‘We are thrilled to have
that behind us’
By R.J. Marx
Seaside Signal
Despite cloudy skies and periodic rain,
hundreds turned out to celebrate a public
groundbreaking for the new middle and
high school campus in the Southeast Hills.
Perhaps even better news came for the
district with a permit OK from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
The official announcement of final ap-
proval was posted by the Army Corps on
Monday, Sept. 24.
School district project manager Jim
Henry made the announcement at the Tues-
day, Sept. 18, meeting of the school dis-
trict’s board.
District Superintendent Sheila Roley
thanked the public officials and contractors
who “helped solve problems in a thoughtful
and creative way in adjusting to the permit
schedule.”

S
easide High School’s culinary arts pro-
gram is growing this year under the lead-
ership of new full-time teacher Chelsea
Archibald whose hiring was officially
approved by the Seaside School District Board
of Directors during its meeting Sept. 18.
Archibald will be teaching four courses
each trimester to offer students more oppor-
tunities to study culinary arts. During the fall
semester, her classes include Cooking For Real
Life, Culinary Arts and Pro Culinary Arts, as
well as a class for the ProStart Program to pre-
pare students for cooking competitively in the
spring.
Archibald began taking culinary arts class-
es and was part of a ProStart Program in her
own high school. She was further educated
at Le Cordon Bleu and worked at Hotel Mo-
naco in Portland. For the past four years, she
has been the pastry chef at the Stephanie Inn
in Cannon Beach — a job that’s allowed her
to make some of her favorite dishes, like ice
cream and sorbet.

Seaside

Candidates running for state House Dis-
trict 32 and Seaside and Gearhart offices
made their cases to voters on Sept. 19 in an
election forum at Seaside City Hall.
Affordable housing, homelessness, en-
vironmental protection and emergency pre-
paredness all surfaced as priorities for the 10
candidates.
In Seaside, most of the attention was fo-
cused on the contested mayoral race between
Mayor Jay Barber and John Chapman, the
owner of KSWB Radio Clatsop. Tita Monte-
ro, Dana Phillips and Steve Wright, all incum-
bents running unopposed, were also present.
Appointed in January 2017, Barber said
his decision to run was driven by his love
of the city. He believes his leadership skills
paired with his civil relationship with council
would help drive future progress for the city.
“We face difficult issues, but it takes
leadership to get them done,” Barber said.
Chapman believes his experience work-
ing and volunteering with people from all
walks of life around the community would
be an asset to the council. He emphasized his
commitment to transparency and account-
ability if elected. His decision to run for
mayor is driven by a desire to give back to a
community that welcomed him 27 years ago.

THE SALT MAKERS
return to Seaside
‘A convenient place for making salt’
By Eve Marx
Seaside Signal
Historians and historical interpreters are back in Seaside
to celebrate one of Seaside’s most historic moments. 
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, the Lewis and Clark
Salt Makers will return to Seaside to spend a day making salt
on the beach just off Avenue U and the Prom.
This day-long re-enactment of five members of Lewis and
Clark’s expedition party making their own salt after their last
supply of salt from St. Louis ran out kicks off a six-day nation-
al conference of the 50th annual meeting of the Lewis and
Clark Trail Heritage Foundation.
