SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2015 3 B Siuslaw Athletics Boosters discuss new scholarships, awards The Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club recently approved $10,000 for the establishment of an endowment fund to pro- vide annual scholarships for Siuslaw High School scholar- athletes. The fund will be adminis- tered by the Western Lane Community Foundation, a “nonprofit organization char- tered for the purpose of receiv- ing, administering and distrib- uting charitable funds for the benefit of residents in western Lane County, Oregon.” Gayle Waiss, executive director of WLCF, made a pres- entation during Monday’s monthly meeting of the booster club board at the Siuslaw High School library. Waiss said WLCF currently is returning 4.5 percent annual- ly on a minimum $10,000 investment. The board unanimously approved the expenditure after Waiss’ presentation. A subcommittee was formed to establish criteria for the scholarships, likely two $500 to $1,000 stipends for one male and one female Siuslaw athlete. The club also likely will fund the first few scholarships through its general fund, which currently has more than $50,000. In other business, treasurer Eric Tanikawa reported the joint booster club-Parent Teacher Association run Nov. 21 is “ninety percent ready to go.” Hunt Dentistry and the Siuslaw News have contributed $250 each for the event, which this year replaces the annual “Move Your Bones” run. Vice president Jennifer Waggoner reported work con- tinues on securing a site and a date for the annual auction, one of the club’s major sources of revenue. Club secretary Lynnette Holdahl offered a new form that will be used by school teams to request donations from the SABC. Discussion of the “triple threat awards” was tabled to next month. Athletic director Jeromy Graybill has proposed special recognition for Siuslaw student-athletes who play at least three sports per school year over three years while maintaining at least a 3.0 grade-point average. The full board was in atten- dance Monday, including presi- dent Gina Castro-Brandt, Waggoner, Holdahl, Tanikawa, membership chair Kim Pickell, member-at-large Jim Archer and past president Jack Butler. The SABC meets the last Monday of the month. The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Nov. 30, at the high school library. Live radio,” Graybill said. “Like if (KCST’s) Bob Sneddon is doing announcing on the radio, there’s some way to link it up.” • Updates of school activities on Facebook (www.facebook. com/SHSVikings/). “Our principal, Mrs. (Kerri) Tatum, does more of that stuff,” Graybill said. “I’ll send her the information and she’ll post it.” For now, Twitter is his pet project. Armed with his trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smart- phone, Graybill has amassed 89 tweets for his 10 followers. He is currently following 14. “Technology, if you harness it, can be very useful,” Graybill said. “It makes things a lot more connected.” Graybill has attached a photo or two on his Twitter account, and plans to start shooting video. “I never thought I’d ever be on Twitter,” he said, asked whether he’s considering Instagram and other forms of social media. “It’s just a start. We’ll see what’s out there.” Trolling, casting lures or bob- ber fishing through the high slack tide tends to be the most productive. Cutthroat trout fishing from upper tide water through the lower river can be effective during the early mornings with sea runs moving through this time of year. SILETZ RIVER: Chinook, coho, steelhead, cutthroat trout The fall Chinook fishery has been producing fair to good results in the lower bay up to the head of tide. Trolling or bobber fishing seems to be the most productive. The wild coho fishery con- tinues through Nov. 30 with a daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and seasonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay up to Coyote Rock typically produces the best results early in the season. Summer steelhead fishing is fair to good in the upper river above Moonshine Park. Cutthroat trout can be found in most sections with sea runs found in the mid to lower river this time of year. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook Fall Chinook angling in tidewater is fair to good. Bobber and bait is producing the best results. Summer steel- head fishing is slow. Yellow perch fishing will start to pick up this month in lakes like Saunders Lake. Fishing a worm on the bot- tom in deep water should pro- vide lots of bites for yellow perch. from 1B winter, during basketball sea- son,” Graybill said. “We have all the stuff to do it. It takes a few guys to put it together, and to manhandle the camera.” He hopes to pair the live streaming with Coast Radio game broadcasts. “You can entertwine the 541•999•6078 FACEBOOK.COM/PETERSENAUTODETAIL USLAW SI S S igns 3 & G R A I P H C 'ų 8 INDOOR / OUTDOOR • • • • • • SIGNS & BANNERS VEHICLE GRAPHICS VINYL LETTERING STICKERS & CLINGS WINDOW GRAPHICS YARD SIGNS 997-8148 LOCATED AT: 7KH6KLSSLQ·6KDFN 2QWKHFRUQHURI th 6WUHHW+LJKZD\ Want Breaking News?

The wild coho fishery is open through Nov. 30 with a daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and seasonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay up to the air- port boat ramp typically pro- duces the best results for coho. COOS COUNTY LAKES and PONDS: Largemouth bass, bluegills Fall trophy trout were stocked earlier this month in Bradley Lake. Anglers fishing from small boats or pontoons have been catching several trout. This is the only stocking of trout in Coos County this fall. Fishing for largemouth bass has been good in many of the Coos County lakes. As the water cools down fishing for bass will be good throughout the day. Bass will be concen- trated near drop-offs and struc- ture like submerged logs. Maintenance Kits UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: The South Umpqua is cur- rently closed to all fishing until Dec. 1. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, coho Streams in the Tenmile Basin closed Oct. 31. The use of bait is now allowed in streams above tidewater. The water level in Tenmile Lakes is extremely low and boat anglers should use caution when boating in the lakes. Tenmile Lakes is open all year for trout but trout fishing has been slow. Bass anglers have been catching several largemouth bass in Tenmile Lakes. Bass can be found this time of the year in shallow water near structure like logs or weed lines. A few anglers have been catching yellow perch from the fishing dock at the County Boat Ramp and near the edge of the weedlines. Wild coho season will be open until Dec. 31. The bag limit is 1 wild coho per day and 5 wild coho for the season in aggregate with all other wild coho fisheries in the NW and SW zones.

Fishing for bottom fish is now open to fishing at all- depths. Fishing for black rock- fish continues to be very good from Charleston to Bandon. The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a sepa- rate daily limit for lingcod (two). Anglers can only keep 3 blue rockfish and 1 canary rockfish as part of their daily limit and there will be no har- vest of China, quillback, or copper rockfish.
