Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 28, 2017 No roadkill on the menu yet No salvaging roadkilled deer and elk till 2019 SALEM, Ore.—A new law allowing the salvage of roadkilled deer and elk will not take effect until Jan. 1, 2019 at the latest. Salvag- ing roadkilled deer and elk remains unlawful until new rules are adopted to imple- ment the new statute. SB 372 was passed by the 2017 Oregon State Leg- islature and asks ODFW to make a wildlife salvage permit available for deer and elk that have been ac- cidentally killed as a result of a vehicle collision. The new law states that deer and elk can only be salvaged for human consumption; that antlers must be returned to ODFW; and that people will recover the roadkill and consume the meat at their own risk. As with all regulations, ODFW staff will write draft rules and present them to the Fish and Wildlife Com- mission for public comment and consideration before adoption. The Legislature gave the department up to two years to develop a safe, re- sponsible salvage program. Until that time, current Oregon wildlife regula- tions remain in place and state “No person shall pos- sess or transport any game mammal or part thereof, which has been illegally killed, found or killed for humane reasons, except shed antlers, unless they have notified and received permission from personnel of the Oregon State Police or ODFW prior to trans- porting.” Even licensed hunters may not pick up roadkilled deer and elk dur- ing legal hunting seasons. Salvaging roadkill has been unlawful to discour- age people from deliber- ately hitting a game animal with their vehicle in order to keep the meat or antlers. “ODFW will work to write rules that make get- ting a permit to legitimately salvage a roadstruck deer or elk as simple as possible, but that also discourage poaching,” says Doug Cot- tam, ODFW wildlife divi- sion administrator.

ASSE students are en- thusiastic and excited to ex- perience American culture while they practice their English. They also love to share their own culture and language with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving everyone involved a rich cultural experience. The exchange students have pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident and liabili- ty insurance. ASSE students are selected based on aca- demics and personality, and host families can choose their student from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal in- terests. To become an ASSE host family or to find out how to become involved with ASSE in your commu- nity, please call the ASSE Western Regional Office at 1-800-733-2773 or go to www.host.asse.com to be- gin your host family appli- cation. Students are eager to learn about their American host family, so begin the process of welcoming your new son or daughter today.
