Summer is almost here, which means boating season. See below for boating requirements and have a safe summer
May 9, 2016In Oregon, boaters must have a certificate of title, certificate of number, and validation stickers to operate a motorboat of any length or sailboat longer than 12 feet legally on public waterways. This includes boats that are documented with a recreational endorsement by the U.S. Coast Guard and principally used or moored in Oregon.
Documented boats that have a recreational endorsement do not have an Oregon certificate of title and do not need to display an OR number but are required to register and display a current validation sticker on both sides of the aftermost part of the hull in the upper, square foot, below the deck line. All other recreational boats moored in Oregon are required to have current validation sticker.
The certificate of number, commonly called the “registration card,” is a pocket-sized card that must be on board and available for inspection by an enforcement officer whenever the boat is being operated. The registration number is specific to the boat and is issued with the title and registration.
The registration number (OR#) and validation sticker (decal) must be displayed on the starboard and port side bow of the boat. Once a number is issued, it can be painted, applied as a decal sticker, or otherwise affixed to the bow and placed above the water line so it can be read easily. Numbers are read from left to right on both sides of the bow and must be in 3-inch high block letters (not slanted) and separated by at least 2 inches. Letters must be in a contrasting color to the boat’s hull color or striping. The validation sticker (decal -good for two calendar years) must be affixed on each side of the boat and placed in line. The sticker on the port side is after the OR number and on the starboard side, before the OR number (see illustration). The decal expires on December 31 of the year indicated on the sticker.
The certificate of title, certificate of number and validation stickers (decals) can be obtained by completing an application and submitting the proper fee with documentation to the Oregon State Marine Board. Many boat dealers will submit the documents on your behalf for an agent fee.
Obtaining a title and certificate of number can take anywhere from a month to four months, depending on the boat dealer or other documents that may be needed to complete the transaction.
Failure to have a certificate of registration for documented vessels is a B violation and a $260 fine. Failure for a boat operator to carry a certificate of number is a D violation and a $$110 fine. Boaters can also be cited with failure to obtain a title, a D violation with $110 fine. To learn more about this topic and other legal requirements of boating, visit http://www.boatoregon.com/.

Time is running out for a $50,000 Powerball prize! If you played in Grants Pass, Sisters, or Newport check your tickets now
May 4, 2016The ticket, with the winning numbers of 23-24-27-39 and Powerball of 30, was purchased in Grants Pass on May 6, 2015 and expires at 5 p.m. Friday, May 6 — one year from the date of the drawing. It was the only ticket with a $50,000 prize in Oregon for that draw date. Lottery rules give winners one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
“The odds of winning a $50,000 prize are one in 913,129, so it would be a huge shame if the person who won didn’t claim their prize,” said Patrick Johnson, Lottery spokesman. “Most people who win come in within a month of the drawing. This prize might not be a prize worth millions, but I don’t know anybody would couldn’t use an extra $50,000.”
The ticket was sold in the afternoon of May 6, 2015. The Oregon Lottery doesn’t reveal the exact location the ticket was sold, for ticket validation purposes.
The Grants Pass Powerball win isn’t the only unclaimed ticket. Two other substantial prizes have yet to be claimed, as well.
There is another unclaimed $50,000 Powerball prize, which was sold December 2, 2015 in Sisters. The winning numbers for that ticket are 7-10-46-50-56 with a Powerball of 1. The drawing for the prize was held Dec. 9, 2015 and the player has until Dec. 9, 2016 to claim the $50,000 prize.
Oregon Lottery officials are also waiting for a $1 million Mega Millions prize to be claimed. This ticket was sold on the morning of Jan. 13 in Newport with the winning numbers of 29-41-53-54-70 for the Jan. 15, 2016 drawing. The odds of winning $1 million playing Mega Millions is one in 18,492,204. The player has until Jan. 15, 2017 to claim the prize.
The funds from unclaimed Lottery prizes go back to the state to fund education, state parks, watershed enhancement and economic development.
