10A • November 20, 2015 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com Seaside superintendent to retire after 35 years Dougherty from Page 1A Three of the district’s existing four schools are lo- cated in the tsunami inunda- tion zone; they have “long surpassed their useful lives and have a high likelihood of catastrophic collapse in an earthquake,” Dougherty said. For 25 years, Dough- erty and other administra- tors have worked toward the goal of relocating those schools. A measure to ob- tain $128.8 million to do so was on the ballot in a No- vember 2013 election, but failed. “It is still my desire to see our students in a safe lo- cation,” Dougherty wrote. “I believe that by retiring at the end of this school year, it would enable me to focus more of my time toward pursuing this effort.” A long career Dougherty began his career with the Seaside School District as a teach- er at Seaside Heights Ele- mentary School in 1982. He also worked as a teacher at Broadway Middle School and the principal of Cannon Beach Elementary School before being hired to re- place former superintendent Harold Riggan in 1998. Phillips, who was on the board when it hired Dough- erty, said he “absolutely” has achieved everything the board hoped for and expected when it made the decision. Phillips described Dougherty as “the epitome of the opposite” of Riggan, a tall, athletic man who commanded respect and attention with his physical presence. “Dougherty has com- manded respect because of the work ethic and the knowledge he has,” Phillips said, adding he provides the board with background in- formation and research to help members make every decision regarding the dis- trict. Dougherty’s retirement is coming “quicker than a lot of us anticipated,” Phil- lips said, but “obviously we support Doug.” “He’s been a personal hero to a lot of us,” Phillips said. In the past, Dougherty has served on the board of directors for the Confedera- tion of Oregon School Ad- Inland areas hit hardest by string of storms Flooding from Page 1A Paci¿c Power Spokes- man Tom Gauntt reported that roughly 365 Seaside residents lost power Mon- day morning around 8:15 a.m. He added that they had not received any reports of power outages in Cannon Beach. Additional pow- er outages were reported throughout the region over- night into Wednesday. High wind watches were issued for northwest Ore- gon and the northern Ore- gon Cascades early in the week. On Tuesday, Cannon Beach reported a gust of 49 mph, Macke said. Oceans- ide received the highest at 73 mph. The National Weath- er Service reported a high risk for trees being toppled because of saturated soils and issued a Àood watch for the North Coast through Wednesday afternoon, in- cluding Cannon Beach and Astoria. Near Circle Creek RV Park, between Cannon Beach and Seaside west of Highway 101, the North Coast Land Conservan- cy’s Circle Creek Habitat Reserve ¿lled with water. The conservancy’s Trust completed a project with the Oregon Department of Transporation and Clatsop County in 2013 to allow the Àoodplain along the Neca- nicum River to Àood again, keeping Highway 101 from Àooding to the point of traf- ¿c closure as it historically had done. The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries advised caution during the storm event and offered up landslide and debris Àow tips at www.or- egongeology.org. “Intense rainfall is a common landslide trigger,” said Bill Burns, an engi- neering geologist at DOG- AMI. The low pressure system moved onto Canada after pounding Washington and Oregon. Macke said this weekend should be dry. Saturday’s storm dumped 1.47 inches of rain on Cannon Beach, Nation- al Weather Service mete- orologist Laurel McCoy said. The area received 1.11 inches of rain on Sunday and 0.46 on Monday. “We’ve been running above average on all three days,” McCoy added. ministrators, the board of directors for the Oregon As- sociation of School Execu- tives, the superintendent ad- vis o er to the Oregon State Board and the advis o er to the Oregon Department of Education State Assessment Committee.

Heavy rainfall eroded the earth under the road near the culvert, prompting park officials to close Indian Beach. On Tuesday, the nearest station in Seaside reported 2 inches of precipitation, meteorological technician Gerald Macke said. The North Coast was hit harder than the central coast, with Newport report- ing 0.63 inches of rain on Tuesday compared to the North’s 2 inches, he added. But about 10 miles in- land was hit the hardest. Macke said Lee’s Camp re- ceived 4 inches on Tuesday alone. “The coast got sheltered a little bit,” he added.
