“She just dropped
in,” Wright said. “She
immediately came over
and tried to fi gure out
what she could do.”
The Wertzes funded
the renovation, which
has been a draw at
the museum since its
opening.
The Seaside Museum
& Historical Society
opened in 1983.
The one-ton Lino-
type was delivered to
the museum in 1986,
carried in by the fi re
department.
An
accompanying
video introduces visi-
tors to a similar machine
still in use at a newspa-
per in Colorado.
“It’s
fascinating
when you can watch
and see how it works
and the complexity,”
Bill Wertz said.
“It makes you really
appreciate how they
had to put that paper
out. It was versatile. It
worked. And it printed
many, many newspa-
pers until the advent of
the computer and opti-
cal type.”
The exhibit includes
enlarged photo repro-
ductions from the Sig-
nal’s offi ce on Broad-
way across from what
was then the City Hall
— and is now Seaside
Brewery.
Samples of edi-
tions present the chang-
ing face of journalism
and how the newspa-
per covered some of the
important events in that
community’s history.
Griffi th recognized
the paper’s founder,
R.M.
Watson,
and
future owners B.J. Cal-
lahan and E.N. Hurd,
and Max Schafer and
his family, who ran the
paper for 46 years.
Columnists
Claire
Lovell and Elna Furnish
were also recalled for
their contributions to
the newspaper, as was
printer Wayne Brown,
who operated the Lino-
type machine.
“Everything that was
printed in town was
printed in that shop,”
Griffi th said.
Bill Wertz, originally
from New Mexico, was
inspired by his long
career in journalism to
support the exhibit’s
enhancements.
As a bureau chief for
the Associated Press,
he covered statehouses
throughout the coun-
try. He followed with
a career in corporate
communications before
retiring in 2019.
“This has been a lot
of fun for me,” Wertz
said of the exhibit.
“When I was a col-
lege student I worked
at the college news-
paper, which was then
printed the same way
the Seaside Signal was
printed, using a Lino-
type machine.
“It’s just great to
relive those years and
think about all the fun
we had working with
those guys,” Wertz said.
“They were crusty
old veterans and they
taught young folks
like me a lot, about
not only the printing
business, but the busi-
ness of writing sto-
ries. I’ve never for-
gotten those days, and
it was fun. Hopefully
this will give you sort
of a sense of what the
newspaper was like for
many, many years.”
Rentals: Density limits may be lower

grace period from 60 to 90
days when a vacation rental
property is transferred in
order to give previous own-
ers the opportunity to clear
out existing reservations
after a conditional use per-
mit has been voided.
There are about 350
vacation rentals approved
or in process within Sea-
side — and about 400 with
the addition of rental con-
dos, single-family dwellings
operating as motels and bed-
and-breakfasts, according
to acting City Planner Jeff
Flory.
The density policy is spe-
cifi c to the zoning and area
where vacation rentals are
permitted.
In the resort residen-
tial zone, there is no den-
sity requirement. In the
higher residential zones —
R-2 and R-3 — the den-
sity is 40% unless the prop-
erty is near the oceanfront
area, which is 50%. Any-
thing below 20% in those
areas may receive a vaca-
tion rental permit with-
out Planning Commission
review, as long as the prop-
erty meets standards out-
lined in the code.
While a density reduc-
tion could aff ect residen-
tial zones where vacation
rentals are permitted, about
90 oceanfront homes could
become eligible as vacation
rentals.
“I would imagine that
some of those property
owners want to keep their
houses for themselves,
just because properties are
allowed to doesn’t mean
that suddenly everybody’s
going to,” Commissioner
Kathy Kleczek said.
Kleczek said a cap of 400
vacation rentals could pro-
vide opportunities for hous-
ing for employees of all
economic levels.
“It keeps it so that we

aren’t going to get out of
control,” she said. “And we
aren’t going to continue to
hemorrhage full-time, long-
term housing.”
Commissioner Seth Mor-
risey and other commission-
ers said they would prefer to
regulate via density.
“I think that makes more
sense than an overall cap,”
Morrisey said.
While rejecting the cap,
the Planning Commission
proposed a two-year wait-
ing period for a vacation
rental permit on new con-
struction after the property
has been issued a certifi cate
of occupancy by the build-
ing offi cial.
The waiting period gives
homeowners “more of a
feel of the community and
the needs of the commu-
nity before they then decide
to turn it into a vacation
rental,” Kleczek said.
City Attorney Dan Van
Thiel said the city was on
solid ground with the pro-
posed changes.
“These are policy con-
siderations,” he said. “I
don’t know that there are
many legal considerations.
I watched you discuss these
things. And we’re creat-
ing a record as to how we
arrived at what we do from
a policy standpoint. With
that in mind, you can basi-
cally do whatever you want
to do, within reason.”
Currently
permitted
vacation rentals will not
be subject to the proposed
policy changes, Flory
said. However, if a permit-
ted rental is sold, any new
owner of that property will
be subject to the policies
of the Planning Commis-
sion and City Council that
are in place at the time of
application.
The recommendations
will head to the City Coun-
cil for review.
