Investigators preserved pieces of net in mussels for evidence, The Times reported. “It’s possible these animals played a significant role in the failure of net pen #2,” Dennis Clark, assistant division manager for the state Depart- ment of Natural Resources wrote investigators on Sept. 10, reviewing photos of heavy mussel growth on the nets. Cooke’s vice president of communication, Joel Rich- ardson, declined to comment on the nets or maintenance issues at Cypress Island. “We are cooperating fully with the regulatory agencies as their investigation is underway,” Richardson wrote in an email to The Times. “As such, it would not be appropriate for me to provide comments.” Employees confirmed to investigators that two of three machines used to clean nets were being repaired, reducing the ability to keep up with the net fouling issue. 0 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Probe of farmed salmon collapse focuses on nets SEATTLE (AP) — State investigators are examining nets heavily covered with mussels and other sea life as a cause in the collapse of net pens at a salmon farm last summer that released thousands of non-native fish into the Salish Sea. Photos obtained by The Seattle Times show portions of nets at Cooke Aquaculture’s operation off Cypress Island so covered with mussel and other growth that the net was no longer visible. The photos show heaps of mussels on the dock when the nets were lifted with a crane to be disposed. KUOW has also reported on the investigation. Cooke is required under terms of its state lease to keep it farms in a clean and safe condition. Nets that accumulate too many organisms or material such as mussels, kelp or algae can cause drag and change the way the nets behave underwater in tidal currents. It can also block mesh openings and impede flow of water through a net-pen.

Hanson was visiting the resort from California. A storm moving through the Cascades is expected to contin- ue to dump considerable amounts of snow in the higher elevations. An immigration forum next week will focus on educating people on all sides — everyone from recent immigrants wanting to know their rights to longtime residents who want to gain a better understanding of what immigrants face to reach legal status. “The whole aim is to build bridges between communities,” said Jesse Roa, one of the event’s organizers. “There are some cultural gaps. We need to eliminate some of the fear and misunderstanding going on, and show people that there’s solidarity.” Roa said speakers at the event would present in both English and Spanish, and would cover issues related to immigration reform, filing for legal immigrant status, and resources for community members. “We want to give people a basic understanding,” he said. “Immi- gration and filing for legal status is not just like going to the DMV and getting your driver’s license. The process takes years.” People from local and regional groups will be present, including the Walla Walla and Tri-Cities Immigration Coalitions, Oregon Rural Action, and Consejo Latino. Eammon Roach, a Pasco immigra- tion attorney, will be the special guest speaker. Roa said he hoped people would take advantage of the resources in the area. “This area seems to feel isolated from everyone,” he said. “We’re not in Washington, we’re far from the west side of the state. So we want to bridge those gaps.” The event will take place on Saturday, Feb. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m., and will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, at 665 E. Gladys Ave., Hermiston. Dinner will be catered by Ruty’s Restaurant. Contact Roa for more details, at 509-378-4181, or at jesse_roa@ yahoo.com.
