SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2015 Grant writing workshop at library Aug. 26 U.S. Coast Guard gives Spirit of Excellence Award U.S. Coast Guard Station Siuslaw River awarded Damage Controlman Third Class (DC3) Cody Wagner the “Sailor of the Quarter” for the second quarter of 2015, from March to June. Wagner was selected by his crew, superiors and the station command. The Sailor of the Quarter is selected based on sustained superior performance of duty while being assigned to Station Siuslaw River in Florence. The honor was presented by the Officer in Charge, Senior Chief Tim Tregoning, and a recognition ceremony took place at an all-hands muster. Wagner, 24, is a native of Crowley, Texas. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 2010, and has served aboard Coast Guard Cutter Oak in Charleston, S.C., and Station Crisfield, Md., before attending rate training and arriving aboard Station Siuslaw River in November 2014. Wagner is assigned as the housing petty officer at Station The public is invited to attend Lane County Cultural Coalition’s Grant Writing Workshop in the Bromley Room at the Siuslaw Public Library on Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This workshop is for both individuals and groups (for- profit and nonprofits) who con- tribute to a vibrant cultural life in Lane County. Library director Meg Spencer will lead the workshop and provide guidance in writ- ing and submitting a Cultural Opportunity grant application to the Lane County Cultural Coalition for any activity that provides, expands or stimulates access, education, and/or awareness to Lane County res- idents in the areas of arts, her- itage or humanities. The Coalition, comprised of 12 Lane County cultural lead- ers, accepts grant applications once each year in October. The workshop is co-spon- sored by the Siuslaw Public Library. Spencer was appoint- ed to the Lane County Cultural DC3 Cody Wagner Siuslaw River. This position includes maintaining multiple housing units, including remodeling and modernizing as conditions warrant. This hard work creates a healthy and comfortable living space for Coast Guard families liv- ing onboard. “Petty Officer Wagner is an instrumental member of our crew. His hard work and self- lessness are admirable, and are in keeping with the Coast Guard’s core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty. He has certainly earned and is deserving of this honor," said BMC Ben Snider, executive petty officer. COURTESY PHOTO CROW received funding for last year’s performance of “Once Upon a Mattress.” Coalition last year. “I’m excited not only about the opportunities afforded by the group to improve cultural access, education and aware- ness to area residents, but also about the fact that Western Lane County received $9,450 in last year’s funding cycle — more than in any previous funding rounds,” said Spencer. There is no need to pre-reg- on the group’s website at www.laneculture.net. For more information, visit the Siuslaw Public Library online at www.siuslawlibrary. org. Buying or Selling? I can help.
