City Lights offers exclusive film Casino hosts community job fair
preview series today
The New York Film Critics
Series (NYFCS), a premiere
screening company, has part-
nered with the nation’s leading
independent cinemas, includ-
ing City Lights Cinemas in
Florence, to present live, in-
theater events.
The evenings are moderated
by Peter Travers, film critic for
Rolling Stone Magazine and
ABC’s Popcorn.
NYFCS offers screenings of
movies before their theatrical
release and presents interac-
tive, big-screen and HD broad-
cast with the stars and film-
makers.

Florence and Reedsport’s
signs and blue lines are
already installed, but the other
communities are awaiting a
break in the rain.

“Instead of waiting for
weeks for some specialty film
releases, this series gives
Florence the chance to be
among the first in the nation to
experience the film — and see
interviews that won’t be seen
anywhere else but inside a the-
atre,” says Michael Falter,
owner of City Lights Cinemas.
The next NYFCS event, the
first to appear at City Lights,
will be today, March 16, at
noon and 7:30 p.m., with pre-
view screenings of “The
Confirmation” with live on
screen appearances by Clive
Owen, Jaeden Lieberher and
writer/director Bob Nelson.
Owen shines in this comedy
about an estranged father and
son whose weekend adventure
leads to something they never
imagined: a true family con-
nection.
“I loved Nelson’s Oscar
nominated film “Nebraska,”
and his new film is equally
knowing about father/son rela-
tionships, which I think
Florence audiences will appre-
ciate,” says Falter.
Regular ticket prices apply:
$9 regular, $8 for senior, $7.50
for matinees and $6.50 for City
Lights membership holders.
ect came to about $13,000, so
there’s a great example of
what we can do with even
small pots of money. We
would be able to do a lot more
with great big pots of money,
but this is a great start.”
The director of OEM, Andrew
Phelps, said that preparedness
messaging is a big part of the
department’s work, especially as
it learns from other national and
global disasters.
“As we commemorate the
five-year anniversary of the
Japanese earthquake and
tsunami, it’s really a time to
reflect on those who were

Three Rivers Casino Resort
will host a community job fair
on Thursday, March 24, from
10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., in the
casino’s Event Center.
The event will offer more
than 50 available positions
within the local community.
Attendance is free and all
ages are welcome.
“We are happy host the com-
munity job fair in our Event
Center,” said Mike Rose, COO
at Three Rivers Casino Resort.
“The event will provide ample
opportunities for job seekers in
Florence.”
The event will offer valuable
employment
opportunities
from various businesses in the
community. Participants will
impacted by that event in
Japan and the impact it had
here in the U.S., especially the
West Coast,” Phelps said.
An earthquake and tsunami
on March 11, 2011, caused
massive loss of life and prop-
erty damage in Japan. Debris
continues to wash ashore on
Oregon beaches.
“Bad things don’t happen in
Oregon very often. We’re a
pretty easy state to live in,”
Phelps said. “We sometimes
have an apathetic response to
preparedness that ‘it’s not
going to happen here.’ Luckily,
we have communities like this
one that are engaged in pre-
paredness and willing to
implement innovative projects,
like the Blue Line Project. It
empowers communities to
understand that there are a lot
of things we can do — and
they can do — to be survivors
have the ability to connect with
local employers and find
resources for a great career.
The job fair will feature on-
hand assistance to job seekers
provided by Worksource Lane
(Employment Department). In
addition to job recruitment, the
event will feature volunteer
opportunities.
“Lane Community College
at Florence is excited to be par-
ticipating in this event that
focuses on local career oppor-
tunities and businesses.
“We strive to provide mem-
bers of our rural community a
path to finding a new career or
to enhance existing skills to
move into the workforce,” said
Beth Habian, administrative
coordinator
at
Lane
Community College. “Whether
you’re interested in earning an
associate degree, a certificate
or planning to transfer to a uni-
versity, check out what LCC
Florence has to offer.”
Approximately 24 business
and community partners will
be represented at the job fair,
including Angell Job Corps
and Driftwood Shores.
There will be several job
categories available, including
healthcare, grocery stores,
restaurants, resorts, youth
opportunities, state and federal,
and education.

following a disaster.”
DeFazio said that he is
working on bills in
Washington, D.C, to bring
additional emergency mitiga-
tion and early warning pro-
grams to the West Coast.
“In D.C., I’m trying to bring
attention to our looming prob-
lems out here. I visited Japan
recently and learned a lot
about what they’re doing for
preparedness,” he said.
He hopes to increase detec-
tion buoys along the Cascadia
Fault and to continue to find
ways of improving notification
time. He advised looking into
an emergency alarm that could
reach cell phone users, instead
of just the traditional sirens.
“I appreciate what Florence
has done here. It’s extraordi-
nary,” DeFazio said.
Florence and the Western
Lane Emergency Operations
Group (WLEOG) approved the
region’s Emergency
Operations Plan earlier in
March.
“Florence is excited to be
part of the Tsunami Blue Line
project with OEM and we wel-
come you to Florence,
Oregon’s premier coastal com-
munity,” Henry said.
At 11 a.m., the city’s tsuna-
mi siren sounded and the
group walked to the nearest
Blue Line, on Rhododendron
Drive at Highway 101.
As they left, DeFazio said,
“I’m really looking forward to
seeing these blue lines.”

“FACC has agreed to serve
as our umbrella organization so
the people that donate now can
get a tax-deductible receipt
from their organization,”
Mann-Heintz said. “Until the
SEF 501(c)(3) is operational,
checks for the foundation need
to be made out to the FACC,
which will forward the money
on to the SEF.”
SEF currently has 11 board
members, including Mapleton
Superintendent Jodi O’Mara
and Siuslaw Superintendent
Ethel Angal.
“The superintendents are an
important component because
the districts will determine
what is important in their prior-

ities,” Mann-Heintz said.
She said the foundation has
room for up to 20 board mem-
bers, and it is particularly inter-
ested in board members with
students currently in the
schools.
“Foundation requests from
the schools can come from the
individual classroom level, the
building level or the district
level,” Mann-Heintz said.
“Then the foundation, in col-
laboration with the district,
would decide whether this is a
priority, and then how they
would fund it.”
According to Mann-Heintz,
the school culinary program
could benefit from additional
grant money, as well as voca-
tional classes like metal shop
and auto body.
Theater, music and the arts
are also chronically under-
funded electives.
“In addition to our primary
mission of raising money, we
want to be champions for the
districts to the community,”
Mann-Heintz said.
She added, “All of the peo-
ple we older residents depend
on for our quality of life have
young families and we will not
have those support people to
make our lives better unless we
support the schools. We have
lost and continue to lose fami-
lies because the school systems
don’t offer enough.”
