Festival: North Coast Scene is ‘very eclectic’ Closure: About 80
percent of the closures
are in smaller towns
Continued from Page 1A
Co-founder and “Field Hopera-
tive” Jeremy Tofte high-fived cus-
tomers and donned an animal cos-
tume — moose? bear? donkey?
— while beeristas offered tastings
of Melvin’s 2X4 Double IPA, win-
ner of “a bunch of gold medals all
over the world,” according to Tofte,
a Portland State University grad
who described Jackson Hole’s brew
scene as “burgeoning.” Tofte is on
the fast track for celebrity — he’s
profiled in this week’s issue of the
national Men’s Journal magazine.
‘A destination’
So what is it that brings all these
superstars from far and wide to
Seaside?
“The coast is a destination and
the people who live here, we’re
superentrenched in our communi-
ties,” Seaside Brewing Co. owner
and festival founder Jimmy Griffin
said. “We’re here to stay and we just
pour ourselves into these beers.”
Will Leroux of Public Coast
Brewing, the newest entry to the
beer scene in Cannon Beach, poured
a tangerine IPA and a blonde ale.
“I was a chef for about 30
years,” Leroux said. “I’ve been
brewing for about 1 1/2 years and
everybody has welcomed me with
open arms. It’s a brotherhood, not a
competition.”
Is there a particular North Coast
brewing style?
“As a region, people sense we
really care about what we’re doing
and the quality of these beers,”
Griffin said. “You’ve got to be a
weird duck to live on the north Ore-
gon Coast. It’s not a normal thing.
So we’re not normal brewers. And
we make beers that aren’t normal
either. People are really drawn to
that.
“I think the North Coast scene is
exploding because it’s unique,” he
added. “It’s got its own flavor. It’s
very eclectic.”

Harvests: Regulations still not identical to Washington’s
Continued from Page 1A
The discrepancies prompted
Gov. Kate Brown to demand
that commission members
bring Oregon’s rules into align-
ment with those in Washington
by early April.
Under the new rules adopted
by the commission Friday at a
meeting in Corvallis, gillnets
will no longer be permitted to
harvest summer Chinook.
However, the regulations
still are not identical to Wash-
ington’s, as gillnets will be
allowed in upstream zones of
the Columbia River to harvest
fall Chinook.
Tangle nets — an alterna-
tive gear that’s considered less
indiscriminate — will be per-
mitted for spring Chinook in
Oregon, but not in Washington.
Commercial
fishermen
will also be allocated 30 per-
cent of the fall Chinook pop-
ulation that can be harvested
under the Endangered Species
Act, compared to 25 percent in
Washington.
Even so, the Oregon com-
mercial fleet’s share of fall Chi-
nook was reduced from 34 per-
cent under the previous rules.
‘The bottom line’
Holly Akenson, a wild-
life biologist and commis-
sion member, voted for the
new rules despite saying she
felt uncomfortable with the
change.
“If Washington can’t meet
us here, I’m not interested in
any additional negotiations,”
she said. “For me, this is the
bottom line.”
Steve Fick, owner of Fish-
hawk Fisheries and a board
member of Salmon for All,
said he was disappointed. He
added that while gillnetters can
harvest some fish, “they won’t
let you have a net to do it. So if
you have a spear, or a bow and
arrow, or a hook and line in the
main stem …
“So that essentially makes
it very, very challenging for us
to come up with something that
can get any kind of a consumer
share.”
“We did not have a fishery
for 50 years for recreational or
commercial. And we had —
with environmental groups and
recreational interests — we had
fought to recover those runs to
harvest full numbers. It’s really
disappointing that the recre-
ational sector has pushed for-
ward where they get essen-
tially all the fish. So that’s
disappointing.”
Commercial
fishermen
argued that gillnets are neces-
sary to maintain economically
viable yields, but sport fisher-
men and conservationists want
to replace them with more
selective methods.
Commercial fishermen said
the commission had made the
right choice in January and
should not be forced to change
the regulations.
“I hope you stick to your
guns,” Mike Wullger, a com-
mercial fisherman from Asto-
ria, had urged commissioners
before the vote.
This sentiment was echoed
by fisherman Jim Coleman,
who said he bristled at the per-
sonal attacks on commission
members after their January
decision.
“I don’t know what legal
authority the governor has
to force you to change your
vote, but I know morally she
shouldn’t,” Coleman said.
The lopsided portion of har-
vestable fish allocated to sport
fishermen — 70 to 80 percent,
depending on season — was
also a complaint among com-
mercial fishermen.
Scott Winterbauer said
that until commercial fishing
offered him a new career path,
he was a “failed photographer
with no prospects” who lived
with his mother.
“Don’t take food out of my
family’s mouth for the sake of a
hobby,” he said.
Salmon for All, an associ-
ation representing gillnetters,
fish buyers and associated busi-
nesses, emphasized the down-
stream economic impacts of
the commercial industry.
“Tourism does not provide
family wage jobs,” said Barbra
Wells, a member of the group.
‘Not a hobby’
Sport fishermen and fishing
guides objected to these char-
acterizations, arguing the eco-
nomic impacts of recreational
fishing outweigh those of com-
mercial gillnetting.
“I can tell you, it’s not a
hobby,” said Tim Schoonover,
who owns a fishing supplies
company.
Fishing guides also support
their families and small coastal
towns, said Bob Rees, execu-
tive director of NW Steelhead-
ers, a fishing advocacy group.
“We are a community that
feels slighted,” he said. “We
too live in rural communities.”
Sports fishermen disputed
a common refrain of the com-
mercial fleet — “a dead fish is
a dead fish,” meaning that any
method of harvest takes a toll
on the population.
Fish caught with a hook and
line can be released if they’re
from a wild, federally protected
population, said Dave Schamp,
president of the Coastal Con-
servation Association. Hatch-
ery fish are marked with a
clipped fin.
“In the case of a gillnet, it’s
going to kill them all,” he said.
Officials from the state
Department of Fish and Wild-
life clarified that roughly 40 to
60 percent of the fish caught
in gillnets die, compared to
about 10 to 20 percent with
sport-fishing equipment.
“All gears can be used to
catch and release fish,” said
Curt Melcher, the agency’s
director.
Members of the sport fish-
ing community said the com-
mission’s earlier rules departed
from the trajectory set by for-
mer Gov. John Kitzhaber in
2012.
That year, Kitzhaber struck
a bi-state deal with Washing-
ton to conserve fish, effectively
forestalling a ballot initiative
aimed at banning gillnets.
Gillnets aren’t compati-
ble with the type of long-term
management that ensures sta-
ble populations instead of a
“whipsaw” between abun-
dance and depletion, said
Guido Rahr, president of the
Wild Salmon Center, an envi-
ronmental nonprofit.
“The chance is to usher in a
new generation,” he said.
Sport fishermen don’t want
to eliminate commercial fish-
ing as a career and have each
been paying a $10 fee into
a fund that helps transition
toward alternative gear, said
John Hass of the Coastal Con-
servation Association.
“The future is clearly not
gillnetting,” he said.
Different standard
While Oregon has agreed
to align most of its regula-
tions with those in Washington,
some commissioners pointed
out that they’re held to a differ-
ent standard than regulators in
that state.
Under Oregon law, the com-
mission must ensure the eco-
nomic viability of the commer-
cial fleet, said Michael Finley,
the commission’s chairman.
“Washington doesn’t have
this statute,” he said.
In light of the discord
with Washington regulations,
though, “our hands are tied in
Oregon, and we can’t do what
we want for commercial fisher-
men,” said Akenson.
The Capital Bureau is a col-
laboration between EO Media
Group and Pamplin Media
Group.
Lauren Harms, a shop-
per at J.C. Penney’s since
1984, said she ran into mul-
tiple people Saturday who
said they don’t have comput-
ers or cars, and thus depend
on local downtown retailers
like J.C. Penney’s. Harms said
she is worried about the fate of
the building, which was con-
structed in 1924 for the retailer
and later designated a historic
landmark by the city, and for
the employees, who she added
weren’t notified about the clo-
sure until Wednesday.
Bill Garvin of Chinook,
Washington, said his family
ran across a letter from the
1920s or 1930s from company
founder James Cash Penney,
who was interested in buy-
ing some cows from his uncle
Al Gile, a dairy farmer in the
area.
“He was interested in the
dairy cattle, and he was going
to tie it into a meeting to come
out and see the new store,”
Garvin said.
Refocusing
The company expects the
store closures to affect about
5,000 employees nationwide
— 13 in Astoria — and has

