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

sp or contact Kevin Herkamp at
503-947-6232 or Kevin.Her

ODOT offers travel tips as eclipse nears

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?

the trip to totality will reduce
the number of cars on the road.

• Caution friends, family
and other visitors: Tell them to
#DriveHealthy: Arrive early,
stay put during the eclipse and
leave late afterwards.
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.

athletes have a “balanced
diet” of nutrition, education,
rest and support — not an
easy challenge.
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-
