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.

day Florence-to-top-of-the-
South-Sister adventure.
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. They are
available online at www.event
center.org, by phone at 541-
997-1994 and at the FEC box
office, 750 Quince St.
Welch spent 24 years at The
Register-Guard, 14 as general
columnist. He’s the founder of
The
Beachside
Writers
Workshop in Yachats and
author of more than 20 books,
the latest of which, “My
Oregon III,” will be released at
the event.
The book is Welch’s third
and final collection of Register-
Guard columns.

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

ShakeOut at http://shakeout

dropping, covering and hold-
ing on at the time of the drill.
