MARX Seaside Signal The Seaside City Coun- cil paid tribute to Ameri- ca’s war veterans last Mon- day night. At the City Council meet- ing, Seaside Fire Chief Joey Daniels read a proclamation in honor of those who have risked their lives to preserve the country’s liberty. “They have shown their heights to which Americans can rise when inspired to do so,” Daniels said. “Our courageous troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe have earned their place alongside previous generations of great Amer- icans. They’ve selfl essly made tour after tour, in con- fl icts spanning a decade.” Long after leaving the uniform behind, many vet- erans continue to serve the country as public servants and mentors, parents and community leaders, the proclamation reads. The proclamation hon- ors Nov. 11 as Veterans Remembrance Day, encour- aging Americans to rec- ognize and remember the valor and sacrifi ce of vet- erans through appropriate public ceremonies and pri- vate prayers. Councilors unanimously approved the proclama- tion. Mayor Jay Barber was absent. On Nov. 11, Seaside Chamber of Commerce ambassadors will display fl ags at local businesses, putting the fl ags up in the morning and taking them down at the end of the day. Businesses seeking fl ags may contact the chamber. American Legion Post 99 will observe the day with an early bird dinner for members. The public is invited and nonmembers are invited at $10 a plate. Din- ner of pork loin, mashed potatoes and vegetables will be served from 4 to 7 p.m. R.J.

Samaritans, Seaside Aquarium lend assist to sea turtle Seaside Signal A 50-pound olive ridley sea turtle was found 1 mile north of the Peter Iredale shipwreck in Hammond by Samuel K. Gardner. The turtle appeared dead at fi rst, Seaside Aquarium staff reported last Thursday, but shortly after fi nding the animal, Gardner realized that it was still alive and contacted the aquarium. Gardner was joined by Alec and Corinne Reeves, who just happened to be walking on the beach. As the tide continued to come in and the surf raged up the beach, they decided that it would be best to get the tur- tle to a more secure location. Usually, it is best not to move a sea turtle until responders arrive but in this case it was necessary if the turtle was going to survive. Gardner and Alec Reeves carried the turtle more than a mile and were able to meet up with the responding staff from Seaside Aquarium. The turtle was quickly loaded up and taken to the aquarium for evaluation. It was one of the most active sea turtles staff at the aquarium had dealt with in a long time, staff reported, an Corinne Reeves While it is usually best to not move sea turtles until responders arrive, Samuel Gardner, pictured, and Alec Reeves carried the 50 pound turtle to a safer location. uplifting sign. Thirty min- utes after the turtle arrived at Seaside Aquarium staff was informed that not only was the Oregon Coast Aquarium ready and prepared to take in cold, stunned sea turtles, but that they had another olive ridley sea turtle en route. The second turtle was found on the southern Ore- gon coast. Staff from the Seaside Aquarium drove the turtle down to the Ore- gon Coast Aquarium, one of two licensed rehabilita- tion facilities for sea turtles in the Pacifi c Northwest. The other facility is the Seattle Aquarium. PUBLIC SAFETY LOG SEASIDE POLICE DEPT. PUBLIC SAFETY LOG Oct. 23 3:44 a.m., 500 block Avenue A: A disturbance is reported. 10:54 a.m., 600 block S.
