What are your Labor Day weekend plans?
“We haven’t thought
about it yet. I do want
to go shopping to get
craft stuff for my step-
son, who’s 5. He likes
to paint. He’s getting
pretty good, too.”
“I’m going to
the beach. Not our
beach. To Florida,
and warm water. I’m
taking my daughter
for some girl time and
her senior year kickoff.”
“We’re going to
the rodeo in Pau-
lina, 60 miles east
of Prineville. Been
going over there for
about 40 years to get
away from that coastal mist.”

THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Health advisory issued for
Cannon Beach ocean waters
LOGS OUT
Higher levels of
bacteria found
in samples
By BRENNA VISSER
The Daily Astorian
CANNON BEACH — A
recreational use health advi-
sory was issued this morning
for higher-than-normal levels
of bacteria in ocean waters off
Cannon Beach.
Water samples show lev-
els of fecal bacteria at 262
mpn, or most probable num-
ber, a testing method used to
estimate the number of colony
forming units of bacteria. Any-
thing above 130 mpn is con-
sidered unsafe, according to
the Oregon Beach Monitoring
Program.
High readings in ocean
waters can come from sources
such as stormwater runoff,
sewer overflows, failing sep-
tic systems, and animal waste

Emergency personnel inspect the site of an accident near the Old Youngs Bay
Bridge on Tuesday where a log truck lost part of a load, causing some damage.
No injuries were reported.
Man rescued from Clatsop Spit
Two response boat crews
from Station Cape Disap-
pointment also arrived at the
scene to help as needed.
The man was reunited
with his family at Fort Ste-

ries were reported.

A man was rescued Tues-
day after being stranded on a
sand bar near Clatsop Spit.
The 18-year-old man

a release. “And while arts
activities are thriving across
the town they lack spaces to
be showcased.”
The program links art-

window displays. In the win-

“This was a great chance
for the Liberty to build aware-
ness for our new fundraising

release. “It’s awareness that
artists and nonprofits like us
would not otherwise afford.”

Gower Street outfalls. While
the city has seen high read-
ings on-and-off throughout the
summer at these outfalls, advi-
sories are only issued for con-
taminated marine waters.
City Manager Bruce St.
Denis said water samples have
shown a few high readings at
the outfalls after heavy rain,
but can’t confirm whether this
is a contributing factor to the
advisory in marine waters. The
city is unaware of any specific
events that would trigger the
reading, St. Denis said.

Health Authority. Officials
advise people to avoid con-

as nearby creeks and contam-

borne bacteria can cause diar-
rhea, stomach cramps, skin
rashes, upper respiratory infec-

The advisory comes weeks
after the city decided to rein-
state a water testing program
