SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2017 3 A Pedestrian Enforcement Kid’s Art Camp held at ‘The Studio’ in Old Town Operation underway On Wednesday, Aug. 23, the Florence Police Department will conduct a Pedestrian Enforcement Operation at Highway 101 and 15th Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be canceled if it is raining. Under Oregon law, a cross- walk exists at any public street intersection, whether marked with paint or unmarked. Crosswalks also exist between intersections (mid-block) where indicated with white paint. At a traffic signal, drivers must: • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which the driver is traveling and the adjacent lane. • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane into which the driver’s vehicle is turning and at least 6 feet of the adjacent lane. At any other crosswalk — those without a signal — drivers must: • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which the driver is traveling and the adjacent lane. • Stop and remain stopped for students crossing (or about to cross) a street under the direction of a crossing guard. • Stop and remain stopped for a blind or blind and deaf pedestrian using a cane or a guide dog, until the pedestri- an is completely across the roadway. A stopped car may be a clue that a pedestrian is cross- ing. Don’t pass until you know what is going on. In fact, it is not only unsafe but also illegal in Oregon to pass a vehicle stopped at a cross- walk for a pedestrian. Giving pedestrians more space and slowing down in their presence can save lives. Pedestrians struck by vehi- cles at 40 mph have an 85 percent chance of dying in the collision. That death rate drops to 15 percent at 20 mph.

COM Recent Siuslaw High School graduate Ben Cahoun led the first ‘Kid’s Art Camp’ this month at The Studios at Jayne Smoley Design. “We were so pleased to have Benjamin at The Studios to teach the Kid’s Art Camp. It was an amazing success. I really enjoyed watching him interact with the kids. Teaching them that art is not this big scary thing, it’s just about problem solving and getting your thoughts and ideas out of your head and onto paper using charcoal,paint,glue foil and even glass,” said Smoley. “We are already thinking about and planning what we can do next year.” Siuslaw Outreach Services host ‘After Hours’ In July, Siuslaw Outreach Services (SOS) hosted the Florence Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours.
