Semi seafood slip-up
Warrenton Police Department
The main route from Hammond to Warrenton was par-
tially closed Monday morning when a semitrailer had a
structural failure and dumped its load onto the highway,
according to Warrenton Police Chief Matt Workman.
Warrenton Police, Oregon Department of Transporta-
tion and Oregon State Police assisted in traffic control
on Pacific Drive at Fleet Street in Hammond. The truck
was hauling 50,000 pounds of fish byproducts from
Point Adams Packing. A crane was used to lift the load
back onto its wheels.
College tuition to increase
Clatsop Community Col-
lege’s Board of Education ap-
proved a tuition increase at
its Tuesday night meeting.
The $7 per credit increase
will begin winter term 2023
and is a way to combat the
financial challenges facing
colleges across the state and
country.
CCC last raised tuition in
2019, when it went up by $3
per credit.
Over the past few years,
the college chose to reduce
department budgets rather
than increase tuition. How-
ever, an increase was neces-
sary in order to keep up with
the rate of inflation and to
maintain offerings and ser-
vices, the board agreed.

Astoria waterfront brewery collapses
A portion of the Buoy Beer
Co.’s building on the Co-
lumbia River waterfront col-
lapsed Tuesday evening.
The restaurant and brew-
ery are closed Tuesdays and
Wednesdays, so no one was
in the facility at the time of
the collapse, which occurred
about 6 p.m., according to the
U.S. Coast Guard.
The company posted on
Facebook and Instagram
that everyone was safe and
it thanked people and other
breweries for reaching out.
The Astoria Riverwalk will
be closed between Seventh
and Eighth streets until the
site is inspected to ensure the
area is safe for pedestrians,
Astoria Parks and Recreation
Department reported.
A cause had not been deter-
mined Wednesday.

CCC to offer business studies program
A new educational study
program in business was ap-
proved recently by the Clatsop
Community College Board of
Education.
The Associate of Science
Transfer in Business is now
available for students who
study business at CCC and al-
lows for easier transferability
from the community college to
a four-year college to pursue a
bachelor’s degree.
The college currently offers
an associate’s degree in busi-
ness that doesn’t provide such
a clear path in mathematics
courses for ease of transfer.
With the new transfer degree,
math statistics courses will
be offered to complement the
business content.
“I am excited to offer this
new associate of science trans-
fer degree in business, which
gives students the opportu-
nity to study a wider range of
business classes locally before
transferring on to a four-year
business degree program,”
business instructor Carla
Moha said.
Moha attended statewide
meetings during the past year
addressing transferability be-
tween community colleges and
universities. Four-year univer-
sity business department rep-
resentatives were active partic-
ipants in the planning of CCC’s
new program.
