SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2016 Public asked not to release pet turtles into wild ROSEBURG – A 10-pound snapping turtle recently found at the Yoncalla Water Treatment Plant is a good reminder not to release pet tur- tles into the wild. It’s illegal, and it’s harmful for Oregon’s two native turtles, the Western Pond Turtle and Western Painted Turtle. Snapping turtles, red-eared sliders, and map turtles are not native to Oregon and are often illegally bought, sold or traded in the state. These are the most common pet turtles but are pro- hibited by law in Oregon because they are invasive species. ODFW biologists say inva- sive turtles compete with Oregon’s native turtles for food, basking sites and nesting areas. Many grow bigger and lay more eggs than native tur- tles, and some even predate upon them, hatchlings in par- ticular. Turtles can live 40 to 100 years, and are often released Pick snappers up by the back of their tail, not the sides — their neck is long enough to swing about half their body size. This time of year, female tur- tles are moving to nesting areas. Rick Boatner, ODFW Invasive Species Program Manager has some advice. “If you find a native turtle crossing the road, pick it up and put it on the side of the road in the direction it was heading,” Boatner said. The Western Painted Turtle and Western Pond Turtle are ODFW PHOTO both classified as “Critical” on A 10-pound snapping turtle was recently found in a Douglas Oregon’s Sensitive Species list; state law prohibits killing them County water treatment plant. or taking them from the wild.

Amanda DeTar Broker 541 999-4285 EUGENE — The Eugene Emerald’s, a second-year affil- iate of the Chicago Cubs, will begin their season by hosting the Boise Hawks on June 17, at 7:05 p.m., in their home, PK Park. The team, which has been as unlucky as its big league affiliates, The Chicago Cubs, are confident that this will be their year. Fans can come out to the ball park to help “Reverse the Curse” and start the season with a win. The first 1,000 fans through the Home Plate gate will receive a special edition “Reverse the Curse” T-shirt, presented by Pepsi, and a 2016 playoff voucher. Last year, the Ems failed to reach the playoffs by only a single game. The team hopes to turn around its fortune this season. The opening game will be the first chance for fans to see the newest generation of the Emeralds take the field. Fans will also be encouraged to stay after the game to watch a jam- packed laser light show, pre- sented by Pepsi. During each home game, the Emeralds will feature a local nonprofit through the Kendall Community Spotlight. This program helps shine a light on some of the nonprofits in the Eugene and Springfield area, and bring awareness to all the hard work the organiza- tions do on a daily basis. For Opening Day, Alvord- Taylor will be the Kendall Community Spotlight. Alvord- Taylor works to empower peo- ple with intellectual and devel- opmental disabilities to have quality experiences at home, at work and in the community. To find out more, visit their website or come see them on the concourse at PK Park. The Eugene Emeralds are the short-season Class A team of the Chicago Cubs. In 2015, six of the top 30 Cubs prospects spent time in Eugene, including Ian Happ, Donnie Dewees and Eloy Jimenez.

THE BALL GOLF Ocean Dunes Hi there, I’m Gage and I think I’m a pretty happy guy. My life didn’t start out that great though, I was tied outside for the fi rst couple years of my life. I didn’t get to do much as a young guy so now I’m a little apprehensive of new situations. I love going to the beach though or taking walks through the woods around the shelter. Other dogs are pretty fun too but I don’t like to share my toys or food. I really need a home that understands this and is willing to work with me and be patient. I’ve done some obedience training and when I’m relaxed I do really well and have a lot of fun. I can do sit, down, shake and I will give you a great big teddy bear hug.
