Marx Cannon Beach Gazette GEORGE VETTER/FOR EO MEDIA GROUP Seaside High School senior Silvia Avila plays a victim during a countywide training exercise for the Commu- nity Emergency Response team program. Seaside students set sights on establishing CERT club By Katherine Lacaze EO Media Group Seniors Caitlynn Howe and Silvia Avila are spear- heading an effort to es- tablish a teen Communi- ty Emergency Response Team club at Seaside High School and make the out- reach program more prev- alent in the Seaside com- munity. With the help of Bijan Fayyaz, Clatsop County’s emergency services coor- dinator, Howe and Avila believe a CERT club could help incorporate more au- thentic training into tsuna- mi drills, equip the school with the adequate quality and quantity of emergency equipment and work with other teen CERT groups in the area. “We feel that making a club would create a foot- print to make CERT a per- manent part of the school and eventually have it be- come as big of an extracur- ricular as any other club,” Fayyaz said. He is working with school administrators — at Seaside High School, as well as Astoria and War- renton high schools — to figure out how to make emergency preparedness more present on each cam- pus. He envisions each school will have their own club or team, and they all will function collabora- tively under a countywide teen CERT umbrella. Since starting discussions, Howe and Avila have shown en- thusiasm and the desire to help make that happen. A string of heavy storms and winds pounded the North Coast this week, leading to high waves in Cannon Beach. One of those breached a con- crete barrier and slammed through the ground floor of the Surfsand Resort Fri- day, Dec. 11, at about 12:30 p.m., Ryan Snyder, Presi- dent of Martin Hospitality, said Sunday. Eleven rooms were impacted. No one was hurt. The wave was the “per- fect culmination” of ele- ments, Snyder said, with high tide, still wind and dunes outside the Surfsand at 148 W. Gower. “It’s happened before in the past,” he said. “We’ve had water hit the sea wall. There was no wind at the time of the breach, and so there was no wave being knocked down by wind. It was the perfect culmi- nation. We just got ham- mered.” Guests and staff were never in danger, Snyder said. Staff was able to reas- sign guests to other accom- R.J.

Water main break interrupts service Dan Grassick said the break occurred at 5:30 a.m. and “was on a large diameter transmission main just across the bridge on the north side of town.” “Staff were notified via alarms at a pump station and the reservoir level sensor,” he added. “Didn’t take long to find it given the volume of water.” Public Work crews had the break isolated in about 20 minutes and completed re- pairs around noon, restoring By Dani Palmer Cannon Beach Gazette A water main break on the north side of Cannon Beach knocked out water service to about 80 residents early Dec. 7. Resident Bob Lundy said he woke up sometime before 6 a.m. and tried running the water. Realizing nothing was coming out of the facet, he notified police due to the early hour.

The old mainline was built prior to the construction of Breaker’s Point “and is known to be extremely brittle materi- al (PVC),” Grassick said. “It has had several spon- taneous breaks of no known origin during its operational history,” he added, “and this event was similar to previous breaks.” He noted that a cracked segment about 10 feet long was replaced with higher quality PVC pipe.
