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.”

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

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 first will

Columbia River, while the sec-
ond will focus on modern and
historical river commerce such
as the 40 percent of U.S. wheat
exports that exit the river.
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.

particularly to have Cindy
in the race. 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.
But I was excited to have
three people in the race, and
