Class offered on stove safety is this Saturday Many homes in the North Ma- son area rely on wood products for heat, but if a woodstove is not properly installed or properly used it can become dangerous to a per- son's home and health. When wood does not burn com- pletely the fire produces heavy smoke which, in turn, causes re- spiratory problems. That has been an increased problem for some lo- cal residents this winter due to the season's extra-cold weather bring- ing on increased wood-burning - and the increased air-quality prob- lems from improperly functioning woodstoves. To address that problem, the Tahuya River Community Club is sponsoring a class on the safe use Fishing rules are changed by state (Continued from page 1.) Other rule proposals approved by the commission include: • Prohibiting green sturgeon re- tention statewide. • Requiring anglers fishing on the Columbia River from Bonnev- ille Dam downstream to the Ham- ilton Boat Launch to stop fishing for sturgeon once they've retained their daily limit of one. • Closing Murray Ceek in Pierce County to fishing. THE COMMISSION, however, did not adopt a proposal that would have expanded a catch-and-release steelhead fishery in the Skagit River and another that would have prohibited the use of lead sink- ers weighing a half-ounce or less at Ferry and Swan lakes in Ferry County and Pierre and Bonaparte lakes in Okanogan County. In other business, the commis- sion approved a measure that will allow more flexibility for hunters with a disability to hunt near the roadway and adopted a North of Falcon policy, which provides di- rection to fishery managers in de- fining annual non-treaty salmon fishing seasons in Washington. In addition, the commission re- ceived reports on a number of dif- ferent topics, including low levels of dissolved oxygen in Hood Canal, the status of Dungeness crab in Puget Sound, recreational halibut fisheries, the status of pinto abalo- ne in Washington, the Landowner Hunting Permit Program and WD- FW's marine fish culture policy. of fireplaces, woodstoves and pellet stoves.
