On Friday, July 31, 2015,
the world — America cer-
tainly — was a very differ-
ent place. We were a world
that seemed to have lost its
heroes.
The month had started
off reasonably well. Serena
Williams won Wimbledon,
one month after winning the
French Open. Zack Johnson
won the 144th Open
Championship
at
St.
Andrews, Scotland.

Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
fair to good during the
summer months. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have boat and bank access.

Cutthroat trout
The cutthroat trout fish-
ery is slow to fair. Fishing
during the early mornings
or in the larger tributaries
is the most productive.
River conditions are very
low and warm for this time
of year. Bait is not allowed
above the head of tide but
small spinners, spoons and
fly fishing can be very pro-
ductive.

Cutthroat trout
The cutthroat trout fish-
ery is fair in the mainstem
and in some of the large
tributaries. With the low
and warm river conditions
the best opportunities will
be in the early morning
when water temperatures
are the coolest. Small spin-
ners are typically produc-
tive as wells as small
spoons or fly fishing with
nymphs or streamers.
SALMON RIVER :
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is
slow to fair with the early
morning being the most
productive. Using small
lures like spinners, spoons
or various flies can be pro-
ductive.

ing is fair in the upper

abilities — and this includes Florence.
Special Olympics Florence invites

There will be 10 weekly practices

There is no upper age limit.
Special Olympics Oregon serves
more than 8,000 participants with
intellectual disabilities through partic-
ipation in 14 Olympic-type sports over
three sports seasons.
Through its signature sports pro-
grams, athletes gain self-confidence,
social competency and other enhanced
skills, giving them continuing oppor-
tunities to develop physical fitness,
demonstrate courage, experience joy
and participate in a sharing of gifts,
skills and friendship with their fami-
lies, other Special Olympics athletes,
and the community.

This weekend, Florence residents Trey and
Brogan Cornish will be on the baseball dia-
mond in Klamath Falls, Ore., competing with
the South Coast All-Star Babe Ruth team for a
chance to be Senior Babe Ruth World Series
champions.
The brothers are the only Florence players
on the 18-player Lumberjacks roster, with the
rest of the team made up of players from North
Bend, Marshfield and Brookings. The
Cornishes were chosen from 50 players,
between ages 16 and 18, who tried out for the
18-player All-Star lineup.
Two weeks ago, the Lumberjacks won the
Oregon State Championship, also in Klamath
Falls, to qualify for the World Series.
Beginning today, the Lumberjacks will be
competing against nine other teams from
around the country, including Pennsylvania,
