Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2016 Weather coming Commercial crab ﬁ shery along for the holiday Oregon, Washington coasts Associated Press The National Weather Service issued an urgent high wind warning that will affect cities from Florence to Ocean Park, Washington, over the Thanksgiving holiday. A high wind watch is in effect beginning tonight through Thursday evening. Winds are expected to increase out of the south to 35 and 40 mph with gusts of 50 to 60 mph begin- ning this evening and con- tinuing through Thursday morning. These winds will decrease during Thanksgiving Day but may pick up again late in the afternoon to 40 and 45 mph with gusts of up to 65 mph extending into the nighttime hours. The highest winds will be near beaches and headlands and may make travel difﬁ - cult. As always during high wind periods, there is a dan- ger of tree damage and spotty power disruptions. By KATIE FRANKOWICZ For The Daily Astorian Going into November, the crab looked good and ﬁ sh- ery managers in Oregon and Washington were hopeful for a Dec. 1 opener for the season. Now the commercial Dungeness crab season will be delayed along the entire Oregon coast due to concerns about high levels of the marine toxin domoic acid in crab vis- cera (the guts) in some areas of the coast, and the likelihood of levels rising in other areas. Even though Washington has not seen the same high lev- els of domoic acid this time Start a new Thanksgiving tradition: Free ﬁ shing Friday and Saturday Associated Press Take family and friends ﬁ shing for free on Friday and Saturday.

Phone scams are another seasonal crime to watch out for. Scammers have been calling local hotels to ask guests for their credit card information. Through Facebook, Cannon Beach police are reminding hotels to not put callers through to rooms without verifying that the caller knows the party, and reminding guests to not give out personal information over the phone. “If you have any financial or personal business with the front desk, do it in person and not via the phone,” the Police Department posted Saturday.

All that crab has con- sistently tested well, he said. “We were a little con- cerned when we saw the Ore- gon results.
