2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 Comment period on proposed camping rate hike ends today SALEM — The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is propos- ing amendments to agency rules related to overnight camp- ing rates for state parks. A $2 per site increase in the base rate for overnight rental fees on select types of camp- sites was approved by the Oregon Legislature as part of the 2017-19 OPRD budget. The deadline for public com- ment on the amendments was extended to today, Sept. 15. The proposed rule will increase the base rate for yurts, Little from 1B influence on choices by young people to use drugs. Their parents drink, smoke or use drugs. Maybe their friends use drugs. Even advertisements encour- age its use while television and movies oftentimes avoid the negative side of drug use. Season from 1B as well as fewer opportunities for other fisheries, have led to more boats and anglers fishing for bottomfish this year. “It’s been a poor salmon sea- son and tuna haven’t really made a strong showing within range of most recreational cabins, full hook up, partial hook up, hiker-biker, equestri- an and group sites. Tent site rates will not increase, which maintains a lower cost option for park visitors.

After reviewing public com- ments, agency staff plan to present a final recommended rule for consideration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission at its Wednesday, Sept. 20 business meeting. If approved by the Commission, new rates would be effective on new reserva- tions made after Oct. 1, 2018. A competitive athlete will make the decision to avoid drugs because, to put it simply: Drug use destroys trust. In 1968, two teammates on my basketball team were caught drinking. Instead of dis- missal from the team, which was our handbook penalty, the coach had them run 100 laps to punish them. Team unity disintegrated. They were good players but untrustworthy. In 1972, a teammate of mine offered me an upper before a game. I looked him in the eye and told him adrenaline was the only upper I needed. Also in 1972, during a four- game winning streak, we were playing the College of Idaho there. The drinking age was 18, and several players snuck out to drink. We won 56-38 but our four- game shutout streak ended. Two years after a friend of mine started smoking, I chal- lenged him to a race an agreed that if I lapped him within a mile, he would quit smoking. I wanted to show him how quickly his endurance left as a result of smoking. I lapped him in just three laps. And he quit. He still thanks me 40 years later as he and his wife compete in pickle ball tournaments in Arizona. In 1992, I arrived home from playing golf. I drank some beer while playing. Once home, I was greeted by my three girls. We hugged. Then, when they went into the kitchen, my girls asked their mother why Daddy’s breath smelled bad. I overheard and did not drink any alcohol for the next 20 years. Dedicated and trusted ath- letes will make smart choices. They will not jeopardize the potential success of their team. When they look in the mir- ror, the one and only person responsible for their choices will be looking back at them. anglers,” said Sommer. “This increased fishing pressure on bottomfish, and anglers had a lot of success pursuing these species.” Additionally, Oregon’s black rockfish harvest quota was reduced 10 percent this year after a 2015 federal stock assessment. While the stock was deter- mined to be healthy, the asses- sors also determined that in order to keep the population healthy in the long term, lower harvest levels were necessary. ODFW’s marine researchers are developing additional meth- ods to provide data for future assessments of black rockfish and other nearshore species that will help the assessments accu- rately reflect Oregon’s stocks. Several ocean fishing oppor- tunities remain available, including: • Flatfish, such as sanddabs and petrale sole (not including halibut, which are considered separately). • Crabbing in oceans and bays, which has been excellent lately. • Nearshore halibut between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mt. (until Oct. 31 or until the quota is reached). • Halibut south of Humbug Mt. (until Oct. 31 or until the quota is reached). • Tuna, which are starting to come closer to shore in south- ern Oregon now. • Ocean salmon, which is open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. through Oct. 31 for all salmon except coho (beginning Oct. 1, all anglers fishing for salmon or with salmon on board are restricted to inside the 40-fathom line).
