SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 2017 3 B Summer salmon, steelhead seasons set by ODFW Oregon and Washington fishery managers have announced the 2017 summer and fall salmon and steelhead seasons for the Columbia River. The summer season is simi- lar to last year, except that the daily bag limit on hatchery steelhead has been reduced to one fish due to poor expected hatchery and wild steelhead returns. The season begins this Friday, June 16, with a daily bag limit of two adult salmonids, which may include up to two hatchery Chinook, but no more than one hatchery steelhead. Sockeye may also be retained as part of the adult daily limit. The season is expected to remain open through July 31. Fishery managers are fore- casting a return of 63,100 sum- mer Chinook and 130,700 sum- mer steelhead, and 198,500 sockeye salmon, all lower than last year’s actual returns. The fall season, which begins Aug. 1, includes the popular Buoy 10 fishery near Astoria and the fall “upriver bright” Chinook season in the mainstem Columbia. Upriver bright Chinook are well known for their larger size and aggres- sive nature. Fishery managers forecast that 582,600 fall Chinook will enter the river this year, which is down from about 640,000 returning fall Chinook in 2016. Due to the low projected returns for upriver summer steelhead, additional protective regulations are needed this fall including area-specific steel- head retention closures. The rolling 1-2 month closures start in August and progress upriver following the steelhead return to reduce take of both hatchery and wild fish. These closures affect the mainstem Columbia and the lower reaches of specif- ic tributaries. When retention is allowed, the 1-steelhead bag limit will also remain in effect through- out much of the fall. Anglers are reminded that Columbia River fisheries are managed to quotas and that regulation changes and in-sea- son modifications can happen quickly, based on actual returns and harvest rates. ODFW rec- ommends that anglers make sure they understand the latest season dates and regulations before venturing out on the water by checking the Columbia River Regulations Update Page www.dfw.state.or. us/resources/fishing/reg_chang es/columbia.asp online.

Tips • Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. • Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors. • Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. • Check on your animals fre- quently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat. How to Treat Heat-Related Illnesses During heat waves people are susceptible to sever- al heat-related conditions. Here’s how to recognize and respond to them: Heat Cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms that usually occur in the legs or abdomen. Heat cramps are often an early sign that the body is having trouble with the heat. • Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable position. Lightly stretch the affected muscle. • Give an electrolyte-con- taining fluid, such as a sports drink. Water may also be given. Heat Exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is a more severe condition than heat cramps. Heat exhaustion often affects athletes, firefighters and con- struction workers. It also affects those wearing heavy clothing in a hot, humid environment. • Signs of heat exhaustion include cool, moist, pale, ashen or flushed skin; headache; nau- sea; dizziness; weakness; and exhaustion. • Move the person to a cool- er environment with circulat- ing air. Remove or loosen as much clothing as possible and apply cool, wet towels to the skin. Fanning or spraying the person with water also can help. If the person is conscious, give small amounts of a cool fluid such as a sports drink or fruit juice to restore fluids and electrolytes. Give about 4 ounces of fluid every 15 minutes. • If the person’s condition does not improve or if he or she refuses water, has a change in consciousness, or vomits, call 9-1-1. Heat Stroke: Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that usually occurs by ignoring the signals of heat exhaustion. Heat stroke develops when the body systems are overwhelmed by heat and begin to stop func- tioning. • Signs of heat stroke include extremely high body temperature, red skin which may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breath- ing; confusion; vomiting; and seizures. • Heat stroke is life-threaten- ing. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you believe someone is suffer- ing from this condition. • Rapidly cool the body by immersing the person up to the neck in cold water, if possible OR douse or spray the person with cold water. • Cover the person with bags of ice or cold, wet towels. • If you are not able to meas- ure and monitor the person’s temperature, apply rapid cool- ing methods for 20 minutes or until the person’s condition improves.
