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

guide the refinement of the
draft plan. 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.

progress of the planning
process and alerts for involve-
ment opportunities, visit www.

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.

The course winds through
Sandpines Golf Links, starting
on the third hole at 4:30 p.m. for
middle schoolers and 5 p.m. for

at Tugman State Park on
Thursday, Oct. 27, for the Far

Fishing

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 all species in streams

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.

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.
PACIFIC OCEAN AND

Hi I am a new addition to OCHS. I came
with the name Tangerine. 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.
