SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2016 L ANE C OUNTY P ARKS With more than 70 parks, Lane County is seeking help from the community to create a comprehensive park and open space system plan that includes creating a long-term vision for County parks and recreation. The planning process has been ongoing. In September 2015 a draft Master Plan was released and many residents provided valuable comments and insights. The next phase is to more formally involve the communi- ty and to create a task force to Sailors from 1B seasons in recent years thanks to their versatility and hard work over the last four years — contri- butions that were evident in last week’s road win at Siletz Valley Brownies from 1B For the last three seasons, sen- ior and defending 4A state cham- pion Celie Mans has been the first varsity girl to taste the brownies.

The task force will meet at least five times between October 2016 and July 2017. Members will be asked to read meeting briefs, review planning documents, address questions, help with communi- ty outreach and assist County staff in making decisions on plan development. “We are excited to start this phase of the planning,” said Parks Advisory Committee member Kevin Shanley. “Our county parks are an incredible resource for everyone in Lane County and we want a plan that reflects the values and the vision of the community. “We hope people feel the same and choose to get involved – either by applying for the task force or providing feedback as we move along.” The task force will include 15 to 22 members. To ensure diverse, countywide represen- tation, 5 to 7 members will be selected based on their experi- ence and ability to represent different county-wide park and recreation interests, such as tourism, natural resource pro- tection, significant agency and community partners, etc. Two representatives will be selected from each of the fol- lowing geographic areas: Coast; Siuslaw (Mapleton); North Valley (Eugene, Springfield, Fern Ridge, Veneta); Mckenzie River/East Lane (Vida); Middle Fork Willamette (Oakridge); and South Valley (Cottage Grove). The remaining members will be selected from the Parks Advisory Committee. Applications for the task force are due by Monday, Oct. 17. Applications are available at www.lanecounty.org/parks- plan. In addition to the task force, there will be several opportuni- ties during the next year to pro- vide feedback, including: an online questionnaire and com- ment forum, public meetings and open houses, and formal review forms.

The current Lane County Parks Master Plan was adopted in 1980. Lane County has pur- sued efforts to update the plan since 2005. The Lane County Parks Advisory Committee released a draft Parks Master Plan update on July 13, 2015. Since that time, the County has sought extensive review and public comment on the draft document. High School. The Sailors racked up 628 yards of total offense against the Warriors, with Simington claim- ing nearly half of those yards while scrambling from the pock- et for 301 yards, scoring 5 touch- downs on 18 carries. He also threw for 122 yards, including a 50-yard bomb to jun- ior receiver Dominic Wells. Defensively, the Sailors were able to contain the normally high- scoring Warriors thanks in part to the efforts of Foster at defensive back, linebacker coverage from Packebush, Simington and Smith, and Doran helping close the curtain on the defensive line. Simington alone had 23 tack- les on the night. Mapleton narrowly defeated the Warriors, 50-46, with this Friday’s final home stand against the Lakers likely to be a barn- burner between Mountain West League rivals with a long history of hard-fought matchups. Factor in a fourth-place tie at 2-1 in league between the Sailors and Lakers, and all the elements are there for a dramatic finish to the high school careers of these five Mapleton seniors. Kickoff for Friday’s final game of the season against Triangle Lake is set for 7 p.m. at Mapleton High School. enth overall, beating out 23 girls and 26 boys in a mixed field of 56 runners from Coquille, Glide, Mapleton, Myrtle Point, Pacific and Reedsport.

Fishing from 1B that from Knight Park boat ramp to Sulphur Creek, until Dec. 31, angling is restricted to single point hook metal lures, fly angling, or salmon bobber angling. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, cutthroat, Chinook The Siletz River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is fair. Trolling herring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber or drifting eggs can be produc- tive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. Consult the regulations for changes in deadline locations through the season. Steelhead fishing is slow. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. Cover water and fish small and simple as the river conditions are low and clear. For cutthroat trout, cast- ing small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective.

For cutthroat trout casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective. Angling for all species in streams above tidewater is open. COOS COUNTY LAKES PONDS: Warmwater fish, AND trout As water temperatures drop this fall warmwater fish will become more active all day long. Bass will be found in deeper water associated with cover, like weed lines or other structure. Plastic worms, shal- low crankbaits, top water lures, and spinner baits are good to use for bass. The fall is typically a good time of the year to catch yellow perch using worms or small jigs fished near the bottom. Rainbow trout are sched- uled to be stocked in several Coos County lakes in early to mid-October. Due to extreme- ly low water levels, Lower Empire Lake will not be stocked. Trout that were des- tined for Lower Empire Lake will be reallocated to Upper Empire and Butterfield lakes. Currently fishing for trout has been decent in the deeper lakes like Eel Lake. Anglers are having success slowly trolling wedding rings. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH : Closed The South Umpqua is closed through Nov. 30 to pro- tect spawning fall Chinook salmon TENMILE BASIN: Trout, bass, yellow perch Trout fishing has been slow in Tenmile Lakes due to warm water. Trout anglers should fish in the deep water and fishing is usually best in the mornings. Largemouth bass fishing has been good over the past month. Anglers are catching bass near structure or on the deep end of the weed lines using spinner baits, jigs, or rubber worms. Top water lures have been effective in the early mornings or evenings. Fishing for yellow perch has been slow in Tenmile Lakes. Anglers fishing along the edge of the weedlines are having the best success. Worms fished near the lake bottom work very well for catching yellow perch. The water level in the lakes is very low so boat anglers should use caution. WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing for bottom fish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful.

Staff had a bit of a hard time calling me by that name so now I have a new name that is a bit shorter and fun! I have some skin issues that I am being treated for, it might be a little bit before I am ready for my forever home, but hang in there- I am worth it. I like other dogs pretty well, if you already have a dog we will have to meet fi rst to make sure we will do well together. Because I’m new all the staff can tell you about me is that I am energetic and they think I am very sweet. I have been taken to a foster home, to meet me fi ll out an application and my fosters will be happy to bring me to the shelter. If you own a dog already they must come in to meet me when your application has been approved.
