The founder of the Leaven No Trace volunteer environmental cleanup effort was arrested Oct. 6 in Florence after city officials discovered self-made trash filters on four stormwater discharge pipes leading to the Siuslaw River. Raymond Jerome Furr (aka Raymond Block), was charged with two-counts of Criminal Mischief and lodged in the Lane Co. Jail at Eugene. City officials allege the filter devices posed a risk of failure to roadways and the falling of trees created by erosion. Furr has been at odds with other coastal law enforcement agencies and his signature trash bags with a smiley face have been seen by many as well as stacks of discarded tires.
