Newspaper Page Text2B COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Aug. 10, 2016 Fish and Wildlife commission sets 2017 sportfi shing regulations The Fish and Wildlife com- mission adopted 2017 sportfi sh- ing regulations at its meeting in Salem last week. The majority of the changes are housekeeping corrections building on last year’s effort to simplify the regulations. A few more signifi cant changes are: The portion of the Lower De- schutes River that borders the Warm Springs Reservation will be open April 22-Dec. 31 (re- verting back to regulations in effect prior to 2016). Multiple Lower Columbia tributaries will only be open to the harvest of hatchery salmon to protect wild tule fall Chi- nook. The majority of salmon in these areas are hatchery fi sh so this change is expected to have minimal impact on fi shing opportunities but will provide necessary protections for listed wild fi sh. New regulations and an up- dated map will more clearly designate the fi shing areas in Herman Creek located in the Columbia River Zone. Additionally, the Commis- sion approved funding several Restoration and Enhancement Projects, which enhance fi sh production or provide more public access to fi shing waters. Approved projects included a new youth fi shing pond in Camp Sherman, where the Commis- sion directed staff to continue working with the local commu- nity to address their concerns. It appointed Rod Moore to the R and E board as the Seafood Pro- cessor Representative. The Commission was also briefed on the work to date of the Joint Interim Task Force On Funding for Fish, Wildlife, and Related Outdoor Recreation and Education and the Wolf Plan Re- view. ODFW wolf program staff will be back before the Com- mission Oct. 7 in La Grande to discuss the primary planning issues that will be addressed in an updated Wolf Plan, and again on Dec. 2 in Salem with a draft Plan. Public testimony will be taken at both the October and December meetings. Final plan adoption is not expected to oc- cur until 2017. Finally, the Commission ad- opted mule deer and elk man- agement objectives (MOs) as proposed by staff. Many of Or- egon’s 67 wildlife management units have a winter population MO (the number of mule deer or elk desired in the unit during the winter) and a buck and bull ratio MO (the ratio of buck mule deer or bull elk observed per 100 females after the hunting season).MOs are not the maxi- mum number of animals a unit can support, but a compromise to maintain deer and elk num- bers at levels compatible with primary land uses, limit damage to private property while maxi- mizing recreational benefi ts (hunting and wildlife viewing).

Household rules are the groundwork for concerned parents. With its “5 to Drive” initiative, NHTSA re- minds parents to set i ve crucial rules before teens hit the road: • No cell phones while driving; • No extra passengers; • No speeding; • No alcohol; and • No driving or riding without a seat belt. Additionally, teens should stay of the roads at night, if at all possible. Teenagers look for- ward to getting their driver’s license — a real rite of passage. h e collective goal of society should be to decrease their risks so that they will have a bright future full of ample op- portunities to hone and perfect their driving skills.
