Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2016 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 9 Local & Entertainment OTEC Youth Tour and scholarship apps out It is that time of year again when Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative (OTEC) begins to seek scholarship and Wash- ington D.C. Youth Tour applicants within our four county service territory of Baker, Harney, Grant and Union counties. These are two great opportunities for our local students. OTEC Scholarships Starting November 1, high school students, return- ing students, and adults entering educational and technical programs can apply for OTEC’s an- nual scholarship program. OTEC will award a total of 28 scholarships: two linemen scholarships and 26 academic scholar- ships. Each scholarship is $5,000 and eight of the 26 academic scholarships are earmarked for returning college students. Washington D.C. Youth Tour Starting November 7, current high school students in their junior year can apply for a one-week, all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 2017 Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The trip will be held from June 9 – June 15, 2017. Bebe’s word search To apply, students can visit their local OTEC of- ﬁ ce after November 1 – or go to http://www.otecc. com/community/com- munity to download the applications. The deadline is 5 p.m. on January 13, 2017. Scholarship and Youth Tour recipients will be notiﬁ ed mid-April, 2017. Funding for OTEC scholarships and the Washington D.C. Youth Tour come from unclaimed capital credits and their earnings. They do not af- fect electric rates. Possible delays on 395 Travelers along U.S. Highway 395 in the Herm- iston area may experience some trafﬁ c delays over the next couple weeks as contractors work to address The minor issues with their pavement resurfacing proj- ect that was constructed earlier this year. Sections of pavement around some man-holes and in-street valves between SW 4th Street and Theater Lane will be adjusted to create a smoother ride. About a mile south of U.S. 730 work will also occur.
