2B | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS ODFW INCREASES DAILY BAG LIMIT FOR ANGLERS The daily bag limit for gen- eral marine fish (rockfish, greenlings, skates, etc.) has been increased to 5 fish by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. The bag limit for marine fish had been reduced to 4 on July 1. That smaller bag limit reduced the catch of black rockfish and nearshore rock- fish species (China, copper, quillback rockfish) enough that the bag limit can now go back to 5 fish. Yelloweye rockfish is still tracking high, said Lynn Mattes, ODFW recreational groundfish project leader. However, she added, the Pacific Fishery Management Council is projecting enough unused yelloweye rockfish for the Oregon recreational bot- tomfish fishery to proceed. The fishery will also go back to all-depth beginning Oct. 1 as planned. This will allow anglers in the popular deepwater lingcod fishery to fish throughout the fall and winter, Mattes said. Bag limits will remain the same with 5 general marine fish, 2 lingcod, 25 flatfish and 10 fish in the longleader fish- ery (retention of 8 rockfish species allowed). Cabezon remains closed for the remainder of the year. A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town. THE OLD SCHOOL FURNITURE STORE OFWC ADOPTS FISHING , BIG GAME HUNTING REGULATIONS SALEM — The Fish and Wildlife Commission met this past Friday, Sept. 14, in Bandon at the Bandon Community Center. The Commission adopted big game hunting and sport fishing regulations for 2019. The major changes adopted for big game hunting are relat- ed to an effort to simplify reg- ulations first announced in late May 2018. 'As adopted by the Commission, the 2019 regula- tions will allow mechanical broadheads for big game archery hunters and reduced the required bow draw weight for some big game species. Staff proposed the changes to simplify regulations and allow hunters to choose equipment based on performance and their own personal preference. The Commission also adopted 2019 Sport Fishing Regulations at the meeting. The changes further simpli- fy salmon and steelhead sea- sonal regulations. There are also changes that increase the possession limit from two to three daily limits for trout and warmwater fish; and standard- ize striped bass regulations by removing all size and bag lim- its statewide. For more details on pro- posed changes by zone see Little from 1B heard he usually bragged about us while drinking coff ee down- town on Saturday mornings with his friends. I knew my parents watched me in my games. I also knew there was at least one other person watching me and all my teammates. Th at person was our video cameraman. His fi lms would allow our coach to detect good and poor play from the game. Mark Bosket has videotaped for the Siuslaw varsity football team for more than 30 years. He traveled to all games and his tapes gave coaches Len Lutero and Tim Dodson the Waived from 1B Public Lands Day participants volunteered at over 2,600 sites across the nation, contributing Mapleton from 1B the set close with serving from Michael and sophomore Taylor Winona. Unfortunately, the Mustangs were able to narrowly defeat the Sailors, 25-22, before com- pleting the sweep with a 25-17 win in game three. Exhibit C of the Commission packet on www.odfw.com. During the sportfishing regulations portion of the meeting, the Commission also considered a petition to pro- hibit retention of wild winter steelhead throughout the Southwest Zone. The Commission denied the peti- tion and directed staff to develop a multi-species con- servation plan. The Commission reduced the bag limit to one wild steelhead per day and three per year on all streams in the Southwest Zone that currently have an annual bag limit of five wild steelhead beginning Jan. 1, 2019. Additionally, the Commission denied a petition to initiate rulemaking which could result in listing the Humboldt marten as endan- gered or threatened under the Oregon Endangered Species Act. Staff recommended deny- ing this petition, as it does not provide scientific evidence to substantiate claims of current threats and that Humboldt marten populations are in decline. In 2017, the Oregon Legislative Assembly directed ODFW to create a program to offer big game preference points in lieu of a cash reward for people providing informa- tion leading to citations or arrest of poachers.' The Commission approved administrative rules for this program, which were devel- oped by ODFW, Oregon State Police and Oregon Hunters Association (the sportsman organization that administers the Turn In Poachers pro- gram). Under the adopted rules, people that provide informa- tion leading to an arrest or citation may choose to receive five preference points in cases of unlawful take, possession or waste involving moose, moun- tain goat, bighorn sheep and wolves and four preference points for cases involving bear, cougar, deer and elk. Lastly, the Commission approved an amendment to a memorandum of understand- ing with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation regarding off-res- ervation hunting; funded sev- eral access and habitat projects (which open private land to hunting access or improve wildlife habitat); and modified licensing rules so they are in keeping with ODFW’s new Electronic Licensing System launching Dec. 1, 2018 for the sale of 2019 licenses. 1550 HWY 101 & 6TH 541-997-9424 Monday - Saturday 10-6 FREE FLORENCE DELIVERY NEW FURNITURE ARRIVING WEEKLY FROM GREAT MANUFACTURES ASHLEY / BEST / COASTER / PERDUE / CORSICANA DESKS/OFFICE CHAIRS CURIO CABINETS BOOKCASES/LAMPS MATTRESSES/BED SETS SWIVEL ROCKER RECLINERS ELECTRIC RECLINERS SOFAS/COFFEE TABLES DINETTE SETS LIFT CHAIRS WE LOVE SPECIAL ORDERS FLORENCE SAW SHOP & RENTAL CENTER MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER WITH HONDA.

In short: the fi lm showed whose was getting the job done. At Pacifi c University, the video camera person was Mrs. Buckiewicz, the coaches’ wife. I can remember seeing her on the roof of the Pacifi c Lutheran grandstands as it moved up and down in the wind. Providing fi lm for coaches can be challenging and hazard- ess. Mr. Bosket and Mrs. Buck- iewicz remind me of the mail- man’s credence “Th rough rain, sleet and any place I need to be, I will fi lm this game and deliver it to the coach.” As a player, I knew there would be eyes on me. If I did not play hard, I would know it aft er the game from those eyes. It might also come from the eye of the camera. Either of those sources could let me know of my eff orts. Th e biggest judge for my eff orts was who I looked at in the mirror. I knew more than anyone else whether or not I gave it my all. As athletes from Siuslaw and Mapleton take to the fi elds, courts and courses this year, keep in mind people who care about you are watching you. Th ey will pat you on the back and console you for your eff orts. Yet the mirror you look into will tell you the truth; someone important to you is watching. $18 million in public land improvements.
