SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 2016 Viewfinders announce December winners Winning photos by Viewfinders Camera Club members (from left) Ed Wilent, Betty Romero and Stephanie Ames he theme for the December meeting of the Viewfinders Camera Club was “All Indoors.” Ed Wilent took first place with a photograph of a lily. It T was partly in color, partly in black and white and partly in outline. Second place went to Betty Romero for her stunning pic- ture of the interior of a church. Stephanie Ames took third with a black and white depiction of a doorway and stairs that was both beautiful and thought provok- ing. Next month’s meeting will be Monday, Jan. 4, at 6 p.m. at Siuslaw Public Library, 1460 Ninth Street. The theme is “Unusual Shapes.” Rotary offers adult education fellowship grant Are you a teacher or non- profit professional looking for a chance to increase your skills? Do you want to bring an exciting new program to your students or clients that will require specialized train- ing? The Florence Rotary Club’s Continuing Professional Education Fellowship pro- gram is offering two $2,000 fellowships to support local people who serve the commu- nity. The simple application is due by Friday, Jan. 15, at 4 p.m. To apply, visit www.the florencerotary.org, select “Club Links” from the left menu, and select “Fellowship Grant.” Seven years after the Rotary Professional Edu- cation grant first began, more than a dozen local teachers and nonprofit professionals have received training and education. Here are some of the results: • A middle school science teacher attended a graduate- level course at Portland State University focused on engi- neering and design education. • An elementary school teacher who was struggling to engage the highest and lowest achievers in her classroom used our funding to attend a national conference about using tablets to manage differ- entiated learning. This approach advocates the use of small workstations throughout a classroom where students can learn in different ways — using a computer or tablet, touching or interacting with objects, engaging in dis- cussion or pursuing individual study. • A counselor received training to teach women and children how to deal with and prevent domestic abuse. Anyone engaged in serving the community is eligible, and complete details about the program are available online. ‘Crab cracking’ event will benefit Food Share The fifth annual Florence Crab Crack will take place Saturday, Feb. 6, from 4 to 7 p.m. (or until all the crab is gone) at the Florence Events Center. Only 400 tickets will be available and, in the past, this event has had early sellouts. This year is expected to be a sellout as well, so guests are encouraged to get tickets early. Guests will enjoy Oregon coast Dungeness crab with all the trimmings, including pasta, coleslaw, French bread, BJ’s dessert, sodas and coffee. A no-host bar will also be available. In addition, an array of items will be up for bid at a silent auction to be held during the event. All proceeds from the Crab Crack will benefit Florence Food Share, the local food pantry that provides resources to those facing hunger in west- ern Lane County. Currently, Florence Food Share serves approximately 650 households made up of some 1,800 individuals. For information, group seating or tickets, call Bob MacDuffee at 541-997-9599 or email dunesguy97439 @yahoo.com. Tickets are also available at Florence Food Share, 2190 Spruce Street, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be no ticket sales at the door for the event.
