7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2016 House shaped like big boat hits market come out to Oregon to buy timber for his factory back east,” Fish explained. “There’s a myrtle tree that’s still on that property that she and her dad used to sit under and have lunch when they’d visit. Later on, it turned out the little house that was then on the property came up for sale and Edna wanted to buy it, so she did.” According to Fish, his mother and Skinner were known for throwing parties so extravagant they became as famous as the home itself. “There was a lot of action at those parties,” Fish said. “They were over the top: 300 people as guests, fully catered parties with ice sculptures, food flown in from all over.” Skinner was perhaps best known for her role as Kay Addison in the 1960’s televi- sion series, “Mr. Ed.” With commanding views of the bay and surrounding hillsides, a colorful history and close to a million dol- lar appraisal value, it remains to be seen just how long it will take for the home to be scooped up by prospective buyers. “It’s a cool house, no ques- tion,” Fish said. “I just live too far away with my family to take care of it.” By SPENCER COLE The World Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian Workers prepare to load equipment onto a barge on a new dock at Warrenton Marina on Monday. Dock: Project may come in under budget Continued from Page 1A The new dock’s main walk- way — composite decking made with fiberglass and fea- turing 60 percent light pene- tration for fish — is already in place. Last week, contractors attached some of F Dock’s fin- ger piers. This week, the plat- form was secured with steel pilings driven into the basin. Electricity and water hookups for the boats are on the way. Another important step was the removal of the sunken Captain Nielsen fishing boat, which had been abandoned in the marina and became prop- erty of the city, according to Travis Benson, a marina main- tainer. Bergerson dismantled and hauled the boat out of the water in November. The new F Dock gangway and the other three gangways will be installed within the next few weeks. The improvements mark the first stage of a long-term marina restoration project, Raise: Director gets a 2.5 percent pay increase Continued from Page 1A Hunsinger said the salary bump is not a good idea when the Port is uncertain about how it will pay for some other proj- ects. Fulton said he couldn’t support the increase, based on his 50 percent rating of Knight in the evaluation and because of the issues Hunsinger raised. In other news: • Knight, nominated by Mushen for the Special Dis- tricts Association of Oregon’s Outstanding Manager of the Year Award, lost out but was given a certificate of recogni- tion. Luanne Richey, the associ- ation’s director of membership services, wrote that “Although Mr. Knight was not selected to receive the outstanding man- ager award, the (awards) com- mittee was extremely impressed with his significant contribu- tions to the district.” • The Port renewed a one- year contract with Gary Kobes to continue as manager of the Astoria Regional Airport in Warrenton for $50 an hour. Kobes is a contractor with the Port through his company, Landside Resources Inc., and a commissioner for the Port of Chinook, Washington. • Jim Lanzarotta, an accoun- tant with Moss Adams LLP, said the Port had received a clean opinion on its 2015-16 audit, which is due to the state by the end of the year. Moss Adams has audited the Port three times since 2013-14, when the Port was late on submitting an audit after firing its former finance manager and expressing doubts over the accuracy of financial statements. which will unfold one section at a time, as decades’-old fix- tures gradually atrophy out of service. The marina has more than 350 slips and is home to scores of commercial boats, some stretching about 90 feet long. While the new dock is under construction, the biggest challenge, Sweet said, is fig- uring out where to temporar- ily relocate the boats that moor there. Some boats moved to the inner basin, some transferred to the Hammond Marina — Consult a Matyas said that while she appreciates Schuster taking responsibility for his actions, she also does not believe this is his first victim.

You can’t just park an 80-foot boat anywhere,” Sweet said with a laugh. Fortunately, most of the boat owners are excited about the dock overhaul and have gladly cooperated with the city, she said. “These guys deserve (a new dock), that’s for sure,” Sweet said. “They work hard.” NORTH BEND — Tucked away in a corner of Simpson Heights, right next to Ferry Road Park, sits one of the Oregon Coast’s architec- tural marvels. The structure, officially known as “Pleasant Point,” but colloquially referred to as simply “the boat house,” has hit the open market for the first time since it was built in 1979. “A lot of people think it used to be a boat,” said Shana Jo Armstrong, the real estate agent responsible for sell- ing the house. “It’s not. It was just constructed to look like a boat.” The 6,000-plus square foot house, listed for $899,000, has four large bedrooms, three bathrooms, three kitch- ens, three fire places, a fully functional bar and an indoor Jacuzzi encased in stained glass. The owner, 66-year-old Paris Fish, said the house is a relic of a bygone era. His mother, Jean Fish, designed the house while her friend, Broadway and Holly- wood actress Edna Skinner, purchased the property. “Edna’s father used to Observing Our Peninsula’s Past FREE! *while supplies last Are there products in your store that are not on your website?
