5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Port, boat owner spar over unpaid moorage Tomingas may owe $10,000 By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Port of Astoria is headed to arbitration with a charter boat owner the agency is suing for unpaid moorage. The Port in August sued Henry Tomingas, owner of the passen- ger ship Wilderness Explorer, for $10,000 in overdue moorage. Tom- ingas is listed as the owner of Ocean Adventures, an inactive Alaskan company that charter s vessels. The Port claims Tomingas agreed to pay $936 a month in moorage in November 2015 ; but since Septem- ber 2016 has refused to pay $10,000 worth of moorage fees. The agency is seeking $10,000 in economic damages, attorney fees and pre and post-judgment interest. Tomingas, who lives in Gird- wood, Alaska, responded this week, arguing the Wilderness Explorer was on a bareboat charter with Califor- nia-based education and science non- profi t Mountain and Sea. A bareboat charter is an arrangement in which the lessee is responsible for a vessel’s crew and provisions. Tomingas claims the nonprofi t was responsible for all costs associ- ated with the vessel. He also blamed the run-down conditions at North Tongue Point for damage to the Wil- derness Explorer. “The Port of Astoria is negligent in providing substandard wharfage with damaged and broken off pil- ing with no warning posted,” Tomin- gas wrote. “The defendant’s boat was damaged by broken piling and iron rods exposed.” A judge has assigned the case to arbitration. Marina: ‘We’re responsible for seven boats that aren’t ours’ down and down.” Continued from Page 1A Revenue loss But the Oregon State Marine Board says more and more of that money is going toward the cleanup of former commercial vessels instead — everything from tugs to salmon trollers. Bigger and heavier, these boats are much more expensive to deal with. “When we look at the state fund, we spend a dispropor- tionate amount of money on removing former commercial vessels,” said Rachel Graham, the marine board’s interim director. “It’s an equity issue.” But for public marinas and ports, derelict commercial boats are the problem at hand. Boat dreams The Abandoned/Dere- lict Commercial Vessel Task Force, a shifting group that includes representatives from ports, public marinas, sheriff’s offi ces, state agencies and sal- vage companies, was created early last year to try to answer questions and gather informa- tion around the issues of com- mercial boats that have been dropped at ports and mari- nas or left in state waterways. They hope to release a paper with their fi ndings by the end of the year. Even getting a good sense Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian A damaged boat sits idle in the Warrenton Marina on Tuesday as the marina attempts to contact owners about removing their property from the facility. of how many commercial ves- sels are in the state was chal- lenging, said Graham. No one agency interacts with or records all commercial ves- sels. But the big hurdle still in their way is the question of money. The state’s derelict boat fund provides $150,000 per biennium for the removal of abandoned or derelict boats up to 200 gross pounds or, to use a different measurement, up to about 100 feet in length. “If we were just focus- ing on recreational boats our $150,000 would probably be suffi cient for what we get, but when we agree to participate in assisting in removing com- mercial boats, we deplete our fund pretty quickly,” Graham said. Last biennium, the state agreed to put funds toward removing three commercial vessels. A federal grant and a boost from the Oregon Depart- ment of State Lands offset some of the cost, but “with three boats we almost used all SCHOOLS SEEK CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES LOS DISTRITOS ESCOLARES BUSCAN IDENTIFICAR A LOS NIÑOS CON DISCAPACIDADES QUE NO SE ENCUENTREN RECIBIENDO SERVICIOS Local school districts and the Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) seek assistance in locating children from birth through age 21 with disabilities who have not graduated from high school and are not attending nor receiving other special-education services from public schools. Oregon and federal law mandate appropriate educational services for children with disabilities. NWRESD provides educational services for eligible children from birth to kindergarten. Local school districts provide educational programs and services for eligible children from kindergarten through high school. These services are provided as appropriate to each child’s needs and disability. Parents, guardians, and others who know of a child aged 5 through 21 with a disability who is not currently receiving educational services are asked to notify the special-education contact for their home district, including: DISTRICT Astoria Jewell Knappa Seaside Warrenton-Hammond Distrito de Servicio Educativo de la Región Noroeste (NWRESD) y los distritos escolares del Condado de Clatsop desean ayudar a ubicar a niños con disca- pacidades (reción nacidos hasta la edad de 21 años) que no say hayan grad- uado de la enseñanza preparatoria (educación media superior) y que actual- mente no se encuentren recibiendo otros servicios de educación especial en las escuelas publicas. El Ley de Oregon y la Ley Federal ordenan que se provea servicios educativos apropiados para niños con discapacidades. El NWRESD proporciona servicios educativos desde el nacimiento hasta el kindergarten para los niños que sean elegibles. Los distritos educativos locales proven programas educativos y servicios para los niños elegibles desde el Kindergarten hasta la Enseñanza Media Superior (Preparatoria). Estos servicios son proporcionados de acuerdo con las necesidades de cada niño y su discapacidad.

SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A of our money,” Graham said. For salvage companies, it’s diffi cult to build a good business plan around remov- ing derelict boats in Ore- gon. The work they do for the state or ports and marinas are “one off” jobs and the costs to boat owners are steep. So the dilemma remains: “How do you make owners pay to recy- cle their boats?” Graham said. “The easier option for many is to sell it to someone else who has boat dreams … and it just keeps getting passed This year, for the fi rst time in 12 years, all the vessels at the Warrenton Marina’s com- mercial docks are working boats. “Every single one of them,” said Harbormaster Jane Sweet. “That in itself is a huge achievement. … and I want to keep it that way.” The seven derelict boats on her list right now have been moved elsewhere in the marina to open up space. Such boats represent a loss of revenue in more ways than one. They camp in slips a working boat, with own- ers who pay moorage fees and looks after their prop- erty, could occupy. With- out an active owner attached, marina staff take on a babysit- ting role. They check the boats after storms hit the area. Many of the vessels require pumps running day and night to keep them afl oat, another task and cost that fall on the shoulders of marina staff. When Western Skies sank at the docks in July and began leaking fuel, the incident con- sumed Sweet’s time. She and her staff had to act quickly to keep a bad situation from growing worse, coordinate with the U.S. Coast Guard, fi gure out how to contain the leaks, get the boat fl oating again and keep it afl oat. When power went out for nearly half an hour during a weekend storm this month, staff raced to the marina keep an eye on Western Skies and the other abandoned boats. Warrenton faces a growing demand for slips and Sweet is increasing efforts to deal with problem boats. To stem the fl ow of abandoned vessels into the marina, she now requires people to provide proof of insurance and current docu- mentation and registration. Marina staff are being pro- active about the seizure pro- cess. But only one owner of a derelict boat in recent years has cleared his account with the marina. Warrenton’s sei- zure notices went out as cer- tifi ed mail. Most came back unaccepted. If no owners step up before the deadlines in the seizure process run out, the marina could sell the vessels for parts. It’s possible some money from the marine board could also come Warr enton’s way. Sweet isn’t sure yet what they’ll do. For now, and perhaps for the foreseeable future, she said, “We’re responsible for seven boats that aren’t ours.” Evening listings THURSDAY O CTOBER 26 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Jeopardy!
