Seaside man indicted for arson after
allegedly setting garage on fi re
By BRENNA VISSER
The Daily Astorian
A Seaside man who
allegedly set a garage on
fi re while fl eeing from a
car accident earlier this
month is facing a fi rst-de-
gree arson charge.
Moctezuma Garcia, 20,
allegedly drove his vehi-
cle into a fence on Eighth
Avenue in Seaside before
fl eeing on foot.
During his escape, he
allegedly entered some-
one’s garage and started a
fi re. The homeowner and
Garcia appear to have no
relationship, said Scott
McCracken, the senior
deputy district attorney
prosecuting the case.
Garcia was sent to a
Portland-area hospital to
treat serious injuries that
police believe are self-in-
fl icted from the fi re.
Garcia
has
been
indicted on fi rst-degree
arson, second-degree bur-
glary, failure to perform
the duties of a driver and
two counts of second-de-
gree criminal mischief.
Sally was born Aug. 5, 1933, in Portland,
to Stephen and Harriet (Miller) Honan. She
was raised in Seaside, and graduated from
Seaside Union High School. During her
youth she loved horseback riding and car-
ing for her younger siblings.
She married John A Banta on May 1,
1954. They started their marriage in Sea-
side, and then moved to Gearhart to raise
their family.
She worked at the Seaside Library, her
love of books and people making it the per-
fect fi t for her. She retired after 35 years,
but never lost her love of books, and was
an avid reader. She loved the time spent
with her siblings listening to guitar music
and singing. They played many competi-
tive games of pinochle.
Sally and John took their children on
many car and camping trips. Later, Sally
and John traveled the Northwest exten-
sively, as well as several trips to Alaska in
their motor home. Sally loved family gath-
erings and holidays, Christmas being her
favorite. She was most happy when her
whole family was together.
She leaves behind her devoted husband
of 65 years, John; daughters Jane, Susan
and Mary; sons John (Jo) and Lee (Teri);
eight grandchildren; seven great-grand-
children; brother Mike Honan; sister Patri-
cia Ross; and numerous nieces and neph-
ews, as well as her extended Banta Family.
She was preceded in death by her parents,
and sisters Connie and Margaret.
Visitation was held April 17, at Hughes
Ransom Mortuary in Seaside. Private
burial will be held.
