Lane County Marine Deputy Honored for Outstanding Contributions

The Oregon State Marine Board honored marine law enforcement officers
from around the state for their outstanding performance and
contributions during the 2009 boating season at their annual post-season
conference on October 13, in Bend. 
	
Deputy Steve Fandry was recognized for his outstanding contributions
over the years as a Marine Board Instructor. Deputy Fandry has been in
the role of Instructor at the Marine Board’s Law Enforcement Academy
held each spring and specialty training such as drift and jet boat
schools.  Because of his expert boat handling skills, strong people
skills, and his knowledge of marine law, Deputy Fandry is a favorite
among new marine law enforcement personnel.  “Deputy Fandry connects
with students in a way that plays to both their strengths and
weaknesses,” said Dale Flowers, Law Enforcement Coordinator for the
Marine Board.  After being taught by Fandry, students are confident with
their boat handling skills under pressure.  It takes a special
instructor to be able to instill that level of confidence in someone
who’s new boat operation and enforcing the law.  His skills deserve
recognition,” Flowers adds.
