Crescent City's fishermen boated into tsunami as waves rolled in

Crescent City — When tsunami waves roll into Crescent City Harbor, the city's fishermen head out. The safety is in deeper water, explained fisherman Tim Potter, as he leaned against a railing overlooking the city's harbor late Wednesday morning. By then, it was clear the city had been largely spared from the waves that sprung from a 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia. State Sen. Mike McGuire declared the city 'dodged a bullet.' Businesses opened as normal. Potter's boat, Pacific Pride, sat safely in its slip. It had been a whirlwind of a Tuesday evening and early morning, but not exactly unexpected for a Crescent City fisherman. 'You think everything is going to be fine,' said Potter, 50, 'but you just never know.' In Crescent City, tsunamis have lore. There's a tsunami-themed bowling alley and a historic tsunami walking tour. At school Uncharted Shores Academy, it's not just regular fire drills, but tsunami drills — complete with blaring siren — every first Tuesday of the month during the school year. Ultimately, the city registered tsunami waves at 4 feet before dawn Wednesday. The coastal fishing town is known for being prone to the seismic events — dozens in the last century. The biggest hit came in 1964 then, again, in 2011 when a 9-magnitude earthquake in Japan caused tsunami waves in Crescent City that sank boats and flattened the old harbor. There have been numerous other could-be's and almost's over the years. 'That's just how it is,' said West Taylor, another fisherman. 'We're built like a funnel.' Just off the coast, an underwater ridge called the Mendocino Fracture Zone creates that 'funnel,' which pushes tsunamis into deeper water where they can pick up speed before reaching the city's shoreline. Around 11 p.m. Tuesday, Pacific Pride — carrying Potter and his 21-year-old son — was one of the dozens of boats that paraded out of the harbor ahead of sounding sirens warning of pending tsunami waves. The immediate surrounding areas were evacuated, including a nearby RV park. Out above 150 feet of water, Potter couldn't feel any of the seismic waves brewing below. For hours he watched his phone for weather alerts before deciding that storm surge had lulled enough that it was safe to head back to shore. He pulled in around 6:30 a.m., he said. Curious residents arrived at the city's harbor to see how it fared from the waves hours later. A few ignored city alerts against beach visits, as they walked dogs or picked up seashells. Margie Rouge, 75, looked out onto Crescent City Harbor in relief as she snapped photos with her phone. 'Last time, it was just total destruction,' she said of the 2011 tsunami that clobbered the docks. 'All the boats were smashed up.' She was glad to see the city's newer harbor was built to better withstand the waves. The upgrade made Crescent City the first 'tsunami resistant port' on the West Coast,' according to the harbor. Although harbor officials told the owners of the 100 boats normally docked there they should move them to deeper waters, a few dozen boats sat there at 11 the next morning. Some never left, while others rode out only a portion of the waves, similar to Potter. West Taylor watched a strong current form in the harbor's waters while standing near a friend's boat, Martha. He's been in the city for 47 years and a fisherman most of his life. 'The currents are more dangerous than anything else,' he said. 'You can't steer into that.' Taylor, who owns three fishing boats, opted to keep them docked in place rather than evacuate out to deeper water. He said he was watching the forecast closely, and the amount of storm surge anticipated wasn't enough to worry him. For those who did head out to deeper water, he said the risks could come from trying to head back to shore too soon. 'I saw five boats this morning that almost ate it,' he said. His boats were unharmed. Miss Sayoko sat in a nearby slip, bobbing slightly. Another was out fishing. He bought new ropes to tie the vessels in place. 'That's how I prepared,' he said, 'and my lines aren't even stretched.' City Manager Eric Wier in a briefing on Wednesday said the week's tsunami carried a similar potential for damage as the surge in 2011. Then, the tsunami peaked with 9-to-10 foot waves, but its impact was lessened because it arrived during a negative 1-foot tide, he said, while on Wednesday, the tsunami peaked at 4 feet during a high tide measured at about 4 feet. Both brought strong, swirling currents that sloshed 'like a bathtub' and caused damage, Wier said. Ultimately, the city's resistant dock absorbed the brunt of the surge in the early morning Wednesday. The harbormaster said he was still assessing damages, but the scene was nothing like 2011's mess. Meanwhile, city offices and the Historical Society Museum opened like usual. Inside, old newspaper clippings from the Humboldt Standard chronicled the city's clean-up efforts after the 1964 tsunami turned the beach and port to rubble. Five waves killed 11 people and destroyed 29 city blocks. Museum Volunteer Max Blaine said he wasn't surprised these tsunami waves were modest overall, as he was watching weather reports closely. But the day wasn't totally unhistoric, according to Blaine. Wednesday marked the 160th anniversary of when the S.S. Brother Jonathan sank just off the city's coast in 1865 — one of the deadliest ship wrecks ever on the West Coast.

Shots fired in Parkland Monday afternoon after deputies pursue man on foot

Shots were fired at a suspect in the 11200 block of C Street South in Parkland Monday afternoon, according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded at 4:21 p.m. to a report of a man who was allegedly involved in previous burglaries breaking and throwing objects, and then trying to light a building on fire, according to sheriff's office spokesperson Carly Cappetto. Deputies confronted him at the Pacific Pride gas station in the 110th block of Pacific Avenue South and pursued him on foot for a few blocks to the area of 112th Street South and C Street South, where deputies said shots were fired, Cappetto said. She said she believes deputies 'were OK' but didn't immediately have the status of the suspect when The News Tribune reached her shortly before 6 p.m., while she was driving to the scene. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office posted on X that the Pierce County Force Investigation Team will be in charge of the investigation. The post asks people to stay out of the area. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Canada rugby coach Steve Meehan names 59-player long list ahead of summer tests

