Their touring team plays faculties from schools around the northwest. Proceeds for the event w ill go to the Sandy High choir. by PETE HELEY Post Outdoor Columnist A number of experiments conducted recently in Alabama have yielded some interesting results — results that may benefit smallmouth bass and fishermen throughout the country. The experiments indicate that the smallmouth bass is a much hardier fish than was previously believed. The smallmouths were kept in water as warm as 102 degrees, considerably warmer than the 86 degrees thought to be their tolerance level. In fact, smallmouths were also found to be able to withstand In stantaneous changes of 15 degrees in water temperature. Paola’s 29 paces jayvees Mitch Paola fired in a season-high 29 points Friday leading the Sandy High boys junior varsity basketball team to a 68-54 drubbing of Estacada. Paola sank 12 of 15 shots from the field, many on fast break layins ingnited by a swarming Sandy defense. The Sandy sophomore also had three steals. “ Mitch must really love to play Estacada,’’ Sandy JV coach Len Eaton said. “ The last time we played them he penetrated and made 12 of 17 free throws. This time he got the layins. Mitch doesn’t have great speed, but he has excellent timing and good court sense.” The Pioneers cut their fouls to 19 and their tu r Freshman Mike Rohweder regains control of Molalla’s top Haqq 9-4 and novers to 14, both areas of David Haqq in Thursday’s dual m eet Rohweder held on to visiting Indians. concern to Eaton.

The smallmouth were found to exhibit their best growth rates in warm er water during the winter months and in cooler water during the summer months. Although the latter finding could be derived from common sense, it does in dicate that all other factors being equal, w aters having m in o r tem perature variations would have faster growing smallmouths. Closer to home, a lake along the Oregon coast would more likely have faster growing bass than would a lake of equal conditions in Eastern Oregon. Rivers and reservoirs below other bodies of water have often produced the Photo by Mark Floyd helped Sandy to a 32-23 win over the In dual m eet finale Sandy grapplers top Molalla bowling a bout of bursitis after the match and has been bedridden since the weekend.

Bighorn sheep situation improving Twenty Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep have been relocated into the upper Hells Canyon rece ntly, bringing to 34 the number released there the last three winters District wildlife biologist Vic Coggins said the trans plants are p a rt of an ongoing program to reestablish this subspecies of bighorn into the Oregon habitat it form erly occupied The new herd, located in the vicinity of Battle Creek and Hells Canyon Creek, w ill be left on its own to hopefully survive and begin repopulating the Snake River rims. Coggins feels there is an excellent distribution of sex and age classes in the groi<) and he has no plans to transplant any more animals into this particular area. All of the sheep trans planted into Hells Canyon have been ear tagged and fixed with colored streamers so they can be identified from a distance. Four have also been fitted with radio transm itter collars so their movements can be monitored. The Rocky Mountain bighorn was originally native to northeastern Oregon, including the Waliowas and part of the Blue Mountains They were reported as far south as the Strawberry Mountains in Grant County, and were also found in the high breaks of the Snake River canyon. The story of the decline of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Oregon parallels the decline of other wilderness species th a t could not lompete with the coming of civilization During the 1800's large bands of domestic sheep grazed most of the habitat used by the bighorns. Competition for food and a skin disease, scabies, brought in by domestic sheep caused a rapid decline in numbers during the last half of the last century . Hunters who pursued the declining population without reg ula tion for meat or trophies also hastened their extinction in Oregon The last Rocky Mountain bighorn disappeared from the Lostine River Canyon be tween 1941 and 1945 OREGON Fish ft Wildlife The firs t attem pts to reestablish the Rocky M ountain subspecies in northeastern Oregon oc curred in April of 1971 when 20 sheep were picked up from Jasper National Park in Alberta. These were released in Short Creek Canyon a half mile below Hells Canyon Dam on the Snake River. Reproduction was seen for several years but this population had disappeared by 1973. Also during 1971, 20 more sheep were received from Jasper National Park and in November they were released in the Silver Creek Burn on the north side of the Lostine River Excellent reproduction was seen in this group and even after trap ping and transplanting the Ujstine population remains at more than 70. With the observation of 24 rams with horns three- quarter curl or larger, the first limited hunting season was scheduled in the fall of 1978 E ig ht tags were authorized