The practices include: riparian forest buffer, grass filter strips, marginal pastureland wildlife habitat buffers and m arginal p astu relan d wetland buffers. Types o f Payments: Each CREP contract is capable o f earning four different types o f payments. They include: R ental Payments are made at the end of each contract year and consist of a rental rate and a maintenance rate Signup Incentive Payments (SIP) are one-time payments o f $10 per acre for each full year that acre is enrolled into CREP. Cost share payments are made to help the participants with the cost of installing the project Cost shares have both federal and state components Federal cost share will pay 50 percent o f eligible cost of establishing conservation practices. Advance payments can be issued as expenses are accum ulated State cost share will pay 25 percent of the eligible co st o f establishing conservation practices.

CREP contracts are also required to have a scheduled management practice, which is eligible for additional federal cost share Producers wanting to apply for CREP can do so at the FSA office any time. Producers wanting to earn irrigated rates must make arrangements to rent their water rights back to the state for the d u ratio n o f the contract.

Oregon holds child passenger safety blitz Saving c h ild re n ’s lives is the focus o f a two- week promotion throughout Oregon to encourage proper use o f child restraints in vehicles, as well as the proper use of safety belts for all p assengers, O regon D epartm ent of T ran sp o rtatio n (O D O T) safety officials announced Wednesday The educational blitz coincides with National Child P assen g er Safety Week, Feb. 13-19. While any restraint is better than none at all, only 44 percent o f O regon children 4 to 8 years old or weighing 40 to 60 pounds are using b o o ster seats, according to a 2004 ODOT study. Use o f a booster seat reduces the risk o f injury 59 percent compared to safety belts alone, according to a study by the C h ild ren ’s Hospital o f Philadelphia Parents can find help with child safety seats and boosters in their area by checking the ACTS Oregon Web site at www.childsafetyseat.org Under Oregon law, drivers are responsible for wearing safety belts and for ensuring that all passengers under age 16 are appropriately restrained The law requires that children under age 4 or weighing less than 40 pounds ride in a child safety seat Children over 4 years o f age or weighing more than 40 pounds must ride in a booster seat until they reach both age 6 and weigh at least 60 pounds Passengers over age 16 are themselves responsible for wearing a safety belt Drivers or p assen g ers cited for failure to use the appropriate restraint may be fined $94 for each violation The T hree Flags Campaign Blitz, the first of two major events, will focus overtime enforcem ent on Oregon safety belt and child seat laws O fficers from more than 100 local police^ departments, county sheriff s offices, and Oregon State P o lice field o ffices throughout Oregon will step up enforcement o f child seat and safety belt laws from Sunday, Feb 7, through ( Monday, Feb. 20. The second week of events, which coincides with National Child Passenger Safety W eek, offers Oregonians a chance to learn how to properly protect th em selv es and th eir children E m ergency resp o n se, m edical, and health ed u catio n p ro fessio n als will be conducting free child safety seat inspections around the state U nder the them e, “Boost Them Until They Are Big E n o u g h ,” safety advocates throughout the state will encourage use of booster seats for children until they are “big enough” for adult safety belts A lthough national recommendations regarding booster seats have changed over the years, the bottom line rem ains th e same: Children need to ride in child safety seats or booster seats until they are big enough for the adult lap belt to ride low on their abdomen and the shoulder belt to ride across the collarbone and chest, not across the face or the neck. “ In a d d itio n , we recommend that children under age 12 ride in the back seat because national crash data indicate a 37 percent decreased risk o f injury for rear-seated children,” said Carla Levinski, occupant protection coordinator for O D O T ’s T ran sp o rtatio n Safety Division P eople w ho w ant assistance with selecting or installing an appropriate car seat should contact ACTS Oregon’s Child Safety Seat Resource Center at (800) 772-1315. The ACTS website also contains the statewide schedule for free child safety seat inspection clin ics, at www. actsoregon. org.
