Iron Chef Goes Coastal raises $60K
EO Media Group
The 10th annual Iron Chef
Goes Coastal, a fundraiser
for the United Way of Clat-
sop County held Nov. 7 at the
Seaside Convention Center,
raised a record $60,000.
The event sold out and
attracted 650 attendees, orga-
nizers said.
John Sowa, from Sweet
Basils, and Jeff Martin, from
Silver Salmon Grille, pre-
vailed over Jonathan Hoff-
man, of Chef’s Table and
Dough Dough Bakery, and
Josh Bokish, from Osprey
Café.
The money will be invest-
ed into 14 partner agencies
“who fight for the health and
safety of every person in Clat-
sop County,” Jennifer Holen,
executive director of United
Way of Clatsop County, said
in a release.
The chefs and restau-
rants that participated in the
people’s choice savory and
dessert made for a tough
competition, Holen noted,
but only two will advance to
next year’s stage to compete
against and alongside this
year’s winners.
The top two votes went
to Maggie’s on the Prom
and Fort George Brewery.
Sea Star Gelato, in Seaside,
won Best Desserts in Clatsop
County.

Trial set for man tied to alcohol in teen’s death
Teen died after
running onto
Highway 101
By Jack Heffernan
EO Media Group
A trial date has been set for
a Warrenton man who alleged-
ly provided alcohol to a teen
who died in January after run-
ning onto U.S. Highway 101.
Richard Edward Reinsch,
48, allegedly gave alcohol to
Trevor Secord, 15, the night
he was struck and killed by a
pickup truck
just north of
Gearhart.
Reinsch
was charged
in
August
with
two
Richard
counts of fur-
nishing alco-
Edward
hol to a per-
Reinsch
son under 21,
with one of the counts stem-
ming from a separate case. He
pleaded not guilty at the time.
At a hearing Thursday, Nov. 9,
a trial date was set for May.
Reinsch has been convict-
ed twice for burglary and once
for driving under the influence
of intoxicants.
In late January, after a night
of drinking, Secord got out of
a vehicle parked on the shoul-
der and started running in the
middle of the highway near
milepost 17, Oregon State Po-
lice said. He was pronounced
dead soon after emergency
personnel responded to the
crash.
Secord’s family demand-
ed an investigation into who
provided alcohol to the former
Warrenton High School foot-
ball player.
Brenda McKune, Secord’s
grandmother, said he and oth-
er Warrenton teens have regu-
larly hung out with adults who
buy alcohol for them. She said
she reported issues to police
about 10 times in the last two
to three years but came away
from the discussions feeling
disappointed.
“Too many people are
afraid to stand up and protect
our children,” McKune said.
“This whole thing is sickening
to me.”
Despite her complaints,
she said Warrenton police re-
peatedly told her their investi-
gations would be much easier
if the teenagers reported the
alleged crimes themselves.
Police must have probable
cause and a search warrant be-
fore entering a home to check
for underage drinking unless
given permission by the occu-
pant.
“Catching it happening
in the process is very diffi-
cult,” Warrenton Police Chief
Mathew Workman said.
McKune last saw her
grandson at a grocery store
just hours before he died. He
was purchasing orange juice,
which she now believes he
was attempting to mix with
Everclear — a highly potent
brand of grain alcohol.
Once again, McKune re-
ported her concerns to police.
Secord died, as his grand-
mother recalls, 3 hours and
12 minutes after she made the
complaint.
Months later, McKune is
still concerned about a culture
in which adults supply alcohol
to Warrenton teenagers.
