That could be the difference between their children staying and getting the help they need. Maybe it is the stress of not having a job, or not being able to get to Food Share, which creates this whole umbrella of horrible things that happen to our children. “Look to your right and left. If it doesn’t feel right, offer a helping hand. Be a community person.” For more information, call Lynn Anderson at 541-997- 5458. Wars’ on CED provides me with a sense of being transport- ed to 1978.” According to Sisson, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) brought radio into the homes of Americans, sold millions of records and introduced the world to commercial televi- sion. “When RCA unveiled the SelectaVision VideoDisc sys- tem,” Sisson explained, “nobody expected these discs would earn the distinction of being the last physical media conceived, designed and pro- duced in the United States. When this format was intro- duced, watching a favorite movie at home remained a magical experience. Their rise and fall is part of the story of ‘The Last American Media.’ “We’re talking about the birth of mass communications, the shift to a global economy, the love and preservation of cinema, and our continually changing media culture,” Sisson added. Sisson’s previous directorial works include music videos, commercials, short narrative films, web-based media, short documentaries and live concert performances. He said nostal- gia isn’t the only reason he is making a documentary about a dead format. “It’s all about connecting with people. I want to remind viewers of a time when sharing movies didn’t refer to digital interactions,” he said. Siuslaw High School alumni Omar Alaniz will join Sisson as assistant and partner for “The Last American Media.” The film will be shot on location in museums, archives, homes, record stores and thrift shops across the country. Sisson will shoot with a Canon 7d in addition to Super 8, iPhones and GoPro cameras. He is using Kickstarter to crowd-fund the project. If the film is successfully funded, Sisson expects to deliver the final cut before October.

Fire from 1A While the exact cause is under investigation, the fire began in the kitchen and appeared to originate with the stove. The occupants had left the premises only 15 minutes before firefighters reached the scene. According to Barrett, there was little fire damage to the rest of the house, but exten- sive heat and smoke damage to the home and contents totals $180,000. Barrett said, “Fires, with the right fuel and heat source, can create devastating dam- age in a very short period of time. Kitchen fires, especial- ly cooking fires, are the lead- ing cause of fires we respond to and in the nation. It is vital to remember to never leave cooking unattended or leave anything on the stove when not in use.” The Red Cross advocates emergency preparedness: get informed, make a plan, build a kit and suggests families should take a few moments to review their exit plan should there be a fire in their home. Know what to do before, dur- ing and after a home fire. For more information, go online to www.redcross.org. When making a plan, or in the case of an emergency, people should not forget to include their pets. A generous donation of oxygen and resuscitation equipment for dogs allowed the firefighters and WLAD paramedics to resuscitate the dog on scene. CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK I N BRIEF 9 A
