until 1968 that our female

then, they only had a few

Impaired boaters can

Oregon, the consequences
of being convicted of BUII
include the possibility of
jail time, $6,250 in fines,
loss of boating privileges

In 1969, Jacobson’s track
points placed the Siuslaw
girls’ track team 4th in
state. On the boys’ side,
Tim Savage scored 6 points
for the Siuslaw boys, tying
them with my alma mater
War-renton with 6 points
behind their sprinter Bob
Graves. Both teams tied for
25th place.
I did not know Mary
Jacobson, but I did know
some good girl athletes at
Warrenton. I am sure their
frustration over the in-
equality of opportunities to
compete would have mir-
rored those of Jacobson.
So much was happening in
the world during the late
60s, the concern of female
ath-letes was put on hold.
Once legislation passed,
in less than a decade most
schools had plans for equal
athletic facilities, practices,
competitions, transporta-
tion and coaching.
Th anks to this, my three
girls were able to compete
for Siuslaw High School —
and compete they did!

Officers have already
arrested three people for
BUII this year and at least
two fatalities appear to
have involved alcohol or
drugs.
“Overall,
recreational
boating is safe if boaters
wear life jackets, boat sober
and keep a sharp lookout.
Waterways are becom-
ing more crowded with a
variety of mixed boating
and other activities, so it’s
important to pay attention
to what’s going on around
you and to follow the navi-
gation rules of the road.
“If boaters changed two
things; wear life jackets
and abstain from impair-
ing substances, accidents
would be rare,” says Henry,
who adds that Oregon is
already facing a high num-
ber of boating fatalities this
year just from cold water
and life jackets not being
worn.
“We really want to keep
alcohol and drugs out of
the mix, or we’ll be at re-
cord high fatalities for
2020,” says Henry. “We
want to ensure that boating
remains safe and fun.”
Henry goes on to say,
“The public is our ally in
safe boating. If you see
an impaired operator or
someone who is operat-
ing in a way that threatens
others’ safety, call 911 and
report it.
“That’s how we can work
together to save lives.”

SILETZ RIVER: sum-

Chinook, cutthroat trout-
Summer steelhead fishing
has been slow so far this
year on the Siletz River.
High water and cooler
temperatures have disrupt-
ed the typical migration
pattern of these fish and
they are starting to move
throughout the system
with the recent warm and
dry conditions. Expect
things to be a little later
this year and fishing to
improve in the next couple
weeks as the river drops
and warms up.
Spring Chinook fishing
has also been slow so far
this year but a few fish are
being caught in the lower
portions of the river.
Anglers are reminded that
the bag limit has been
changed to 1 fish per day
and 1 for the year.
