February 16, 2018 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com • 3A Lawyer, musician runs for state House Orr ran practice for 25 years By Edward Stratton The Daily Astorian Local attorney John Orr has filed for the Democratic primary to replace state Rep. Deborah Boone. Boone, D-Cannon Beach, announced last month she would not run for an eighth two-year term in state House District 32. Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi and local educator and author Me- lissa Ousley have also filed for the primary. Brian Halvorsen, an Independent from Rocka- way Beach, has also filed. Orr ran a family law and criminal defense practice in Astoria for about 25 years, also serving at times as a Municipal Court judge, be- fore leaving to pursue art and recy- cling. He is project de- velopment manager for John Orr Trails End Recovery in Warrenton, provides the com- pany legal counsel and plays in several local bands. This is Orr’s first attempt at elected office. He has served in appointed positions on a public safety coordinat- ing council, a committee to site the North Coast Youth Correctional Facility in War- renton, an affordable housing board in Cannon Beach and with the Surf Pines Home- owners Association. He was president of the North Coast Land Conservancy from 1996 to 2002. OBITUARIES Ernestine Elizabeth Neitzel Seaside May 30, 1921 — Jan. 15, 2018 Longtime Hamlet Route resident Er- nestine Elizabeth Neitzel died Monday, Jan. 15, 2018, in her home. In 1921, she was born in Telluride, Colorado, to Emma and Hilding Nord- mark. The family moved to the Necani- cum Valley when Ernestine was 2, where they sold vegetables from their farm. Erna graduated from Seaside High School in 1938, and worked in a local grocery store and bakery. Later, she was employed as a teacher’s aide at Gearhart and Cannon Beach elementary schools for many years. In 1945, she married Herbert Neitzel, who died in 1984. Ernestine’s siblings, Carl Nordmark, Irene Hartill and Perry Nordmark, also preceded her in death. “I think my skill set is uniquely suited to the de- mands of working in the state Legislature,” Orr said, describing himself as a fis- cal conservative and social progressive. “It looks like the Legislature needs help to address its funding issues and the problems the state is facing, both in terms of edu- cation, housing, sustainable wages and family wage jobs.” Orr would also like to see Oregon better utilize its natu- ral resources, particularly bio- mass energy. He has lived in Clatsop County about 28 years and Oregon for 32 years. He is from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and originally moved to Port- land to attend law school at Lewis & Clark College. Candidates have until March 6 to file for the May primary. She is survived by her children, Linn Cooper of Eugene, Les Neitzel of Seaside and Lynnelle Neitzel of Portland; as well as four beloved grandchildren; dear in- laws; and nieces, nephews and friends. Her interests included gardening, go- ing to the beach, being out in nature, playing Scrabble and doing crossword puzzles. Ernestine was known as a kind, compassionate, humorous person, who showed great resilience when faced with life’s challenges. A memorial service will follow in the spring. In lieu of flowers, please consider a do- nation to Lower Columbia Hospice. Arrangements are under the direction of Caldwell’s Luce-Layton Mortuary. DEATHS Feb. 13, 2018 MEYERS, Bonnie C., 79, of Seaside, died in Seaside. Ocean View Funeral & Cre- mation Service of Astoria is in charge of the arrangements. Jewell farmer files for county commission seat Terrorist survivor Gladwin running for Thompson’s position By Jack Heffernan The Daily Astorian Jewell farmer Susana Gladwin has filed for a Clat- sop County Board of Com- missioners seat held by Li- anne Thompson. Gladwin, 71, has served on the county Planning Commis- sion along with Thompson, who has expressed her desire to seek re-election. Thompson represents District 5, which covers most of South County — including Cannon Beach, Arch Cape, Elsie, Jewell and parts of Sea- side. “I think I have a lot of knowledge of that area — Seaside, Arch Cape, Susana C a n n o n Gladwin Beach — to be a good commissioner,” Gladwin said. “I study things carefully. I like being a team player. I have a lot of background in a lot of things, and I want to give vot- ers a choice.” Gladwin, who has lived in Jewell since 1971 and owns 9 acres of forestland, would like to focus on forestry issues should she be elected, she said. She also would priori- tize the housing strife, which she attributed to soaring rent prices in a booming econo- my. “Always the people on the edge have no hope and are getting depressed and taking drugs,” Gladwin said. Issues that affect the Jew- ell area have not been proper- ly discussed at the county lev- el, Gladwin said. She added, though, that Thompson’s term hasn’t necessarily been a det- riment to the community. “I want to run so that the Jewell area again is represent- ed,” she said. For example, Gladwin was “shocked” that she was the only person to offer public comment at a hearing before commissioners passed a vaca- tion rental ordinance in Janu- ary. If elected, she would use her connections in the Jewell community to inform people that a vote — and the last op- portunity for public comment — was coming, she said. The five-commissioner board will have three seats up for election in May. Medical data analyst An- drew Davis announced he will run for the seat occupied by board chairman Scott Lee, who has said he will not seek re-elec- tion. Pamela Wev — an Astoria land use planning consultant — and Peter Roscoe — a former Astoria city councilor and own- er of Fulio’s Pastaria — intend to run for Commissioner Lisa Clement’s position. Clement said she is not sure whether she will run for a second term. ‘Waxing and Waning’ on view at Seaside library Seaside Signal COURTESY SEASIDE PUBLIC LIBRARY Shannon McBride’s “Tidepools” Through Tuesday, Feb. 27, the Seaside Public Library will exhibit original paintings by Shannon Mayo McBride. The show, “Waxing and Waning,” will hang in the Community Room and foyer. Like the waxing and wan- ing of the moon, Shannon Mc- Bride has always felt a push and pull of the coast and city. Though she has never lived at the coast, her family has al- ways had a home there. Childhood memories of the Seaside carousel, haystack bread and her toes in the sand of the Gearhart beaches fill her past. McBride explains that “these memories and traditions have been passed down to my children as they visit my par- ents, who have retired at the coast. The coast will always be home in one form or another.” to speak at library Seaside Signal Author Jeanette Chaffee will speak on Saturday, Feb. 17, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Seaside Library. Chaffee will share how she survived the TWA Flight 840 mid- air explosion of a terrorist bomb less than 14 feet from her. It is the only time pas- sengers have survived after a bomb exploded aboard a commercial plane in the air. In 1986, Chaffee was on the last leg of her 15 hour flight from Salem to Athens, Greece, when 40 minutes before landing a bomb hid- den underneath seat 10-F was detonated on the aircraft over Argos, Greece. The ex- plosion blew a 9-foot-by-3- foot hole in the side of the aircraft, ejecting five pas- sengers to their death. At the library event, a Q&A will be included and she will sign copies of her book, “Extravagant Grac- es: 23 Inspiring Stories of Facing Impossible Odds,” which highlights Chaffee’s personal interviews of some of the most inspiring and in- fluential people of our times. Books will be available for purchase and signing; Sea- side Library, 1131 Broad- way.