people to stop, she said, but
about addressing the back-
ground issues such as a youth’s
connection to school, parental
supports, poverty and commu-
nity enforcement of laws.
“If we improve quality of
life, we’re going to reduce
substance abuse,” she said.
“We’re also going to reduce
mental health issues,” teen
delinquency and other issues.
More specifically, she said,
the grant will support Preven-
tion Works’ existing efforts
such as an underage drinking
task force, along with a new
youth coalition to provide
teens stronger representation.
Castaneda said her role is
more of a facilitator for the
county’s various services and
grassroots groups. “My vision
for this job is to have a com-
munity feeling confident
about advocating for them-
selves,” she said.
‘Make an impact’
A southern Oregon native
and graduate of Oregon State
University with a bachelor’s
in English, Castaneda moved
to the North Coast about six
years ago when her husband
became a physical therapist

offered about 6,000 eligible
employees an early retirement
option.
“By coordinating the tim-
ing of these two events,
we can expect to see a net
increase in hiring as the num-
ber of full-time associates
expected to take advantage of
the early retirement incentive
will far exceed the number of
full-time positions affected
by the store closures,” Mar-
vin R. Ellison, chairman and
chief executive officer of J.C.
Penney, said in a release last
month.
Ellison had previously said
the store’s footprint was too
large. He said the stores that
focus on beauty, home refresh
and special sizes generated
significantly higher sales for
J.C. Penney and will drive
the continued relevance of the
company’s brick-and-mortar
portfolio.
The closures will bring
J.C. Penney’s down to about
900 locations. Daphne Avila,
a spokeswoman for J.C. Pen-
ney, said the 138 stores being
closed accounted for about
5 percent of the company’s
annual sales. About 80 percent
of the closures are in smaller
communities and in less pop-
ulated areas, she said.
at Columbia Memorial Hos-
pital. She started her preven-
tion work with the county’s
juvenile department, facilitat-
ing women’s groups around
healthy relationships. She
volunteered with the county’s
victims assistance program,
and later worked in the Dis-
trict Attorney’s Office.
Until recently, she was the
youth coordinator for Well-
spring, which she said is now
in the eighth year of its Drug-
Free Communities grant.
“It’s exciting to see how
communities can rally around
an issue and make an impact,”
she said.
The grant helped Pacific
County significantly reduce
underage drinking, while
expanding mental health and
other services in schools.
Castaneda said the posi-
tion in Astoria felt like com-
ing come, and that she hopes
to recreate some of the suc-
cesses of Pacific County
on the southern side of the
Columbia River. For those
wanting to get more involved,
she said, North Coast Pre-
vention Works meets 3:30 to
5 p.m. the third Thursday of
each month at Warrenton City
Hall.
