Lane County Sheriff ’s
Office has announced
that there will be some
required changes to Con-
cealed Handgun Licens-
ing as of Sept. 25. These
changes are statewide and
not specific to Lane Coun-
ty.
Those changes include:
• Fees will be increasing
in accordance with Senate
Bill 554. Initial licensing
will increase to $115. Re-
newal licensing will in-
crease to $75. This will be
the first CHL fee increase
in the State of Oregon in
more than 30 years.
• Mail in renewal appli-
cations will no longer be
processed.
In 2020, Oregon Gov.
Kate Brown declared the
state to be in a state of
emergency. With this dec-
laration, rules were put
into place that allowed the
Lane County Sheriff ’s Of-
fice to process Concealed
Handgun License renewal
applications by mail.
With the state of emer-
gency no longer in effect,
the Lane County Sheriff ’s
Office will be required
to process renewal appli-
cations in person again,
which has always been the
practice prior to 2020.
Appointments are now
required for all in-person
CHL and fingerprinting
services, including renew-
al applications.
Those wishing to renew
their CHL status by mail
are allowed to do so utiliz-
ing the lower fee schedule
(Renewal: $50) as long as
it is postmarked prior to
Sept. 25.
“We would like to thank
the community for their
understanding and pa-
tience in this matter,”
Lane County Sheriff ’s Of-
fice stated.

arships (CES) are awarded

Florence Police give enforcement follow-up report Apply to Mapleton Community’s
On July 31, Florence Po-
lice Department conduct-
ed a Pedestrian Enforce-
ment Operation at Ninth
and Kingwood streets from
approximately 10 a.m. to
1:15 p.m. The Enforcement
Operation was a success in
educating drivers on pe-
destrian laws.
In total there were 13
stops made and 10 infrac-
tions cited during the two-
hour enforcement time.
Under Oregon law, a
crosswalk exists at any
public street intersection,
whether marked with
paint or unmarked. Cross-
walks also exist between
intersections (mid-block)
where indicated with white
paint.
At a traffic signal, driv-
ers must:
• Stop
and
remain
stopped for pedestrians
until they have cleared the
lane in which the driver is
traveling and the adjacent
lane.
• Stop
and
remain
stopped for pedestrians
until they have cleared the
lane into which the driver’s
vehicle is turning and at
least six feet of the adjacent
lane.
At any other crosswalk
— those without a signal —
drivers must:
• Stop
and
remain
stopped for pedestrians
until they have cleared the
lane in which the driver is
traveling and the adjacent
lane.
• Stop
and
remain
stopped for students cross-
ing (or about to cross) a
street under the direction
of a crossing guard.
• Stop
and
remain
stopped for a blind or blind
and deaf pedestrian using a
cane or a guide dog, until
the pedestrian is completely
across the roadway.
A stopped car may be
a clue that a pedestrian is
crossing. Don’t pass until
you know what is going on.
In fact, it is not only
unsafe but also illegal in
Oregon to pass a vehicle
stopped at a crosswalk for a
pedestrian.
Giving pedestrians more
space and slowing down
in their presence can save
lives. Pedestrians struck by
vehicles at 40 mph have an
85 percent chance of dying
in the collision.
That death rate drops to
15 percent at 20 mph.

er John Pitcher at 541-997-
