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

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.
