“We have over 200 rods and

Frankhouser of STEP. “We’ll
have Power Bait available and
backup tackle to fix any prob-

STEP will also have a fish
cleaning station, so anglers can
bring their fish to the station
and have it cleaned and
bagged.
There will also be a fish print
T-shirt station for kids to
choose a marine animal to print
on a T-shirt, as well as a prac-
tice casting area.
Children who register when

Take extra precations with camp fires
Sitting around a campfire is
one of the special times we all
enjoy, but campfires are also a
major cause of wildfires. May
is Wildfire Awareness Month,
and Keep Oregon Green, the
Oregon Office of State Fire
Marshal, and the Oregon
Department of Forestry urge
Oregonians to follow these
basic outdoor safety tips:
• Know before you go —
Call your local forestry or fire
district to learn if there are any
current campfire restrictions at
your recreation destination. An
interactive map of Oregon’s
fire restrictions is available at
www.keeporegongreen.org.
• Kick the campfire habit
this summer — Portable camp
stoves are a safer option to
campfires at any time of year.
Areas that prohibit campfires
outside maintained camp-
grounds with established fire
pits will often allow the use of
camp stoves.
• Select the right spot —
Where campfires are allowed,
avoid building the fire near
your tent, structures, vehicles,
shrubs and trees, and be aware
of low-hanging branches over-
head.
Clear the site down to min-
eral soil, at least five feet on all
sides, and circle your campfire
site with rocks. Store your
unused firewood a good dis-
tance from the fire.
• Keep your campfire small
— A campfire is less likely to
escape control if it is kept
small. A large fire may cast hot
embers long distances. Add
firewood in small amounts as
existing material is consumed.
• Attend your campfire at all
times — A campfire left unat-
tended for only a few minutes
can grow into a costly, damag-
ing wildfire. Staying with your
campfire from start to finish
until dead out is required by
state law, to ensure that any
escaped sparks or embers can
be extinguished quickly.
• Never use gasoline or other
accelerants (flammable or
Honorable Mention
Mikaela Siegel
The Viking junior captured the 4A
crown in the 100-meter hurdles,
breaking her own previous school
record with a time of 15.5
seconds. Siegel also finished 7th
in the long jump with a leap of 15’
10 ¼”. Siegel also learned last
week that she had won the Far
West League Triple Jump with a
mark of 34’10” following a protest
at the District Meet in Brookings.

combustible liquids) to start or
increase your campfire. Once
the fire is ignited, wait until the
match is cold and then discard
it in the fire.
• Always have water and fire
tools on site — Have a shovel
and a bucket of water nearby to
extinguish
any
escaped
embers. When you are ready to
leave, drown all embers with
water, stir the coals, and drown
again. Repeat until the fire is
dead out. If it is too hot to
touch, it is too hot to leave.
• Burn only wood — State
regulations prohibit the open
burning of any material that
creates dense, toxic smoke or
noxious odors.
• Escaped campfires are
costly — The Oregon
Department of Forestry spent
more than $3.3 million in 2014
to suppress unattended and
escaped campfires. State law
requires the proper clearing,
building, attending and extin-
guishing of open fires any time
of year.
A first-time citation carries a
$110 fine. If your campfire
spreads out of control, you are
responsible for the cost of fire
suppression. This can range
from a few hundred to thou-
sands of dollars.

Month visit the Keep Oregon
