An original piece of artwork that was handcrafted by a local artist was the only thing to make it out of the fire in the North Coast Land Conservancy office on Dec. 5.

The piece, called the Salmon Museum, was crafted in 1983 and was being stored at the NCLC office at 32825 Rippet Ln. It was developed by Ron Pittard as part of an educational program being run by the county.

Its caretaker for the last 20 years, Neal Maine, said it is public domain property kept through a federal grant. It travels around locally and appears at different events and programs.

The fire at 32825 Rippit Ln which was discovered the morning of Dec. 5 has been turned over to the police department to determine a cause.

See SALMON MUSEUM, page 5 The only survivor in a fire last week is a traveling exhibit depicting local salmon life.

Seaside Division Chief Chris Dugan explains how to find a cause after a fire

A fire starts overnight. By the time it’s noticed, the house is completely engulfed in flames. When fire crews get there, they work quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. But once the fire has been stopped, the work isn’t over. State

law requires every fire be investigated to determine what caused it.

But when you are left with a charred up pile of boards, how do you even begin to determine what caused that fire, and where?

“We compile all the indicators through physical evidence and interviews,” said Chris Dugan, the Division Chief for Seaside Fire Department and a member of the Clatsop County Fire Investigation Team.

The investigation starts as

Seaside Police lead investigation into recent area fires Three fires in the spans of 12 hours last week caused grave concern for the Seaside Fire Department, which has handed the investigation of two of the fires over to the Seaside Police Department.

“Any time a fire is of a suspicious nature, law enforcement takes over to determine if it was arson, or another unusual cause that’s not arson,” said Police Chief Bob Gross.

The two fires were discovered only hours apart. The first was located at 2080 N. Roosevelt, where a vehicle had caught fire Dec. 4 around 9 p.m. Then early the next morning, another fire at 32825 Rippit Lane was reported.

The former four-bedroom farm house served as the office for the North Coast Land Conservancy.

“There is some history with where the vehicle fire was discovered,” said Chris Dugan, Division Chief for Seaside Fire Department and a member of the Clatsop County Fire Investigation Team. “So when I heard of that one, I immediately informed the police department.”

Two previous fires in October at that same location were found to be intentionally set.

Dugan would not comment on whether this most recent fire, or the one at the NCLC office, were intentionally set or related in any way.

“You have to go into an investigation with a very open mind that it could be anything,” he said.

Dugan said he involved the police department right away in the investigations, because having three fires such in a short amount of time was suspicious in itself.

The Providence Seaside Festival of Trees raised just over $101,000 last weekend, well exceeding their goal of $75,000. “It was just incredible,” said Sydney Van Dusen, the director for Providence Seaside Hospital Foundation. “We had great participation and really beautiful trees this year.” A total of 300 guests participating in the gala and auction, filling 30 tables. The special call for the Telemedicine Fund raised $22,000, which was enough to purchase the equipment needed. Van Dusen said that program, which will bring specialists to the North Coast through a virtual clinic, should be up and running by the second quarter of next year. The Mr. Fix it Tree, which included a brand new nail gun, drill set, shop vacuum, chain saw and more, was the highest auctioned off tree at $4,100, well above its estimated value of $2,675. Second in line was a trip to Hawaii, donated by Councilor Tim Tolan. Other trees included a beer tree, with donated beer, gift certificates and swag from local breweries and a wine terrace tree. Twenty five trees in total were all decorated and donated to support the cause.

“We can’t thank the community enough for all they’ve done,” Van Dusen said. “When you see a community pull together like this, it’s really incredible.”

Gearheart City Council denies Shannon Smith’s request to postpone trial

City Manager Chat Sweet hands Mayor Widdop her new gavel.

Gearhart welcomes new Mayor, councilors Dianne Widdop was sworn in as Gearhart Mayor before the Dec. 5 city council meeting.

Former Mayor Kent Smith sat in the back row of the audience. “It feels good sititing back here,” he said.

Also sworn in were new councilors Sue

Lorain and Daniel Jesse.

