The Daughters of Neptune Help to fit over 300 Lifejackets at the PCC Structurals National Parks Wellness Expo and Family Day!

It is great to see the Daughters of Neptune program moving forward with events to promote Lifejacket awareness and Water Safety! They had a great time working on this event and have already been invited to do similar events to help fit kids lifejackets at other large employers family days next year. The girls are excited to continue their community outreach and education opportunities. Upcoming events include MCYC, DYC and CRYC's Ladies nights as well as the Halloween Cruise at Sand Island. Thanks to the leaders and parents of these girls for helping to make it all work!

The New Sand Island Shelter is nearing completion and we are told that Clubs and Organizations of CRYA will be able to reserve the building for events!

As promised after using the old CRYA shelter for wood storage, we have been told that we will be able to use the shelter when it is complete. If you haven't seen all the work being done it is very impressive! We of course need to make sure we clean up after ourselves as well as honor all of the current island rules since the camping area is typically very full which is a good sign for future improvements on the island such as water and power. At some point the docks may also become a pay system similar to the St. Helens City docks. It is a small price to pay for all the enhancements and security improvements that have been established.

Boating Temporarily Restricted on Green Peter Reservoir

The Oregon State Marine Board filed a Temporary Administrative Order with the Oregon Secretary of State to:

Amend

OAR 250-020-0240

Effective: 08/08/2023 through 8/25/2023

Filing Caption: Temporary boating restriction on Green Peter Reservoir in Linn County, OR

Need for Rule: The U.S. Forest Service is currently conducting efforts to suppress fires in the area affected by this temporary rule. The fire suppression crews and partner agencies including the Linn County Sheriff's Office have indicated that boaters in the vicinity of the fires are making transportation of water from the river to the fires difficult. This temporary rule is necessary so that the fire suppression crews are able to work effectively and so that boaters are not endangered by the suppression activities.

Rule Summary: Boating is temporarily restricted on Green Peter Reservoir in Linn County due to fire and fire suppression activities in the area.

Thank you,

Jennifer Cooper, Executive Assistant

Oregon Establishes an Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Removal Program!

After so many years of working hard to address the problems of Abandoned and Derelict Vessels a program is going to be started to address the issue, and was considered an Emergency! House Bill 2914 - Chapter 419, (2023 Laws): Effective date July 27th, 2023. There were many organizations and individuals that helped to keep this on track. CRYA, Waterfront Organizations of Oregon (WOOO), Stan Tonneson owner of Rocky Pointe Marina and Treasurer of WOOO, MCSO and many others. Our goal now is to help get some focus as to where to apply this money for ADV removal and goals for the future as it is meant to be a long term program and continued funding is needed so a source needs to be determined. But, it is a great success that it has gotten this far. More to come as the program begins to take shape and roll out.
