Talamantez, Class of 2022 grads making their college debuts
By GARY HENLEY
The Astorian
The stage is bigger and
the lights a little brighter for
a group of former Clatsop
County athletes who will be
making their appearance at
the collegiate level beginning
this month.
A few Class of 2022 grad-
uates are already suited up
and ready to play this fall,
including Seaside’s Lawson
Talamantez (Eastern Oregon
football) and Warrenton’s
Avyree Miethe (Blue Moun-
tain Community College
volleyball).
Talamantez and the Moun-
taineers open their season
Aug. 27 in La Grande against
Montana Tech.
Miethe was in action along
with Naselle’s Peyton Dal-
ton, when the Timberwolves
opened the 2022 season at
Walla Walla University.
In cross-country, Warren-
ton’s Zander Moha is ready
to run for Corban Univer-
sity in Salem, with the fi rst
meet (Cascade Collegiate
Conference) scheduled for
Sept. 9.
More local athletes will
begin their college careers in
the winter and spring.
Two Warrenton wrestlers
have added their names to
college rosters, signing let-
ters of intent with Oregon
schools.
Parker Greenawald (fourth
place at state, 145 pounds),
will wrestle at Southwestern
Oregon Community College
in Coos Bay; and teammate
Alex Tapia (second place at
state, 170 pounds) signed
with Linfi eld University in
McMinnville.
Meanwhile, former War-
rior baseball player Jake
Morrow, who recently com-
pleted his freshman season
at Linn-Benton and initially
was headed for the Univer-
sity of Washington, will suit
up for the Washington State
Cougars next school year.

Artwork by Dan Gerth at the Trail’s End Art Association
and Gallery.
Retrospective at Trail’s End
The Trail’s End Art Association Gallery is pleased to
off er open a new show in September featuring the excit-
ing and skillful photographs by Daniel Gerth.
This exhibit refl ects upon Dan’s last 20 years of work.
It includes some of his favorite landscape photographs,
both grand and intimate, still life composite composi-
tions made by a unique technique called light sculpting,
and street scenes in both black and white and color.
A reception for the artist takes place Sept. 3, during
the Gearhart Art Walk, 2 to 5 p.m. The gallery will be
open Fridays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., from
Sept. 2 to Sept. 25.
Gerth has used both fi lm and digital cameras in a vari-
ety of formats, and the prints are archival quality pigment
prints. There are also three carbon transfer prints, which are
contact prints from large format negatives. Dan was a recent
winner in the Association’s 71st Annual Judged Show.
The gallery is located at 656 A Street in Gear-
hart. TrailsEndArt.org. Phone 503 717-9458 and email
trailsendartassociation@gmail.com.
During his residency,
Vanegas volunteered as
the house offi cer associ-
ation representative for
the emergency medicine
residency program and
as an emergency medi-
cine resident social media
liaison.
Vanegas cofounded and
serves as a board member
for MEDLIFE, a nonprofi t
organization that partners
with low-income com-
munities throughout the
wolrd to improve access
to medicine, education and
community development
initiatives.
there that are established:
the indoor batting facil-
ity that exists, concession
stands and locker rooms
within the existing gym
that could be remodeled as
team rooms.”
On Aug. 1, Skyler
Archibald, the park district
executive director, wrote
in a letter to the district that
Broadway Field is the best
choice.
The site off ers infra-
structure, access to play-
ing fi elds and to the train-
ing facility, Archibald said.
“Sitting in the heart of
Seaside, Broadway Field
has the tradition, infra-
structure and location to
provide a unique play-
ing and recreating expe-
rience,” he wrote. “Keep-
ing Broadway Field as the
home fi eld for high school
and middle school ath-
letics is benefi cial to the
community and ensures
the best use of funds for
all parties. While there will
be questions to address as
we move forward, SEPRD
feels confi dent that the
parties can work together
to continue providing
this great space for our
community.”
Seaside Public Works
staff also recommended
10K RUN/WALK
SUNDAY, OCT. 9
the Broadway site as their
preferred location.
“That information is
moved forward to city staff
and city manager and the
team has met with Seaside
Kids board to share details
of the project and gather their
feedback,” Hardebeck said.
“That open line of communi-
cation will continue as we get
through the next presentations
to council on Sept. 12.”
Hardebeck said the school
district hopes to create a
spring sports destination loca-
tion, with simultaneous game
play options for both softball
and baseball, and changing
facilities at the Sunset Rec-
reation Center for home and
away teams.
“The vision is to remodel
two existing gymnasium
locker rooms into four smaller
team rooms without shower
facilities but with toilet facil-
ities,” he said.
The Herche Family Train-
ing Facility, designed and
developed with donations and
contributions from the com-
munity, may complicate mat-
ters. The center, which opened
in 2021, was made possible
by an initial $50,000 donation
from the Herche family.
The site survey indicates
the location is feasible with
modifi cations which entails
the relocation and realign-
ment of the training facility,
which is feasible and within
the budget at this point, Har-
debeck said.
The district is reaching
out for the Herche family to
receive direct feedback from
them on their feelings on
the situation, Superintendent
Susan Penrod said.
The school district’s
request to develop a softball
fi eld comes in response to a
complaint fi led against the
district by the Offi ce of Civil
Rights alleging discrimina-
tion against female athletes
on the basis of sex and equal-
ity in the athletics programs at
the high school.
The Offi ce of Civil Rights
requires the district to sub-
mit regular check-ins before
the deadline of June 23, 2023,
Penrod said. “We have sub-
mitted two so far, but neither
requires a request for a time
extension.”
The school district will
not present a design proposal
until siting is agreed upon.
