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

entation on crabbing regula-
tions, harvest methods, identifi-
cation, and cleaning and cook-
ing techniques.
The first clamming clinic is
Thursday, June 9, at 10:30 a.m.,
beginning with a presentation
at Driftwood Public Library,
801 SW Highway 101, on the
second floor of City Hall.
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.”

which resulted in runs for the
Vikings.
The Viks also scored on

Thrall in the second inning.

as Siuslaw returned to the plate
and went to work.
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.
