J OHNSON -V ITALI
Kimberly Johnson married John
Vitali on Monday, Aug. 21, at the
Golden Willow Ranch in John
Day. The bride, a 2004 graduate
of Grant Union High School and a
2008 graduate of the Art Institute, is
the daughter of Marlin and Donna
Johnson of John Day. The groom is
the son of Joe and Roselaine Vitali
of West Palm Beach, Florida, and
the late Joyce Mellies. The maid of honor was daughter Mia
Johnson. Bridesmaids were daughters Lily and Lucy Vitali.
The best man was son Leo Vitali. The couple plans to hon-
eymoon in the Florida Keys and live in Portland.
A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!

going to do now? Maybe you have skills and years of ex-
perience, but the labor market for the type of work you do
is no longer there.
•Are you finding it hard to compete in the job market
these days without the proper education? Most employers
require a high school diploma or GED at the minimum.
•Maybe you have a high school diploma or GED, but

a career because we just may be able to assist you with
the educational or training costs to get on that career path.

between the public and ODOT.
It advises ODOT in the regula-
tion of bicycle and pedestrian
traffi c and the establishment
of bikeways and walkways.
Members serve four-year
terms.
The committee was fi rst
formed by Oregon Statute
366.112, a bill passed in the
1973 Oregon Legislature. In
1995, the Oregon Transporta-
tion Commission offi cially rec-
ognized the committee’s addi-
tional role in pedestrian issues,
and the group became the Ore-
gon Bicycle and Pedestrian Ad-
visory Committee, or OBPAC.
Throughout the year, the
committee gathers input from
residents, offi cials and ODOT
staff as it considers bicycle and
pedestrian transportation-re-
lated issues. The committee
meets up to six times per year,
with several of those meetings
in locations outside of the Sa-
lem area; travel expenses are
reimbursed. Upcoming work
items include input on the new
Safe Routes to School program,
ODOT’s Active Transportation
Section and the department’s
intermodal policies. Interest
forms are available online. The
deadline to apply is Aug. 31.

missions manager, 503-378-
