conduct exploratory work on
culverts in the Florence area
this week, creating intermit-

101.
Beginning Tuesday, April
28, and continuing through
Thursday, April 30, the con-
tractor will be closing lanes on
Quince Street, between 10th

on northbound Highway 101,

may
occur
between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
During the lane closures,
motorists will be directed to
the available lane of travel via
electronic reader boards. No
significant delays are expect-
ed.
The culvert exploration is
associated with a project to
replace the storm drain liner
beneath Quince Street and
install a culvert liner beneath
Highway 101. Construction of
that project will occur in
September.

ment stays in the forefront.
Now, “living green” means
making changes to lifestyles —
changes that are environmen-
tally friendly and sustainable.
To further these efforts, the
Siuslaw News and KCST
Radio worked with an active
organizing committee that
strives to improve the fair
experience each year and hopes
that this year’s fair will be the
best ever.
Bring the family and come
celebrate community while
immersing yourself in the
pleasures of sustainability.
This year, the fair has part-
nered with area educators and
vendors for a day of fun for all
ages, including visual displays,
homegrown flavors, hands-on
crafts for children of all ages
and music featuring Marty
Adams.
Exhibits, seminars and inter-
active activities are scheduled
throughout the day at the FEC,
715 Quince St.
A new addition to this year’s
Green Fair is the Kid Zone,
sponsored by Central Coast
Disposal, Pest Tech and
Pioneer Recycling. This special
area will feature interactive
craft projects and a planting
station.
The first 100 youth to attend
the fair will receive a super-
recycler cape.
Also on hand is the Repair 2
Reuse café. Bring your pants
that need a button replaced or a
small appliance that isn’t work-
ing and have them repaired for
free.
Have a computer problem?
Stop by the café for a free con-
sultation.
Admission to the Florence
Green Fair is $2 for adults and
free for all children accompa-
nied by an adult.
However, anyone who
brings a used plastic planter pot
to be recycled will receive free
admission.
Whether it is about recy-
cling, using less energy or pro-
tecting the soil, air and food we
eat, the Green Fair will offer
ideas and solutions for adopt-
ing a greener lifestyle.
Bozievich, Mokrohisky speak to City
Club on vehicle registration fee May 1
On Friday, May 1, the
Florence City Club invites
the public to join West
Lane
County
Commis-
sioner Jay Bozievich and
County Administrator Steve
Mokrohisky for a discussion
on the proposed vehicle regis-
tration fee on the May ballot.
Lane County voters will
decide whether they want to
adopt a $35 vehicle registration
increase to be dedicated to the
maintenance of roads, bridges
and highways.
If it is approved, 40 percent
of the funds will be shared with
incorporated cities to keep city
streets well maintained. In
addition, the measure provides
for citizen oversight and an
annual independent audit.
The City Club meets at noon
in the clubhouse at Ocean
Dunes Golf Links. A limited
lunch menu is available for
purchase at 11:30 a.m.

Sharon Hobart at 541-914-