Canada rugby coach Stephen Meehan has announced a long list of 59 players, including 20 who are uncapped, ahead of the team's summer test matches. The 24th-ranked Canadian men take on No. 22 Belgium on July 12 and No. 16 Spain on July 18 at Edmonton's Clarke Stadium. They then start Pacific Nations Cup play Aug. 22 in Calgary against the 15th-ranked U.S. before facing No. 13 Japan on Aug. 30 in Sendai. The Pacific Nations Cup playoffs start Sept. 14 in Denver, with the finals set for Sept. 20 in Salt Lake City. The six-team tournament, which also includes No. 9 Fiji, No. 14 Samoa and No. 19 Tonga, is Canada's first opportunity to qualify for the 2027 World Cup. The summer tests are the first for Meehan as Canada's coach. The 59-year-old Australian was named coach in December, succeeding former Wales captain Kingsley Jones, who stepped down after seven years at the helm. Rugby Canada said the long list was chosen after analyzing the 50-plus Canadians playing in the MLR and those overseas with Christiaan Esterhuizen, head coach of the Pacific Pride and Canadian men's under-20 team, and outgoing men's sevens coach Sean White. Several new Canadian-eligible players were identified in the process. 'The work that has been undertaken over the last few months to prepare for the 2025 season and develop this extended player list has been substantial and valuable,' Meehan said in a statement. 'The players identified in this list are those who will be considered for our matches this year, and we are looking forward to getting on the pitch in Edmonton in a few weeks to kick off our campaign to qualify for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.' Meehan, who officially started in April, has clearly looked long and hard for new talent. The 20 uncapped players include talent from Australia, England, Northern Ireland and the U.S. The uncapped group includes Jamie Armstrong, Kyle Tremblay, Morgan Di Nardo and Ethan Turner, who are capped in sevens but not 15s. There is also a return for Evan Olmstead, a 34-year-old forward who last played for Canada at the 2019 World Cup. A six-foot-five 247-pounder with a wild mane of hair, he was hard to miss. Olmstead is currently playing for SU Agen in France's second tier. Olmstead was born in Canada but moved to Australia when he was three. His father, John, elected to move the family Down Under to join a friend who had a startup company in Sydney. John Olmstead, who died in 2008 at 52, was once offered a contract by junior hockey's Edmonton Oil Kings and went on to become a rugby player of some renown himself. A past president of the Capilano Rugby Football Club in North Vancouver, he is honoured when the Capilanos play UBC in the annual John Olmstead Memorial Cup game. Evan's great-uncle is Hockey Hall of Famer Bert Olmstead, who played for Chicago, Montreal and Toronto from 1948 to 1962. Evan Olmstead, who has also played flanker, had interest from Australian age-grade selectors but played for Canada at the 2011 World Rugby Under-20 Trophy in Georgia. A trained accountant, he quit his job as a logistics analyst for a medical devices company in 2015 to focus on rugby. Caden Wilson, Jack Carson, Jack Reeves, Johnny Franklin and Josh Larsen declined invitations for a mix of personal reasons, ranging from family to work, according to Rugby Canada. Players can be added to the extended roster, which will be cut down in early July ahead of the Edmonton tests.

Canada men and women to share rugby 7s stage in California with plenty at stake

Canada's men and women will share the stage May 3-4 at Dignity Health Sports Park, the rugby sevens venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. But the two teams are facing different challenges in Carson, Calif. The Canadian women are looking to finish the season with a bang at the winner-take-all HSBC SVNS World Championship, which features the top eight men's and women's sides after six events on the elite rugby sevens circuit. Canada finished fourth in the standings following back-to-back third-place finishes in Hong Kong and Singapore Canada's men, meanwhile, are looking to win their way back into the top tier after being relegated last June. The Canadian women have been training with the 15s team in Chula Vista, Calif., ahead of the sevens finale. "We solidified our foundations and are very proud of our performances in Hong Kong and Singapore," Canada women's coach Jocelyn Barrieau said in a statement. "We have identified areas we want to improve on and the gaps we want to close going into Los Angeles. "We have a talented, passionate, resilient group of players, and we are all excited to get back on the pitch together in L.A." The roster includes eight players from the Hong Kong and Singapore squad. Charity Williams, Asia Hogan-Rochester and Alysha Corrigan return to the squad after last featuring in Vancouver in February. Like Williams, Savannah Bauder returns from injury. Larah Wright, who made her debut in Perth, gets another invite. 5 to join 15s side Following the California event, Corrigan, Hogan-Rochester, Florence Symonds, Mahalia Robinson and Olivia Apps will join the 15s side for the remaining matches of the Pacific Four Series in New Zealand and Australia. The Canadian men finished third in the second-tier Challenger Series, earning a berth in a promotion/relegation playoff that sees the top four teams from the Challenger Series and the bottom four sides from the HSBC SVNS battle it out for four spots in the top tier next season. The Canada men are coming off a third-place finish in the final Challenger Series event in Krakow, Poland. "We've had this tournament circled on our calendar all season," said Canada coach Sean White. "We've identified key areas of improvement coming out of Krakow and have made that our focus over the last couple of weeks of camp in Langford [B.C.]. "I believe our continuity in selection from Krakow to L.A. will be a benefit to our on-field performance and cohesion. Our aim is to finish the season as one of the top 12 teams, and we look forward to earning the opportunity to do so." The 12 players who represented Canada in Krakow are joined by Kal Sager, who returns to the squad following an injury. The Canadian women have been drawn in a pool with Japan, Britain and New Zealand. The men are in a pool with Uruguay, Ireland and Germany.