and seven hunters were successful in bagging the trophy of a lifetime. In 1979 six more tags were authorized and all six hun ters were successful Although these sheep summer along Hurricane Divide, they migrate each winter to a small winter range near the site of release. They show no ten dency to spread to new ranges on their own, so it is critical that they be closely monitored and managed within the capacity of this small winter range. In January of 1977, the first sheep were trapped from the Ixistine group near the top of the Silver Creek Bum and 17 were transplanted seven miles to the northeast into the Bear Creek drainage. The move turned out to be temporary as most of the a du lt sheep eventually returned to the trapping site. In December of 1977 eight young sheep were selected from a group of trapped sheep in Silver Creek Bum in hopes they would show less tendency to migrate back, and they were released in Bear Creek, This group remained in Bear Creek until early May but has since returned as the first group did. Last year, 15 Mountain bighorn sheep were received in an ex change with the state of Idaho and were released in the lower Imnaha Three lambs were seen with that group this year providing the first encouraging signs that this group is adjusting to its new home. All the sheep transplant operations in northeast Oregon have been carried out in cooperation with the Wallowa Whitman National F o re s t. E n v iro n m e n ta l analysis of other potential release sites in the Wallowa Mountain area and Wenaha River area is currently underway and it is hopeful that the trap and transplant program w ill be expanded into more areas. very finest smallmouth angling. A prime example might be the Tennessee River below Wilson Dam and above Pickwick I.ake in Alabama. It is generally con sidered the finest smallmouth fishery in the world and the stable temperatures of water released from the bottom of Wilson Dam is probably more important than previously believed. Although Oregon probably w ill never produce 19-pound smallmouths like the Wilson Dam area has, it does contain a number of reservoirs and rivers suitable for smallmouth bass that have fa irly stable w ater tem peratures due to receiving water from the bottom of a deep reservoir upstream. Some of the smallmouths in the study that are kept in warm water in the winter and cooler water during the summer are found to spawn at one year of age. Smallmouths usually spawn at three years. Such a finding could prove extremely important as a fish management tool. Faster-growing smallmouths could be released from hatcheries more quickly, saving thousands of dollars in fish management expenses. Early spawning smallmouths would do the same and enable a hatchery to begin a breeding program more quickly and economically. U ltim a te ly , taxpayers and anglers everywhere would benefit. Maybe the smallmouth would even find a home in a few suitable bodies of water in western Oregon. Roth leads Sandy to state Two individuals and two relay teams from Sandy High School have qualified for the state Class AAA swim meet at Mt. Hood Com m unity College this weekend. The Sandy sophomore also has a 57.0 100-freestyle to her credit which ranks her 10th. Sandy coach Mark Smith said that she w ill probably need a time of 56.0 or better to make the finals. Sophomores Gayle Roth and Jean Crane w ill swim individually for the Pioneers as well as compete on the 409- yard freestyle relay team The two w ill be joined by Bonita Connelley and Teresa Lamer on the relay. The relay team has the 12th fastest time in the state, clocking a 4:02.35 in the finals of the Wilco League D istrict championships to place first. The Pioneers have a faster time to their credit, however, a 3:59. Crane, with a second place district finish, w ill compete in the 500-freestyle at state. Her time of 5:49.3 in the finals has her in 13th position in the state. Crane, with a 5:44.0 to her credit, hopes to challenge the school record in the • 500. That record belongs to Katie Neuenfeldt who clocked a 5:38.0. The Sandy boys w ill be represented by their 400- Roth is entered in the 50 and 100-freestyle events. She won both at district. Roth's time of 25.37 in the district finals has her ranked sixth in the 50 although she swam a 25.1 in the prelims which would put her third. The current state rankings in clude only times recorded in the district finals. Ranked ahead of Roth are Medford’s Susie Ross (24.8) and North Eugene’s Karen Orr (24.96). freestyie relay team. The squad of Glenn Izer, Rick Topliff, Matt Falgout and M ark M ayfie ld finished second in district with a 3:31.1 time, 13th best in the state Smith said the Pioneer team would need to clip four seconds off that to make the consolation finals. Preliminaries for swim ming w ill begin at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22. Diving prelims are Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Finals and consolation fin a ls fo r swimming and diving w ill begin Saturday at 2 p.m. Admission w ill be charged.
