Lane County offers tips
in the event of lost ballot
Lane County ballots were
mailed Thursday, April 26, and
registered voters should have
received their ballots by now.
Voters who did not receive
their ballots in the mail by
Tuesday, May 1, should first
confirm that they are regis-
tered at www.oregonvotes.
gov.
If they have moved to any
new address, even the apart-
ment next door, they will need
to update their registration.
Voters can update online at
www.oregonvotes.gov if they
have a valid DMV license,
identification card or permit
number. The same website can
be used to update or remove a
mailing address.
You can also complete a
registration card and mail or
deliver it to Lane County
Elections.

State Fire Marshal announces Wildfire Awareness Month
May is Wildfire Awareness
Month in Oregon, and State
Fire Marshal Jim Walker is
asking homeowners to use this
opportunity to make sure their
home is protected from wild-
fire.
In a unified proclamation,
governors from Oregon, Idaho,
Nevada and California have
joined to encourage homeown-
ers to begin thinking about the
approaching fire season. This
year’s Wildfire Awareness
Week theme asks: “Have you
done enough to protect your
home from wildfire?”
“The roof is the most critical
part of the house when it comes
to wildfire protection,” said
N EW ODV
Walker. “Embers can collect
and ignite on the roof or in gut-
ters and enter unscreened open-
ings around the house.
“Although non-combustible
roofing material is preferred,
regardless of the construction,
keep roofs, gutters and eaves
clear of all leaves, pine needles
and other flammable debris.”
The Oregon Office of State
Fire Marshal, in collaboration
with Keep Oregon Green, the
Oregon
Department
of
Forestry, Oregon forest protec-
tive associations and federal
wildland agencies are taking
this opportunity to promote
defensible space around homes
before fire strikes this summer.
To reduce the risk, fire offi-
cials suggest removing dead
vegetation a minimum of 30
feet around your house. In most
cases, trees and healthy plants
do not need to be removed.
However, trees should be
pruned and grass kept short and
green to keep fire on the
ground and more manageable
by fire crews.
If you’re thinking of land-
scaping, ask your local nursery
or Oregon State University
Extension agent about fire
resistant plants.
Homeowners should also
keep access in mind for large
fire trucks. Long driveways
should be at least 12 feet wide,
have 10 feet of vegetation
clearance from the centerline
out, and about 14 feet over-
head.
Large vehicle turnaround
areas are critical for your safe-
ty as well as firefighter safety.
It is the homeowners’
responsibility to protect their
homes by building defensible
space.
For more information, visit
the websites for Keep Oregon
Green at keeporegongreen.org,
Oregon Department of Forestry
at www.oregon.gov/ODF, or
call your nearest ODF or forest
protective association office.
