SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MAY 28, 2016 3 B Before launching your boat, make sure it’s legal In Oregon, boaters must have a certificate of title, cer- tificate of number, and valida- tion stickers to operate a motor- boat of any length, or sailboat longer than 12 feet, legally on public waterways. This includes boats that are documented with a recreational endorsement by the U.S. Coast Guard and principally used or moored in Oregon. Documented boats that have a recreational endorsement do not have an Oregon certificate of title and do not need to dis- play an OR number, but are required to register and display a current validation sticker on both sides of the aftermost part of the hull in the upper, square foot, below the deck line. All other recreational boats moored in Oregon are required to have current validation stick- er. Friends of Honeyman Park membership drive to begin The Friends of Honeyman State Park is a nonprofit group of citizens who support the park in its educational and interpretive pursuits. This includes hosting, spon- soring or volunteering for events and programs. Honeyman State Park brings more than a million vis- itors to the area each year. During the past year, the Friends of Honeyman have collaborated with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to engage in plant- ing and clean-up projects, edu- cational field trips for stu- dents, “Art in the Park,” “Earth Day,” and “Awakening Peace” events. Future potential projects include an October “Haunted Hayride” and a December “Winter Wonderland” light display. During the month of June, the Friends of Honeyman is engaged in a membership campaign to boost participa- tion and expand activities. Annual membership dues are $10 per household. Those wanting to become a member can call 541-590- 0779 or attend the meeting on Saturday, June 18, at 12:30 p.m., at the Ranger Station Office. The certificate of number, commonly called the “registra- tion card,” is a pocket-sized card that must be on board and available for inspection by an enforcement officer whenever the boat is being operated. The registration number is specific to the boat and is issued with the title and regis- tration. The registration num- ber (OR#) and validation stick- er (decal) must be displayed on the starboard and port side bow of the boat. Once a number is issued, it can be painted, applied as a decal sticker, or otherwise affixed to the bow and placed above the water line so it can be read easily. The validation sticker (decal -good for two calendar years) must be affixed on each side of the boat and placed in line. The sticker on the port side is after the OR number and on the star- board side, before the OR num- ber (see illustration). The decal expires on Dec. 31 of the year indicated on the sticker. The certificate of title, cer- tificate of number and valida- tion stickers (decals) can be obtained by completing an application and submitting the proper fee with documentation to the Oregon State Marine Board. Failure to have a certificate of registration for documented vessels is a B violation and a $260 fine. Failure for a boat operator to carry a certificate of number is a D violation and a $$110 fine.

Sixth annual Siuslaw Open set for September This year the grand prize at the Siuslaw Open is a brand new Ford F150 truck. “All that is necessary is to hit a hole-in- one on the designated hole,” said David Wiegan, tournament co-chair and former golfer. “First, get the distance cor- rect, then hit it straight. It’s a piece of cake — Well, almost,” said Wegan. Johnston Motors is once again the hole-in-one contest sponsor at the sixth Annual Siuslaw Open. This year, the event will be held at Ocean Dunes on Saturday, Sept. 10, with regis- tration starting at 9 a.m. Also new this year is a $5,000 putting contest. One entrant will be selected at ran- dom and will have one try to sink a 60 foot putt. “This one is a lot shorter, and is even easi- er,” Wiegan said. The tournament is one of the main fundraisers for Siuslaw Outreach Services. Last year netted more than $7,000 for th Splash. Funds raised support all SOS programs, including advocacy for victims of domestic/sexual violence, low-income families, emergency assistance and basic needs for homeless persons. The entry fee is $89 per player or $320 per team, and this year there is an early regis- tration discount. The fee will be $79 per play- er or $290 per team if received by Aug. 26. Dinner will follow golf and prizes will include golf pack- ages, gift certificates at Maple COURTESY PHOTO Brian Johnston of Johnston Motors (left) with Bob Teter of Street Grille and other great Siuslaw Outreach Services next to the hole-in-one grand restaurants, and many other prize available at this year’s Siuslaw Open golf tourna- prizes.
