Council closes Chinook season
Keeping the Sacramento River’s fall Chinook stock healthy in 2008 would take 122,000 returning fall Chinook, but fewer than half that number are expected to return — even with no fishing at all. So the Pacific Fishery Management Council cancels this year’s commercial and sport ocean Chinook seasons. Oregon wins a small victory: a 9,000-fish coho quota for sport fishermen.
Other April news
• Longtime hardware merchant Leonard Farr, 86, dies after being struck by a car in a crosswalk near Mingus Park.
• Federal railroad regulators say the Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad appears to have abandoned the Coos Bay rail line. They demand the company explain its lack of action.
• Administrators say the Coos Bay School District faces a $1 million shortfall for the 2008-09 academic year.
• Former President Bill Clinton fires up the crowd at North Bend High School, encouraging voters to support his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., in the May 20 primary.
• In national news, police take children into protective custody at a polygamist compound in Texas.
