T he Council resolution supports the ef fort to secure funding to establish and maintain the markers. The BIA, Oregon D e partm ent o f Transporta tion, and Parks and Rec reation are possible fund ing sources, Calica said. VFW and American Le gion fundraising is another possible source. O re g o n Sen. T ed Ferrioli and U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden are in support o f the Tribal Veterans Memo rial Highway designation, Calica said. Movin’ Mountains entries will remain $25 per person, and divisions will include, like last year, men’s and women’s in d iv id u al c o m p e titio n s , men’s and women’s teams o f four, and two-person mixed teams. Last year, 328 people took part. O ne element that is new this year is that people who w ant to participate in both individual and team competi tions m ust pay separate entry fees o f $25. Participants can compete in up to two events. The essence o f the com petition— judging on a per centage o f w eight lost and inches from the w aist and hips— will remain the same as it has been. To create m ore winners, individual male and female competitions will have weight classes, to be determined af terweigh-ins. O rganizers plan to have essentially the same number o f people in each class, so the classifications will not be determined until weigh-ins. Check out the full-page ad on page 12 for more details.
