Siuslaw News Come September, longtime Siuslaw coach Chris Johnson will be lacing up his running shoes for more than the Vikings’ highly successful cross coun- try and track programs. That’s because he’ll be doing a different kind of run- ning around as the school’s new athlet- ic director. The announcement was made Wednesday by Siuslaw High School principal Kerri Tatum, who explained that Johnson will work together with vice principal Corky Franklin to over- see the school’s athletics programs Franklin, who was appointed as ath- letic director in June, will be the administrative component, with Johnson being the hands-on and day- to-day coordinator for Siuslaw’s ath- letics programs. “Essentially, they will work together to handle all things athletic at the high school,” Tatum explained. “The athlet- ic director will report directly to the vice principal to create a clean line of responsibility and duty for students, parents and coaches.” All disciplinary issues will be han- dled by Franklin, which Tatum said will eliminate any grey area by keep- ing those types of issues with one per- son. “Chris is well respected in our town See NED HICKSON FILE PHOTO/SIUSLAW NEWS SHS 3B Aug. 6 R OTARY G OLF 10 A .

Bait is not allowed above the head of tide until Sept. 1. B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News T he surface along the Siuslaw River was calm Thursday morn- ing when the 14 participants of the “Culture Canoe Camp” climbed into the 32-and-a-half-foot Journey Canoe named “Lottie,” which represents the daughter of historic tribal chief, Daloose Jackson, and began the 14-mile trek from Mapleton to the Port of Siuslaw in Florence. However, by late afternoon, as the canoers paddled through Cushman, the winds had risen, gusting from north to south across the river as they battled during the final stretch of their journey. Led by Jesse Beers, culture director for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, the experience was part of a preparation process for a multi-tribal conflagration next month in Washington, when tribes from throughout the region travel by canoe to meet on the Nisqually Reservation. See Cutthroat For cutthroat trout, cast- ing small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effec- tive. Angling for all species in streams above tidewater is restricted to artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. Casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective. NESTUCCA RIVER and THREE RIVERS: JOURNEY 3B Jesse Beers (front) of the Confederated Tribes coordinated the trip as part of a three-river preparation process that included the Coos and Lower Umpqua rivers, as well as the Siuslaw.
