Fishery managers have attributed the low number of returning coho to poor ocean conditions last year. This year’s 18,900 coho quota is a signiﬁ cant reduction from the 150,800 ﬁ sh quota in 2015 and the lowest coho quota since 1998. The recre- ational Chinook catch quota this year is 35,000 ﬁ sh, down from 64,000 in 2015. Marine Area 1 is sched- uled to close Aug. 31 while marine areas 2 (Westport), 3 (La Push) and 4 (Neah Bay) are scheduled to close Aug. 21. Fisheries may close sooner than scheduled if the quota is EO Media Group ILWACO, Wash. — Anglers can reel in salmon off the Wash- ington coast beginning Fri- day , when the ocean sport ﬁ sh- ery gets underway daily in the Ilwaco, Westport, La Push and Neah Bay marine areas. This year’s sport ﬁ sh- ing opportunities are mostly focused on Chinook salmon, which are forecast to return at a rate slightly above the 10-year average, said Wendy Beeghley, an ocean salmon manager with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Anglers can ﬁ sh for Chinook in all four marine areas. “We expect a pretty good Chinook ﬁ shery in the ocean this summer,” Beeghley said. “However, we’ve put restric- New pub and dining spot to open downtown met. Throughout the summer, anglers can check the Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife’s webpage at wdfw.wa.gov for updates on the ocean ﬁ shery. In Ilwaco, anglers will have a daily limit of two salmon, only one of which can be a Chinook. Anglers ﬁ shing in Marine Area 2 can retain one salmon daily. In marine areas 3 and 4, anglers will have a two- salmon daily limit. Anglers will be required to release all coho salmon in marine areas 2, 3 and 4, but can keep hatchery coho in Marine Area 1. Additional information on ﬁ shing regulations can be found in Washington’s Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet, avail- able on ﬁ sh and wildlife’s web- site at wdfw.wa.gov/ﬁ shing/ regulations/. Restaurant was a wife’s dream By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Arts council joins national study ing out survey questionnaires to people attending arts and cultural events around Clatsop County. The form asks people to esti- mate the total amount of money they spend on the event, from admission to travel, refresh- ments and baby sitters. It also asks for basic demographic information including age, edu- The Daily Astorian The Arts Council of Clat- sop County is one of more than 300 organizations nationwide to participate in the Arts and Eco- nomic Prosperity study spon- sored by Americans for the Arts, a national nonproﬁ t advancing the arts and arts education.

Thomas and Elena Shern plan to open an all-day eatery, Capricorn Pub and Fine Dining, in the space next month. The couple has been quietly building out the restaurant since November, while working day jobs and raising their family. “It was my wife’s dream, really, to own a bar and a restau- rant,” said Thomas, who does home restorations and used to work in medical research. Elena left Romania for the United States at 21. The couple met in Niagara Falls, Canada, when Thomas was on a busi- ness trip. They have lived in San Francisco, Arizona and Wis- consin. They picked the North Coast off a map for its mild weather, relatively inexpensive living costs, family friendliness and forward-thinking culture. Elena described Capricorn, named for her astrological sign, as a manifestation of the home y environment she grew up around in Buzau in eastern Romania. “My grandfather was the guy where people would come by his house and have good food, Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian Tom and Elena Shern, owners of the new Capricorn Pub and Fine Dining, pose for a portrait with their kids Vanessa, left, and Gabby, right, on Monday , in their restaurant in downtown Astoria. homemade grappa,” she said. “I think living in that culture made me this way.” The Sherns have spent months refurbishing, hand-scraping the ﬂ oor, building a new bar topped by a counter made from an old-growth ﬁ r slice and installing new kitchen equipment. “Every inch of the build- ing has been cleaned, repaired and reﬁ nished,” Thomas said. “There really hasn’t been any- thing that was not broken, including the front door.” The two are planning to phase in their restaurant’s hours, eventu- ally opening for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a full bar. Thomas said the menu will include gour- met burgers, seafood and chicken, along with some Romanian inﬂ u- ences like cabbage rolls and Bal- kan chorba soups. Thomas said the couple envisions a place where friends can meet for breakfast or go out for the night in a casual environ- ment with good food. Down- stairs will be a lounge with couches, a television and lottery machines. “It’s going to be a place people will come and feel like home,” Elena said. Elena said the restaurant will also be a place for her older daughter Gabbi, 13, to experi- ence hostessing and saving up money. “Since I moved to Amer- ica, it’s one of those things where you feel like every- thing is possible,” Elena said. “I come from a country where we were under communism and Russia, and here, the sys- tem is easy, if you actually work.” Holly McHone Jewelers gets a makeover ALMANAC Shown is tomorrow's weather.
