ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Sixth annual Siuslaw Open set for September This year the grand prize at the Siuslaw Open is a brand new Ford F150 truck. “All that is necessary is to hit a hole-in- one on the designated hole,” said David Wiegan, tournament co-chair and former golfer. “First, get the distance cor- rect, then hit it straight. It’s a piece of cake — Well, almost.” Johnston Motors is once again the hole-in-one contest sponsor at the sixth Annual Siuslaw Open. This year, the event will be held at Ocean Dunes on Saturday, Sept. 10, with regis- tration starting at 9 a.m. Also new this year is a $5,000 putting contest. One entrant will be selected at ran- dom and will have one try to sink a 60 foot putt. “This one is a lot shorter, and is even easi- er,” Wiegan said. The tournament is one of the main fundraisers for Siuslaw Outreach Services. Last year netted more than $7,000 for th service program. This year, the State Splash. Funds raised support all SOS programs, including advocacy for victims of domestic/sexual violence, low-income families, emergency assistance and basic needs for homeless persons. The entry fee is $89 per play- er or $320 per team, and this year there is an early registra- tion discount. The fee will be $79 per play- er or $290 per team if received by Aug. 26.

Meet Karma Hello, I’m Karma and I would love to be your loyal companion. The best way to get to know me is to come spend some time with me at the shelter. It takes some patience, because I am a little anxious around new people, but I will warm up to you once I know that you are there to see me, and especially if you have a few treats! Over time I bond very closely to one person, and see it as my job to be near you and be your constant, loyal companion. This means that I will adapt best to a single-person household where I can have you all to myself. If you have the patience to take the time to get to know me and let me get to know you at my pace, I will be your most loyal and constant friend. I love going on walks, or relaxing around the house - as long as you are with me I am happy. I am very smart and respond well to verbal commands, and want nothing more than to please my person. If you would like to meet me, or fi nd out more about me, please call the shelter.

Anglers that catch a tagged trout in Empire Lakes can report the tag number to ODFW by stopping by the Charleston Office, calling 541-888-5515, or report tags online. A few of these tags are worth a $50 gift card. Fishing in the area lakes for trout has been ok with anglers having the best success using small spinners, spoons, or garlic fla- vored Powerbait. The daily trout bag limit in these lakes is five trout per day with only one trout over 20 inches. There are trout available for kids in the Millicoma Pond at the Millicoma Interpretive Center and fishing is excel- lent. Millicoma Pond is set aside for kids fishing only and is a great chance for them to hook into fish. Call before traveling to Millicoma Pond to make sure the gates are open. The phone number is 541-267-2557. Largemouth bass and bluegill fishing is picking up with the warmer days. This time of the year bass and bluegills will be found in shal- low water typically near a weedline or structure. Plastic worms, shallow crankbaits, and spinner baits are good to use for bass. Bluegills will bit on worms, small jigs, or flies.
