H&G Show

“Vendors told me how well
they did with their products
— which aren’t available out-
side of shows like this —
after the first show,”
Thompson said. “That was an
endorsement of our show, the
people in the community and
the buying power of our
retirement community.”
For Walter-Sedlacek, the
annual show is a chance to
connect with the community.
“It’s always a wonderful
show, and different from oth-
ers I’ve attended. We have a
true hometown feel,” she said.
Thompson agreed that the
Florence show is “unique.”
“We’re a small market, and
Florence is kind of unique in
its success at 20 years. Home
shows aren’t doing well in
some of the bigger markets.
It’s a big deal,” he said. “It’s
about the community and how
the people interact, how they
respond and how friendly
they are.”
He added that the vendors,
space and attendees all fit
together in a way that makes
the community work.
“Jon does a really good job
of managing it all,” Walter-
Sedlacek said. “He always

Morgan started as a
Florence Police Department
reserve officer in 1998 and
joined the department as an
officer on June 25, 2001.
Florence City Council voted
to promote him to the level of
sergeant in October 2014. He
was fired from the depart-
ment after an internal investi-
gation in October 2015.
At that time, Morgan
wrote a letter to the editor in
the Siuslaw News and said,
“I want to say it has been in
my honor to protect and serve
the Florence community for
the better part of 17 years.”
finds a diverse assortment of
vendors, products and servic-
es. It’s a good balance.”
As for this year, Thompson
said the show will have “one
of our most unique mixes and
best variety” of products and
services, indoor and outside.
This year Laurel Bay
Gardens will again have the
centerpiece of the show: a
French garden market that
will showcase garden supplies
and decorations.
“It will be a great chance to
educate the community about
trends in gardening and home
decor,” Walter-Sedlacek said.
It also allows the garden
center to show its new pottery
venue and products.
David Sedlacek will set up
Laurel Bay Gardens’ exterior
display of upcycled pallet
projects and live plants at the
front of the FEC.
“People create a sense of
community at the events center
during the Home and Garden
Show,” Thompson said. “This
year will really exemplify
everything we do.”

A landslide near Heceta Head closed Highway 101.

from 1A
Those traveling north were
able to turn around at Sea Lion
Caves. Some Florence-area
residents and commuters got
caught on the north side of the
slide, and some missed a full
or partial day of work on
Monday.
ODOT confirmed that the
landslide was cleared by
Monday night, and that com-
muters could again pass
through.
PeaceHealth Peace Harbor
Medical Center has announced
its participation in the National
Rural Accountable Care
Consortium (NRACC), a pro-
gram designed to help rural
Medicare patients live long,
healthy lives.
As part of the new program,
Peace Harbor Medical Center
will hire and train a care coor-
dinator to work closely with
patients, helping seniors stay
healthy, get great care when
needed and avoid costly and
wasteful repetitive tests.
Peace Harbor will also have
access to important informa-
tion that will help community
physicians evaluate the servic-
es of distant specialists, hospi-
tals and other healthcare
providers to make the best rec-
ommendations for patients.
“When our patients want
support, they can come to us
for advice and assistance,”
said Rick Yecny, PeaceHealth
CAO. “We will help them find
the right healthcare providers,
coordinate their care and help
them get the best results.”
Initially, Peace Harbor will
introduce these new programs
for Medicare patients, but
hopes to expand to other types
of insurance as well.
The
National
Rural
Accountable Care Consortium
includes over 250 rural commu-
nity health systems in 40 states,
dedicated to helping rural
providers achieve the highest
level of healthcare quality, effi-
ciency and customer service.
