SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2019 | 3B Viks from 1B narrowly escaping an early pin. In the second round, it was Hayden’s turn to put Natanee on her back, and Natanee would not be able to avoid the pin.” Yoskar Delamora and Arrianna Brown also post- ed strong performances, placing third in their varsi- ty weight-classes, earning the Viks 16 and 12 points Laws from 1B Taking a boating safety course and carrying a boat- ing safety education card is now required when operat- ing a motorboat over 10 hp, regardless of when the boat was purchased. A new boat owner will need to take an approved boating safety education course and carry a boater education card before tak- ing the boat out for a spin, for the Viks, respectively. “Yoskar defeated three Californians after a hard- fought loss in the semi-fi- nals on his way to the con- solation championship,” Wartnik said. “Arriana recorded her first varsity wins at this tournament and wrestled with great composure and tenacity, pinning her last two oppo- nents.” Elijah LaCosse placed fourth, earning the team 22 points. “His bracket was loaded with exceptional wrestlers,” said Wartnik. “He had a 4-2 record. In his consolation finals match, LaCosse nearly avenged a loss the previous week to Matthew Bolanos of Crater. The final score was 10-8, but there were a number of questionable refereeing judgments in the match, said Wartnik Regardless, it was a major improvement over his performance at the Coast Classic.” Wartnik also praised Ryan Jennings and Matthew Horillow. Though Renning didn’t place, he went 4-2 at the tournament and continues to improve, Wartnik said. Horrillo earned the team 5 points, coming back to the mat after missing the two previous tournaments with knee and ankle inju- ries. In Grants Pass, Horrillo made it to the champion- ship round but lost in a tie breaker. “In JV action, Ian Sissel paced the team with a championship in the 160- lb. weight class,” Wartnik said. “He pinned his way through the tournament, pinning five opponents. He is off to an exceptional start, having won two 30-team JV tournaments this year.” Cayden Gray and JC Henry both placed fourth for their weight classes. Siuslaw will be traveling to Bend this Saturday, Jan 4, for the Bend Invite, which includes teams from Sisters, Willamette and Mazama. The tournament begins at 10 a.m. just like a motor vehicle requires a valid driver’s li- cense. Most states have some form of mandatory edu- cation requirement and out-of-state boating safety education cards are accept- ed; however, if the resident state doesn’t have boating safety education, the boat operators will need the Or- egon boater safety educa- tion card. The mandatory educa- tion program was first en- acted in 1999, so the pro- gram is now 20-years old. • The definition of reck- less boating was updated to reflect the motor vehicle code. The Marine Board and the courts can now suspend a boating safety education card if the opera- tor is convicted for reckless boating or boating under the influence of intoxicants (BUII). Suspensions allow for up to one year for convictions of reckless boating and 1-3 years for BUII. On another note, the fine was reduced for not carrying a proper- ly fitting life jacket from a Class B violation ($265) to a Class D violation ($115), to mirror a seat belt infrac- tion in the motor vehicle code. • Motorized boat titles and registrations were in- creased by 33 percent, or $1.45, and fees are com- bined into a flat fee based on boat length. Title fees will increase to $75 and the boating safe- ty education card will in- crease to $20. Replacement boating safety education cards will increase to $16. • The Waterway Access Permit replaces the Aquat- ic Invasive Species Preven- tion Permit for non-mo- torized boats 10’ long and longer. Permits are available online through ODFW’s eLicensing Syste- mand beginning Jan. 1, the one- and two-year permits are available through the Marine Board’s Boat Ore- gon Store. There are three permit options: one week (7-days) for $5 (through ODFW), one year for $17, and two years for $30. Rental busi- nesses for non-motorized boats can receive bulk dis- counts for Waterway Ac- cess permits. A portion of the revenue will continue to support aquatic invasive species prevention program and new revenue will support non-motorized boating fa- cility grants to facility pro- viders for improvements or development of non-mo- torized boating access. Non-Agency Legislation: • HB 2652 –“The Hel- met Law,” requires outfit- ter guides to offer helmets (whether for purchase or rent) to customers when recreating on waterways with Class III or higher whitewater rapids. • HB 3168 –Grants au- thority to the Marine Board to make rules for non-motorized lakes pre- viously regulated in statute to allow the use of electric motors at not-to-exceed slow-no wake speed. Since the passage of the bill, two petitions have been re- ceived/noticed for Gold Lake and North and South Twin Lakes, which the Board will consider during its Jan. 22 Board meeting in Salem. • HB 2352 –Creates a towed watersports educa- tion program within the Marine Board and requires an endorsement for boaters who wakeboard and wake surf on the Willamette River between river miles 30–50 (the Newberg Pool). This education require- ment applies to the boat operator who must pass an approved towed water- sports education course (with a minimum passing score of 70 percent) and af- fix a special decal on their boat. The education course will consist of a home study manual (download- able PDF) and a proctored exam held in various lo- cations near the Newberg Pool, the local sheriff ’s of- fice and the Marine Board office in Salem. The cost of the course is $60 and the boat operator may apply for their towed watersports education card and decal for their boat at that time. The decal is spe- cific to the boat. The boat operator must also report the factory loading weight and other manufacturer data to the Marine Board in the decal application. Course and application materials will be available on the agency’s website and the test available at the Ma- rine Board office in Salem by Jan. 1. The Towed Wa- tersports Education Card and decals are valid for two calendar years and must be renewed. There are no additional testing require- ments after first earning the Towed Watersports Ed- ucation Card. • HB 2835 –The bill re- quires state agencies to post notice before restricting or closing a site on state public lands where the public may access floatable natural wa- terways. The bill also re- quires the Oregon Depart- ment of Transportation to notify certain agencies of recommendations to fund bridge projects under the draft Statewide Transpor- tation Improvement Pro- gram and consider public access sites near proposed bridge projects. The Marine Board will be notified by state agency partners of any construc- tion closures and will post this information on the agency’s interactive Boat Oregon Map, which cur- rently shows all of the de- veloped public access sites in the state. Public boating access facilities are owned and operated by city, coun- ty, state and federal entities. With all of these pro- gram updates and fee changes, the agency is working closely with ma- rine law enforcement and other agency partners, rental businesses and facil- ity managers to implement these new laws as smooth- ly as possible and to allow time to coordinate educa- tion and outreach. The OMB said the ul- timate goal is not to cite people, but to educate and improve safety for all water users, protect our water- ways from aquatic invasive species, and understand the impacts of boat opera- tions on shorelines, sensi- tive habitats, and property.
