SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 STEP 3 B MEETING TO DISCUSS SALMON , ANGLING TONIGHT All things salmon and angling will be on the agenda at the today, Sept. 2, meeting of the Florence Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP). The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Elks’ Lodge on 12th Street. The public is invited to attend. John Spangler, mid-coast district fish biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, will discuss the 2015 wild coho regulations, harvest forecasts for chinook and coho, effects of the droughts and a look ahead to the winter steel- head season. He will also be showing a three-minute loop video of sea surface temperatures that cov- ers years from 1891 through this June. Spangler’s presentation is going to be comprehensive and cover all things salmon, includ- ing the shorter-than-last year’s wild coho season. Following Spangler’s pres- entation, Ron Caputo will share his 10 strategies for catching fall chinook and the brine recipe he uses to prepare his cut plug herring. The wild coho season on the Siuslaw River will run from from Tuesday, Sept. 15, to Thursday, Oct. 15, from the river’s mouth to Lake Creek. Lake Creek is closed for wild coho. Anglers are allowed one wild coho per day and two for the season in NW and SW zone rivers, but anglers may not take more than one adult wild coho from any area or combination of areas within those zones in a single day, regardless of loca- tion. The wild coho season on Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes begins Thursday, Oct. 1, and closes Thursday, Dec. 31. Wild coho taken in the lakes do not count against the season- al limits in the rivers, but anglers may have only five wild coho in aggregate for the year. A short business meeting and fishing report will precede the presentations. For more information, call Caputo at 541-997-4961. Annual Mill-Luck Salmon Celebration marks return of salmon NORTH BEND — Canoe teams are practicing, Tribal artists are preparing their demonstrations, drummers and dancers are getting ready and the salmon soon will be on their way for the 12th annual Mill- Luck Salmon Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12 to 13, at The Mill Casino Hotel and RV Park. As in past years, the free weekend event will feature daily performances by Native American drummers and dancers, a marketplace offering traditional wares and foods and a bay-front canoe exhibit along with races, traditional games and activities for children, plus a variety of cultural demonstra- tions by many Coquille Tribal members and, of course, a tra- ditional salmon bake dinner. The celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Canoe races will be held Saturday morning with awards presented to the winning teams at 1 p.m. On Sunday, members of the public will have an opportunity to share in the canoe experience on the water during a special exhibition that will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., condi- tions permitting. A traditional salmon bake dinner, where fresh salmon is prepared in the time-honored Coquille open-pit manner will be served on both days. Tickets for the salmon bake dinner, including a commemo- rative T-shirt, are $25 for adults and just $12 for children aged 11 and under. A children’s coloring contest was added this year for children ages 2-12. Children are invited to fill in the color on a piece of original artwork by Coquille Tribal member Shirod Younker, and return it to Ko-Kwel Gifts by Friday, Sept. 4. All artwork will be displayed during the Salmon Celebration and winners in three categories will be announced at 2 p.m. Sunday at the event. Coloring pages are being published in The World news- paper and extra pages are avail- able at Ko-Kwel Gifts, the Coos History Museum and the Coos Art Museum. This year’s celebration again will be the site for a “weigh sta- tion” and awards ceremony for the 15th Annual Coos Basin amateur Salmon Derby. Marking the return of the salmon, The Mill-Luck Salmon Celebration, has provided a stage to share the heritage, cul- ture and traditions of the Coquille Indian Tribe and other Pacific Northwest Tribes with residents and visitors to Oregon’s Bay Area. The event attracts Native American artisans and musi- cians from throughout the Western United States and Canada. Breaking news, photo galleries and MORE!

My New Years resolution is to eat better (and less) and get more exercise. With my goal of becoming a lap dog, I think I can keep it. I am house broken, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and will come to you with freshly cleaned teeth. With your help I will keep this New Years resolution. Kip is a very nice dog but can get defensive around new people. We have been taking Kip to classes at Surf City Dog Training where he has been doing very well! We have a few suggestions for Kips future adopter that we think will help him succeed in his new home. Kip does need to fi nd a quieter home with no kids or big dogs. Please contact the shelter if you are interested in Kip. If you would like to meet Kip or any of his friends, please visit us at: FLORENCE HUMANE SOCIETY 2840 Rhododendron Drive • Florence • 541-997-4277 www.fl orencehumane.org This message brought to you by: Siuslaw News + www.shoppelocal.biz PHOTOS BY NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS Clockwise from top: Siuslaw cheerleaders rally the crowd; Marshall Teeter rushes for a first down; Kenneth Thrall and Scott Gordon are introduced.

Earlier in the week, players were “drafted” by assistant coaches, with some mixing and matching to keep the playing field as level as possible. During the course of the two 20-minute halves, only two touchdowns were scored — both by 220-lb. senior linebacker and runningback Kenneth Thrall. The first came near the end of the first half, on a 4-yard grind into the end zone. There were no PATs in the game, so each TD was worth seven points. In a game dominated by defense, the second score didn’t come until the final eight min- utes, when 6-foot-6 sophomore Trent Reavis found Thrall and launched a 17-yard pass for another trip into the end zone. The “gold” team took the win for pride., 14-0. “Our kids had fun and I saw some good execution,” Dodson said of the scrimmage. “Trent and Preston (Mitchell) both did a nice job in the pocket, and I saw some nice work by Dylan Jennings and Kainan Lane on the line. “Football is special in this community, and we need to do the things we can to keep it spe- cial for our players and fans.” Friday’s game at Newport kicks off at 7 p.m., with the Viks’ first home stand set for Sept. 11, against Pleasant Hill, also at 7 p.m.
