In the Sept. 16 edition of
Siuslaw News’ Investiga-
tive Series “Making Fertle
Ground for Partisan Roots
Part II,” Michaela West ws
reported as a “past busi-
ness partner of Joe Henry.”
The reporting was in
error; the business partner
was not Michaela West but
a different Florence resi-
dent who is not a member
of the Florence Urban Re-
newal Agency (FURA)
Siuslaw News truly re-
grets the error.

LCFDB extends outdoor burning ban to Oct. 15
The fall outdoor burning
season has been delayed
from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15 for
many Lane County Resi-
dents.
The Lane County Fire
Defense Board postponed
the opening of the season
due to drier weather con-
ditions and heightened
fire danger present in Lane
County.
“Recent rainfall has been
beneficial, but fire con-
cerns still exist,” said Lane
Regional Air Protection
Agency (LRAPA) spokes-
person, Travis Knudsen.
“The Fire Defense Board
will reassess the opening of
the season in mid-October.
It’s not unusual for fall out-
door burning season to be
delayed after dry and hot
summers.”
Outdoor burning, also
known as open or backyard
burning, allows some Lane
County residents to burn
dry woody yard debris that
was generated on their own
residential property.
LRAPA encourages resi-
dents to explore alternative
options to burning. Resi-
dents can dispose of woody
yard debris for a mini-
mal charge at one of Lane
County’s various collection
depots.
For more information on
home wood heating advi-
sories and outdoor burning
advisories, visit www.lrapa.