“I just want to say how much I am looking forward to working with this council,” said Mayor Widdop. “I think it’s a good mix and we will be able to get a lot of things done for the City of Gearhart.

Just a few hours before last week’s council meeting in Gearhart, the city received a letter from Shannon Smith, owner of the Neacoxie Creek Barn Community Center. The letter was addressed to the council, planning commission and city administration.

Mayor Widdop read the letter to the council, which was not received in time to be an agenda item.

In the letter, Smith requested a mediation or omnibus meeting with the city to collaborate on the future of the barn.

“I have actually requested this several times via my legal team since the beginning of this past season, but I am unsure if this request has ever been presented to you directly,” stated Smith in the letter.

Smith was present at the meeting and reiterated this point, adding that she presented the letter to the planning commission also.

The meeting, as requested, would give an opportunity to talk freely about the as-

sumptions and conflicts over the last two years and try to allow the different parties to find a creative way to move forward. Smith said she hopes to dissolve some of the barriers before her and work constructively with the city for a common good, as well as rebuild trust. Smith also offered to have a neutral party facilitate the discussion to allow for more productive sharing of ideas and resolutions.

In the letter, Smith asked for a civil compromise for the remaining citations and outstanding enforcement action and to postpone the Dec. 17 municipal court date in order to allow for this mediation process.

“It’s already been set back once,” said Mayor Widdop.

“The original court date was in August, but it was changed to this date in December because that was more convenient for Shannon Smith.”

Councilor Sue Lorain agreed, adding that this request should have been brought up sooner than two

weeks before the court date.

“There have been many meetings about this over the last two years,” she said.

Smith informed them she first made this request back in July, but it had failed to make it before the council.

“My intention is to have a very different type of meeting than what we’ve been had in the past,” said Smith.

“Delaying this one more month is not going to hurt anyone.”

City Attorney Jeff Bennett told the council he was not prepared to deal with Smith’s request on such short notice.

He recommended the council put the item on their next agenda for January, as well as an executive session so he could bring them up to speed on some of the legal issues involved.

The council itself does not have the power to delay the court date, but can make a request to the judge.

However, the council did not instruct Bennett to request a delay for the December court hearing.

Seaside police arrest burglary suspect who is already in jail

Sunday morning at approximately 11:20 a.m., Seaside Police responded to Radio Shack after a male subject had stolen a Kindle Fire from a display case.

and one most expensive piece – an ibis, actually made by someone else. I appreciate Mr. Cook’s great talent but probably could never be one of his customers. His wife, Tina, was a great advocate and his son works with him too.

I was surprised to see that a blowpipe was so long (about five feet). It looks like an unarmed African spear. What do I know?

I was sorry to learn of the death of Perry Nordmark.

Perry looked a lot like his mother, who was a member of the Methodist Church before she died – a really sweet lady.

Perry’s obituary mentioned his great contribution to the blood bank. At the time he was donating his blood on a regular basis, I was still nursing and helping out at the Elks Lodge on Thursdays. I think it was once a month, taking vital signs and histories of those who came in. It was always nice to work with Perry because I’d known him a long time and he had a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

I learned why that helicopter from the Coast Guard was flying so low over my house the other day. I thought it might crash.

Out of the Ark

According to the paper, Santa Claus was aboard, heading toward the factory outlet and Toys ‘R Us. (He didn’t leave anything for me.) Whenever I see that aircraft, it usually means bad news for somebody – caught by the incoming tide, stranded on a cliff somewhere or even lost in the woods. They do a wonderfully courageous job and we’re so lucky to have them because they are Semper Paratus.

Like the annual smoked turkey, Santa brought me another Christmas wreath though I’d already had a present from that source. It’s beautiful and truly appreciated.

Clatsop Community Bank has a great looking tree in its fireplace alcove. Even though I couldn’t smell it, it is so realistic. One has to actually pinch the branches to find that it’s a phony, enhanced with hundreds of white lights.

Indeed a relaxing spot for Friday coffee.

Q: Why do mummies have such trouble keeping friends?

Birds do not smile – or do they?

