5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2018 Bridge: Engineering crew conducting inspection cide from the bridge are a constant. On top of that, the 52-year-old bridge — closed to pedestrians — has also attracted photo-seekers and protesters. This past week- end, a man was taken from the bridge after walking up in fishing gear. “Yes, we do get some oddities,” Astoria Police Deputy Chief Eric Halver- son said. When maintenance or inspections are being per- formed on the bridge, local law enforcement agencies are typically notified, Halv- erson said. But, “the pub- lic may not have that knowl- edge. They just see someone in climbing gear.” While the heads-up can better inform some of the calls they get about the bridge, police still attempt to verify who is on the bridge and why, Halverson said. That tendency even applies when a caller reports that a climber is wearing construc- tion gear. “It’s a clue,” Halver- son said. “But anybody can go out and buy a safety and reflective vest and go out without permission.” Continued from Page 1A Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Fishermen offload the first batch of fish to be processed at the Pacific Seafood facility. Rising: Five years later, Pacific Seafood reopens with new plant Continued from Page 1A presentation, the fishing ves- sel Pacific Conquest made an inaugural offload of rockfish. The new plant, at 78,000 square feet and a cost of more than $20 million, is built to process whiting, groundfish, steelhead and Dungeness crab, with plans to add shrimp pro- cessing in the coming years. Seafood is offloaded from cranes along the banks of the Skipanon and flows inside the plant, where Pacific Seafood is installing 40 fillet stations, two skinning machines and a vac- uum packer. Behind the pro- cessing areas are industrial blast freezers and cold stor- age that cool product to any- where between 20 and minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit. “The product basically flows right from the dock to the cold storage,” said Aaron Dierks, a project manager for Pacific Seafood. The plant is expected to process up to 120,000 pounds of groundfish and 90,000 pounds of Dungeness crab per day, taking seafood from 70 boats. It will employ up to 140 full-time and 100 seasonal workers. The entire plant is tempera- ture-controlled, a first among West Coast facilities, Dulcich said. The main processing floor is designed so no forklifts will ever have to go inside, and the building’s wastewater treat- ment system will keep it ahead of the curve on permit require- ments. In addition, new pack- aging and freezing technology will help expand the reach of the company’s products. The plant is expected to start taking regular deliveries by October and be ready for Dungeness crab season in the winter. Pacific Seafood will start looking at a second phase of the plant in the coming years to add shrimp process- ing, Dulcich said. The com- pany has plans for four peel- ing machines producing up to 50,000 pounds of raw product per day. Warrenton Mayor Henry Balensifer called Pacific Sea- food a cornerstone of the city’s economy. He said a ban- ner hung outside the plant — emblazoned with “Warrenton Endures” — was particularly fitting given how the city has tried to diversify its economy to avoid fading away like other small towns when a mill or other large employer closes down. The company’s rebuild was lifted by $3 million in lot- tery-backed bonds approved by the state Legislature and supported by state Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, and state Rep. Deborah Boone, D-Cannon Beach. Johnson called the state investment a worthwhile public-private partnership that shows how important the seafood pro- cessing industry is to Oregon’s economy. “Think of all of the folks that are sustained by what happens here and will happen here at this remarkable plant,” Johnson said. “I say to Pacific Seafood, ‘welcome home.’” Donation: Brix has deep roots in industry Continued from Page 1A Jeff Smith, the museum’s curator, said a couple of peo- ple have already been hired to help digitize collections and make them available on WorldCat, a global network of library catalogs. The museum has three exhibits planned over the next several years with the help of Brix’s donation.

The third exhibit will become a permanent gallery dedicated to local indigenous peoples, with visiting exhibits about farther-flung native cul- tures and their maritime his- tory. The gallery will not open for at least six years, Smith said. Sam Johnson, the muse- um’s executive direc- tor, called Brix’s donation transformative. “This is almost like get- ting a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities,” he said. The museum recently received a $1 million endow- ment from longtime patrons David and Anne Myers. The interest supports museum operations in perpetuity. The museum recently pur- chased a lot near the Bar- bey Maritime Museum used by North Coast Auto Ser- vice. After the company’s lease runs out next year, the museum plans to demolish the building and install a pond for model sailboats in a park-like setting. Instead of heavier, more expensive mechanical access equipment that often requires traffic delays, the crew uses ropes to climb into other- wise inaccessible parts of the bridge. “They’re inspecting the bridge in places we can’t get to,” said Lou Torres, a spokesman for the Depart- ment of Transportation. “The Astoria-Megler Bridge is not a typical bridge by any means. To do the inspection requires special skills.” Burgess & Niple adopted the techniques more than 30 years ago and has used the process in more than 20,000 inspections. “It’s kind of our compet- itive advantage,” said Will Strehler, a Portland-based bridge engineer for the com- pany and part of the crew in Astoria. Recently, though, one man’s competitive advan- tage has been another’s con- fusion, causing some drivers to call police after seeing the rope-swinging engineers.

And I know her family, so I know that she is very close to them.” Miller has said he does not believe he has much of a chance of winning, but wants to use his campaign to call attention to issues such as mental health treatment and child welfare. Price, who is married to District Attorney Josh Mar- quis, was unopposed when she was elected to the City Council in 2014. Her elec- tion, along with Zetty Nem- lowill in Ward 1 and Arline LaMear as mayor, gave women a majority on the council for the first time in city history. LaMear decided not to run for another term as mayor. Nemlowill has not publicly said whether she will seek another term on the council. The filing deadline is Aug. 28. Continued from Page 1A Price’s four-year term on the City Council ends this year. After she announced she would run for mayor, two candidates stepped for- ward to replace her in down- town’s Ward 3. Joan Her- man, a radio programmer who serves on the Planning Commission, and Ron Zilli, a state forester, will vie for the seat in November. Price’s withdrawal poten- tially clears a path for Tay- lor, the owner of Old Town Framing Co. The two women had been allies on several issues, including the revival of the old Tourist No. 2 ferry, and their competition was already forcing many down- town advocates and business leaders into a difficult choice. “I’m kind of stunned,” Taylor said. “I know Michael Miller is running for mayor.
