For the Keizertimes
Salem-Keizer lost to Ev-
erett 8-5 Saturday for its fi rst
loss in the home series after
two wins.
After the AquaSox scored
the fi rst run of the game in the
second inning, the Volcanoes
scored twice in the bottom of
the second but lost the lead for
good after Everett’s four run
rally in the fourth.
There were two home runs
in the game, both by Everett.
Nick Thurman’s two-out shot
over the right fi eld fence in
the second off Volcano starter
Raffi Vizcaino provided the
fi rst run.
In the Volcano second, John
Riley led off with a walk,
Ryan Kirby singled to left
center fi eld, and Kevin Rivera
bunted a single to load the
bases. Chase Compton was
hit by a pitch from AquaSox
starter Jake Brentz, forcing
Riley home. Manuel Geraldo
scored Kirby with a sacrifi ce
fl y to right.
Thurman started Everett’s
fourth-inning rally with a
one-out walk. Jason Goldstein
singled to right, and Dimas
Ojeda loaded the bases with
an infi eld hit. A wild pitch
by Vizcaino scored Thurman.
Bryson Brigman drove Gold-
stein home with a single to
right. Donnie Walton walked,
and the bases were loaded
again. A grounder by Eric Filia
forced Walton out but scored
Ojeda. Brigman scored on a
wild pitch.
The Volcanoes responded
with two runs in the fourth.
Rivera singled to right, stole
second base, and scored as
Compton singled to right. El-
liot Surrey relieved Brentz and
sent Compton to second with
a wild pitch. On a three-and-
two count, Gio Brusa doubled
to right, scoring Rivera and
Compton.
At the start of the fi fth,
Rayan Hernandez relieved
Vizcaino, who became the
losing pitcher with an 0-3
record. Hernandez gave up
singles to Nick Zammarelli
and Jhombeyker Morales but
struck out Thurman and got
Goldstein to hit into a dou-
ble play, pitcher to shortstop
Manuel Geraldo to fi rst base-
man Kirby.
In the top of the sixth, Oje-
da led off with the AquaSox’s
second home run, clearing
the right fi eld wall. Brigman
singled to center, stole sec-
ond, and scored on Walton’s
double down the right fi eld
line. Walton went to third on
a passed ball and scored on a
wild pitch.
Salem-Keizer scored the
last run of the game in the
sixth. Julio Pena doubled to
left, and Compton drove him
in with a double to right.
The Volcanoes did not stop
fi ghting. Pena hit a one-out
triple to right in the eighth.
Thomas Burrows, a lefthand-
er, relieved Covelle. The left-
handed hitting Compton had
had two hits, but manager Kyle
Haines played the percentages
and had Ryan Howard pinch
hit. However, Howard truck
out looking, with the third-
strike call drawing boos from
the crowd. Geraldo grounded
out to end the inning.
Howard stayed in the game
at shortstop, with Geraldo
moving to third. Jeff Burke
pitched the ninth and set Ev-
erett down in order with two
strikeouts. Hernandez, despite
allowing three runs on six hits
in his four innings, left the
game with a 1.71 earned run
average.
Brusa led off the Volcano
ninth with a single to left, and
Heath Quinn followed with
another single to left. Burrows

struck out Bryan Reynolds,
but Riley hit an infi eld single
to load the bases. However,
Burrows struck out Kirby and
Rivera and had his second
save.
“Those two big innings got
us,” Haines said. “We’ve got to
fi nd a way to limit the dam-
age.”
Rivera, who had played
solidly at bat and in the fi eld,
said, “Tomorrow we’ll get
ahead and win the series.”
Burke, who with CJ Gett-
man has shared the ninth-
inning role since Cesar Yanez
was promoted to Augusta,
said of his 1-2-3 inning that it
seemed to happen because he
just “felt good.”
“My fastball worked well,
and Riley called the pitches
well,” he observed.
WILSON,

