THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 3A By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Alana Garner, director of the Astoria Downtown His- toric District Association for the past three years, is step- ping down and leaving for La Grande next month. Garner announced her intentions publicly at the downtown association’s meeting Friday. Her last day is Oct. 7. Garner started as the irst full-time director of the downtown association in August 2013. She said her irst notable memory was of the Paciic Northwest Brew Cup, scuttled by a storm on the Astoria Riverwalk and reassembled in one night at another location by a corps of volunteers. “My irst mem- ory of Astoria and … really understanding the commu- nity spirit of this town was all solidiied in that one week- end,” she said. “It’s really been a great experience integrating into the community, working with the community.” Garner said her partner lives in La Grande. From there, she hopes to study online for a master’s in eco- nomic development and his- toric preservation and chart the next steps in her life. “My life goal would be to own a historic building somewhere, location to be determined,” Garner said. Garner, from the small town of Ivor, Virginia, grad- uated in 2009 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with a bach- elor’s in public and urban affairs. She attended school with Blaire Buergler, her pre- decessor as director of the downtown association. Buergler was employed through AmeriCorps’ Resource Assistance for Rural Environments pro- gram, which places Ameri- Corps interns in rural com- munities. The downtown association joined the pro- gram in 2010 and cycled through Buergler and Rebecca Frick before hiring Garner. Before she came to Asto- ria, Garner was an Amer- iCorps intern with La Grande’s Oregon Main Street program, which provides assistance, training and tech- nical services to communi- ties that want to strengthen, preserve and revitalize a his- toric downtown commercial district. Astoria is also part of the Main Street program. In Astoria, Garner orga- nized the downtown associa- tion’s main fundraisers, such as the Jane Barnes Revue drag show and Paciic North- west Brew Cup. The events funded Garner’s position and the downtown association’s efforts such as cleanups, plant watering, holiday cel- ebrations and Novel Efforts Downtown, a series of lec- tures meant to help down- town business owners. Five months after Garner started, Astoria was named a Performing Downtown, the highest designation possi- ble through the Oregon Main Street Program. Dulcye Taylor, owner of Old Town Framing and pres- ident of the downtown asso- ciation’s governing board, said Garner will be dificult to replace. “It’s a big job for one person to do everything, and Alana’s done a great job of that,” she said. Taylor said the downtown association will re-evaluate the job description before putting out the call for a replacement, and that she would like to see someone with AmeriCorps and Ore- gon Main Street experience. Key player in Astoria downtown to depart $250,000 in pot for iscal year By DERRICK DePLEDGE The Daily Astorian Merchants and apartment owners in Uniontown will soon be able to apply for a share of $250,000 in urban renewal money for storefront improvement projects. The city hopes the incen- tive will help revitalize com- mercial, industrial and apart- ment property along West Marine Drive. Under the program, the city will match storefront repairs up to $10,000, cover 25 percent of work up to $50,000, and help with loans through Craft3 for projects over $50,000. Any project over $10,000 will require approval from the Astoria Development Com- mission, which is made up of the City Council. The commis- sion voted unanimously Tues- day night to launch the new program. The commission also voted 4-0 to add the city’s nondiscrimination policy to the grants, with City Coun- cilor Zetty Nemlowill abstain- ing because she did not have time to examine the impact on businesses. “My biggest fear is that we launch this program and we can’t get any takers,” said Kevin Cronin, the city’s com- munity development director. “But I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think it’s going to be the opposite. I think we’re going to get quite a few appli- cations in the door when it’s all said and done.” The city wants to refresh its pockmarked western gateway. Cronin said the storefront improvement program could be a “conversation starter” for Uniontown property owners interested in more substantial urban renewal projects. The city is reviewing whether to expand the Astor West Urban Renewal Dis- trict to include Bond Street, a move that could potentially reopen Bond to two-way traf- ic and offer sweeteners for homeowners to improve their properties. In other business Tuesday night, the City Council: • Called for a special meet- ing in October on city budget issues. The Parks and Recreation Department and other depart- ments are experiencing staff- ing challenges that will require the City Council to prioritize services. While such choices were anticipated when the council approved the budget, depart- ment reports over the irst few months of the iscal year have highlighted the stafing challenges. • Presented City Councilor Drew Herzig with a framed pewter plate with the city seal to mark his four years on the council. Herzig is moving to Mas- sachusetts and will not seek re-election to a second term in November. His last council meeting was Tuesday. “I appreciate our mutual interest in democracy,” Nem- lowill told Herzig, who she said had “rufled some feath- ers” at the city. “I’ve always known why you were here. You were here because you believe in democracy and you believe in serving the public. And that’s why I’m here, too.” Astoria offers upgrade bucks for Uniontown storefronts The Daily Astorian/File Photo After more than three years as the director of the Asto- ria Downtown Historic District Association, Alana Gar- ner is leaving in October for La Grande.

Painkillers and anti-inflammatories can get us through a tough time with back, neck, head or leg pain, but they weren’t designed for long-term use. Yearly deaths from pain medication are climbing. Other side effects can include constipation, liver and kidney damage; addiction from them is real and a growing problem. Pain is a signal that something is wrong. Pain medication does not fix the problem — it changes the brain. Reducing pain can be as simple as iden- tifying its source and providing a differ- ent approach — chiropractic is an impor- tant part of that. “Maybe you don’t have to live with it.” Call 503-325-3311.

You’ll get a second chance to enroll in Medicare Part B (medical) during the “general enrollment period,” every January 1 to March 31. Coverage starts July 1. If you enroll then, you may be charged a 10% penalty for each 12-month period you were eligible for Part B but didn’t enroll. So overall, it’s best to sign up during initial enrollment--the seven months surrounding your 65th birthday.

For the majority of patients concerned about their dental health this is a reasonable interval. However, for many patients who struggle with plaque control, have poor brushing habits, inadequate diets, smokers, and patients with medical conditions such as diabetes a more frequent cleaning interval is recommended and appropriate.

The Daily Astorian
Alana Garner, director of the Astoria Downtown His-toric District Association for the past three years, is step-ping down and leaving for La Grande next month.
Garner announced her intentions publicly at the downtown association’s meeting Friday. Her last day is Oct. 7.
Garner started as the irst full-time director of the downtown association in August 2013. She said her irst notable memory was of the Paciic Northwest Brew Cup, scuttled by a storm on the Astoria Riverwalk and reassembled in one night at another location by a corps of volunteers. “My irst mem-ory of Astoria and … really understanding the commu-nity spirit of this town was all solidiied in that one week-end,” she said.
“It’s really been a great experience integrating into the community, working with the community.”
Garner said her partner lives in La Grande. From there, she hopes to study online for a master’s in eco-nomic development and his-toric preservation and chart the next steps in her life.
“My life goal would be to own a historic building somewhere, location to be determined,” Garner said.
Garner, from the small town of Ivor, Virginia, grad-uated in 2009 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with a bach-elor’s in public and urban affairs. She attended school with Blaire Buergler, her pre-decessor as director of the downtown association.
Buergler was employed through AmeriCorps’ Resource Assistance for

preserve and revitalize a his-toric downtown commercial district.
Astoria is also part of the Main Street program.
