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

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-

members and, of course, a tra-
ditional salmon bake dinner.
The celebration runs from 11

Canoe races will be held
Saturday morning with awards
presented to the winning teams
at 1 p.m.

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

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

Meet K IP
I’ve been a couch potato for a while but
that’s going to change. 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:

from 1B
year’s team of Vikings.
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.
