McMaster
competes in
national meet
Recent Astoria High
School graduate Colton
McMaster was in Eugene
in June, competing in
the annual Nike Outdoor
Nationals.
Held at Hayward Field,
the four-day event was the
31st outdoor high school
national
championship,
showcasing the best high
school track and fi eld ath-
letes in the United States.
Fresh off his state titles
in the discus and shot put,
McMaster competed in
the same two events in the
nationals meet, against the
best prep throwers in the
country.
McMaster had a toss
of 57 feet, 8½ inches on
his second throw in the
boys shot put, a mark good
enough for 11th place out
of 24 throwers. The win-
ning mark was a 67-3½, by
Zane Forist of Carson City,
Michigan.
Later, McMaster had a
throw of 159-1 on his sec-
ond throw in the discus to

The winner was Clat-
sop County, with a big assist

The Astoria graduate and
All-Pro safety for the Buf-
falo Bills held his summer
football camp on June 18
at CMH Field, and on June
20 hosted his second annual
JP Open golf tournament at
the Astoria Golf & Country
Club.
Along with money raised
from the camp and the
golf tournament —which
included an auction after
the tournament — the Jor-
dan Poyer Foundation raised
thousands of dollars for
local high school athletic
programs.
One item at the auction —
a ticket for two to the Bills’
home opener against Ten-
nessee — sold for $40,000.
The auction included
autographed helmets, cleats
and jerseys, along with
donated gifts.
And helping draw the
spectators for the golf tour-
nament was Poyer’s fellow
safety with the Bills, Micah
Hyde.
Poyer and Hyde are con-
sidered by many as the top
safety tandem in the NFL.
Earlier this year, Poyer
contributed $10,000 through
his foundation and donated
an autographed jersey and
helmet that raised $14,000
for the Columbia Memorial
Hospital Foundation for the
hospital’s upcoming expan-
sion project.

Cannon Beach to ban scooter rentals
By NICOLE BALES

CANNON BEACH —
In an attempt to get ahead
of electric scooter rental
companies, the City Coun-
cil agreed to pursue an ordi-
nance prohibiting scooters
on city streets.
The City Council is
expected to review an ordi-
nance in early July. Peo-
ple would still be allowed
to ride personal motorized
vehicles.
Some city leaders and
residents
raised
con-
cerns about the possibil-
ity of electric scooter rent-
als while drafting the city’s
transportation system plan.

The rapid growth of electric scooters caught many cities by surprise.
consider a prohibition, not-
ing that the city is limited
in preventing companies
from coming.
City Manager Bruce St.
Denis said some compa-
nies have reached out to
the city showing interest
and asking for rules regard-
ing electric scooter rentals.
He said there are some
policies the city can choose
to prohibit scooters, but he
recommended making the
rule as clean as possible,
adding that it could always
be reversed.
“Right now, we think
the city would be in the
best position, if you’re not
going to consider it, just to
have an ordinance that pro-
hibits,” St. Denis said.
The city manager shared
an ordinance adopted in
Destin, Florida, which he
said banned electric scoot-
ers after they became
problematic.
City Councilor Robin
Risley also raised concerns
about Segway rentals.
“I just was driving in
Seaside today, and some-
body just went whipping
through on the road and I
thought, ‘Wow, they can
really go fast,’” Risley
said.
