Three Nominated to Fish and Boat Commission Board

Gov. Rendell has nominated Thomas C. Shetterly, William R. Worobec and Leonard Lichvar to be commissioners on the Fish and Boat Commission board.

If confirmed by the Senate, Shetterly will replace Ross J. Huhn, who passed away last August; Worobec will replace Ted R. Keir, whose term expired last October; and Lichvar will replace Rozell A. Stidd, who resigned in June 2003.

Shetterly, a fly fisherman and an avid angler and boater from Washington County, oversees the Deep Water Project at the Youghiogheny River and has helped raise almost $1 million for a project to clean the river. In addition, he has volunteered for more than 10 years with Trout Unlimited, which recently awarded him its "Distinguished Service Award."

Worobec, an avid angler from Lycoming County, is a member of Trout Unlimited, the North Central Pennsylvania Conservancy Board and the Dunwoody-Big Bear Fish and Game Club. He has helped secure more than $1 million through Growing Greener grants and private donations to restore the Big Bear Creek.

Lichvar, a fly fisherman from Somerset County, has served as a volunteer with Trout Unlimited for 30 years and participated in the Stonycreek-Conemaugh River Improvement Project.