Santa stopped and didn’t leave me anything December 2 a friend took me to the open house at John Cook’s glass blowing shop. It’s located close to the Pacific Way traffic light on Hwy 101. I once knew the name of the person who ran the service station on the North East corner but I’ve forgotten it.

It houses Mr. Cook’s business and still has remnants of its former use. One display room is the former SCENE location of the AND HEARD grease rack in the CLAIRE LOVELL garage. Overhead are the tracks which are always a part of working on a car – the lift, maybe.

The cement floor has been painted with a beautiful shade of brick red and oranges and other shades. The furnishings are Nordic looking and many of Mr. Cook’s art works are displayed there. He is a master of fine arts and has many objets d’art priced from $25 to $1,600 plus. There were lots of little pieces; sand dollars, light catchers, various sizes of round balls, a large assortment of earrings, exotic flowers in gorgeous colors, whimsical vases, decorative bowls

we all know it just doesn’t work like that.

This is a predicament all weekly newspapers find themselves in. And it’s a question we all have to ask ourselves: how can we keep our news fresh? Well one way is on our website. For those of you who check it regularly, there was coverage of the fires Wednesday morning. As soon as we knew, we were able to get something on the web to let you know. Not all of our readers check the website, but I would encourage you to do so if you have the ability, because new articles are posted daily. As it’s happening, we are putting it on the web. Basically what this means is the newspaper edition is a compilation of what happened the previous week, but almost all of the stories in it were posted first on our website.

If you already have a print subscription, you will easily be able to get behind the paywall for some of the stories.

“Stupid bird,” I thought. She let them get so close! The scene was repeated. Up went the bird, circled around above the frantic dogs, flew down the beach and landed. Off went the dogs after her again and again, splashing through the surf until they were almost out of sight. Suddenly, the bird wheeled and came back, pointed her long toes and set them gracefully down in the water, precisely where she’d been before the rover boys had shown- up.

The two sopping dogs, now far down the beach, just stood there looking at her. She was a long way off. Their lowered heads with tongues hanging out clearly said they were exhausted. I chuckled imagining the pet owner greeting these two bedraggled, sagging, muddy dogs with, “What in the world happened to you?”

I laughed to myself, “Not such a dumb bird after all.” The ballerina stood poised on one long slender leg and watched the dogs turn and slowly leave the beach. Birds don’t smile you say? Well, I think this one did.

Letters to the Editor What I’m doing over winter break

What I’m doing over winter break will be fun. Me and my family are going out of town for Christmas, me and my family are making a ginger bread house, and what I’m going to get for Christmas.

First, me and my family are going out of town for Christmas. Over winter break me and my family are going somewhere for Christmas. Me and my family are going to my dad’s cousin’s house. Me and my family are going to spend the night at my dad’s cousin’s house.

Second, me and my family are making a ginger bread house. During winter break me and my family are making a ginger bread house. Me and my little sister are going to help with the ginger bread house. When we put the frosting on the ginger bread house, we decorated it. We put the mini jaw breakers on roof of the ginger bread house and we put the mini gummy candy on too, plus we put ginger bread boy right next to the ginger bread house.

Finally, I’m going to get presents for Christmas. This Christmas I might get a tablet for Christmas. What I want for is a I-pad mini, a lap-top, and a brand new phone. I might even get the new Galaxy tablet or the “nook.”

As you can see I wrote about what I’m going to do over winter break.

Stay off drugs

Drugs are not good for you. They can put you in danger, cause accidents, and you can get in trouble.

First you can be in danger. A gang or hipsters can shoot you. People that just want drugs for free can hurt you.

Then you can die for getting shot.

You can get jumped or they can take your money or your drugs.

Second you can cause accidents.

You can crash if you are driving a car in the freeway or in the street. Then you can break your bones if you crash a car or you can kill yourself. Then you can break your ribs. Then you need to go to the hospital and they would put a bandage in your sides.

Finally you can get in trouble and get caught with drugs. Then if you take drugs at school you would get suspended at school or school suspension. Then after that you would get in trouble by your parents and you would be grounded at your house. After that the school would call the cops to go to your house and talk to your parents and your self.

