RSVP at 541-997-8202! shorewoodsl.com 1451 Spruce Street, Florence COURTESY PHOTO Emily Rosinbaum is a local self taught artist and LCC student who will be displaying her work at the FRAA Gallery. Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA) is pleased to introduce the talented young adult artist Emily Rosinbaum, whose work is currently on dis- play at FRAA, 120 Maple St. Rosinbaum is self-taught, and discovered her passion for art when she was very young. As she says, “It has taken a massive amount of hours and self learning to be where I am today.” Whales inspire many of Rosinbaum’s paintings because of where she lives. Once she achieved realism in painting whales, she found her own personal style. Rosinbaum works only in crys- tallized watercolor for all of her pieces. When not doing art, Rosinbaum volunteers in the local community, and tries to become a “well-rounded indi- vidual.” She currently goes to Lane Community College, where she plans to finish her degree and go on to a University. Rosinbaum is very grateful for the support of the commu- nity of the Oregon Coast, and hopes to continue her endeav- ors as an artist. The community is invited to meet Rosinbaum at FRAA dur- ing the Second Saturday Art Tour, set for Saturday, Jan. 13, from 3 to 5 p.m. N EW O REGON VEHICLE FEES TAKE EFFECT J AN . 1 New Oregon vehicle registration, title and trip permit fees will take effect Jan. 1, providing funding for a major investment in the state’s transportation system. Oregon residents with vehicle tags expiring on or after Jan. 1 will see new reg- istration fees in their renewal reminders starting in November. The fee for two-year passenger vehicle registration renewal — Oregon Department of Motor Vehicle’s (DMV) most common vehicle transaction — will go from $86 for two years to $112. The registration fee is based on the vehi- cle registration renewal date, not when the fee is paid. DMV mails renewal reminders several weeks before a vehicle’s tags expire. Vehicle registration fees, title fees and other motor vehicle-related fees, such as fuels taxes and motor carriers’ weight-mile taxes, help support Oregon’s transportation system statewide and at the local levels. The increased fees are part of a major Visit the Siuslaw News online at funding package to improve the state’s transportation system and to strengthen Oregon’s economy. The Oregon Legislature and Gov. Kate Brown approved House Bill 2017 to pro- vide Oregonians with improved roads and bridges, more transportation options and enhanced safety throughout the system. In addition to this vehicle registration fee increase, the package is funded by increases in other transportation-related fees that take effect Jan. 1. These include increases on motor fuel taxes and fees for title transfers and commercial motor vehi- cles. The bill also creates a 0.5 percent privi- lege tax on new vehicle purchases, and a $15 fee on new adult bicycles that cost $200 or more. Here are some transportation system investments the fees will support: • Highway maintenance and preserva- tion, seismic upgrades and safety, includ- ing specific construction projects across the state. • Increased funding for small cities and counties. • A Safe Routes to School infrastructure program to reduce barriers and hazards for children walking or bicycling to and from school. • Economic benefits by sustaining jobs, keeping freight moving and providing a boost to local communities across the state. To view upcoming transportation proj- ects, visit www.oregon.gov/ODOT. People are encouraged to first check www.OregonDMV.com any time they need to visit a DMV office, to find office hours and locations and to make sure they have everything needed before their visit. In addition, people can do some DMV business from home at OregonDMV.com, such as renewing a vehicle registration, fil- ing a change of address or filing notice of the sale of their vehicle online, without needing to get in line at a DMV office.
