At the council meeting on March 21, Florence City Council voted to award grants of $1,000 to representatives
from Siuslaw High School Project Graduation, Florence Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, Children’s Repertory
of Oregon Workshops (CROW) and Florence Food Share. The council voted last year to add a grant program to
the 2015-16 fiscal year. There were five grants available, and only four applicants. The grants will contribute to a
location rental for a drug- and alcohol-free post-graduation celebration, purchase cots for the shelter, assist
CROW in its building renovations and help Food Share with needed building improvements.

Dave’s Weekly Garden Tip
Use a soil thermometer to help you know
when to plant vegetables. Some cool season
crops (onions, kale, lettuce, and spinach) can
be planted when the soil is consistently at or
above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
PULL OVER If the downpour or spray from other
vehicles is too heavy, just stop driving.
When visibility is so low that you can't see the edges of
the road or the vehicles in front of you, pull off the road
as far as possible, turn on your hazard lights and wait
out the storm.
Make sure your tires are operating safely and efficiently.
Call or come in today for your FREE Tire Check!