As you can see drugs are not good for you. They can put you in danger, cause accidents and you can get in trouble.

n Aftermath From page 1 soon as the fire is discovered.

Details are taken from whoever reported it and dispatch relays the information as the fire department heads to the scene. When Dugan arrives on a fire, he pulls out his camera to take pictures. A lot can be assessed on first arrival, he said. If it’s a two story house, often times you can tell in what room the fire started based on what part of the house is burning.

“In most cases, the most burn damage is going to be wherever that fire started,” he said. “Because it’s been burning longest and hottest where it originally started… Most fires start small.”

Dugan said because fires burn up and out, it causes what are called V-Patterns.

By tracing the V-Pattern back to its base, investigators can often find the starting point.

Some fires might spread and create other V-Patterns, but the original pattern will have the most burn damage. Once the investigation team has a theory on how a fire started, they test it to make sure it’s physically possible.

“You need fuel, temperature and oxygen for a fire,” he said. “All three of those have to combine, so we look to make sure those three components are present through testing to see if the theory is a viable option for how that fire started.”

They also rely a lot on interviews of witnesses, whoever reported the fire and any past history they might know about the person or place. A fire last week at an apartment complex was caused by a lit candle. Through an interview with the renter, she said the

“The point is to make it as available as possible to the public,” Maine said, who is also a NCLC board member. “So anyone who wants can learn about local salmon and their ecology.”

The piece was scheduled to be moved to the library the day of the fire, as part of a tribute to its creator, Ron Pittard, who passed away the day before Thanksgiving.

tall building when I heard about the fire,” Maine said. “I got a call mid-morning that it was the only thing saved. That piece is irreplaceable.”

Fire fighters were able to remove the artwork, which sustained minor smoke damage.

Another original piece by Pittard was being stored in the same location. It too was a traveling exhibit, with hand-carved artifacts depicting a Native American landscape. The fire fighters went back for it as well, but the ceiling collapsed before they could get it out.

“It was really just split seconds in saving this thing,” said Maine.

The exhibit was taken to the

Seaside Aquarium to be cleaned up before being put on display at the library. It should arrive at the library by the end of the week.

Keith Chandler, the general manager at the Aquarium was the one who picked it up after the fire and brought it in. The Aquarium had been its home in the past, he said.

“I’m really glad it was saved,” Chandler said. “Of all the things to get saved, this is pretty amazing, because there is absolutely no way to ever reproduce it. It was just a miracle.”

Pittard had an unusual technique to create the fish which he developed himself and Chandler estimates no one else in the world knows.

fires has been completed and the department is waiting on test results of some materials that were recovered from the scenes.

“These kinds of things can end up taking quite a bit of time,” he said.

John Wickersham, the Interim Director for the North Coast Land Conservancy, said they should have a temporary office in place by the end of the week.

“It’s just about moving forward at this point,” he said. “We will find

mistakes.”

And “undetermined” is considered a legitimate fire cause, Dugan said. It’s one of four fire causes, the other three being accidental, incendiary and natural. It is up to every department’s Fire Chief to make sure each fire is

He would take original fish and cast each side in plaster of paris.

“He was so meticulous, he wouldn’t accept the fish to have two identical halves,” Maine said. “He wanted every scale to be exactly like it was on the original fish.”

When the cast dried, he would break it open and make a fiber glass cast to replicate the plaster of paris. Then he would peel off the plaster and glue the two halves together. Every individual scale was then painted several times to look just like the fish.

“It’s the kind of thing not just any mortal human could do,” Maine said. “He was so dedicated and meticulous.”

investigated and one of those four causes determined.

Two major reasons fires are investigated is to identify faulty equipment and educate people about fire safety. For example, if there are several fires that were all caused by a similar brand of toaster, that product can be identified as unsafe to prevent other fires.

If several candle fires break out, the fire department can work on educating the community about candle safety.

