Firefighters to host annual
Christmas tree pick-up
Dried out Christmas trees
can be very dangerous, partic-
ularly as temperatures drop
and wood stove and other
home heating devices heat up.
To be safe, Siuslaw Valley
Fire and Rescue encourages
residents to dispose of their
dried Christmas trees to reduce
the chances of a fire occurring
in their homes.
To assist with the disposal
of Christmas trees, SVFR vol-
3 A
FRAA to feature work of young artist
unteers will be holding their
annual Christmas Tree Pick-
Up the next two Saturdays,
Dec. 30 and Jan. 6.
A $5 donation is requested
but not required. Donations
can be placed in a small plastic
bag and attached to the tree
before pick-up.
For more information or to
arrange for pick-up, call SVFR
at 541-997-3212.

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.
