SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT
FOR FOREST PROJECTS
CORVALLIS
—
In
response to the two-year reau-
thorization by Congress of the
Secure Rural Schools and
Community Self-
Determination Act in April,
the Siuslaw National Forest is
soliciting project proposals to
be funded under Title II of the
act.
The federal legislation
encourages individuals, non-
profit organizations, local gov-
ernments, and others to pro-
pose projects that restore
watersheds, decommission or
maintain roads, control nox-
ious weeds, or otherwise
improve the condition of the
Forest.
Proposed projects need not
be implemented on Forest
Service lands, but must show a
benefit to national forest
resources.
Project proposals are due
electronically by 5 p.m., July
2.
Application forms, instruc-
tions, and submission guide-
lines can be found online at
www.go.usa.gov/38CbB.
“The reauthorization of
Secure Rural Schools is excel-
lent news for the Oregon coun-
ties and numerous communi-
ties that partner with the
Siuslaw National Forest,” said
Jerry
Ingersoll,
Forest
Supervisor of the 630,000 acre
forest.
Eligible project proposals
submitted to the forest will be
reviewed by the Siuslaw
Resource
Advisory
Committee, a balanced and
diverse group of stakeholders
representing local communi-
ties, industry, recreational
interests,
environmental
groups, elected officials, and
more.
Following their review in
September, the committee will
supply Jerry Ingersoll with a
list of projects recommended
for funding.
“The resource advisory
committee is a crucial part of
the process of funding projects
under the Secure Rural
Schools Act,” said Ingersoll.
“We recruit continuously for
energetic and interested people
that represent the diversity of
our state and community.
Please let us know if you are
interested in serving.”

Commission sets big game tags, coho seasons
SALEM — The Oregon Fish
and Wildlife Commission
adopted 137,015 controlled
hunt big game tags for this
fall’s hunting season earlier
this week during a meeting in
Salem. Draw results will be
available June 20.
The commission also con-
sidered changes to the 2016 big
game hunting regulations.
While it won’t make a final
decision until the October
meeting, the commission indi-
cated support for most staff
proposals including:
• A new Special Opportunity
and Premium Hunt series that
would offer an opportunity to
draw an additional deer, elk or
pronghorn tag with a longer
season. These tags would be
very limited but available in
most areas. Tags would be allo-
cated through the regular con-
trolled hunt draw process but
would not use preference
points.
• Changing renewal period
for hunters with a disability
permit from every two years to
every five years.
N EW
• Conducting new and con-
tinued cougar target areas to
reduce cougar damage to live-
stock, limit human safety prob-
lems and reduce impacts on
ungulate populations.
Units still under considera-
tion are: Melrose, SW
McKenzie/NW Indigo, South
Paulina/N Wagontire, Steens
Mtn, Warner and Interstate.
• Increasing Wenaha any-
bull rifle and archer tags to 40
(from 35), a reduction from
original staff proposal to allow
45 tags. (Hunts #256Y1 and
256R1.)
The commission heard pub-
lic testimony in favor of lighted
nocks for archery hunters and
indicated support for the con-
cept, and has asked staff to
ensure the concept is consistent
with existing statutory authori-
ty.
The commission also set
wild coho salmon seasons for
the
Siuslaw,
Tillamook,
Nestucca, Siletz, Yaquina,
Alsea, Umpqua, Coos and
Coquille basins, Beaver and
Floras creeks and Tenmile
The rule prohibiting exces-
sive contact in high school bas-
ketball has been expanded to
include all ball-handlers on the
court, include post players.
This revision in Rule 10-6-
12 and a new signal for offi-
cials were recommended by the
National Federation of State
High School Associations
(NFHS) Basketball Rules
Committee at its recent meet-
ing in Indianapolis, Ind.
Both changes were subse-
quently approved by the NFHS
Board of Directors.
Last year, the rules commit-
tee added Article 12 to Rule 10-
6 in an effort to eliminate
excessive contact on ball-han-
dlers and dribblers outside of
the lane area. Beginning next
season, excessive contact on
any ball-handler will be a vio-
lation of the rules.
The new language states that
“a player becomes a ball-han-
dler when he/she receives the
ball. This would include a play-
er in a post position.”
The acts that constitute a
foul when committed against a
ball-handler are a) placing two
hands on the player, b) placing
an extended arm bar on the
player, c) placing and keeping a
hand on the player and d) con-
tacting the player more than
once with the same hand or
alternating hands.
“The current rule covers the
ball-handler/dribbler situations
but ignores the action that goes
on in the post area with the
hands, arm bars, etc.,” said
Theresia Wynns, NFHS direc-
tor of sports and officials. “The
additional language will clarify
that the illegal acts should be
ruled for every position on the
floor.”
The rules committee also
approved a new signal to be
used after a basket is made and
when there is a stoppage in
play. The signal will be used by
officials to indicate that the
team in-bounding the ball may
run the baseline.
This signal would be used to
restart play when a time-out is
called or an injury occurs after
a made basket.
In addition to these changes,
the
Basketball
Rules
Committee approved four
points of emphasis for the
2015-16 season: post play,
ROSEBURG – Pacific har-
bor seal pupping season is in
full swing on the Oregon coast.
The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife advises
beach goers to stay away from
seals and sea lions resting on
rocks or beaches.

