Vernonia School Board Meetings are held on
the second Thursday of each month. The next
School Board Meeting is scheduled for
March 8 at 6:00 pm in the Schools Library.
A deer tag that’s
good for three months
statewide and a Leupold ri-
fle scope valued at $690 are
among the prizes 22 lucky
hunters have won for tak-
ing part in the 2017 Take a
Friend Hunting Contest.
The contest was
launched in spring of last
year to encourage expe-
rienced adult hunters to
take out other adult friends
and family members who
had never hunted before
or hadn’t gone in several
years. (While ODFW has
a variety of programs en-
couraging hunters to men-
tor youth in the sport, the
contest was a way to in-
centivize mentoring among
adult hunters.)
A total of 1,546
people signed up for the
contest (773 entries of two
hunters, the mentor and the
mentee).
The contest was
part of larger ODFW ef-
forts to raise awareness
of the benefits of hunting
among Oregonians and en-
courage more participation
in the sport. Through their
purchase of hunting licens-
es and equipment, hunters
fund wildlife management,
research, habitat restora-
tion, and other work that
