Lane Regional Air Protection Agency spokesperson Travis Knudsen said the majority of Lane County won’t be affected by wildfire smoke.
“For those who are seeing the air quality being degraded it will vary and short throughout the day it will shift in a diurnal pattern the morning portions in the day in the Oakridge region specifically will be when air quality is at its best,” he said.
Knudsen said air quality will degrade as the day goes on, and may go from moderate to very unhealthy on the air quality index. He advises checking LRAPA.org for possible changes, and take precautions when necessary.

Television (all times EDT): Wednesday-Saturday, 6:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. (Golf Channel).
2016 gold medal: Inbee Park.
Notes: The nature of the field is entirely different from the men last week. All three medalists from Rio de Janeiro are back for their second Olympics — none of the 2016 male medalists qualified this time. There are 29 women in the field who competed in Rio, compared with nine men. ... The U.S. and South Korea are the only countries with the maximum four players. Lexi Thompson is the only returning American. She tied for 19th in Rio. Inbee Park and Sei Young Kim return for South Korea. Kim tied for 25th in Rio. ... Nelly Korda is the No. 1 player in the world and coming off her first major a month ago in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Atlanta. ... Nasa Hataoka is Japan’s highest-ranked player. ... Minjee Lee of Australia is coming off her first major at the Evian Championship two weeks ago. The LPGA Tour has its fifth and final major in two weeks at the Women’s British Open. ... Charley Hull and Georgia Hall opted out for Britain. Hall tied for 14th and Hull tied for 17th in a joint LPGA and Ladies European Tour event last week in Northern Ireland. ... U.S. Women’s Open champion Yuka Saso is playing for the Philippines. Because she just turned 21, she can decide after this year whether to represent Japan, her father’s native country.

Oregon wildfires: Nine small fires dubbed Middle Fork Complex


Firefighters are responding to nine small lightning-ignited wildfires Thursday night near Oakridge. 
The cluster of fires have been dubbed the Middle Fork Complex, according to Willamette National Forest. 
A type 2 fire crew and aviation resources have been ordered in an effort to put the blazes out, forest officials said late Thursday. 
The fires range in sizes from less than an acre to 10 acres. The incidents are in the Fall Creek, Hills Creek Reservoir and north of Huckleberry areas near Oakridge. 
"Two incidents are close to private lands and are our current priorities," the national forest said. 
Around 100 lightning strikes hit the Cascade Crest east of Eugene on Monday. Fire crews responded to 17 small fires following that lightning event, Willamette National Forest said previously. It's unclear if the Middle Fork Complex is part of that batch of fires.
