Barry Turner, retired high

Barry began his career teaching physical education to students in
Foothills Sentry
grades five through 10 at Apple- ton School in England. He came to TUSD as a substitute teacher in 1989, and joined Hillview High School in 1992, where he taught math and science for 20 years. During that time he served as tech prep coordinator and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) co-leader at Hillview, and was a member of the district’s math and science curriculum committees. Among his many honors, Barry
was named TUSD High School Teacher of the Year in 2002, as well as Hillview Teacher of the Year three times – 2012, 2002 and 1995. He was also selected by his students as Teacher of the Year in 2000 and 1999, and re-
ceived the 1995 Golden Touch Award from the Assessment and Treatment Services Center for his work with young people. In addition to teaching at Hill-
view, Barry served as the Foot- hill High School boys head soc- cer coach for 23 years. His soc- cer teams won seven league titles and made 14 appearances in CIF competition. Barry was named Orange County Register Coach of the Year and 2012 CIF State Model Coach of the Year – one of six coaches from over 500 high schools – for being a positive role model to youth.

Irvine Lake catfish chewing well By Steve Carson
The catfish harvest at the lake continues to be generous, with eating-size two to eight-pounders coming in regularly. However, in September one monster blue, tipping the scales at 54-7, was hauled in and released by Terry Lairson of Huntington Beach. Jim Getty at the Pro Shop re-
ports that the lake has changed since early summer and many of the old spots are very shallow, but new areas are providing good fishing. Productive baits for cats include mackerel, shrimp, bonito and skipjack. Favored depths are five-15 feet and larger fish will be found at 20-25 foot depths. Good catches are reported at the west shore, Santiago Flats, mid-lake and near the dam. Bass fishing is pretty good, and anglers are reminded that
all bass species are strictly catch and release at Irvine Lake. Crap- pie, bluegill and redear sunfish may be just hand-sized, but larger specimens up to one pound are increasing. Kids Lagoon is providing good numbers of small carp and one to three-pound catfish on marshmal- low/mealworm combos. Surface temperature on the main lake is around 78-80 degrees and the lake level is dropping slowly. Un- derwater visibility is mixed. The 2014-15 trout season will
open to the public Friday, Oct. 31. Thousands of pounds of trout will be stocked prior to that date. A limited-entry “VIP Fishing Day” will take place Thursday, Oct. 30. Lake hours, until the trout opener, are Thursdays, 6 a.m.- 11 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 6 a.m.-midnight; Sundays 6 a.m.-7 p.m.
“The big one that didn’t get away!”
Outstanding catches recently include: Royal Hunter, Orange (aged 10): 13-4 channel cat on Bite-On at mid-lake.
Jack Lander, Orange: 11-5 blue catfish on Bite-On at the flats. Don Spencer, Silverado: 3-12 largemouth bass (released) on plastics at Rocky Point.
