Machinists W24 nets cash for Guide Dogs The second annual Salmon Fish- ing Derby sponsored by Machinists District W24 raised $12,500 for Guide Dogs of America (GDA). The International Association of Machinists founded GDA in 1948 in Sylmar, California, to train and pro- vide guide dogs to the blind, free of charge. The organization receives no government funding. “We depend solely on fundraising events like this, voluntary donations and bequests,” said Guide Dogs direc- tor and derby participant Dale Hart- ford, noting that to breed, raise and train one guide dog costs $38,000. So to help with the cause, 20 pro- fessionally-guided fishing boats, each with four-person teams, dropped lines in the Columbia River at the crack of dawn April 7, starting and finishing on the dock of the Red Lion Hotel on the River-Jantzen Beach. The winning catch was a 23.5 pound salmon reeled in by Lauren Wills. Second place went to Shaughn Scott of Scott Wealth Management Group for a fish weighing 15.13 pounds. They both received gift cards donated by Dick’s Sporting Goods. A new category this year was a sturgeon derby (for most total inches of sturgeon reeled in, catch and re- lease). Winners were Jack Brock with 159.2 inches and Clint Getty with 149.1 inches.

The fundraiser is sponsored by Machinists District W24. Breunig coordinates the event. Waiting to reach the scale is Lauren Wills (center with fish). Her 23.5 pound catch was good for first place. Wills’ fishing partners, Bruce Spalding and Mike Rose, are standing in the background to her left. Their guide was Erik Lindy. Weighing the fish is guide Tom Brenton. The derby raised $12,500 for Guide Dogs of America. the Machinists Union. Brock is the son of Matt Brock, one of five former NFL players who fished in the derby. The others were Stan Brock (no rela- tion to Matt), Willie Brock (Stan’s brother), Josh Wilcox, and Tim Guy. In two years the fishing derby has collected $24,000 for Guide Dogs.