“Our ultimate goal is to reduce fires through enforcement, prevention and education,” Dugan said. “If we have several fires that are similar to one another, we can try and identify what the problem is and reduce the chances of it happening again… No one wants a fire; it is the most devastating thing you can do to a person, both mentally, physically and economically.”

The Museum displays several different types of local salmon, as well as salmon eggs both fertilized and unfertilized.

“It shows all stages of salmon life,” said Maine. “It really is one of a kind.”

The piece has made appearances in all the local schools and Maine said they like to make it available especially when a class is studying salmon life.

“It is as real and lifelike as possible,” said Jason Hussa, who works at the Aquarium. “The level of craftsmanship he put into it is unmatched. It is a real treasure and a jewel and we are all just so thrilled it made it out of the fire unscathed.”

“Any time a fire is of a suspicious nature, law enforcement takes over to determine if it was arson, or another unusual cause that’s not arson.”

Annual tree sale by Kiwanis Club of Seaside happening now at outlet mall For those of you who like that authentic Christmas smell, your wishes have been granted.The Kiwanis Club of Seaside began their annual tree sale on Dec. 5 at the Seaside Outlet Mall. With the help of the Seaside High-School Key Club, the trees were collected from a tree farm here in Oregon (which takes a lot of physical effort), loaded onto a trailer then

delivered to the Outlet Mall and unloaded again (more physical effort) and ready for sale.

The Kiwanis Club would suggest that you get your tree sooner than later this month as they sell fast. The Kiwanis trees have been a long tradition here in Seaside and with a great selection of sizes and two types of trees to choose from.

Sam Jasmin presented the check for $1,500 to Rachael Leroux.

SHS student helps bring toys to local kids this holiday season Rachael Leroux answered a challenge that Fox 12 Oregon and Les Schwab put out to Oregon schools to see which could collect the most toys for underprivileged children in their community.

The winning school would receive a check for $3,000 from their local Les Schwab. However since only two schools participated, the check was split between Seaside High School and Scappoose High School.

Rachael took the project on as her Pacifica

Project and collected 112 eligible toys from Oct. 1-19, which will be dispersed to local children.

Scappoose High School collected 181 toys as a class effort.

Sam Jasmin, the general manager of the Seaside Les Schwab, presented the check to Rachael, which will be divided up into three smaller scholarships for art, theatre and music.

“This was a major need this year,” said Jasmin.

“And it’s really a win-win because the toys go directly to the needy kids in our area.”

Rachael had originally planned on collecting stuffed animals to give to trauma patients as her Pacifica Project, and said she still might do that.

“I thought this was a good way to start and see what a toy drive would be like,” she said. “It was also for a really good cause and I was glad to be a part of it.”

This was the first year of the toy drive, which Jasmin said will be an annual event between Les Schwab and Fox 12 Oregon. He said he hopes it grows in size next year.

Christmas tree fire safety tips for home and business Decorating homes and businesses is a long-standing tradition around the holiday season. Unfortunately, these same decorations may increase your chances of fire.

Following a few simple fire safety tips can keep electric lights, candles and the ever popular Christmas tree from creating a tragedy.

• Don’t put your live Christmas tree up too early or leave it up for longer

than two weeks.

• Place trees away from heat sources, including fireplaces or heat vents. The heat will dry out the tree, causing it to be more easily ignited by heat, flame or sparks.

• Keep the live tree stand filled with water at all times.

• Use only nonflammable decorations.

• Don’t link more than three light strands, unless the directions indicate it’s

Ham radio operators say: ‘We are Donations needed to help injured wildlife everywhere, and we got your back’

By Sayde Moser

smoser@countrymedia.net

It’s a wife in Portland trying to get back home to the coast, but a storm has blocked the road and cut communication.

It’s a son studying abroad in Europe who is concerned about his family back home.

It’s a hiker stuck on a mountain with no supplies and no way to get down. It is community members everywhere who are looking for ways to help.

These are Ham radio operators. And they’re here to make sure if you need help, you’re taken care of.

