This is a snapshot of the inspections conducted by the Marion and Polk County
health departments.
Twice annually, licensed restaurants receive unannounced inspections that focus
on food temperatures, food preparation practices, worker hygiene, dish-washing
and sanitizing, and equipment and facility cleanliness.
Violations: Restaurant scores are based on a 100-point scale. Priority violations
deduct 5 points, and priority foundation violations deduct 3 points. Violations
recorded on consecutive inspections result in point deductions being doubled.
Scoring: Scores of 70 or higher are considered compliant. Restaurants scoring
below 70 must be re-inspected within 30 days or face closure or other
administrative action. Restaurants display a placard by the entrance to indicate
whether they have passed their last inspection.

No measuring gauge, no bucket; just
the nylon mesh clam bags, and by now a
75-yard walk back to the vehicle while
holding it by the pinchers to see if
there’s something in the car to put it in.
Can’t think of anything.
Back it went. See you next time.
About another 10 minutes and a cou-
ple of cockles in that *$%#&@ mesh bag
and what do you know? Another crab. A
monster. A male. Back in the bay.
Sniffle, snorf.
I promised myself that I wasn’t going
to cry.
So when I saw a couple more crabs, I
didn’t even check them out.
In the interests of full disclosure, it
was one of the best disappointing trips

we’ve ever had.
Both Kay and I scored limits of cock-
les, many of them large.
But still (pun alert) it was nothing to
crab about.
Sorry.
Next time, remember Seneca … and
Henry.
Late-breaking update: Phil, a long-
time fishing and mushrooming buddy,
said that his dad stalked crabs in his
waders in Oregon bays for years with
good success.
Thanks for sharing.
Better late than never.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: The
best time to go fishing is yesterday, ac-
cording to all the anglers who I’ve talked
to.

Yep, it’s a keeper that didn’t, ahem, keep. Hoping for a rematch next minus tide

lots of rock dodging, the river splits
again just above John Neal Park. At an
island, go right down a fun set of waves,
pass by a boat ramp, and then stay pret-
ty far left down John Neil Rapids, the
last challenging moment of the trip.
Below, keep an eye out for the Little
North Santiam flowing in on the right,
and around a bend, you’ll see Mehama
Bridge and the boat ramp on river left.
The North Santiam from Fishermen’s
Bend to Mehama is fun, scenic and of-
fers a lot — as long as you have a good
boat and understand how to read and
run rapids.
Indian Rapids and DeWitt Falls
After a mellow stretch of river, and an
area where you’ll need to avoid rocks,
you reach North Santiam State Recrea-

Adventure
The most challenging section of the
run comes downstream of the islands.
The river moves away from Highway 22
into a narrower, canyon-ish landscape,
and begins a set of rapids known as Up-
per, Middle and Lower Indian rapids,
followed by DeWitt Falls.
The upper and middle rapids are
straightforward waves — pretty simple
— but things get a bit more tricky. At
Lower Indian Rapids, you’ll see a spine
of rocks in the middle of the river and it’s
not super clear where to go. Stay right of
the rocks to avoid trouble, and then
slowly make your way across the
stream, to a center-left positioning to
set up for DeWitt Falls, the biggest wave
on this run.
DeWitt isn’t a real waterfall by any
stretch of the imagination. The river is
funneled into a big drop on the left side
with two waves ideal to splash everyone
in the boat. It’s the most thrilling part of
the journey and just below, the river
mellows into a pretty little canyon
where we like to jump off the boat and
float in our life jackets on hot days.

North Santiam: Fishermen’s Bend

tion Site.
There’s a wonderful grassy spot and
swimming hole on the right, which is
great for lunch and swimming.
The river isn’t super challenging be-
low North Santiam, but there are a few
islands and channels where you’ll want
to choose correctly.
Just below the lunch spot, the river
splits again. I stay on river-right, drop-
ping down rapids (and passing the state
park boat ramp), that swing down be-
low a beautiful forested cliff. Below that,
the river splits again at Guide’s Island,
where the best route is to stay left, down
a very pretty and long tunnel of small
rapids, before the river comes together
again.
In the next stretch the river widens,
and if you’re in a raft during late July
and August, you’ll spend a lot of time
avoiding boulders. It’s not super dan-
gerous, just annoying to get stuck in for
a minute.
The end
The run finishes with a flourish. After
In a nutshell: Fun and sometimes
mildly challenging rapids for a raft or
kayak trip.
