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.

Smith.
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.”

Steve Forrester, who retired in
2016 after 28 years as editor and
publisher of The Daily Astorian,
was honored Sunday by U.S. Sen
Ron Wyden for his impact on the
freedom of the press.
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.
In 1978, he took over the bureau

CORRECTION
Charge clarified — Chris-
topher Jeremy Costa was orig-
inally charged with first-de-
gree manslaughter after a fatal
drunken-driving crash in June
2017. Costa pleaded guilty to
second-degree manslaughter.
A 1A story Friday incorrectly
said Costa was originally
charged with second-degree
manslaughter.
Name incorrect — Dick
Winters was the name of the
World War II Normandy inva-
sion hero who many people
think inspired the name “Nor-
man de Winter” used by a D.B.
Cooper suspect. A 1A story
Thursday on D.B. Cooper
misspelled the name as Dick
Winter.
