Honorable Mention

Honorable mention goes
to Viking Basketball’s

Recent flood conditions means boaters should be extra cautious
Recent historic snowfall fol-
lowed by warmer, wet condi-
tions have set up the perfect
scenario for potential flooding
on area rivers.
With flooding comes debris
flows with trees, root wads, and
other material that can impact
the safety of boaters on the
water. The Oregon Marine
Board and marine law enforce-
ment strongly urge boaters to
take the following precautions:
• Make sure the boat ramp is
open for launching.
The Marine Board is work-
ing closely with facility man-
agers and will include closure
information on the Boat
Oregon Map.
• Scout the river before run-
ning it. Rivers are dynamic,

er attire.
• Boat with others and stay
within sight of one another.
• Know your limits and how
to self-rescue. Be sure your
skills and experience are equal
to the river and the conditions.
• Fill out a digital float plan
and print out a copy to let oth-
ers know where you are boat-
ing and when to expect your
return. The digital form, when
submitted, sends an email to
the Marine Board that can be
used later to aid marine law
enforcement should a boater
need help.

ODFW: Hunters need to report on deer, elk tags to avoid penalty

time. Boulders and logs move,
trees fall and currents shift.
When in doubt — scout and
portage out.
• Wear a life jacket. Given
the water temperature and
equally cold air temperature,
boaters are encouraged to wear
a properly fitting life jacket on
the outside of their cold weath-

Meet Karma
Hello, I’m Karma and I would love to be your
loyal companion. The best way to get to know me
is to come spend some time with me at the shelter.
It takes some patience, because I am a little anxious
around new people, but I will warm up to you once I
know that you are there to see me, and especially if
you have a few treats! Over time I bond very closely
to one person, and see it as my job to be near you
and be your constant, loyal companion. This means
that I will adapt best to a single-person household
where I can have you all to myself.
If you have the patience to take the time to get
to know me and let me get to know you at my pace,
I will be your most loyal and constant friend. I love going on walks, or relaxing around the house - as
long as you are with me I am happy. I am very smart and respond well to verbal commands, and want
nothing more than to please my person. If you would like to meet me, or fi nd out more about me,
please call the shelter.

Hunters who fail to report
2016 deer or elk tags on time
will be penalized $25 when
they purchase a 2018 hunting
license. This
penalty
is
assessed once, regardless of the
number of unreported tags.
As of Jan. 10, about 53 per-
cent of elk tags and 51 percent
of deer tags had been reported
for hunts with a Jan 31 report-
ing deadline. ODFW will be
sending reminder postcards to
hunters who haven’t reported
yet later this month.
“The information hunters
provide is needed to evaluate
hunting seasons and tag num-
bers,” said ODFW Game
Program
Manager
Tom
Thornton. “We really appreci-
ate hunters taking a few min-
utes of their time to complete
the report.”
ODFW used to get this data
through phone surveys but
these became more difficult
and expensive as hunters
moved or screened their calls.
The mandatory reporting
program was put in place in
2007 so these calls could be
phased out.
A penalty of $25 was added
four years ago because even
after several years promoting
the program and providing
incentives to report, only about
40 percent of tags were being
reported on time.
The funds generated by
penalty fees are being used to
increase Oregon State Police
patrol and enforcement of win-
ter range closures in Oregon.
