5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2016 Tongue Point: Port of Astoria leased site in 2009 with high hopes Continued from Page 1A The Port and Bly had been exchanging draft compensation agreements and counteroffers. Knight said a fundamental difference was that Bly wanted compensation for the work he did in a white paper, an authoritative report on a pro- posal, while the agency wanted to compensate him speciically for cargo he directed to the Port. “It does appear we can’t bridge that gap,” Knight said. Untapped potential The Port leased North Tongue point in 2009 with high hopes. The site has played host to many proposals, but nothing has reached frui- tion. The site is used primarily as a temporary location for Paciic Seafood Group, along with storage and work space for two shipbuilding and repair companies. The Port’s lease on the property expires in 2019 but includes options to extend or buy the property. A majority of Port commissioners support buying the facil- ity, but the agency lacks the money. Knight has said the Port and Washing- ton Development Group, the Montana-based owner of the property, are still apart on a pur- chase price, but that the agency doesn’t feel rushed to take action. He contends the pur- chase price needs to go down because of the signiicant investment needed to modernize the facility. Associated Press Continued from Page 1A While people lee, others in Matthew’s path stay put CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Despite evacuation orders and dire warnings, Robert and Georgette Tyler say they are staying put in their 500-square foot rental home in Cape Canaveral, undeterred by a furious Hurricane Matthew, which was soon to be knocking on their door. Taking a break from putting plywood on windows, Robert Tyler said he feared getting stuck in trafic and that it was too much trouble to pack up his motorcycles and irearms. He has two generators, 50 gallons of fuel and enough food and water for a week. Plus, he is a handyman and his phone will be ring- ing off the hook once the storm passes. “It’s part of Florida life I guess,” he said. As Matthew put the U.S. in its sights, about 2 million peo- ple were encouraged to head inland ahead of the most power- ful storm to threaten the Atlantic coast in more than a decade. Matthew killed at least 16 people in the Caribbean as it cut through Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas. The storm was fore- cast to scrape much of the Florida coast tonight, potentially as a Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, and any slight deviation could mean landfall or it heading farther out to sea. Either way, forecasters say it is going to be close enough to wreak havoc along the lower part of the East Coast, dump- ing up to 15 inches in rain in some spots. Body image advice for parents amid 2016 campaign insults WASHINGTON — Even if your daughters don’t pay much attention to politics, they’d be hard-pressed to have missed Donald Trump’s attack of a former Miss Universe’s weight or comments about a 400-pound hacker. It resonated with a 15-year-old who said this week the words damage girls’ body image and asked Hillary Clinton how to help. And it resonates with adolescent and mental health experts who say it’s time to make clear to kids that they’re more than their looks — even if a presidential candidate can get away with publicly degrading comments. Girls are particularly at risk for having a distorted body image that can lead to eating disorders, regardless of their weight. “For them to have that be reinforced by a presidential candidate, it really sets us back generations,” said Dr. Jane Swedler, chief of adolescent medicine at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, New York. “We can’t tell the kids just to turn him off, because that’s not the answer,” added mental health expert Linda Lucker Leibowitz of the University of Pennsylvania. She says par- ents, teachers and counselors alike need to talk with children of all ages about this kind of weight bullying. inding other legal support, per- haps attorneys who would work pro bono, to robustly defend the water district. Origins of the dam The debate has churned up interest in the origins of the dam and in the expert assess- ments of the structure’s useful- ness for lood control. The Eighth Street Dam was built over the Skipanon River in 1963 with the help and inanc- ing of the federal government, part of three lood control struc- tures on the river. The federal Natural Resources Conservation Ser- vice said in 2014 that the water district was free to operate or decommission the dam as the owner because the federal interest was complete once the structure reached the end of its useful life of 50 years. That ownership, the city believes, is contingent on the city easement the water dis- trict obtained to operate the dam, an easement the city now maintains the district has forfeited. A 2002 summary report on the dam and the other lood-control structures by the Natural Resources Conserva- tion Service — released by the city to The Daily Astorian through a broader public-re- cords request — provides some ammunition for all sides in the dispute. The federal report found that the dam was likely only useful in a two-year lood, not the more serious 10-year lood anticipated when the project was designed in the 1960s. The report recommended the dam not be permanently removed without additional planning by the local com- T HURSDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM munity, warning that removal would increase the risk of lood damage to upstream properties. The Nygaard family, who owns Warrenton Fiber, and Mayor Mark Kujala’s family, who own property near the dam, have urged the city to take con- trol of the dam because of the potential for lood risk if it is removed. The report also found that the dam was nearing the end of its useful life and would at some point need to be refur- bished, replaced or removed. The federal government recom- mended more study to evaluate alternatives, including better topographical surveys to accu- rately map the lood plain. A state inspection A decade later, after a 2012 inspection, the state Water Resources Department ques- tioned whether the dam was capable of lood control. The inspection suggested the dam was probably a signiicant hazard and that an engineer- ing analysis and options for removal were warranted. The water district approved an engineering plan earlier this year that concludes that remov- ing the dam would not increase lood risk. A city technical review of the engineering plan, however, questioned whether the water district and the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce — a onetime partner in the dam’s removal — accurately mapped the lood plain. Questions about whether Kurt Fritsch, the for- mer city manager, should have informed the City Commission about the technical review led to Fritsch’s resignation in June and Blitz’s fact-inding report on the dam. Scheller, of the water dis- trict, is convinced the dam is a hazard and should go. But Blitz has said the city should take control of the dam and deter- mine whether it should be oper- ated for lood control or even- tually removed, potentially in return for wetland mitiga- tion on a future development project.

He estimates the termi- nal would cost about $100 million to build, and could provide more than $3 million in annual revenue to the Port. The proposed freight, he has said, is “not lammable, explo- sive, toxic, hazardous, corrosive or caustic. It is not coal, petroleum, LNG or some other petrochemical.” Knight said most estimates he’s heard to make the property a modern terminal range from $500 million to $1 billion. Asked why such an owner-operator like Bly has mentioned hasn’t come to the Port directly with a proposal for North Tongue Point, Knight said the cost of upgrading the site could be too high to warrant the investment. Dam: Structure built over Skipanon River in 1963 WORLD IN BRIEF A A new issue, Knight said, is who’s responsi- ble for improving the sewage system at Tongue Point. The U.S. Department of Labor, which oversees the Tongue Point Job Corps Center, has been planning an improvement of its sew- age system, and likely disconnecting from the Port, which could have to inance pumping its sewage over a hill to Astoria’s lagoons. “If it becomes a Port obligation, do we upgrade the sewage system, or eventually walk away from Tongue Point?” Knight asked. • • • • Best Baby Costume Best Couples Costume Best Group Costume Best Homemade Costume Evening listings THURSDAY O CTOBER 6 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM W INNER A NNOUNC S ED N OV . 9 TH 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 KATU News at 6 Jeopardy!
