2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JULY 2, 2018 Razor clam digging reopens Wyden honors retired publisher Forrester led The along the Oregon Coast Daily Astorian The Daily Astorian Razor clams are back on the menu after levels of a harmful marine toxin fell and portions of the Oregon Coast reopened to diggers. Razor clamming is open from the Columbia River to Cape Perpetua and from the Umpqua River’s south jetty to Cape Arago, state officials announced Friday. Closures remain in place from Cape Perpetua to the north jetty of the Umpqua River and from Cape Arago to the Cal- ifornia border. These closures include all beaches and bays. The state had previously closed portions of the Ore- gon Coast near Lincoln City to Winchester Bay and south of Charleston to the Califor- nia border as levels of domoic acid, a naturally occurring toxin, rose to unsafe levels. Clatsop County’s beaches have not had to close yet this season. In Washington state, where the razor clamming season closed in late April, domoic acid levels remained well below the thresh- old throughout the season, according to reports available from the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife. Domoic acid has become a regular issue for coastal fish- eries, impacting recreational razor clam harvests and com- mercial Dungeness crab sea- sons. The toxin cannot be cooked out of razor clam meat and can cause serious illness or even death if con- sumed at high enough doses.

Two years later, Forrester met Wyden, then in his early 30s and running for the state’s 3rd Con- gressional District. Thanking Wyden for the award, Forrester remarked on how he could tell early on the candidate was a win- ner. After serving in the House, Wyden was elected to the Sen- ate in 1996. Wyden credited Forrester with dedication to producing quality news and investing in the community through projects such as the restoration of the Liberty Theatre downtown. He presented Forrester a transcript of the June 20 Congressional Record, when he read a tribute to the newspaperman. “I know Steve would much rather shine the spotlight on oth- ers, but the bottom line is I want Oregon to recognize his enor- mous and long-lasting contribu- tions to making our state a better place to live and to making all of us as Oregonians better-informed citizens,” the tribute said. Today, Wyden is in Eugene for his 900th town hall, part of a promise since being elected to the Senate to visit each county, each year. He will march in a Fourth of July parade Wednesday in Ash- land and meet with religious leaders Thursday in Eugene to discuss freedom of religion. “In much of the world, peo- ple can’t freely assemble, speak, write or practice their reli- gion,” Wyden said in a news release about his tour. “It’s more important than ever as we in the United States celebrate our nation’s birthdate to celebrate all those freedoms and to defend them from assaults with all our might.” alcohol content was 0.08 percent. • At 5:54 p.m. Saturday, Keith Wayne Gilman, 47, of Hillsboro, was arrested by Warrenton police on the 1670 block of Peter Iredale Road and charged with DUII, reck- less driving and five counts of reckless endangerment. • At 1:50 a.m. Saturday, Leanne Jean Hensley, 34, of Astoria, was arrested by Astoria police on the 2200 block of Marine Drive and charged with DUII, reckless driving and refusing a breath test.

On break from Congress, Wyden has been on a First Amendment-themed tour of Oregon highlighting freedoms of speech, religion, press and assem- bly. He met with refugees Friday in Portland and blocked out time Sunday to visit Forrester’s home in Astoria. The Oregon Democrat pre- sented Forrester with an inau- gural Go Fourth Award, a nod to the role of the press as the Fourth Estate watchdog of government. “Steve has always said that this process — asking the import- ant questions, being involved in the community — that what mat- tered most was local government, local journalism, community journalism,” Wyden said while giving Forrester the award. Forrester is president and CEO of EO Media Group, the owner of The Daily Astorian and the Chinook Observer and several other newspapers. He worked for the Sellwood Bee after graduating from Port- land State University and later co-founded Willamette Week.
