SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2016 Clinics to teach harvesting clams, crab LINCOLN CITY — The Oregon Coast is teeming with life all year-round. And during the summer, you can learn how to harvest the coastal bounty with crabbing and clamming clinics in Lincoln City. Led by local expert Bill Lackner, these clinics are a great way to learn how to catch fresh Dungeness crab and pur- ple varnish clams. This will be Lackner’s fourth season hosting the crabbing and clamming clinics, and he is prepared for another fun and educational program. “This is my passion. I love teaching visitors of all ages how to do this, especially the kids,” says Lackner. “At first, they are a little intimidated by it. But after I show them how fun and easy it is, then their faces light up. “There is nothing more rewarding than watching a kid feel a sense of accomplishment. These clinics are great charac- ter building exercises for kids and kids at heart.” The first crabbing clinic will be Wednesday, June 8, at 9 a.m., at the SW 51st Street beach access (near Mo’s Restaurant) in the Historic Taft COURTESY PHOTO District of Lincoln City.

Talks last approximately 45 minutes, followed by clam dig- ging on Siletz Bay. Participants will need a five-gallon bucket, a pair of gloves and a shellfish license. Clam bags and shovels will be available for purchase on site. Looking back on four years of hosting the crabbing and clamming clinics, Lackner thanked the city for its suppor of the clinics. “Lincoln City is a leader in supporting recreational oppor- tunities like crabbing and clam- ming,” says Lackner. “When we started these clinics, we wanted to show off the wonder- ful bay-front here in town and all of the great things you can do on it. Now it has taken on a life of its own, and I am thank- ful that the city continues to support it.” For the full clinic schedule and more information on the crabbing and clamming clinics, call 800-452- 2151 or visit www.oregoncoast.org.

In the bottom of the inning, Siuslaw brought home six runs on 12 plate appearances, lead by another 2-run single from Thrall, who was 2-for-4 on the night with 4 RBIs and a run scored. Gordon went 3-for-3 and scored three times for the Viks. Last night, Siuslaw was on the road at North Bend (after press deadlines) and will wrap up the regular season Tuesday at South Umpqua. The the Vikings, currently in fourth place in the Far West League, still have a shot at the play-offs. However, they would need to win last night’s doubleheader and next week’s game against the Lancers. In addition, third-place Brookings-Harbor would need to lose all three of its last games — including a matchup with the 1-11 Pirates of Marshfield next week. A tall order to be sure. But not out of the realm of possibilities for a Vikings team that has so far managed to keep its post-season hopes alive. First pitch for Tuesday’s game is set for 5 p.m. at South Umpqua High School. www.shoppelocal.biz 3 B
