Hikers should bring water and snacks, and meet at I.V. Visitor Center at 1 p.m. Participants also should be prepared to walk up to one mile. They should bring hik- ing boots, rain gear and Polar- oid glasses. This trip is wheel- chair accessible. Salmon are moving up Illinois River, and it is hoped that with luck and some rain, participants will be able to see salmon leaping up waterfalls. Nawa also will explain the life cycle of salmon and their habitat needs. For more information phone (541) 472-9627; or Siskiyou Project, 592-4459. Plant pest talk in GP Nov. 13 A free presentation on “Garden Symphylans” is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Oregon State University Extension Auditorium, 215 Ringuette St., Grants Pass. Many produce growers are unaware of these little- seen “cousins” of the centi- pede. Symphylans feed on germinating vegetable seeds, roots and plant parts in contact with the soil. They stunt older plants by poking numerous, small, shallow holes in root crops. Symphylans also eat fine root hairs, thereby interfering with water and nutrient ab- sorption. Surviving plants produce poorly, are more susceptible to disease; mature unevenly; and are smaller than healthy plants. Page 7 U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D- Ore.) hailed the Senate’s 92-2 passage of the conference re- port on election reform, legis- lation that includes protections for Oregon’s successful vote- by-mail system. The House has passed the Help America Vote Act of 2002. The bill, which now goes to the White House for the president’s final approval, gives voters who register by mail additional options to ver- ify their identities, thereby deterring fraud without plac- ing restrictive “photo ID” re- quirements on first-time vot- ers in Oregon. Wyden fought the original photo ID provision in the bill; as it excluded Oregon’s “proven and effective system of signature authentication,” in which voters submit with their ballots a signature or per- sonal mark that can be matched to a signature or mark on file with state or local election officials. “My primary concern throughout this debate has been preserving Oregon’s sys- tem, which has improved voter participation while maintaining a high degree of reliability,” said Wyden. “The final bill,” he said, “preserves Oregon’s vote-by- mail system , and also puts in place tough new provisions to fight fraud nationwide at the time of registration, instead of overly burdening first-time voters going to the polls or mailing in their ballots.” In Memory of Edna Hoskins Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you brought some food our way and helped us through the day, perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all but kept us in your heart. Whatever you did to console our grief, we thank you so much for your part. From the Family & Friends of Edna Hoskins GOLF COURSE WATER - Installation of a 3,000-foot water line at Illinois Valley Golf Course began late last month. The overall project to help supply water for the course will take ap- proximately a month. With a shovel is Bob Hurt and picking along to help is Marv Ahlers.

The Oregon State Marine Board adopted a rule clarifica- tion during a meeting in Hood River last month. The board also eliminated thrust limits on certain lakes for electric boat motors and approved funding for several facility projects. “The rule regarding ex- pired boat registrations was clarified by the board to help marine patrol officers do their job more effectively,” said Marine Board Director Paul Donheffner. “In some public moorages, 20 percent or more of the boats have expired reg- istrations. “These boats are using state resources, but the defini- tion of ‘in use’ was ambigu- ous. This clarification states that a boat in the water must have a current registration.” Donheffner noted that this is a narrow change affecting only registration and titling. In Oregon, all boats with motors, and sailboats 12 feet and longer, must be registered when in the water. The cost to register a boat varies from $15 to $30 or more every two years depending on size. “For most people we’re talking $10 to $20 per year -- far less than they’re likely paying in moorage fees,” said Donheffner. “But these regis- tration fees are used to pro- vide law enforcement and to build and maintain floats, ramps, restrooms and other public boating facilities. “We need to be sure that people using these resources are paying their way.” Winter Hours Tuesday - Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Closed Monday) Take-Outs: U-Bet!
