SPORTS HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL Department updates protected species list « Special to the Journal The Georgia Board of Natural Resources has approved the state’s first comprehensive revision of its protected plant and ani mal lists since 1992, based on the recommendations of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. These lists specify what species are protected under Georgia’s Wildflower Preservation Act and Georgia’s Endangered Wildlife Act, and are increas ingly used to help prioritize funding for conservation and research on rare species. The update includes add ing 121 species, deleting 18 species, and changing the status of 43 species that were already listed. Many of the new additions are plants, as well as numer ous crayfish and freshwater mussel species. The changes were made based on scientific data submitted by members of the public and biologists. Prohibitions specified in the Endangered Wildlife Act and the Wildflower Preservation Act can be used to deter the illegal harvest of plants and animals. While habitat loss is the most severe threat to most of Georgia’s rare species, cer tain species such as turtles or crayfish face a very signifi cant threat from over-collec tion. Georgia law specifically states that rules and regula tions related to the protec tion of state protected species shall not affect rights in pri vate property. Prohibitions are limited to the capture, killing, or selling of protected species and the protection of the habitat of these species on public lands. BEATS From page iB not without a little help from a Tift County defender who was called for pass interfer ence. Mark Wright Jr. then com pleted passes to Brandon Jordan, Grant and Antwan Hamilton to get them all the way to the Blue Devils 5. Three plays from that spot, however, yielded little - not even a third-and-one helped - so they brought in David Clark. He kicked a 23-yard field goal to make it the final score, 17-10. That came with 1:29 left to play Warner Robins attempted an on-sides kick following but the Blue Devils were able to recover it. The Demons’ defense helped them get another chance, however, with seconds left, but that threat ended on an interception. The loss means the Demons (5-3 overall), Tift County (7-1 overall) and Lowndes are all tied atop Region 1-AAAAA with identical 3-1 records. FALL From page iB seventh-inning rally Thursday in the opening game in Columbus against Woodstock High. Warner Robins was unable to overcome the top-ranked Wolverines, falling 5-3. Senior Amber Conlon got the win against Houston with 11 strikeouts in seven innings. Collins Hill had just one clutch hit against Warner Robins junior Kristen Graham. It was a ball that, according to coach Brenda Arnett, got caught in the wind and sailed over her outfielder’s reach. Two runs would score, and it was all Collins Hill would need. “We didn’t hit at all,” said Arnett, summarizing her team’s offensive output. The Demonettes and the Bears, both with state cham pionship seasons in slow pitch softball, made the Elite Eight for the first time in fastpitch. Houston County lost to Peachtree Ridge 9-4 in the opening round Thursday.
