Klineline Kids Fish-In Event

Annual Event is Reel Fun.

The 11th Annual Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event is Saturday April 10, 2010.

Klineline Pond is stocked with thousands of trout to give kids the best chance possible of experiencing the “thrill of the catch”.  All fishing gear and bait will be provided, and each child will have the chance to catch, clean and keep up to two fish. While there is no guarantee of a catch, all kids will get a Fishing Kids T-Shirt, and get to keep the rod and reel they fished with!

The Salmon Creek Lions will be there giving out prizes for the best fish caught throughout the day and running the lunch counter. Registration deadline is April 2, 2010 and is by mail only.  Click for the 2010 Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event Registration, or call Dan Bodell (909-5256) if you are interested in volunteering at this event.

Are you hooked on fishing and wishing your kids were, too? Check out the advice from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to make your first fishing trips a success.

Your children have been working very hard in art class producing wonderful one of a kind art pieces.

WSU Vancouver Gives Good Neighbor Notice

WSU Vancouver to Survey for Property Lines.

We heard recently that Washington State University – Vancouver Campus was to begin work to determine property lines around part of their beautiful Salmon Creek campus. In discussions with WSUV personnel, we were told that they wanted to keep an open channel of communications about the project.  To that end, a postcard was going out to University neighbors – specifically along the western boundary – discussing the upcoming work.  Here is the text of the postcard and the picture they referenced.

Dear Neighbor:

We want to make you aware of some work we’re doing on Washington State University Vancouver’s perimeter. Over the coming weeks and months we will be surveying to determine our property line. Our work may disturb some vegetation in the area. We will work lightly to minimize our impact. After we locate our property line, we will begin construction of our standard “farm fence” along our western boundary. It’s the same fence that runs alongside Salmon Creek Avenue and is pictured on the front of this postcard. We plan to run this fence along our entire property line in time. The fence line will reflect property lines, which may not otherwise be clear. If you have questions or concerns about our project, please call James Martin at 360-546-9000.

Best regards,

Washington State University Vancouver
Go, Cougs!

Sounds like the University is looking to keep neighbors in the loop about events surrounding the boundary survey process.  If you have questions, be a good neighbor and touch base with the University through the contact information they provide.
