The Power of Florence is a festival-like event, with fun activities around town con- tributing to make the commu- nity better. Anyone can take part in it. Currently, 19 events are being organized for July 18. Many will be set up in the Grocery Outlet parking lot, such as the annual Humane Society Barbecue, Stuff the Van, and Kitten Adoption Day. There will be live entertain- ment for all to enjoy during the after party in the parking lot with entertainers, including blues musician David Weigan, CROW kids’ dance and song group, and local musician Marty Adams. Many events raise funds for local nonprofit organizations through events such as car washes, to raise money for Children’s Repertory of Oregon Workshops and other nonprofit groups. There are also service proj- ects that beautify local parks, schools and beaches. This year, the City of Florence, Mayor Joe Henry and City Manager Erin Reynolds will be teaming up with mem- bers from Florence Christian Church and the Realtors of Florence to beautify Miller Park. Kiwanis, Florence Ambassadors and Rotary have beautification projects planned as well. In four years, Power of Florence participants have raised $32,000, completed 48 service projects and collected more than 10,000 pounds of food for the Food Share and Humane Society.

Paying extra for unnecessary ‘bells and whistles’? Author to speak on quest for missing son In October 2010, Sandy Lee’s 36-year-old son disap- peared without a trace while visiting his hometown. Three months later, his partial remains were found during a community search organized by Lee — who then began her own search to discover the cir- cumstances surrounding her son's murder. “No Stone Unturned” chronicles a mother’s passion- ate pursuit to lay her son to rest by finding him justice, as well as begin the process of healing through her memoirs, which include photographs, personal poems and insights. On Friday, June 26, Lee will be at Port Hole Books to dis- cuss her experience, share excerpts and sign copies of her book. Though Lee isn’t a Port Hole Publications author, bookstore owner, publisher and bestselling author Ellen Traylor felt Lee’s message was one that needed to be shared. “It’s every parent’s worst nightmare when a child goes missing, even if he or she is an adult,” said Traylor. “This brave mother’s story is inspir- ing and deserves a wide audi- ence. We can all gain some- thing from the message of strength and hope she brings.” The event is free and will begin at 7 p.m. at Port Hole William Foster LD Sherry, Offi ce Manager Elderberry Square is FAIR because it’s all about the CARE.

Meet H UTCH Siuslaw News As you can tell I’m not camera shy at all, I look best in natural sunlight. I am, however, in search of a owner with a light touch and that person would have to be sensitive and patient with my needs. I’m still working on letting down my wall and letting someone love me. It would be more comfortable for me to allow this to happen if I were the only pet. Serious inquiries only...ask for Hutch.