keep it small. They have tiny
mouths. Some days they will
hit a small brass swivel and
hook, or a colorful bead.
We are prepared with
multiple color combinations:
Chartreuse/gold, chartreuse/
silver, red/silver.
Arndt also stresses the im-
portance of different colors,
“If I don’t get a hit in 15 min-
utes, I change colors.”
We begin our day, each
fi shing a different color. Fish-
ing is slow. We keep changing
colors.
Our neighbors to the left
are fi shing for salmon. A rod
goes down and a 7-foot white
sturgeon cartwheels out of the
water and takes them for a run
downriver, before they can
catch up and release her.
Shad come in schools and
move upriver in fi sh traveling
lanes.
Success depends on an-
choring in one of those lanes.
We see a few shad hooked
further out from shore. We
move and immediately get
hook-ups.
Fishing is still slow. Koske-
la’s goal of 100 begins to fade.
Four young Vietnamese
guys from Seattle anchor be-
side us. They had fi shed this
spot yesterday. They are very
friendly. “Very slow yesterday
until two o’clock,” one offers.
“We caught 50 after that. We
like the roe.”
As the day progresses it be-
comes obvious we are in the
best lane. Hookups continue
to be sporadic until around
1:30. We have a double, then
another double. Things can
become pretty wild with three
lines, two hot fi sh in heavy
current, and light gear. At one
point Koskela scoops up two
fi sh--at one time--with the
landing net.
Our neighbors sit watching
us with “angler envy” as they
hook the occasional stray fi sh.
Varner and I continue to
hook fi sh while Koskela fi res
up the grill and serves hot
pulled pork sandwiches. The
upriver breezes soon share the
sweet aroma of herbs and spic-
es with our neighbors.
Koskela does a quick count.
Thirty-fi ve. Two-thirty p.m.
and we probably have two
hours of traffi c to deal with
due to the Portland Rose Fes-
tival.
When we pull anchor, the
young guys next to us pull
anchor to quickly move into
our spot. “We take your spot.
You guys go.” They offer with
a laugh, “She can stay.”
We have had a fun day, in
a magnifi cent setting. We start
thinking, next trip? Need at
least 70 more shad.
ABOUT SHAD
American Shad from the
east coast were introduced
into the Sacramento River in
the late 1800s. They expanded
into the Columbia River and
by 2005, a record six million
shad came into the Columbia
River.
They are the largest of
the herring family. Average
size shad are 12-25 inches in
length and 2.5 to 5 pounds
The American shad is a
highly anadromous species
that returns to its freshwater
(natal) areas to spawn. Males
and females may return to
spawn more than once, and
females can produce 30,000 to
60,000 eggs.
Juveniles migrate down-
river with most reaching the
ocean before winter.
Shad normally spend 3-4
years at sea before returning
to spawn.
Shad fi shing can be great
fun for the family. Lots of fi sh
means plenty of action.
Shad come up the Mult-
nomah Channel into the Wil-
lamette River. Since they do
not traverse the fi sh ladder at
Willamette Falls, they concen-
trate in the Oregon City area,
providing a lengthy fi shing
opportunity.
Best bank access is in the
Clackamett Park area and
Meldrum Bar at the mouth of
the Clackamas River.
Bank anglers have good
success on the Columbia at
Tanner Creek, off I-84, and
below the fi sh ladder at Bonn-
eville Dam.
Anglers in the know plan
on shad runs being in full
swing for Father’s Day. Good
fi shing
should
continue
through Mid-July. Some years
over a million stream over
Bonneville Dam.
WARNING
Anchoring in the Colum-
bia below Bonneville can be
dangerous. Powerful current
and wind combinations can
become deadly. Do not at-
tempt anchoring in the area
without an experienced per-
son on board.
SWIM,
7-8 back and breaststroke, re-
spectively.
On the strength of its boys,
Holiday defeated Jan Ree
326-244 last Thursday in Sa-
lem.
Kameron Splonski set a
new club record of 34.75 sec-
onds in the 9-10 breaststroke
and also won the free and
backstroke. He then jumped
up to help Hunter Williams,
Jack McCarty and Tony Gon-
zales win both the 13-14 free
and medley relays. Williams
took fi rst in the 15-18 free
and backstroke.
Individually, Gonzales won
the 13-14 fl y and free while
McCarty had the fastest time
in the breaststroke.
Vinny Arnold and Jared
Toland won the 7-8 free and
backstroke, respectively. The
two also won the free relay
with Noah Williams and Lin-
coln Hollis and the medley
relay with Williams and Brody
Hollis.
James Toland took fi rst in
the 11-12 free and breast-
stroke. Carter Hollis won
the IM and fl y while Jackson
Colyer touched the wall fi rst
in the backstroke. All three
boys joined Xavier Grantham
to win the free relay and Evan
Anderson to place fi rst in the
medley relay.
Alex Willcoxen set a new
Holiday club record in the
9-10 girls fl y, fi nishing in 18.4
seconds.
Kyra Norstrom won the
back and free and Erika Robi-
nett had the fastest time in the
breaststroke. Willcoxen and
Robinett also swam on the
winning free and medley relay
teams with Emma Anderson
and Maya Privratsky.
Cassidy Kerner won the
7-8 fl y, free and breaststroke.
Twins Bella and Alex Beard
helped Holiday dominate the
13-14 division.
Bella had the fastest times
in the 13-14 IM and breast-
stroke while Alex won the
backstroke.
Jayla
Toland
touched the wall fi rst in the
fl y and free. The three joined
Kylie McCarty to win both
the free and medley relays.
McCarty also had the fastest
times in the 15-18 fl y, free and
breaststroke.
Although she has been an
avid angler for years, she has
never fi shed for shad.
Koskela’s goal for the trip
is 100 shad. Last time we had
Ken Zandol, of Keizer, with
us. We boated 107.
You can get a good idea for
planning your trip by watch-
ing the shad count over Bonn-
eville Dam.
Numbers have been fl uc-
tuating over the week, mostly
17,000-40,000 a day. A couple
of days came close to 100,000.
We launch Koskela’s 20-
foot Alumaweld at fi rst light.
On our way upriver we pass
hoglines of boats anchored
fi shing for spring chinook.
We join a couple dozen
boats at the popular Shad
Rack. (Fitting name for a shad
fi shery.) Looks like about half
of them are fi shing for salmon.
Koskela likes to fi sh near
the Washington shore in 8-10
foot water.

Anna Kosiewicz also had a
big day in the pool with the
fastest time in the 15-18 free
and swimming on the win-
ning medley relay with Abby
Reedy, Emma Garland and
Bailey White as well as the free
relay with Garland, White and
Kat Kosiewicz.
Individually,
Reedy
touched the wall fi rst in the
13-14 backstroke.
Allyson Matthews, Anna
Sponable, Kristine Thomas
and Kianna Staley won the
11-12 free relay.
Madelyn Sponable and
Josie Wampler took fi rst in the
