Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2017 County commission meetings will air live on TV, website By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners meeting will be broadcast live Wednesday night. Charter Communications recently installed the infrastruc- ture for broadcasting, ending a six-year process. Viewers can access the meeting on public access channel 190 and on the county website. Commissioners approved a $90,000 contract in 2016 to upgrade audio and install video capabilities in the Judge Guy Boyington Building in Astoria, where commission- ers meet . Video cameras, a pro- jector and retractable screen, audio improvements and other upgrades had already been added to the building. Delayed video footage of meetings has Genna Martin/Seattle Post-Intelligencer Fire crews work to protect Multnomah Falls and the Multnomah Falls Lodge, which was built in 1925, from the Eagle Creek Fire in September. Multnomah Falls closed for the foreseeable future Columbia River Gorge in September. Experts say the falls and the old highway that leads up to it are highly danger- ous. And much of it has to do with moss. The moss has been burnt away by the ﬁ res — and that used to be the glue holding basalt cliffs together on these steep slopes. Rachel Pawlitz is with the U.S. Forest Service that man- ages the falls and the popular hiking areas around it. “One of the biggest risks to the visitors here is the combined effect of the moss Damage from massive ﬁ res By ANNA KING Northwest News Network Now that the fall rains have begun, the ﬁ re dan- ger at Multnomah Falls has declined. But Oregon’s pop- ular gem still won’t open anytime soon. The famous landmark sees more than 2 million visitors per year according to the U.S. Forest Service. But it’s been closed since the massive wildﬁ res hit the having burned off which was a glue holding it together, and the freezing and thaw- ing effect over the winter which will just create cracks in the rock,” Pawlitz said. “Those two things together will just cause rocks to peel off the side of the cliff and fall at intervals that we can’t predict.” Although cleared often, fresh rocks — some the size of basketballs — litter the old highway up to the falls. And Pawlitz said rocks could also fall on the viewing plat- forms and parts of the popu- lar lodge.

Washington state continues to have limited digs scheduled throughout the fall months. The next digging times on the Long Beach Peninsula are scheduled for the evenings of Nov. 3 and Nov. 4. Domoic acid has become a familiar reality on the West Coast in recent years, disrupt- ing both crabbing and razor clam digs at various times in Washington state, Oregon and California. In 2015, a massive toxic algal bloom shut shellﬁ sh ﬁ sheries in all three states, and Washington halted its Dunge- ness crab ﬁ shery.

The closure runs from the Coquille River’s north jetty, and the bay in Bandon, to the California border. It is an exten- sion of a closure announced last week that shut down crab- bing from Cape Blanco to the California border due to high levels of the naturally-occur- ring marine toxin domoic acid. The rest of the state, from the Bandon area north to the Columbia River, remains open for crab harvesting in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers and jetties. The recreational crabbing season in the ocean closed on the coast on Oct. 15. Fishery managers say crab and shellﬁ sh products for sale in markets and at restaurants are safe for consumers. Razor clamming remains open from the Columbia River to Cascade Head, just north of Lincoln City, but is closed from Cascade Head south to the California border due to high domoic acid levels.

We want to do it carefully,” he said. “We just need to be clear and consistent.” Commissioner Lianne Thompson has proposed allow- ing organizations such as the American Red Cross, Clat- sop Community College, Clat- sop County Public Health and a number of environmental orga- nizations to broadcast on the channel. “I want people to be able to see what’s going on,” Thomp- son said. “I want members of the community to have this tool.” While county staff tested the equipment last week, Moore still expects early glitches. “It will probably take a week or two before we have things running the way we want them to,” he said.

Charter originally planned to install the cable infrastruc- ture in December. But the com- pany was anticipating that the broadcasts would take place at the county’s nearby ofﬁ ce building on 800 Exchange St., which already has cable capa- bilities, Clatsop County Man- ager Cameron Moore said. Installation of other infrastruc- ture also added to the delay. County ofﬁ cials had already reached a franchise agreement with Charter in 2015 following several years of negotiations. Charter paid $39,000 to cover the cost of the channel as part of the agreement.
