MID COAST LAKES
The coho salmon fish-
eries in Siltcoos and
Tahkenitch lakes are slow
to fair. This time of year is
typically the most produc-
tive. Recent rains and big
tide should help to move
new fish into the lakes.
The West Lake Boat
Ramp at Siltcoos has been
close for repairs but there
is a neighboring private
ramp that can be utilized.
Look to fish near the lake
outlet and by the major
tributaries that enter the
lakes. Casting or trolling
spinners or various plugs
can be effective.

Temperatures may have been cool
outside Holiday Bowl this past
Sunday, but the Vikings were on fire
while hosting their annual Siuslaw
Bowling Invitational.
Eight teams were on hand for the
tournament, which included district
teams from along the coast such as
Marshfield and North Bend, as well as
teams from Springfield and Cottage
Grove. The tournament was one of the
last remaining opportunities to prepare
for district at the end of the month.
In Saturday’s tournament, teams
bowled 16 Baker games, with each
team member bowling two frames per
game in the qualifying round. After
that, teams bowled eight more Baker
games for the semi-finals.
The Vikings finished third in the
qualifying round with a combined 16-
game total of 2,700 for an average
score of 169.
Siuslaw advanced to the semi-
finals, where the top four teams would

Cape Perpetua series to explore climate, salmon
YACHATS — From their start in
freshwater streams to the depths of the
ocean and back again, few Pacific
Northwest species can handle diverse
environs as much as salmonids.
But how well will salmon’s capacity
for change serve them in the uncharted
waters of changing climatic condi-
tions?
Dr. Rebecca Flitcroft, Ph.D., a fish
biologist with the U.S. Forest Service’s
Pacific Northwest Research Station,
will share her latest research and offer
her assessment at the next Cape
Perpetua Winter Discovery Series at 2
p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, in the Visitor
Center, 2400 S. Highway. 101, three
miles south of Yachats.
“Survival in Times of Change:
Climate and Salmon of the Oregon
Coast Range” delves into the dynamic
genetic lineage of salmon to unearth
clues that may provide for adaptations
necessary to the species’ survival.
Dr. Flitcroft’s research focuses on
aquatic systems from river headwaters
to the ocean. Her analysis bridges the
connection of stream networks and
estuaries to the aquatic species that
depend upon them.
The Cape Perpetua Winter
Discovery Series is an opportunity to
explore topics and resources relevant
to the Oregon Coast during the off-sea-
son months between November and
March. All presentations and guided
walks are free, but a Northwest Forest
Pass, Oregon Coast Passport or $5
day-use fee is required within the Cape
Perpetua Scenic Area.
Upcoming Winter Discover Series
event:
Jan. 16, at 2 p.m. — Land/Sea
Conservation Issues: Cape Perpetua’s
unique connection between protected
coastal rainforest and marine reserve
provides an appropriate backdrop in
the conversation for land/sea conser-
vation.
Paul Engelmeyer has directed
Portland Audubon’s Ten Mile Creek
coastal conservation program since
1990 and will share the latest land/sea
conservation issues.
No RSVPs necessary.

I hope you all had a wonderful 2015 and hope the New Year
will be another great year.
If you are thinking of selling your home, now is the time to start sprucing it up.
Here are a few tips to help you get going:
1) Reduce the clutter. 2) Paint. Fresh paint in neutral colors makes rooms look larger. 3) Make minor repairs. 4) Repair leaky
roofs. One tiny stain makes buyers question the entire roof. 5) Identify property lines and corners. 6) Organize the kitchen.
Clean off counters. 7) Exterminate. One bug can scare off a buyer. 8) Update the bath. 9) Put away valuables. 10) Give it curb
appeal. Prune bushes, add flowers, paint the front door. 11) Eliminate odors. Pet or food smells can turn off customers imme-
diately.
