Fresh steelhead season coming up We expect to begin receiving fresh whole-bodied steelhead in Siletz from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Siletz River fish trap sometime in late June and continuing into the summer. Distribution will take place with Natural Resources staff at the east side of the old USDA building. We only get a couple hours notice that we will receive fish on any particular day, so if you want to receive a phone call or an email to say that we are expecting fish that day, please contact Natural Resources Manager Mike Ken- nedy at 541-444-8232 or Natural Resources Administrative Assistant Rosie Williams at 541-444-8227 to get on our notification list. Please note that we will not accept notes to pick up fish for some- one else. Instead, we will allow each household that shows up to pick up 1-3 fish, depending on the number of fish we get that day. We encourage folks to share their fish with other family members and neighbors. Gordon(Ab)LynnWilliams–1957-2015 Gordon graduated from Siletz High School and attended Linn-Benton Com- munity College, where he studied auto body repair. He was a “jack of all trades,” rebuilding car engines and remodeling homes. He helped build the first Siletz Tribal homes and worked for the City of Salem on streets and roads. In his spare time, Gordon enjoyed fishing and hunting. “Chief of Chiefs” Gordon (Ab) Lynn Williams, 57, of Siletz, Ore., passed away at the Evergreen Hospice House in Albany, Ore., on April 24, 2015. He was born in Toledo, Ore., on Nov. 29, 1957, to Eugene and Carol (Quenelle) Williams. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17 and received commenda- tion for his expert marksmanship. He was the high shooter from his series, scoring 232 out of a possible 250 points at the rifle range. Gordon was a devoted family man. He is survived by his life-partner, Cindy Belgarde; his mother, Carol Williams; his children, whom he loved with all his heart – daughters Gayle Williams-York of Kentucky and Letitia Williams of Illinois; and sons Nick Williams of Sheridan, Ore., Tyler and Lil Ab Williams-Belgarde of Depoe Bay, Ore., and Elijah Williams of Corvallis, Ore.; his siblings – Eugene (Debbie) Williams Jr., Nora (Randy) Williams-Wood, Melody (Daryle) Williams, Charmaine (Mark) Hammett, Scotty Williams, Christine Goodell and Bucky Williams. Gordon was the grand- father of four grandchildren and uncle to many nieces and nephews. His father and brother, Stacey W. Williams, preceded Gordon in death. A memorial service was held May 2 at the Siletz Tribal Community Center. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Gordon’s name to the Mario Pastega House, 3505 NW Samaritan Drive, Corvallis, OR, 97330. Affordable Burial & Cremation handled arrangements. Rest in Peace, “Chief of Chiefs.” Love, the Hammetts To friends and family: We would like to thank everyone who came to visit with Ab. We know he appre- ciated seeing family and friends, reminiscing about the good ole days. We would also like to thank everyone who volunteered their time with all the preparations at the Tribal community center for Ab’s memorial service and dinner. We know every- one worked really hard.
