The company was ﬁ ned $60,000 last month for meal, rest period and overtime violations. Da Yang was also ﬁ ned $85,319 in 2015 by the state Department of Environmen- tal Quality for discharging wastewater from Pier 2 into the Columbia River between 2008 and 2015 without a fed- eral permit. Chris Connaway, presi- dent of the local International Longshore and Warehouse Union chapter, said Da Yang, shipping in temporary workers to process seafood, violates the mission of the Port to provide family wage jobs. He said the Port should look into whether Da Yang violated their lease. “They call them sweat- shops overseas,” Gary Ziak from Knappa said. “Every- body laughs about it. Here it’s going on in our backyard and on my property and all your property. We own this property, and those people shouldn’t be allowed to oper- ate on our ground like that.” Ziak said that although the Port can’t do anything about people’s wages, the agency could jack up Da Yang’s rent. “This illegal work prac- tice, i t’s not just something you look at and say, ‘Oh, I guess they got ﬁ ned,’” Com- missioner Bill Hunsinger said. “This is wrong. This is in the Port of Astoria for Christ sakes. This is a public port that taxpayers own. Is there going to be any letters sent? Is there going to be anything done by the Port of Astoria?” Commissioner John Raichl said the Port should see if it can look at the results of the state investigations into Da Yang. Commissioner Stephen Fulton said the Port should have staff review Da Yang’s lease. “I would not be opposed to asking Da Yang to come in front of this commission and explain what they were doing down there,” Fulton said.

Former Cla tsop County Presiding Judge Guy Boying- ton, when he found out Brown- hill was moving away, tear- fully handed him a $100 bill and said, “Please take this,” Paula Brownhill said. Prior to his 1981 retirement, Brownhill negotiated business deals between the U.S., Japan and other countries. Besides his regular work, Brownhill served as president of the bar associations in Clat- sop and Lane counties and the Oregon District Attorneys Association. His post retire- ment interests included short story and screenplay writing as well as acting. Brownhill is survived by — among others — his wife, Jean, and daughters Ellen and Paula. His sister, Ann Austin, died 30 days ahead of him. The family will hold a private burial at the Milo Gard Ceme- tery north of Madras.