rebounding, protecting the
free-throw shooter and NFHS
mechanics and signals.
The committee noted that
new information has been
added to the rules book that
addresses cleaning up post play
and urged fouls to be called
when violations occur.
In addition, the committee
emphasized that illegal tactics
related to rebounding should be
called since these violations are
among the leading causes of
injury in high school basket-
ball.
Protecting the free-throw
shooter is another area of
emphasis for next season. The
committee noted that the rule
change last year allowing a
player occupying a marked
lane space to enter the lane on
the release of the ball by the
free thrower calls for added
protection of the free-throw
shooter.
The final point of emphasis
concerns the use of NFHS
mechanics and signals.
“Communication is vital to
the game of basketball, to the
officials and all others involved
in the game,” Wynns said. “It is
essential for officials to master
and use only the NFHS-
approved mechanics and sig-
nals.”
The rules committee also
devoted significant time to
updating the NFHS 2015-17
Basketball Officials Manual.
Wynns said the revised pub-
lication will be improved and
expanded to include diagrams
helpful to new officials as well
as the more experienced ones.
A complete listing of the
basketball rules changes is
available on the NFHS website
at www.nfhs.org.

Sports” at the top of the home

According to the 2013-14
NFHS High School Athletics
Participation Survey, basket-
ball is the third-most popular
boys sports nationwide with
541,054 participants and sec-
ond-most popular girls sport
with 433,344 participants.
In terms of school sponsor-
ship, it ranks No. 1 for both
boys and girls with 18,126
schools for boys and 17,754 for
girls.
A harbor seal mother often
leaves her pup on shoreline
rocks or the beach while she
feeds in the sea.
“The pup isn’t stranded, and
human activity around it can
discourage the female from
returning to feed and care for
her pup,” said Susan Riemer,
marine biologist.
At this time of year,
California sea lions are migrat-
ing south to breed for the sum-
mer, stopping to rest on Oregon
beaches.

ously sick or injured, people

Mammal Stranding Hotline at

In other business, the
Commission:
• Allocated 2016 tags to the
big game auction and raffle
program.
• Approved funding for
Access and Habitat projects
that provide hunting access or
improve wildlife habitat.
• Set the July 2015 - June
2016 commercial seasons for
coastal pelagic species. Under
federal regulations for the
2015-16 season, there will not
be a directed sardine fishery off
the west coast due to very low
numbers in the latest stock
assessment.
• Approved $1,328,936 in
funding for 17 fish enhance-
ment and restoration projects
recommended by the Fish
Restoration and Enhancement
Board.
The Commission is the poli-
cy-making body for fish and
wildlife issues in the state.
It usually meets monthly.
The next meeting is sched-
uled for July 27 in Salem.

lakes (Siltcoos and Tahkenitch
lakes remain open under per-
manent regulations).
Due to low projected returns,
the Nehalem River will be
closed to wild coho harvest in
2015, though anglers will be
able to harvest hatchery coho
thanks to an existing hatchery
coho program on the river.
Daily and seasonal bag lim-
its in open areas will be similar
to recent years.
However, because fewer
Endangered Species Act
impacts are available in 2015,
seasons in some basins will be
shorter than in 2013 and 2014.
All proposed coho fisheries
must be reviewed and
approved by NOAA.
The 2015 Coastal Coho
Fishing Regulations will be
posted on the ODFW website
by late June.
For the first time in several
years, there will be no emer-
gency regulations for coastal
fall Chinook. Anglers should
refer to the 2015 Oregon Sport
Fishing Regulations booklet
for those seasons.
