Hurst wins poM nwsthon
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - Annika
Sorenstam missed a 30-foot birdie
putt, sending her into an 18-hole play
off Monday against Pat Hurst at the
U.S. Women's Open. Moments after
Sorenstam's miss, Hurst made a superb
par save from short of the 18th green,
holing a 5-foot putt that ended a mara
thon Sunday at Newport Country Club.
Both finished at even-par 284.
Michelle Wie, the 16-year-old from
Hawaii, was tied for the lead with six
holes to play until failing to save par from
a bunker on the 13th hole, then settling
for pars the rest of the way. She closed
with a 72 and tied for third with Se Ri Pak
and Stacy Prammanasudh.
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) - JJ. Henry

Wildlife division seeking
input on protected species
Special to the HHJ
SOCIAL CIRCLE - The
Georgia Department of
Natural Resources, Wildlife
Resources Division seeks
public input on the proposed
status of species that have
been nominated for addi
tions, deletions and status
changes under Georgia’s
Wildflower Preservation Act
and Georgia’s Endangered
Wildlife Act.
In addition, WRD seeks
public input on a proposed
rule authorizing the collec
tion of state protected cray
fish species for fishing bait.
The WRD is carrying out
the first comprehensive revi
sion of Georgia’s list of pro
tected plants and animals
since 1992.
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 listing status of each
species will be based upon
the best available scien
tific data and public input.
Through regulations, the
Board of Natural Resources
will make the final deci
sion on which species will
be added to or deleted from
the list.
During the initial public
input period, WRD received
nominations to add 148 spe
cies, delete 13 species, and
change the status of 42 spe
cies on the list.
In consultation with
experts both within and
outside of the agency, WRD
biologists have reviewed all
available scientific and com
mercial data and have made
a preliminary determination
regarding the status of all
nominated species.
These proposed statuses
are listed in the attachment
and are posted at www.geor
giawildlife.com (Nongame
Plants and Animals Page).
Some species that were
nominated for addition to
the list will not be listed
in the attachment because
WRD determined that data
did not merit listing or con
cluded that the status of
these species could not be
accurately determined given
existing information.
These species are listed
immediately after the pro
posed protected species rules
in the attached.
“Because this list has a big
influence on the conserva
tion priorities of WRD and
other conservation organiza
tions, it’s important that it
be based upon the most up
to-date biological informa

tion” said Mike Harris, Chief
of the Nongame Wildlife and
Natural Heritage Section of
WRD.
Overall, 122 species are
proposed for addition to
the list, 17 are proposed for
removal from the list, and
39 species that are currently
on the list have been pro
posed for a change in status.
The relatively large number
of species being added to
the list reflects increasing
threats of habitat loss or
degradation due to develop
ment, non-native species, or
other factors.
The discovery of new rare
species in the state has also
led to some of the proposed
listings.
Delistings have been pro
posed for various reasons,
including the discovery of
additional populations and
the abatement of specific
threats.
Some species, such as
the eastern cougar and
the Bachman’s Warbler,
were removed from the list
because they have been
extirpated from Georgia.
“Species like these illus
trate why we have to redou
ble our efforts to protect
Georgia’s rare species and
habitats for future genera
tions” said aquatic zoologist
Brett Albanese, who is coor
dinating the species revision
process for WRD.
Other species are proposed
for a change in protection
category (e.g., from threat
ened to endangered) because
of new information on their
conservation status in the
state.
The WRD is proposing to
add several rare crayfish
species to the state’s list
of protected animals. WRD
biologists and other crayfish
experts acknowledge that
the collection of these spe
cies for bait is not a threat
to their conservation.
Habitat loss, invasive spe
cies, and naturally small
geographic ranges are the
primary threats to these spe
cies.
The limited distribution,
low population size, and
habitat requirements of the
species proposed for state
listing make it unlikely that
anglers will collect them for
bait.
However, because anglers
could collect these species
and because it is often diffi
cult to differentiate the pro
posed protected crayfishes
from more common species,
WRD believes
that is necessary to autho
rize collection. “We don’t
want anglers to be wor
ried about violating the
