FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The dock has become a draw, with tens of thousands of residents and tourists visiting Agate Beach since it washed up early last week. The parks department counted 11,000 cars in the parking lot over the first several days after the dock washed up.
“I think they should just pull it farther up on the beach and make a memorial out of it, myself,” said Judy Kuhl, general manager of the Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn, where guests staying on some top floors can see the barge from their balconies. “It would bring people here. It’s also something for us to remember. It’s part of history.”
The department was opening bids on Wednesday on proposals to either dismantle the dock and haul it off to a landfill, or tow it off the beach and take it to a port where it could be put back to use as a dock. A decision is due in a few days. Preliminary cost estimates appeared to favour dismantling the dock.
Recalling that the stern of the 639-foot freighter New Carissa remained on a beach near Coos Bay, Oregon, for nearly a decade before it was finally removed in 2008, the World newspaper in Coos Bay wrote an editorial suggesting that the state shouldn’t be in such a hurry to remove the dock, and might consider leaving it permanently.
“So why not let people enjoy it for a while, or even permanently?” the newspaper wrote. “It could become a magnet for Japanese tourists.”
Parks department spokesman Havel said something might be worked out where pieces of the dock could be given to local artists to create a memorial, but it would have to be off the beach.
He added that if they could have managed it back in 1906, they would have removed the wreckage of the ship Peter Iredale, whose iron skeleton is a tourist draw at Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, Oregon.
Meanwhile, more debris, apparently from the 2011 tsunami in Japan has been hitting beaches on the northern Oregon Coast ahead of the projected winter arrival time. Havel said a float and a plastic bin with Japanese writing were found at Sunset Beach south of Astoria.
The state is preparing a plan for dealing with expected increase in beach trash as a result of the tsunami.
