SLASH AND DEBRIS BURNING that got out of hand
prompted a response by Illinois Valley Fire District
(IVFD) on Sunday afternoon, April 29. The location was
off Westside Road. Indications were that a land owner
over-extended his control over several large piles of
burning slash. Some strong wind was said to have
worsened the situation. (Photo by Dale & Elaine

Cancer survival predictions more accurate, says OHSU
Researchers at Oregon
Health & Science University
(OHSU) in Portland and two
other institutions have found
a way to better predict the
survival of older adolescents
and young adults with cancer.
They calculated a new
statistic, conditional survival,
which takes into account the
time elapsed since diagnosis
when predicting survival
probability.
The research was pre-
sented during the American
Society for Therapeutic Radi-
ology and Oncology conven-
tion in Philadelphia by Dr.
Samuel J. Wang, Holman
Pathway resident in radiation
medicine.
“Traditionally, cancer
survival rates are usually only
reported from the time of
diagnosis, but for patients
who survive several years
after diagnosis and treatment,
survival rates may change
and often improve,” said
Wang.
The researchers used the
National Cancer Institute's
Surveillance, Epidemiology
and End Results database to
determine the conditional
survival rates of cancer pa-
tients between the ages of 15
and 29, and compared them
with younger and older age
groups.
In prior studies, Wang
had found that in other age
groups, conditional survival
rates improved significantly
as patients survived longer
periods of time from their
diagnosis and treatment.
In this latest study, how-
ever, they found that patients
in the 15- to 29-year-old age
group showed the least im-
provement in conditional
survival over time, compared
with every other age group,
including infants and patients
older than 85.
“This information on
conditional survival rates is
useful to patients who want to
know how their current prog-
nosis is changing from year to
year,” said Wang. “It also is
useful information for health-
care providers who need to
decide on appropriate follow-
up testing based on the pa-
tient's risk,” he said.
According to OHSU:
The reason that young
adults show the lowest im-
provement in conditional
survival rates is not known. It
could be due to the unique
mix of cancers in this age
group, which predominantly
consist of lymphomas, mela-
nomas and testicular and thy-
roid cancers.
It also could be because
this age group has historically
received less attention in can-
cer research compared to
other age groups.
This age group has the
lowest enrollment rate in
clinical trials despite the fact
that cancer is 2.7 times more
common in this age group
compared with those younger
than 15.
Wang suggests that fur-
ther studies are needed to
investigate other potential
causes for these findings.
Participants in the study
were Dr. Charles Thomas,
professor and chairman of the
radiation medicine in the
OHSU School of Medicine
and a member of the OHSU
Cancer Institute; researchers
at University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Anto-
nio; and St. Charles Medical
Center in Bend, Ore.
OHSU Cancer Institute is
home to one of the first Ado-
lescent and Young Adult
(AYA) Oncology Programs
in the country. AYA’s mis-
sion is to develop and dis-
seminate more effective
methods to diagnose, treat,
follow, and care for young
adults with cancer 15 to 40.
The OHSU Cancer Insti-
tute is the only cancer center
designated by the National
Cancer Institute between Sac-
ramento and Seattle.
Casting for bass tips offered by champion fish stalker
By LARRY NIXON
If a bass could build its
ideal habitat, the specs would
be something like this: shal-
low water, in or near heavy
cover with quick access to
deep water nearby.
While the nearby deep-
water access is good news for
anglers (you need some place
to float your boat), pulling
bass out of water in or near
heavy cover can pose some
access problems.
Safe and secure in its
ideal surroundings, the bass
has an ideal ambush point
should it decide to feed on
baitfish or crawfish. This bass
isn’t going to have a very big
strike zone, so don’t expect it
to come charging out from
the cover to devour any fast-
moving bait that just happens
to be in the area. You are go-
ing to have to put this bait
right where the bass lives.
You may have to get the
bait in through an opening no
bigger than a coffee can or
under low-hanging trees -- all
the while making sure not to
spook the fish by causing a
big splash with every cast.
You have to pitch.
Pitching is the same tech-
nique that anglers have em-
ployed for centuries when
they tied lengths of line to the
end of cane poles. It allowed
them to guide the bait to a
desired location. They did
this without the high-tech
rods and reels we now have at
our disposal.
It worked then, and it
works even better today.
Whether it’s getting your bait
in a small opening near heavy
cover, under low-hanging
limbs or around boat docks,
being a proficient pitcher can
make your days on the water
much more successful.
Ideal for using in off-
color or muddy water (as
most lakes tend to be this
time of year as they are
stirred up by the wind and
hard rain), pitching is best for
targets between 10 and 30
feet away and provides a
quiet lure entry.
Standard equipment for
me is 25-pound test Berkley
Big Game line and a 7-foot,
6-inch Fenwick Techna AV
Flippin’Stik (at least 7 feet in
length is a must for a casting
rod). It’s a heavy rod with
plenty of backbone to wrestle
big fish out of cover with a
moderate action for easier
strike detection.
A must for anglers who
use jigs, nearly any single-
hook bait can be pitched, but
my all-time favorite bait is a
Berkley 4-inch Power Flip-
pin’ Tube. With this Texas-
rigged bait on the line, I face
the target, depress the
line-release trigger and let out
enough line so that the bait is
even with the first guide.
With the bait in my off-
hand and about waist level, I
lower the rod tip toward the
water and put some tension
on the line. In one smooth,
quick motion, I swing the rod
tip toward the target and up-
ward, letting go of the bait in
my free hand. This is all con-
trolled with the wrist-arm
movement is not a factor.
As the bait moves be-
neath the rod tip, release the
line and continue raising
the rod tip and control the
spool with your thumb. The
bait should fly just above the
water’s surface and should
land in its desired location
through a combination of line
tension and rod movement.
Stopping the bait just before it
enters the water almost al-
ways ensures a smooth,
splash-free entry.
Pitching has been a go-to
technique for anglers for
years. But it takes practice.
Set up some drills in the
backyard or anywhere else
you have room. Even if you
can’t be on the water, you can
still be sharpening your skills
to make the next trip a suc-
cess. Learn to make accurate,
quiet casts and pitching likely
will become one of your fa-
vorite ways to target big fish.
