Fall salmon season to kick off with mixed forecast The popular Buoy 10 fishery at the mouth of the Columbia River opened Aug. 1, with a mixed forecast for Chinook, coho and steelhead returns. The biggest change for the 2017 fall season are restrictions on steelhead retention which include area-specific, 1- to 2- month steelhead retention clo- sures and a one-steelhead bag limit when retention is allowed. Facing low expected returns of upriver summer steelhead, fishery managers adopted a series of “rolling closures” that progress upriver following the steelhead return to reduce the take of both hatchery and wild fish. All steelhead (hatchery and wild) must be released as fol- lows: • Buoy 10 upstream to The Dalles Dam during Aug. 1-31 • The Dalles Dam upstream to John Day Dam during Sept. 1-30 • McNary Dam upstream to Hwy. 395 during Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 Night angling is also prohib- ited except for registered anglers targeting Northern pikeminnow. A total of 614,000 Chinook are expected to enter the Columbia this fall, which is slightly less than last year’s Air quality ‘unhealthy’ as wildfire smoke lingers Smoke from an early morn- ing fire near Mt. Pisgah pushed air quality monitors in Eugene and Springfield to the “Unhealthy” levels. Wi l d f i r e smoke is more promi- nent this time of year, and the high tem- peratures have elevat- ed fire dan- ger around the state. “Residents who are sen- sitive to pol- lution form smoke are advised to use cau- tion when participating in out- door activities,” said Jo Niehaus, spokesperson for the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency. “We are expecting more smoke impacts this week as winds shift. People may see some improvement on Friday, as onshore wind flows are pre- dicted to increase,” they contin- ued. Fine parti- cles from smoke called PM 2.5 are easily inhaled and enter the bloodstream and lungs. It can aggravate existing respi- ratory and car- diovascular conditions and is especially harmful to children and sen- iors. LRAPA's monitors are updated hourly.

Fine particles from smoke called PM 2.5 are easily inhaled and enter the bloodstream and lungs actual return of 642,000 return- ing Chinook. The Buoy 10 fishery is the first Columbia River area that will encounter returning fall salmon. Effort and catch in other sec- tions of the mainstem will build as the season progresses. Chinook retention seasons will vary by area to remain within harvest quotas. See Jim for your auto sales needs! Timeout from 1B The more competitive situa- tions an athlete is faced with, the better and more instinctive their critical decision making will be on the field or court when it matters most. Playing multiple sports in high school is one way to demonstrate athleticism and build the experience necessary to make good decisions under pressure. Athletes specializing too early can limit the development Olympians from 1B certification program prior to Special Olympics coaches. All told, there are 14 Olympic-type sports sanctioned by Special Broncos from 1B work hard to remain respectful of Old Town merchants, tourists and residents. The big event is the Show and Shine at Three Rivers, from 10 a.m. to noon. All the participating Broncos will be of well-rounded experience in addition to increasing the potential of injuries caused by overuse of certain muscles groups. Little League pitchers, (until recent rule changes) were often over-pitched. You see very few little league pitchers throwing at the Major League Baseball level. In addition, specializing in a sport can lead to isolation from other athletes as well as burn out. Playing other sports is like cross training; it utilizes other muscle movements to prevent overuse injuries. Encouraging your child to play multiple sports improves their athleticism while, at the same time, improving the chances of success for other teams — especially in a small school. Oftentimes, high school ath- letes may not even play their high school position once they reach college. I was a quarterback and line- backer in high school, yet played safety in college, setting a school record for intercep- tions. And though I played only five baseball games in high school, I was named MVP for pitching my senior season at Pacific University. As the new school year begins, try not to put all of an athlete’s dreams into one bas- ket. When good athletes compete in multiple sports it benefits themselves, their school, and their communities. They will also add to their athletic resume for the future. Olympics and held over the course of three sports seasons each year, with 8,000 partici- pants throughout Oregon.
