2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2017 Representative sought for ODFW fish restoration program board SALEM — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking qualified applicants to fill a soon to be vacant sport fishing position on the Fish Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) Program Board. Interested individuals must apply by July 31, using the application at www.dfw.state. or.us/fish/RE/docs/board/2014/ RE_Board_Application_10- 2014.pdf. The appointment for the position will be effective on Jan. 1, 2018. The ideal Sport Fishing Representative candidate will be a resident of Oregon that is able to effectively represent the sport anglers of Oregon. Desirable attributes include involvement with local fishing groups or fish management, previous experience with boards or commissions, and knowledge of, or involvement with, the diverse sport fisheries across Oregon. The Fish Restoration and Enhancement Program was cre- ated by the Oregon Legislature in 1989 to help fund fish restoration and enhancement projects throughout the state. The program is funded by a surcharge on sport and com- mercial fishing licenses and commercial poundage fees and is overseen by a seven-member citizen board made up of three sport fishing representatives, three representatives from the troll, gillnet and seafood pro- cessing industries and one pub- lic-at-large representative. The Board reviews grant proposals from various organi- zations and agencies and rec- ommends projects for funding. Board members, who are appointed to four-year terms by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, meet three or four times each year in various com- munities throughout the state to review project funding applica- tions, hear public testimony, act as liaisons between the pro- gram and the public and to con- duct other program business. Board members are volun- teers; however, board-related business expenses are reim- bursed. For more information and to obtain an application, go to the R&E Program website at www .dfw.state.or.us/fish/RE/board.a sp or contact Kevin Herkamp at 503-947-6232 or Kevin.Her kamp@state.or.us. ODOT offers travel tips as eclipse nears Coach from 1B rifice as much as it was about commitment. In a few weeks, fall athletes will begin their journey into the 2017 seasons of football, volleyball, cross country and cheerleading. For many fresh- men or first-year athletes, it will be their first experience — for them as well as their parents — of high school sports. Before showing up for daily doubles in August, par- ents and student athletes should ask themselves an important question: Are you ready for the dedi- cation and commitment responsibilities that come with your chosen sport?

If everyone jumps on the highways all at once right after the eclipse, no one will go very far very fast. Remember: All travelers have a shared responsibility to stay safe.

Away games may not start for hours after lunchtime, so we always packed two lunch- es to make sure our kids had energy. We also set — and enforced — a curfew for ade- quate sleep. Some people think athletes sacrifice to play. As a past athlete, I can only say sports allowed me endless opportu- nities to compete. To me, it wasn’t about sac- ing where you’re going; and for long trips, knowing where you’re going to go when the need arises. ODOT will have crews posted along critical travel routes to keep motorists mobile and safe, and will be providing travel updates via Tripcheck.com and 511 so travelers can be prepared with the most current travel infor- mation available. When properly supplied and informed, everyone can avoid becoming “highway luna(r)- tics” during the eclipse. Travellers should: • Expect traffic changes. ODOT does not plan to close any state highways. But as traffic volumes increase, ODOT may restrict some left turns to and from highways in order to keep traffic moving. Cities and counties may choose to do the same thing on their streets and roads. • Help keep roads clear. Staying off the roads helps make sure emergency service vehicles can get through. Take care of errands well before Aug. 21. Limit trips to help keep the roads clear. • Travel with friends. Joining friends and family for A Oregon will experience quite a show in less than two months, when the moon’s shadow cast by a solar eclipse begins its 2,500-mile- per-hour journey across the United States. But if the predicted one mil- lion visitors in Oregon’s path of totality for the Aug. 21 eclipse don’t properly prepare or aren’t paying attention, that show won’t be the celestial dance they came for. It’ll be a cosmic traffic jam on the roads below. ODOT is expecting many Oregon highways will be espe- cially crowded in the days around the eclipse. When trav- eling, drivers should keep their hands on the wheel, their mind on the task, and their eyes on the road — not on the sky. Statistics show that many crashes are the result of dis- tracted driving and traveling too fast for conditions. So ODOT is encouraging drivers to avoid unnecessary distrac- tions during their travels — and especially when Oregon highways will be very crowd- ed during the time of the eclipse. That means making travel plans well in advance; know- ARKET 8ejalÛJaf_`ÛFof]j BEST PRICES ON CIGARETTES & TOBACCO IN TOWN HUGE SELECTION OF BEERS Mercer Creek Dr #00148 – Nice, wooded .32 acre lot near Sutton Lake in an area of fine homes.
