The waiver includes all fishing, crabbing and clam- ming across the state. Some crabbing restric- tions are in place due to ele- vated levels of the marine toxin domoic acid and ocean crabbing is closed. Recre- ational crabbing is open in bays and estuaries, docks, piers and on beaches from Coos Bay’s north jetty to The Daily Astorian A steelhead salmon leaps out of the water after being hooked by Tim Trainor during a fishing trip on the North Fork Nehalem River in 2016.

The department stocked lakes and reservoirs across Oregon with trout at the begin- ning of the month. Some western Oregon lakes were restocked the week of Thanksgiving, includ- ing Progress Lake in Tigard, Waverly Lake in Albany, Far- aday Lake in Estacada, Walter Wirth Lake and Walling Pond in Salem, and Alton Baker Canal in Springfield, among others. Winter steelhead also become available at this time, with Thanksgiving typically marking the beginning of the season on the coast. Prefer a hike? The Ore- gon Parks and Recreation Department is waiving day- use parking fees in 26 of the state’s parks the day after Thanksgiving. “We started this tradition three years ago to encour- age people to opt outside,” said Director Lisa Sumption in a statement. “Why not get some fresh air with your fam- ily and create a new holiday tradition?” The nonprofit Oregon State Parks Foundation is celebrat- ing by offering free hot drinks and snacks at a number of state parks including at Fort Stevens State Park outside Hammond. The refreshments will be served by volunteers from local friends groups. Fort Ste- vens requires a parking fee at its Coffenbury Lake site, where there is a boat launch, picnic areas and a hiking trail around the dune lake.

Visitors would be charged $70 per vehicle, up from the current $30 fee, during the five busiest months of the year. At others, the hike is from $25 to $70. The comment period had been scheduled to end today. The new deadline is Dec. 22. The Park Service said it wanted to accommodate inter- est from Congress and the public. More than 65,000 comments already have been submitted.

Four in 10 don’t feel strongly either way. Democrats are slightly more likely than Republicans to say they’re uneasy about political discussions at the table, 39 percent to 33 per- cent. And women are more likely than men to say they dread the thought of talking politics, 41 percent to 31 percent. Those who do think AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump pardons Drumstick during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardoning Cere- mony in the Rose Gar- den of the White House in Washington on Tuesday. there’s at least some possibil- ity of politics coming up are somewhat more likely to feel optimistic about it than Amer- icans as a whole. Among this group, 30 percent say they’d be eager to talk politics and 34 percent would dread it. The debate over whether to talk politics at Thanksgiv- ing is about as American as the traditional feast itself. By Christmas 2016, 39 percent of U.S. adults said their fam- ilies avoided conversations about politics, according to the Pew Research Center. Debate over standards But Americans are still trying to figure out how to talk about the subject in the age of Trump and amid the sexual misconduct allega- tions that have ignited a new debate over standards for conduct between men and women. The conversation, some analysts and respon- dents say, touches on iden- tity among people who group themselves by other factors, such as family, friendship or geography. Ten months into Trump’s difficult presidency, he remains a historically unpop- ular president and a deeply polarizing force in the United States. His drives to crack down on immigration in the name of national security and the economy cut right to the question of who is an Ameri- can. And his defense on Tues- day of Republican U.S. Sen- ate candidate Roy Moore, the former Alabama judge accused by six women of pursuing romantic relation- ships with them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s, comes amid a wider deluge of sexual misconduct scandals. For any mention of Moore, who denies the accu- sations against him, there’s Franken of Minnesota, who has apologized or said he feels bad about the allegations against him.

WASHINGTON — Pass the turkey — but maybe hold the politics. The already- fraught topic now includes allegations of sexual mis- conduct against politicians of various political stripes. From GOP President Donald Trump to Demo- cratic Sen. Al Franken, politi- cians past, present and aspir- ing stand accused of sexual misconduct and that could keep tensions high at the hol- iday table. More than a third of Americans dread the pros- pect of politics coming up over Thanksgiving, a new poll shows. Glenn Rogers, a Republi- can from Los Angeles, says he asks people around the table to talk about things to celebrate from the past year. Not everyone, he knows, will be toasting the Trump presidency. “For the most part, we get to the point where we know that we’re not going to agree with each other and it gets dropped,” says the 67-year- old manufacturing consul- tant, who says he voted less for Trump than against Dem- ocrat Hillary Clinton. With a cascade of sex- ual misconduct scandals now echoing similar allega- tions against Trump during the campaign, tempers on the subject of Trump may not have cooled, says Rog- ers. “When you start talking about it now, there’s still some, I think, real animosity when you start talking about character.” Evening listings THURSDAY N OVEMBER 23 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 Wheel Fortune (N) Saves the World "Pilot" KATU Special "Kids Doing Good Stuff" Jeopardy!
