On Wednesday, Aug. 30, at about 1:30 p.m., Oregon State Po- lice and Tillamook County sheriff’s deputies responded to a hit-and-run motor injury vehicle collision on Highway 101 between Wheeler and Rockaway Beach. Preliminary investigation in- dicates a green southbound 2015, Kenworth semi-truck, pulling two trailers loaded with lumber and driven by Patrick Steinauer, 65, of Cougar, Washington, was coming out of a curve on 101. The suspect vehicle was northbound passing in a no-passing zone in the south- bound lane. In an attempt to avoid the collision, Steinauer, drove off the road, over railroad tracks and into trees. The suspect vehicle con- tinued northbound and did not stop. The suspect vehicle was de- scribed as a late 1970s, lifted, white or cream-colored, Chevy pickup truck, driven by a young COLIN MURPHEY/EO MEDIA GROUP Work at Ecola State Park takes place Sept. 11-12.

Oregon Department of Transportation District crews plan to install a culvert near the Cannon Beach city limits on Sept. 12, which will temporarily close Ecola Park Road in both directions for several hours on Sept. 12. The heavy rains over time has caused a section of the asphalt to slump and separate, park manager Ben Cox said, which could cause damage to a vehicle driving over it. Local and park traffic will be restricted, but Oregon Department of Transportion will accommodate emergency vehicle ac- cess, Cox said. “The work is necessary to improve drainage and repair a failing section of the roadway,” said ODOT District 1 Manager Mark Buffington. “We will need to close the road completely for about four hours; hopefully less.” Ecola State Park will tenatively reopen upon completion of the repair work. Military veterans often successful in job market By Jack Heffernan EO Media Group Clatsop County’s low unem- ployment rate may be making life easier for job-hungry military vet- erans, who account for a relatively large percentage of the local pop- ulation. The county is home to 3,800 veterans, or about 10 percent of the population. Roughly 7 percent of all U.S. citizens, by compari- son, are veterans. From 2011 to 2015, the unem- ployment rate among veterans in the Clatsop County was 6.4 per- cent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Overall unemployment in COLIN MURPHEY/EO MEDIA GROUP A career fair held specifically for veterans was held at Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Showroom. the county was 7.1 percent. While up-to-date data about veteran job- lessness is incomplete, the entire county recorded a much lower unemployment rate — 3.6 percent — this June, according to the Or- egon Employment Department. If a similar trend held for veterans, it would mean a little more than 100 total veterans are seeking work. Economists define an unem- ployed person as someone actively looking for work but who is unable to find it. Underemployment, how- ever, is not as easy to quantify, said Patrick Preston, a disabled veter- ans employment representative for the Employment Department who served in the U.S. Army. Unemployment statistics do not address the number of veterans who may not be seeking work or those who are employed solely on a seasonal basis. Therefore, even homeless veterans in some cases do not meet the criteria for unem- ployment. “It’s a reflection of the general population,” Preston said. “Those who want to work are working.” Career fair The effects of low unemploy- ment among veterans were on dis- play Tuesday in Astoria.

The as- sociation, comprised of human re- sources professionals, decided to organize something it had plenty of experience with: a career fair. In August, 16 local business- es and labor groups — including Fred Meyer, Lektro, Providence Seaside Hospital, Tongue Point Job Corps Center, WorkSource Oregon and Wauna Federal Cred- it Union — gathered in the Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Show- room to connect with veterans looking for jobs. The problem: only a handful of veterans attend- ed. “It was really shocking, actual- ly,” said Stacey Brown, the com- munications director for the asso- ciation.
