Coast Guard teaches boating safety Oct. 28 ILWACO, WASH. — Most boat- ing experiences are positive, the stuff memories are made of. But the most joyful times can quickly turn deadly if boaters are not vigilant about safety at all times. As a boat operator or passenger, you can become educated on ways to be safe while on the water. From 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will offer an in-depth recreational Boating Safely class to the public. It will be held at the Port of Ilwaco Conference Room (street side upstairs), 165 Howerton Ave. Arrive at 8:15 a.m. to sign in. This class meets the re- quirements for the mandatory Washington Boater Education Card upon successful com- pletion. Washington law requires recreational boat operators age 59 or younger to carry a boater education card when operating a recreational boat in Washington. This includes operating a personal watercraft or any motorized watercraft 15 horsepower or greater. You can be cited a hefty fine for not having a card. Many boat insurance companies will offer boating insurance discounts to those who successfully complete a Boating Safely class. Topics include safe boating laws, operating your boat safely and other boating tips, avoiding collisions and accidents, navigation, boating emergencies and rescue, and trailering, storing and protecting your boat. You can also make arrangements with Auxiliarists to conduct cour- tesy vessel examinations. All boaters are reminded that safe navigation is the responsibili- ty of each vessel’s operator. The class costs $10, which includes all class materials and a Washington boating booklet. For registration and ques- tions, contact Elena Righettini at 360-642-0039 or mrighetti- ni@yahoo.com.

The event will take place in the Commu- nity Room. There will be book sales and signings. We will explore the Pa- cific Northwest via Cook’s adventures in foraging and discover a regional stew of food, natural history and oddball characters. Forag- ing is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past; it’s a way to reconnect with the landscape. And Cook is not your typical grocery cart-toting dad. For him, gourmet delicacies abound, free for the taking if we just open our eyes. He finds himself free-diving in icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, armed with nothing more than a “Hawaiian sling.” He tempts fate by eating mush- rooms that may or may not be poisonous. He strings up a fly rod to chase after sea-run trout. He even pulls on the gardening gloves to collect stinging nettles. He traces his journey from wrangler of prepackaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles. In addition, Cook will focus on specific food types, organized around seasons of the year, and conclude with recipes featuring the author’s hard- won bounty. Cook was a senior book editor at Amazon until, in 2004, he left the corporate world to live in a cabin off the grid with his wife and son. Now a freelance writer and editor, Lang has written for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Outside, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Fly Fisherman, the Stranger, Seattle Metro- politan and Conservation Magazine. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway St. For more information, call 503-738- 6742 or visit seasidelibrary. org.
