Cutter Fir changes command
Brownsmead man arrested
on drug, sex abuse charges
Haag is new
commander
Cmdr. Kristen Serumgard
on Friday passed command
of the U.S. Coast Guard c utter
Fir to Lt. Cmdr. Jason Haag.
The Fir, known as The Bar
Tender, maintains 117 buoys
and other aids to navigation
in the Columbia River and
along the coastline of Ore-
gon and Washington state.
The ship also helps maintain
several weather buoys for the
National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Administration, along
with enforcing fi sheries and
boating safety laws, respond-
ing to oil spills, waterway
security and searches and res-
cues. The cutter is based at the
Aids to Navigation Team on
North Tongue Point.
Serumgard, the sixth com-
mander of Fir since its com-
missioning in 2003 and a Vir-
ginia native, took over in 2014
from Lt. Cmdr. Jon Kreischer.

A Brownsmead man was
arrested Friday on sex abuse
and drug charges.
Clatsop County Sheriff’s
Offi ce deputies arrested Greg
Howard Smith, 50, after a
16-year-old boy being treated
at a hospital early Thurs-
day morning reported Smith
drugged and sexually abused
him.
Smith allegedly gave the
boy alcohol and marijuana,
though further tests revealed
he had ingested other drugs.

to command the International
Ice Patrol, which monitors the
presence of icebergs in the
Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
She is married to retired Coast
Guardsman Andrew Smith.
Serumgard thanked her
commanders and crew for the
support. “It doesn’t get all the
press that drug-busting does,
but at the end of the day, when
we sail away from an aid and
know that it will guide mari-
ners to safe harbor, you feel
pretty good about your work,”
she said.
Haag, a native of Elmira,
comes to Fir from the Offi ce
of Resources, Organizational
Analysis and Workforce
Management at Coast Guard
headquarters in Washington,
D.C. He oversaw a $120 mil-
lion budget to support senior
staff services and government
fi nance contracts.
Haag said that from what
he’s heard, Serumgard loved
being commander of Fir and
its crew. “Thank you for trust-
ing me with the next watch,”
he said.
