Newport had some excitement in August when a commercial fishing vessel became stranded on the beach. The Newport Police Volunteers were asked to help with traffic control in the Nye Beach area (which is one of our busiest spots during the tourist season). It was the first time we had been called on to help with something other than parades and festivals and it was pretty exciting for all of us. We were there from August 11th until it was successfully pulled off the beach on August 13th. Luckily, the story had a happy ending and everyone was safe, including boat.
