SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015 3 A Habitat seeks prayer leader Welch and Friends event to play FEC Sunday Habitat for Humanity of Florence is seeking a prayer leader to begin construction crews’ days on Wednesdays and Fridays. This five-minute commitment each day begins Author and retired Register- Guard columnist Bob Welch brings a show celebrating Oregon in stories, songs, images and s’mores to the Florence Events Center Sunday “My Oregon,” presented by Umpqua Bank in cooperation with Seacoast Entertainment Association, is an all-new show that comes on the heels of Welch’s 2014 live stage debut that sold out the Hult’s Soreng Theater. Beyond Welch’s Garrison Keillor-esque storytelling, the 2 p.m. matinee features Eugene Symphony cellist and guitarist Dale Bradley, who heads up a trio that includes the sympho- ny’s Lisa McWhorter (violin, viola) and Peter Norland (piano and cello). It was Bradley’s song “Generations,” inspired by a Welch book, that brought the two together for last year’s debut event. Four of the five songs the trio will play are original compositions by Bradley. With tongue in cheek, comedic poet David Perham will wax poetic about the state’s four major regions: the High Desert, the Cascades, the Willamette Valley and the coast. “We are, of course, saving the best for last,” said Welch, “the coast.” His family has owned a cabin in Yachats since 1936 and he spends plenty of time with sand between his toes. Welch will spin an array of stories, including his single- at 8 a.m. The construction site is 2930 Munsel Lake Road.

The show will feature pho- tography from six of Oregon’s best: Stan Newman and Jason Friesen, Eugene; Laren and JerriLynn Woolley (Oregon Coast Photography), Newport; Jorma Meriaho, Dexter; and Eric Valentine, La Grande. A special video piece will be presented by AO Films’ Ryan Welch, Bob’s older son. “What’s cool about ‘Welch and Friends’ is that we gather people with all these diverse talents and just let them do their things,” said Welch. “The results, last year attested, are pretty amazing. And this year, with the photography and video, we’re just adding to that ‘amazing.’” In keeping with the outdoor spirit of the state, attendees will be given free s’mores at inter- mission. Welch will be introduced by Florence’s own Rachel Pearson. Like last year, the produc- tion is under the direction of Judy Wenger, the Rose Children’s Theatre director and former drama teacher at Eugene’s Roosevelt Middle School. “This is no travelogue,” said Wenger. “It’s a romp across the state, east to west, that we hope will have people laughing, reflecting and falling in love all over again with this beautiful place.” Sponsors for the Florence event are Siuslaw River Coffee Roasters, the River House Inn, The Chicken Coop, City Lights Cinemas and Mari's Books in Yachats. Tickets are $27 for adults and $10 for students.

Business Name: Person Featured: Title: (Optional) Address: Phone #: E-Mail: Authorized by: for the world’s largest earth- quake drill, “The Great ShakeOut!” The Oregon Office of Emergency Managemen t (OEM) and partners through- out the state have been encour- aging individuals and families, schools, businesses, tribal, local, state and federal govern- ments, health care organiza- tions, and more to participate in the nationwide earthquake drill. More than 520,000 Oregonians have registered for the Great Oregon ShakeOut. The total in Oregon has nearly doubled in the last two years with increased interest in earthquake preparedness and awareness. Oregonians will join more than 40 million people world- wide for the largest earthquake drill in history. “Oregon is at risk for both crustal and subduction zone earthquakes that have the potential to destroy property and take lives,” said OEM Geologic Hazards Coordinator Althea Rizzo. “It’s critical that people know what to do during an earthquake so they can be sur- vivors,” Rizzo added. Recently, much attention has been given to the fact that Oregon is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a fault line stretching from California to British Columbia, that is due for a major quake and tsunami sim- ilar to the 2004 Boxing Day event in Indonesia and the 2011 Tohuku event in Japan. Register and learn more about the Great Oregon ShakeOut at http://shakeout .org/oregon/ and participate by dropping, covering and hold- ing on at the time of the drill.
