Last Saturday’s open
house for the Seaside Fire
Department coincided with
that date 20 years ago.
Lt. Matt Keefer said he
was only 9 at the time, but
he remembers being on
the couch before school. “I
wasn’t really able to grasp it,
but did help spark the inter-
est in the fi re service,” Keefer
said.
Fire Chief Joey Daniels
said 9/11 is an important day
for the Seaside Fire Depart-
ment. “We support every-
body in the fi re service and

fi ce in their job of saving the
public.”
Fire volunteers and staff
wore special T-shirts honor-
ing the anniversary.
This is the fi rst department
open house since the pan-
demic began, Keefer said.
“Due to COVID restric-
tions, when we got our new
ladder truck, we weren’t able
to show it off to the public
and let everyone see it,” he
said. “This is the fi rst time
it’s been out in the public as
a public event. We wanted to
give everyone hamburgers
and hot dogs and to come see
all of our equipment.”
“We appreciate everybody
coming out,” Daniels said.
“We wanted to say thanks to
the community, for always
supporting us, even through
these are tough times for all
of us.”

ily with her fi rst husband,
Gary Hill. She later mar-
ried Bill Carpenter, her hus-
band of 29 years. They lived
in Marysville, Washington,
for 10 years until Bill retired
and then moved to Seaside,
fulfi lling her lifelong dream
of “living by my ocean.” For
the last 15 years Janice and
Bill have been an active part
of their Seaside community.
Many also have seen, or met,
Janice during her daily 6 to
8 mile walks. She was proud
to have recently hiked to the
top of Saddle Mountain.
Janice is survived by her
husband, Bill; son, Troy
Hill, and his husband, Paul
Verano; son, Doug Hill, and
his wife, Julie; six grandchil-
dren and three great-grand-
children. She is preceded in
death by her daughter, Kim-
berley Armstrong. Janice
became an important part
of Bill’s family: Roxane and
Mike Sullivan, Colleen and
Lynn Shindledecker, Bob-
bie and Dave Lange, and she
became Grandma Janice to
Joseph Low and Grace Low.
Her fi nal resting place
will be at Willamette
National Cemetery, not far
from her mother and father.
A memorial gathering in
Seaside has not yet been
scheduled.
Those wishing to make a
donation in her name can do
so to Lower Columbia Hos-
pice, who provided support
and comfort for her last stay
in Seaside.

Paul Denning Stull Jr.
Dr. Paul Denning Stull
Jr. died on Aug. 30, 2021,
at home in Beaverton at the
age of 81.
Paul is survived by his
wife, Alice Stull; children,
Ann Marie Clark, Mon-
ica Christler, Paul Stull III,
Matthew Stull and Christo-
pher Stull; seven grandchil-
dren; and his siblings, Philip
Stull, Karen Howell, Patrick
Stull and John Stull.
Paul was born in Colum-
bus, Ohio, to Paul and Edith
Stull. He spent his child-
hood in Ohio, moving to
Arizona and then California
in his teens. After attend-
ing several high schools, he
spent his junior and senior
year at St. Augustine’s in
San Diego. From there he
went on to study chemis-
try, zoology and psychology
at San Diego State Univer-
sity, obtaining a bachelor’s
degree in 1963. Immedi-
ately thereafter he moved
to Washington, D.C., to
study medicine at George-
town University. During the
summer of 1964 he briefl y
returned to San Diego to
marry his college sweet-
heart, Alice McKee. Their
subsequent
honeymoon
was an eventful trip across
America, driving an ancient
Volkswagen Beetle from
California to Washington,
D.C.
Following his gradua-
tion from medical school,
Paul accepted an internship
in surgery, a residency in
urology and fellowships in
nephrology and transplan-
tation surgery at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky. While
in Kentucky, Paul spent his
summers working sunup to
sundown as the only doc-
tor in an underprivileged,
rural county in Appalachia.
Throughout the 1960s and
early 70s Paul also served as
an offi cer in the U.S. Navy
Reserve. Upon the comple-
tion of his medical training
in 1972 and an honorable
discharge from the Navy,
the family moved to Asto-

OBITUARIES
Janice Jeanne Carpenter,
born to June and Hilton Tay-
lor on Nov. 2, 1942, was 2
pounds 5 ounces and was a
fi ghter from the beginning.
She departed this world as
she entered, battling against
the odds in her fi nal weeks,
not wanting to leave the
ones she loved.
She was born when the
world was engulfed in World
War II and passed when the
world was fi ghting the coro-
navirus pandemic. Between
those two confl icts Janice
was the friendliest and most
loving person, truly setting
a positive example for those
that came to know her.
Janice spent her early life
in Portland, raising a fam-

Citation issued in crash
A citation was issued to
a 36-year-old Seaside
woman Aug. 30 at 4:34 p.m.,
after troopers responded
to a two-car crash on U.S.
Highway 101 at milepost
23.5. One driver was headed
northbound and about to
turn into his driveway when
the second driver came
up too close behind and
rear-ended him. The fi rst car
was drivable and the driver
drove it to his residence. The
second vehicle had to be
towed by Triangle Towing.
The rear-ended driver de-
clined medical assistance.
Order of protection
dispute
Troopers received a report
Aug. 30 at 7:19 p.m., of a
potential order of protection
violation happening at Hug
Point. The reporting party
stated she traveled from
Milwaukie July 4 with the re-
stricted person. She said she
camped with him for three
days before returning to his
residence in Milwaukie and
then to her own home. She
said she decided to travel
with him because he owes
her money. When troopers
asked why she was making
a complaint, she said it was
because she said he was “try-
ing to get her in trouble.”
Wheel comes off
A wheel came off a truck
pulling a boat trailer Sept. 1
at 2:24 p.m. on U.S. Highway
26 near milepost 8; the truck
was traveling eastbound.
The wheel struck a van trav-
eling westbound, resulting
in minor injuries to the van
driver. Four children on
board were not injured. Clas-
sic Towing towed the van.
Reckless driving
Matthew Edmund Maizel, 29,
was arrested on U.S. High-
way 26 at milepost 10 Sept.
3 at 12:54 a.m. traveling 79
mph in a marked 55 mph
zone. A check of his Oregon
driver’s license showed
it suspended for reckless
driving. He was cited and
released.
Backing-up collision
A backing-up collision
occurred Sept. 4 at 3:44 p.m.
in the parking area of Hug
Point State Park on U.S. High-
way 101. One party’s left rear
panel was damaged as well
as a tail light. A trooper who
happened to be in the area
conducting a park check
responded to the crash. Both
vehicles were drivable.
