconds
made the game look closer than
it was, but Astoria controlled
both ends of the floor on their
way to their third straight win.
The Fishermen can move
into first place in the standings
