Fires spark concern for dryer safety

When the
ocean ‘burped’
Seaside Signal
There was an ocean burp, or upwelling,
near Ave. U on Tuesday, Tiffany Boothe of
the Seaside Aquarium reported.
“Coming across one of these is a beach-
comber’s dream,” according to Boothe.
Results of the upwelling are described
as small debris fields usually composed of
small bark chips, shells, large tubeworm
casings, hermit crabs, algae, kelp and some-
times even skate egg casings, and usually
occur because of a local upwelling. “At the
Seaside Aquarium, we fondly refer to these
events as ‘ocean burps.’”
An upwelling is an oceanographic phe-
nomenon that involves wind-driven motion
of denser, cooler and usually nutrient-rich
water towards the ocean surface, replacing
the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted sur-
face water, Boothe said.
This juggling of water from the bottom
of the ocean to the surface often lifts debris
sitting on the sea floor into the water col-
umn. As the tide comes in, the debris is cast
onto shore.
Seaside police to

ents donkey basketball on Saturday, May
5, at the Astoria Armory. Members of the
Seaside Police Department will participate

A fire at The Laundry Mat in late March led
to the evacuation of neighboring buildings on
South Roosevelt Drive, including Coast Hard-
ware and Kiosco Mexicano. Those businesses
are closed for cleaning. The cause of that fire
remains under investigation.
On Thursday, a fire at Sunset Fitness on
North Holladay Drive was also sparked by fire.
Fire Marshal Chris Dugan of the Seaside Fire
Department said. The owner went to check if
towels were dry and saw a small fire in the dry-
er. The fire department opened up the walls and
extinguished the small blaze. The washer and

Calico cat missing in Seaside for more than 30 days
Emergency
responder seeks
public’s help
By Eve Marx
For Seaside Signal
Remy, a stunning female calico
cat, has been missing in Seaside
for 30 days.
“She escaped two days before
my deployment to Puerto Rico for
Hurricane Maria response,” said
Remy’s owner, Katherine Rea, a
Seaside resident. Rea works for
the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency and considers Remy
her “emotional support” animal.
“She’s become a bit of a mascot for
our agency on multiple disasters.”
Rea said she has done every-
thing she can think of to get Remy

messages, posters, flyers, volun-
teer searches, even a canine team
to track her scent.
So far, nothing has worked.
“The dogs tracked her as far as
the Seaside Beach Club condos,
and lost the scent there,” Rea said.
“She may have been spotted by
someone on April 11 in the area of
Avenue G and South Columbia.”
Rea got permission to fly home
from Puerto Rico for three days to
follow up on the lead, but was un-
able to locate the cat before flying
back to her duty station on April
18.
“I adopted her three years
ago,” Rea said. Remy was adopt-
ed through the rescue Homeward
Bound Pets. “She could be ag-
gressive; she was a biter when we
met.”
After working with a trainer for
six months, the aggression abated.
Remy is also taking anti-anxiety
medication, which she has not had
since she’s been on the lam.
“Remy is stunning,” Rea said,
describing the feline’s looks. “She
is a long-hair calico. She has a
white belly and a black face with
