Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2017 ‘What is a favorite fall activity?’ “Besides the typical hay rides, apple picking and pumpkin carving? Raking leaves and jumping in them.” Company behind farmed ﬁ sh escape to move more salmon SEATTLE — The com- pany whose collapsed net pens released thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon into Puget Sound is planning to stock another marine facility off Bainbridge Island with a million juvenile ﬁ sh despite a request from the governor not to do so. Gov. Jay Inslee had asked Cooke Aquaculture not to move ﬁ sh from its hatchery to other saltwater net pens until the investigation into the Aug. 19 salmon farm col- lapse at its Cypress Island facility was completed. Tens of thousands of the non-native ﬁ sh escaped into Puget Sound after those net pens failed, raising concerns about its impact on native salmon. Meanwhile, three state agencies are investi- gating what went wrong. That review is expected to be done in December. “This is disappointing and frustrating, coming on the heels of the August col- lapse of Cooke’s net pen near Cypress Island that held 305,000 ﬁ sh,” Inslee said in a statement Tuesday. Inslee’s chief of staff, David Postman, urged Cooke on Monday to halt the transfer of the million juve- nile ﬁ sh, noting that “the governor believes we do not yet have enough information about the safety of the exist- ing pens.” “To be fair to Washing- ton tribes, to protect our environment and to take a stand to show Washing- tonians that Cooke Aqua- culture is taking seriously questions about safety of net pens, I want to urge you to halt the transfer of those ﬁ sh,” Postman wrote to the company’s lawyer. THURSDAY A lawyer for the Cana- da-based company responded that Cooke needed to get the young salmon into saltwa- ter pens soon — or they may have to be destroyed — and noted that it has been work- ing with state agencies to ensure that the ﬁ sh are free of disease and the pens at the Clam Bay facility are secure. Cooke said the Clam Bay net pens are entirely differ- ent from the Cypress Island pens and recent inspections conﬁ rm they do not pose a risk of the Cypress Island incident occurring. Cooke spokeswoman Nell Halse said in an email Tues- day that transporting ﬁ sh into grow-out pens typically only requires assurances that the young ﬁ sh are healthy. But given the problems at the Cypress Island facility, the company has worked with state ofﬁ cials to inspect the Clam Bay facility.

Soon after Brad Johnston’s sudden retirement as police chief in early August, an inde- pendent assessment found that Rusiecki — in an attempt to correct communication issues between staff and manage- ment — had for months been asking the former chief to cre- ate the o perations s upervisor position. Rusiecki has said com- munication with dispatchers would beneﬁ t if he could have time to perform external duties such as managing direction of cellular trafﬁ c and coordi- nating with the public safety agencies that utilize the center, rather than completely over- seeing day-to-day operations. the delisting Tuesday night. The commissioners said the marker, which was installed in Vancouver in 1939, failed meet established standards for a community heritage site. Commissioner Alex Gall said the marker also lost its historic integrity when it was moved from its original spot to its current home on private property along Inter- state 5 near Ridgefield. The marker and a simi- lar piece of granite originally installed in Blaine, near the Canadian border, now are part of Jefferson Davis Park which also includes Confederate ﬂ ags. The voting followed almost 90 minutes of public testi- mony, with comments in sup- port and against the heritage register designation.
