2A | THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Lane County to roll out new multifamily recycling program Lane County Waste Management is imple- menting a multifamily re- cycling program in an ef- fort to improve access to, and quality of, recycling at apartments, condomini- ums and any multi-tenant properties that have five or more units with shared garbage collection. Clear instructions and signage are often the most effective tools to keep the recycling clean and sorted correctly. Lane County is offer- ing resources and invit- ing property owners or managers to register for a pilot project that will of- fer advanced resources at lanecounty.org/multifam- ilyrecycling. In a National Multifam- ily Housing study on what apartment renters want, 80 percent of respondents said access to recycling is a top-five desirable feature, right up there with park- ing or a fitness center. “Lane County resi- dents clearly feel recy- cling is very important, and renters should have equal access,” says Lane County Waste Reduction Specialist Sarah Grimm. “We know from research conducted by Oregon’s Department of Environ- mental Quality that we still have high levels of im- proper recycling, so sever- al free resources are avail- able now and the pilot projects will test addition- al advanced resources.” State law (ORS 90.318) requires landlords of apartments, condomini- ums and other multifami- ly communities (with 5 or more units) to provide re- cycling service along with garbage service in certain cities and their urban growth boundaries. Currently, Eugene, Springfield, Creswell and Florence require property owners and managers to provide recycling. Lane County has amended code regulations to ensure this extends from city limits to the ur- ban growth boundary of those cities as required by law. The Lane County Waste Reduction Program is seeking interested multi- family property owners or managers to participate in pilot projects. Participating properties will receive free educa- tional resources and tools to help tenants recycle right, and in return they will provide oversight and reporting for one year. Interested property owners or managers can register by filling out the survey at lanecounty.org/ multifamilyrecycling.

CORRECTION South Valley Resource Alliance mistakenly re- ported in the Dec. 18 edition of The Sentinel that the $1,750 donat- ed by Trinity Women in Mission through Trinity Lutheran Church from traffic enforcement that deputies would not nor- mally be able to do with- out the special, allocated funding. This saturation is in conjunction with a na- tionwide effort to reduce drunk and impaired driv- ing over the holiday sea- son. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that over the past five years, an average of 300 people died in drunk driv- ing crashes the week be- tween Christmas and New Year’s nationally. In 2016, 781 people lost their lives in drunk driv- ing related crashes in the month of December na- tionwide. The Lane County Sher- iff ’s Office wants to re- mind motorists to drive safely during the typically hazardous conditions this time of year, drive so- ber and utilize designat- ed drivers, taxis or other public transportation if they choose to drink. With the passage of Or- egon’s marijuana laws, this is also a reminder of the impairment marijuana creates of drivers, impact- ing their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Driving Under the In- fluence of Intoxicants (DUII) applies to drivers under the influence of marijuana, as it does with alcohol. New law to allow plate transfers from totaled, altered vehicles If DMV receives notice that your car is totaled or substantially altered after Jan. 1, 2020, you will be able to keep the plates and registration on the vehicle or transfer them to anoth- er vehicle. House Bill 2576, passed by the 2019 Legislature, changed requirements to transfer plates and regis- trations for some vehicles. Here is what the new law does: • Requires tow compa- nies to allow the registered owner to remove their plates from a vehicle after it has been towed. • Allows you to transfer your plates and registra- tion when a salvage title has been issued to your totaled or substantially al- tered vehicle. • Allows you to keep the plates and registration on, or transfer them from, a vehicle that is totaled or substantially altered, or is recovered after a theft, as long as a salvage title has not been issued. • Allows an approved customer-provided spe- cial interest plate to be transferred from one ve- hicle to another qualifying vehicle. For more information on plate transfers, visit OregonDMV.com.

She had cookies in hand and was on her way to share some laughs with her family--as we know, Dorcas’s friends were also her extended family. Dorcas was born on De- cember 3, 1952, to William Wittrock and Renata Lorraine Wittrock. Dorcas’s affi nity for animals began at an early age, and her trust in and love for animals of all types was something that would con- tinue throughout her lifetime, from dogs and cats to pigeons and goats and horses. She also loved her garden and the ocean and taking people in and being a helper. Dorcas’s creative spirit and artistic ability allowed her to express herself and to craft items of enduring charm and whimsy. Dorcas knew how to laugh, and with her kook- ie-bird sense of humor, she laughed with us and helped us to laugh. She valued helping, and when faced with a chal- lenge, she would take it on with a will. Dorcas was a strong, loyal woman who worked hard and loved deeply, and her en- during spirit is something we can all hold on to. Dorcas is survived by her daughters, Heather Burzacott, Heidi Peschel, and Amber Quatier, and by her sister, Sandy Pike, and her brother, William Wittrock, and by her beloved grandchildren, Dylan and Monet Burzacott, and Aislynn and Irelynn Quatier, and by her soul sisters, Bonnie Gilvin and Nancy Young. We take comfort in know- ing that Dorcas and Larry are holding hands and having a laugh in Heaven, together again forever.
