Apply for elk tag drawing to hunt on Tribe’s LOP lands Heart disease
The Tribal Natural Resources Department once again will offer a limited number of landowner preference (LOP) elk tags
and what puts
to Tribal members for this fall’s hunting season. As a landowner, the Tribe is eligible to participate in the State’s LOP program.
Based on the number of acres the Tribe owns, we can get six additional antlerless elk tags from the State. These LOP tags are not
you at risk
related to the Tribe’s Consent Decree tags we receive each year. They are based solely on the Tribe being a landowner.
There are a number of important differences between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags. These are summarized in the
table below.

Heart disease is the leading cause of
death in the United States and is a major
cause of disability.
The most common form of heart
disease in the United States is coronary
heart disease (appears as a heart attack).
In 2009, an estimated 785,000 Americans
had a new coronary attack and about
470,000 will have a recurrent attack.
About every 25 seconds, an American
will have a coronary event and about one
every minute will die from one.
People who have survived a heart
attack can work to reduce their risk of an
other heart attack or a stroke in the future
by taking steps to control factors that put
people at greater risk. Knowing the signs
of a heart attack also is important for the
best results after having a heart attack.
Other conditions that affect your heart
or increase your risk of death or disabil
ity include arrhythmia, heart failure and
peripheral artery disease (PAD). High
cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity,
diabetes, tobacco use and secondhand smoke
also are risk factors for heart disease.
Some heart attacks are sudden and
intense. Most heart attacks, however,
start slowly with mild pain or discomfort.
Often people affected aren’t sure what’s
happening and wait too long before getting
help. Between 70 percent and 89 percent
of sudden cardiac events occur in men.
Following are signs that can mean a
heart attack is happening:

State
* Note: If you are drawn for an LOP tag, you still are eligible to apply for and be drawn for a Tribal tag.
Please note that a major difference between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags is only the person drawn for the tag
can hunt that tag. The tag cannot be given to someone else to hunt for you. Therefore, only those folks serious about
hunting this hunt themselves are eligible to apply.
The drawing for the six LOP elk tags will be held at the Natural Resources Committee meeting on April 4 at 4:45 p.m. in
the Natural Resources Department Map Room.
Applications are available on the Tribal website and at the Tribal Natural Resources office in Siletz after March 1. Completed
applications are due in the Natural Resources office by 4:30 p.m. on March 25, 2011.

Natural Resources Manager Mike Kennedy at 541-444-8232 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1232.

The decision is then subject to a 30-day
appeal period. If no appeals are received,
the project moves forward with completion
tentatively scheduled for early summer.
Service Coverage Area
According to AT&T, the new cell
tower will provide “excellent coverage”
for approximately 12 square miles of the
immediate area, extending three miles
north and two miles south of the city
along Highway 229 and more than two
miles east along Logsden Road. “Good
coverage” is expected to include 32 square
miles, while “fair coverage” will extend
even farther.

co-locating their antennas on the tower
and it should be available for the location
of other community-related equipment,
such as that of the Siletz Valley Fire
Department.
The cell phone tower is just one of
many investments the Tribe has made in
the community. Other examples include
funding for Siletz Valley Schools, the Si
letz Public Library and the Siletz Valley
Fire Department; building the Tillicum
Fitness Center, the gymnasium and the
new Siletz Community Health Clinic;
and providing water tanks and street and
sidewalk improvements in Siletz.
Additionally, the Tribe contracts with
the Toledo Police Department for law
enforcement services in the community.

Chest discomfort: Most heart attacks
involve discomfort in the center of the
chest that lasts more than a few min
utes or goes away and comes back. It
can feel like uncomfortable pressure,
squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper
body: Symptoms can include pain or
discomfort in one or both arms, the
back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath: May occur with
or without chest discomfort.
Other symptom signs: These may
include breaking out in a cold sweat,
nausea or lightheadedness.
A healthy diet and lifestyle are the
best weapons you have to fight heart
disease. Exercising 20 minutes per day is
a good start. Following are other recom
mended suggestions:
•

•
•
•
Choose lean meats and poultry with
out skin. Prepare in non-saturated fats
and use zero trans fats.
Reduce cholesterol and salt intake.
Limit sugars in food and drinks.
If you drink alcohol, drink in modera
tion — one drink per day for a woman,
two drinks per day for a man.
Reduce food portion size. Use a salad
plate instead of a dinner plate.
Although heart disease is thought of
as a man’s disease, it’s the leading cause
of death for both men and women in the
United States. Women account for nearly
50 percent of heart disease.
