plaque from bar pilots
The Daily Astorian
On Nov. 29, in a ceremony
at the Tongue Point Job Corps
Center (TPJCC), the Colum-
bia River Bar Pilots honored
the center’s Seamanship Pro-
gram with a plaque of appre-
ciation. Columbia River Bar
Pilot Capt. Kurt Nehring pre-
sented Capt. Len Tumbarello,
Seamanship Program direc-
tor, with the plaque in honor of
their partnership in the Relief
Deckhand Program.
During the presentation,
Capt. Tumbarello shared a
brief history of the Columbia
River Bar Pilots. He also cov-
ered the history of the Relief
Deckhand Program, which
was started in 2006 by David
Fastabend, boat operator for
the bar pilots, and Chief Mate
Gunnar Allen, TPJCC Sea-
manship Program instructor.
The program was created to
address the operational needs of
the bar pilots’ fleet, and to teach
and train the top students in the
Seamanship Program. Over the
past 11 years the program has
successfully trained 24 students.
“Our seamanship program
is so fortunate to have one of
the premier maritime entities
in the world in our own
back yard to partnership
with,” Capt. Tumbarello said.
“Our quality cadets help them
perform their vitally import-
ant mission, and the Colum-
bia River Bar Pilots’ training
and guidance give the students
deserving enough (an opportu-
nity) to work with some of the
finest mariners anywhere.”

ON HER WAY.
THANKS
TO PEOPLE
LIKE YOU.
Meet Macey. When she was 5,
her parents got the call no
family expects. Brain cancer.
The news could have been
devastating, but they knew
she had an amazing team
behind her. And after nine
hours of surgery at OHSU
Doernbecher Children’s
Hospital, there was hope.
Macey at Doernbecher.
Today, she’s a thriving
9-year-old. Your generosity
makes all the difference.
At Doernbecher, the leading edge is everywhere,
thanks to generosity from people like you. For Macey,
that meant two of the country’s best pediatric brain
surgeons. For kids across the Northwest, it means new
discoveries, breakthrough treatments and more smiles.
Please make a gift today. So that whenever the call
comes, Doernbecher’s lifesaving care will be there.
