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.”

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 —

Now you can’t get
upright. The pain is
horrible. First, put ice on the
back for 15 minutes; repeat
hourly — NO heat! Reduce
inflammation with ice. After
that, the fastest way to get back
on your feet is with chiropractic
care. Manipulation and therapies
(ultrasound, laser EMS) speed
up healing and reduce swelling.
The next time your back is
aching call 503-325-3311.

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.

Salmon, as well as trout and
salamanders, can cause a fatal
parasite in dogs if eaten raw. However,
when cooked, it is very beneficial to
canine health. Salmon’s Omega fatty
acids improve brain health, boast the
immune system and reduce joint pain.
Dogs can also benefit from cooked
tuna, which is high in minerals and B
vitamins. We offer hand formed pet
patties made from fresh cooked (never
canned) salmon or tuna. The dog recipe
adds potatoes,veggies,cheese, rice and
blueberries. The cat recipe has veggies,
eggs,cheese and rice. Put some in your
pet’s stocking. They go wild over it.