The Seaside branch of Ham radio operators, known as the Seaside Tsunami Amateur Radio Society, formed in early 2007, just in time for the great storm. A Ham station was set up at the Bob Chisolm Center.

Now, six years later, there are seven Ham operating stations set up across town.

“If there is an emergency, we’re here; it’s what we live for,” said the club’s president Pat Love. The club boasts more than 60 members and additional clubs in Astoria and Cannon Beach are also in operation.

“All three clubs coordinate and work together on about everything,” Love said. “We’re a community.”

Many of the members are husband and wife duos who got involved to be able to communicate with each other incase of a disaster. In some cases, only one member of the household is a Ham and the other works as a support system.

Ham operators come from all walks of life and all have a basic knowledge of radio technology, operating principles and have passed a Federal

the time, a Seaman on the U.S.S. Medusa that was anchored at Pearl Harbor during the attack 71 years ago.

“If you had a baseball or a stone, you could have thrown it and hit a plane,” he says.

“They were that close.”

Even now at 91 years old, he remembers it like it was yesterday. And more than anything else, he wishes no one would ever forget that tragic day in American history.

“Unless you were there, you cannot know what it was like,” he says. “And people should never forget. That moment changed us as a country forever.”

Thomas, who is the only living Pearl Harbor survivor in Seaside and possibly the only in Clatsop County, hasn’t returned to the site in three or four years, but he participates every year in a ceremony held in Seaside to keep the memory of those who served and died alive.

The ceremony was held on Dec. 7 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center.

Dozens of people attended, including representatives from the Seaside Fire Department, Seaside Police Department, Camp Rilia, the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as Sate Senator Betsy Johnson, Mayor Don Larson and Councilor

“Today is a day to think that this man was on a little boat in the water when the Arizona went down,” said Mayor Larson. “That’s amazing. Seventy-one years ago he was in his uniform protecting our freedom. Seaside is proud to have you as a Pearl Harbor survivor.”

“It shook this country to the bones the day it happened,” said Ron Kinsley, who gave the opening speech. “There are a lot of younger people in the audience today and that makes my heart feel really good.”

“These heros [of World War II] hold a cherished

place in our history,” said Lieutenant Colonel Dean Perez of Camp Rilea.

The crowd also gathered outside to watch a wreath laying off the First Avenue Bridge, in honor of those who died. In 2001, Thomas convinced the city to dedicate the bridge as the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge.

Somber and quiet, Thomas bowed his head in a moment of silence before holding the wreath up proudly as a Coast Guard helicopter flew over.

Taps played in the background as he let the wreath go.

Another year has passed, but Thomas will never forget.

Senior Lucas Clark goes in for a shot to advance the Seagull’s lead against Warrenton.

PHOTOS BY JEFF TERHAR

The Seagulls never gave up their lead against Knappa, finishing 30 points ahead.

Boys land on top against Warrenton, Knappa The SHS boys basketball team came back with a vengeance Dec. 4, ready to put their loss against Newport behind them.

Lucas Clark played a great

game, scoring 19 points. Eleven Seagulls scored that night, including two great three-point shots by Taylor Garhofer and Jefferson Farmer in the second period.

The boys were able to retrieve the ball and Warrenton allowed them to try for second-chance shots more than one.

The score was 34-24 going into half time and the Seagulls

increased their lead to 25 points in the last quarter with scores from Parker Riser and Soren Jahansson.

And they didn’t stop there.

The Seagulls won again at their

Dec. 7 game against Knappa.

They lead by 19 points in the first quarter and refused to give up their lead, ended the game exactly 3 points ahead of their opponent.

Girls lose to Warrenton 45-56 The SHS girls basketball team was still riding high from their win against Newport, but last week’s opponent proved to be a bit tougher.

Kaitlin Lewis suffered a fall and landed on her

hand in the first half that compromised her performance in the second half.

Yet she still managed to score 13 points, and tied with Maddy Villegas for most points scored.

The score was tied go-

ing into half time 22-22, after the Seagulls pulled it together to come back from a 13-point deficit in the second quarter. They did take the lead in the third period, but couldn’t hold onto it for long.
