Fire danger puts early end to outdoor burning season Friday, June 14, marked the last day for outdoor burning for most Lane County residents until October. The season closed one day early this year due to elevated fire danger; the season will re-open Oct. 1 pending the end of wildfire season. During the closed sea- son, yard debris can be disposed of at one of several local debris col- lection or recycling cen- ters, such as Lane Forest Products, Rexius or Lane County’s transfer stations and dump sites. Com- posting and chipping are always encouraged. Residents who burn during the closed sea- son are subject to viola- tions ranging from $50 to $2,500 or more. The Lane County Fire Defense Board will de- cide if the season will open on time on the first of October or delay open- ing due to high fire risks. People can check on the season’s status by go- ing online at www.lrapa. org or calling the LRA- PA daily open burning advisory line at 541-726- 3976. Coastal residents can call 541-997-1757. Special Deal! COURTESY PHOTO O n Thursday, Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Travis Palmer was the guest presenter at the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting to install its 2019-20 board of directors. Florence Chamber Executive Director Bettina Hannigan called Palmer “a hero,” citing his nine-year history as chamber director and his commitment to economic development. In his presentation, Palmer spoke about the importance of partnerships in keeping momentum going for chambers of commerce. “We engage in countless partnerships in the community,” he said and detailed several projects. Palmer talked about Yard of the Week, which benefits weekly winners, entire neigh- borhoods and the chamber itself as it partners with the City of Cottage Grove. He also talked about the importance of other chambers and economic partners for events like the Cottage Grove Business Challenge, which encourages the growth of new and existing businesses. “I encourage you to leverage partnerships like that. Don’t always count on someone else coming in, … but think about what you can create through partnerships,” he said. 25% SENIOR DISCOUNT SAVE NOW ON SUBSCRIPTION RATES! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
