OUTDOORS BRIEFLY NEWS & NOTES: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.: "Bad year for black bears on the central Oregon coast
State wildlife biologiosts blame human feeding of bears and a poor berry crop for the worst year in memory for bear damage in the Florence-Yachats area. Eight bears had to be killed along the central coast within a single week earlier this month, bringing the year’s total to 15. Six of the bears were public safety risks due to their aggressive behavior — one broke through a kitchen window looking for food and another charged growling and snarling into a backyard toward a homeowner. The other two bears killed tried to break into a pen where a goat had been killed the previous week. All bears killed were seen repeatedly in the daytime and were not wary of people."

WHAT HAPPENED ON THE LVH EMERGENCY NET?
At 7:00pm sharp, Sunday... Tom Roederer initiated the first ever Longview Hills Emergency Network... This is something designed to help you folks get comfortable sending and receiving on your radios...
When we have a NET everyone gets to talk to the net control. That means you get to turn on and set your radio and then have a brief conversation with the net control.. As you do that you are learning by doing... The very best way. If you take the time to do this every week... You will get proficient at it... You will be able to do it in an emergency.
Why?
Even the least of emergencies cause foul ups by loss of power, followed by loss of telephones and cell phones... It has happened here briefly and this year in Lincoln City for 3 days... on just a wind storm power failure...
With your little FRS radio you can be in touch with your neighbors without any power, telephones or cellphones... and in touch with the Longview Hills Emergency Response Team who monitor them 24/7.
Did you also know that several on the Emergency Response Team have become HAM (Amature Radio Operators) and are part of Lincoln County Emergency Services. They can just about contact anybody anywhere with their HAM radios. They did that for you! So, with your radio you can rely on in an emergency you have contact folks in the park that can get word out to wherever it has to go...
Hope to hear you on the NET next Sunday at 7pm sharp... Be there!
