Early Friday morning a staff of over 40, mostly woman working during the election, began the tadious task of processing the 5,613 absentee ballots to ba added to the 142.872 cast at the polls Tuesday a weak ago. In addition all write-in ballots ware hand- counted. The election division computers don't recognize such "candidates" as Mickey Mouse or Sirhan Sirhan--so election officials add these to the absentee ballots which have to ba punched for their computers also. Gummed. taped. bant, crumpled and torn ballots are brought to the reproduction room at the Multnomah County Election Division office where these three woman prepare exact duplicates to run through the ''read er." That's the computer system which counts the 148.485 ballots cast in the May 18th primary election. Photos by C.

The low tides offer a unique op portunity for the public to see tide- pool plants and animals. But it also brings a warning from an Oregon State University Extension marine education specialist. “ I encourage people to visit the tidepools during these low tides. But remember while you ’ re there that tidepools are fragile places and their animals and plants can be easily de stroyed by thoughtless or careless acts,” said Don Giles, head o f the public education program at the OSU Marine Science Center in New port. Extreme low tides are predicted along the Coast in the morning hours from June 18 to 26 and July 17 to 25. Lows o f minus 3.1 and minus 3 feet are expected on June 22 and 23, representing the lowest predictions on record. T id ep o o l conservation is best served by practicing a few basic rules, according to Giles. F or instance, he encourages people to touch the animals. But if you pick them up, be sure to return them to the same spot where you found them. Tidepool animals are adapted to specific areas and tide levels w ith in the in te rtid a l zone. They will die if left elsewhere. M any tidepool creatures are shy and rem ain hidden underneath rocks. For instance, purple shore crabs and kelp crabs are rarely seen unless you turn over rocks to find them. I f you do turn rocks over, make sure you replace them in their orig inal position before you leave, Giles says. And as difficult as it may be to re sist the urge, don’t remove any ani mals away from the tidepool areas. “ Slipping one turban snail in your pocket destroys as much as 25 years o f developm ent and li f e , ” Giles said. Sea stars— more popularly known as starfish— have been the unfortun ate victims o f many souvenir hunt ers. Unless properly preserved, says Giles, they turn into dry, shriveled and smelly wastes that are hardly a pleasant memento o f a visit to the beach. M ost sea stars taken fro m the tidepool area end up in the garbage can, Giles said. M any people who plan to preserve them discover that preservation is complicated and ex pensive. “ The best way to take home tide- pool animals is on color film ,” Giles said. M oreo ver, Oregon law restricts the collecting o f non-food animals in intertidal areas. It is unlawful to waste or destroy any tidepool ani mal at any time. Protected anim als include sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, snails, and shore, hermit and other small crabs.

Permits can be obtained at the OSU M arine Sci ence Center in Newport. When climbing around the rocky tid ep o o l areas, be sure to watch your step. N o t only are seaweeds slippery, but one misplaced footstep can destroy tidepool life , such as a sea urchin, that took five to eight years to develop. I f possible, Giles recommends avoiding intertidal areas that have been overused. H aystack Rock at C annon Beach Y a q u in a Head at N e w p o rt, and Sunset B ay-A rag o near Coos Bay have been heavily visited and as a result only the hardi er, more inconspicuous animals re main. I f left undistrubed, damaged tide- pools take 5 to 10 years to recover. Some plants and anim als take as many as 25 years to reestablish themselves. “ By observing some basic rules o f conduct, people can have an enjoy able time at the tidepools and pre serve their n atu ra l riches for others,” Giles said.
