SEASIDE — For nearly 20
years, the Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife
has been closely monitoring
the survival and downstream
migration of salmon in
coastal river basins. As the
assistant project leader of
the Salmonid Life Cycle
Monitoring Project, Derek
Wiley has spent the past
decade researching salmon
and steelhead and making
estimates about their abun-
dance and survival rates on
the northern Oregon coast,
often taking his GoPro cam-
era into the field with him
to capture fish behavior and
spawning.
On Wednesday, Feb. 15,
join Wiley at the Seaside
Public Library for the sec-
ond of this year’s free Lis-
tening to the Land presen-
tations focused on wildlife,
“Life in the River.”
Wiley will provide
a screening of his films
documenting the freshwater
life of native salmon in the
region. “Journey’s End” is
an 18-minute video captur-
ing underwater behavior
and spawning of wild chum
salmon, Chinook salmon,
coho salmon, and Pacific
lamprey in several rivers on
the North Oregon Coast.
Wiley will also share

footage documenting Salmo-
nid Life Cycle Monitoring
Project activities on the
North Fork Nehalem River
from fall 2015 and give an
update on recent results.
As a research biologist
with ODFW, Wiley supervis-
es a field crew responsible
for monitoring adult and
juvenile salmonids in the
North Fork Nehalem River
for the Salmonid Life Cycle
Monitoring Project. He
earned a bachelor’s degree in
biology from Towson State
University and a master’s de-
gree in fisheries and wildlife
from Frostburg State Uni-
versity, both in Maryland.
In 2004 he moved to John
Day to work for ODFW on
a steelhead research project.
Two years later he moved to
Tillamook to take his current
position. Wiley is an avid fly
fisherman, photographer and
videographer.
Listening to the Land is a
monthly winter speaker se-
ries offered January through
May and presented by North
Coast Land Conservancy
and the Necanicum Water-
shed Council in partnership
with the Seaside library.
On the Rocks to perform in Clatskanie
CLATAKANIE — As part of
its 28th Performing Arts
Series, the Clatskanie Arts
Commission will present
the University of Oregon’s
male a cappella group On
the Rocks in concert at
7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10
at Clatskanie’s Birkenfeld
Theatre, located at 75 S.
Nehalem St.
On The Rocks was
founded in 1999 by Leo
DaSilva and Peter Hollens
when they attended the
University of Oregon. The
group established itself
through five albums, a viral
video of Lady Gaga’s “Bad
Romance,” and appearances
on NBC’s “The Sing Off.”
Now they are a new
group of 12 living up to their
past of fame and notoriety.
You may ask, “Why don’t
you sing Lady Gaga?” or
“Where are the guys from
the ‘Sing Off’?”
Those singers have grad-
uated — but talent never
graduates. Talent built this
group from a time before the
boom of reality TV shows
and viral videos. Know this:
Every time On the Rocks
performs, the group steps on
stage with the vigor of every
man who has ever sung in
On the Rocks.
Tickets cost $18 for
adults, $16 for seniors and
$14 for children age 12 and
under. Tickets are available
at Hump’s Restaurant in
Clatskanie, by calling Elsa
at 503-728-3403 and at
the ticket booth that opens
at 7 p.m. the night of the
performance. Only cash or
check will be accepted. The
theater holds 165 audience
members, so be sure you get
your tickets soon.
Also, mark your calendar
for Feb. 24, for the resched-
uled performance of South
American group Condor.
