This time of year is typically the most produc- tive. Recent rains and big tide should help to move new fish into the lakes. The West Lake Boat Ramp at Siltcoos has been close for repairs but there is a neighboring private ramp that can be utilized. Look to fish near the lake outlet and by the major See NAB FISHING 4B L EAGUE STANDINGS As of 1/29/16 It was a longtime coming, with the Viks getting close with near wins against Marshfield and Brookings in the last two weeks, but the Vikings put it all together Tuesday night on the road at Douglas. Though Siuslaw hasn’t fared well against a man-to-man in the past, the team’s confidence gained in recent games translated into smarter passing and patience in its motion offense. The Trojans led the entire first period, due mostly to their ability to drain the long 3-pointer, with 12 of their 20 points coming from beyond the arc. Trailing 20-10 with 40 seconds remaining in the period, the Vikings got a boost from senior Preston Mitchell, who sank his own trey to keep Siuslaw within seven points heading into the second quarter. Sophomore forward Jakob Hickson sank a quick bucket to begin the period, kicking off a 6-0 run that brought the Viks to within one point, 20-19, after an offensive rebound by sophomore post Trent Reavis. With 3:00 remaining before the half, Douglas sank its first basket of the quar- D OUGLAS ter, with Viking sophomore forward Jared Brandt closing the gap to within two points, 22-20. The Trojans were able to edge ahead on a basket and a pair of free throws to end the half and keep a narrow 26-20 lead. Coming back from the break, Mitchell scored on a short jumper, only to have Douglas sink a 3-pointer to stay ahead 29-22. Reavis, who went on to score 12 points in the game, nabbed his second offensive rebound, bringing Siuslaw within five, 29-24. Mitchell, who eventually closed the night with 23 points, drained a 3-point- er, then managed a steal and fastbreak layup to tie the game at 29. As the Viks controlled the boards, limiting the Trojans to single shot attempts with rebounding from seniors Reese Siegel and Scott Gordon, as well as Brandt and Hickson, Siuslaw nabbed its first lead of the game on an offensive board from Reavis that made it 31-29. Douglas answered at the other end to tie things up. Mitchell struck again with 30 seconds remaining, giving Siuslaw a 33-31 lead to start the final quarter. The Trojans went back to the outside, sinking a 3-pointer to move ahead by one point.

But nonfatal injuries in the fishery appear to go largely unre- ported, a new study from Oregon State University shows. “While the fatality rates in the Dungeness crab fleet have been report- ed in the past, the incidence of nonfatal injuries have not been previously stud- ied,” said Laurel Kincl, an assistant professor of environmental and occu- pational health and safety in the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences. “The commercial Dungeness fishing fleet, which operates along the coast of Oregon, Washington and Northern California, is a vital economic com- modity,” she said. “Injuries can be life- threatening and life-altering, leading to disability, decreased quality of life and lost wages.” Understanding the type and nature of fatalities and injuries, including describing and categorizing the types of injuries, is the first step in identify- ing safety issues and pinpointing areas for prevention, she said. Kincl and a team of researchers examined 12 years of death and injury data, and found that 28 people died while commercially fishing for Dungeness crab from 2002-2014. In that same period, 45 injuries were See STUDY 3B HOST S WEET H OME 5:45 P . M . • SHS BOYS BB HOST S WEET H OME 7:15 P . M . • MHS GIRLS BB AT E DDYVILLE 5:30 P .
