SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 2015 Sheriffs offer boating tips The duties of a boat opera- tor and passenger involved in a boating crash are not much different from the duties of an operator or passenger involved in a motor vehicle crash, but there are a few differences. An operator of a boat involved in a boating crash must stop their vessel immedi- ately at the scene of the inci- dent and: • Give assistance to anyone injured in the crash • Give his or her name, address and identifying num- ber of the vessel as well as the names and addresses of pas- sengers to the other vessel's operator and/or passengers Witnesses to a boating crash must give their names and addresses to the operator, pas- sengers, or injured person. The operator or owner of a vessel involved in a crash must file a written report to the Oregon State Marine Board if: • A person dies, disappears or is injured and receives med- ical treatment. • Damage to the vessel and other property exceeds $2,000. Reports of crashes involv- ing only property damage must be made within 10 days of the incident. However, you must file an accident report within 48 hours in cases involving a death, disappear- ance or injury. Passengers are responsible for reporting the crash if the operator is physically inca- pable of doing so. People failing to comply with these requirements can be cited and even arrested with fines reaching $6,250 and imprisonment of up to one year in jail.

FRESH CRAB 3 B SWC to discuss algae health risks tonight The Siuslaw Watershed Council (SWC) will host a presentation by Dr. Tim Otten of Oregon State University on source tracking and public health risk assessment for blue- green algae blooms in lakes and downstream water bodies. New scientific tools and data will be described which have expanded our knowledge on the distribution of toxins and health risks beyond the fresh- water lake sources to connect- ed waterways and even ocean estuaries. The subject is of particular interest as the season approach- es for early fall warm-water lake blooms. In addition, Paul Burns with the Siuslaw National Forest will provide a progress update for the major habitat restora- tion project underway on the Fivemile and Bell Creek tribu- A NNUAL D UNE F EST The Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce, along with Polaris, will present DuneFest 2015, today, July 29 through Sunday, Aug. 2.

THE KRAB KETTLE 280 Hwy. 101 (2 Blocks N. of Bridge) Florence MONDAY-SUNDAY 10-6 • 541-997-8996 Can’t understand all their technical mumbo jumbo? There are many bicycles on today’s roads. More people are using bicycles as a means to commute for entertainment and for exercise. Some of the more common reasons include low cost to operate, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, and exercise. Motorists should remember these tips when sharing the road with a cyclist: • A bicycle is considered by law to be a vehicle. When a cyclist has stopped and remains astride their bicycle at an inter- section and/or for a traffic sig- nal, they are to be treated as a vehicle waiting for their turn to proceed. • Many children riding bicy- cles on the street may lack the necessary training and skills for safe cycling. They may not be aware of all dangers. • Be alert for small children on oversized bicycles. This may increase the likelihood for loss of control. • When passing a cyclist, go around them like you would any other vehicle. Leave lots of room. • When you are preparing to make a right turn, watch for cyclists who may pull up alongside your vehicle. Remember to shoulder- check your blind spots. • When you are about to make a right turn, do not pull up beside a cyclist and then turn directly in front of them and cut them off. • When pulling away from the curb, always check for cyclists who may be trying to pass you. • When parked at the curb, always check for cyclists before you open your vehicle door. It’s the driver’s responsi- bility not to open the vehicle door into traffic. • Do not follow too close behind cyclists. They do not Brought to you by this newspaper in partnership with We’ll be nice and clear. PUBLIC NOTICES Always in your newspaper: Now in your inbox, too. Gail Leslie, Au. D. Sandi Ybarra, Au.

Since they are more exposed to traffic on left turns, they will need extra consideration, especially on multi-lane roads. • Cyclists are required to ride as close as practicable to the curb, however they may need to ride further out when they have to steer away from drainage grates, pot holes, debris, loose gravel or sand, wet or slippery surfaces, rutted or grooved pavement and even dogs. Be aware of the roadway conditions that may affect a cyclist. • Do not sound your horn unnecessarily when you are overtaking a cyclist. It may startle them and cause them to lose control. If you feel that you must use your horn, tap it quickly and lightly while you are still some distance away from the cyclist. Cyclists should also remem- ber that, when they are riding their bicycles on streets and highways, they are considered by law to be a vehicle. Therefore they are required to obey all the rules of the road, which apply to other (motor- ized) vehicles, plus those that apply only to bicycle operators. Cyclists using the streets and highways should: • Never ride against traffic. It is one of the leading causes of crashes, accounting for 15 to 20 percent of all crashes with cars. • Keep both hands on the handlebars except when mak- ing a hand signal. • Keep both feet on the ped- als. • Not carry more people at one time than the bicycle was designed for. • Not hold onto, attach them- selves, or attach the bicycle to any other moving vehicle. • Only ride side by side on the road with another cyclist when it does not impede other traffic. If traffic doesn't have enough room to pass you safe- ly, ride single file. • Ensure the bicycle is equipped with at least one white light to the front and a red light and or red reflector mounted on the rear of the bicycle when riding between sunset and sunrise. • Ensure the bicycle has effective brakes. — Lincoln County Sheriffs Sports first child of an eligible coach is free and each additional child is $25 for the sport in which the parent or guardian coaches.
