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. Getty is a member of
