Outdoor burning season further delayed until Oct. 20 in Lane County The fall outdoor burning sea- son will open on Saturday, Oct. 20 for many Lane County res- idents. The season, originally set to start Oct. 1, was delayed until Oct. 13 then pushed back further due to continued fire danger. The Lane County Fire De- fense Board and Oregon De- partment of Forestry decided to postpone the opening of the season in Lane County since weather conditions have been too dry. The small amounts of precip- itation the county has seen this week has not been enough to reduce fire risks and allow res- idential outdoor burning. Outdoor burning, also known as open or backyard burning, allows some Lane County res- idents to burn dry woody yard debris that was generated on their own residential proper- ty. Rules concerning outdoor burning differ throughout the county, with some cities ban- ning burning within city limits all together. Before starting a fire, all res- idents must check the daily burning advisory, which indi- cates to the community if burn- ing is prohibited on a given day. The advisory also tells residents when all fires must be extin- guished by. The daily burning advisory can be found by calling Lane Regional Air Protection Agency’s advisory line at 541- 726-3976 or by visiting www. lrapa.org. To prevent any uncontrolled fires, the Fire Defense Board re- minds all residents that all out- door burning must be constant- ly attended until extinguished with water nearby. Due to the heavy wildfire smoke intrusions this summer, LRAPA encourages residents to explore alternatives to burning. Residents can dispose of woody yard debris for a minimal charge at one of Lane County’s various collection depots or with Rexius and Lane Forest Products.

City Lights to host ‘Wandering Reel’ film festival Wandering Reel is a traveling short film festival with a focus on bringing meaningful films to communities with limited or no access to compassionate, thought-provoking cinema. Now in its 4th season of bringing important cinema to small towns and rural commu- nities all over North America, Wandering Reel Traveling Film Festival is back in Florence for another afternoon of power- ful, award winning short films from around the world. This year’s festival will take place at City Lights Cinema (1930 Highway 101 Florence, OR 97439) on Sunday, Nov. WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 4, at 2:30 p.m. The program showing is called “Our Basic Assumptions.” What happens when we leave our assumptions at the door? These seven shorts chal- lenge stereotypes around pov- erty, race, integrity, sexuality, gender, age and more. This year, the festival features 25 short films divided into four different themed programs that explore topics ranging from gender and equality, to overcoming obstacles and re- membering the little moments that make a life whole. For the first time in the festi- val’s short history, the majority of films featured this year are directed by women, a fact that according to festival director, Michael Harrington, was “not intentional but a wonderful surprise once the final films were chosen.” Harrington will lead a Q&A discussion after each screening to deepen the experience and provide information about how and why the films were made. “Short films don’t necessari- ly answer all the questions for the viewer and often times are made to inspire questions,” says Harrington. “I’m more of a facilitator of these conversa- tions.” FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY OCTOBER 10 OCTOBER 11 OCTOBER 12 OCTOBER 13 OCTOBER 14 OCTOBER 15 OCTOBER 16 Mostly Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny 62°F 45°F 67°F 45°F 66°F 45°F 69°F 49°F 70°F 49°F 68°F 50°F 67°F 49°F Receive $5 off when you spend $100!
