Prescription drop box reopens
at Florence Justice Center
The City of Florence is
pleased to announce that the
prescription drug drop box is
once again available at the
Florence Justice Center. The
prescription drug disposal
drop box will be available to
the public Monday through
Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the
lobby of the Florence Justice
Center, at 900 Greenwood St.
This is a great way to safely
dispose of your outdated or
unused prescription and over
the counter medications. Due
to the construction of our box,
and its relatively small size, do
not package any containers
together in boxes or bags.
The box does not accept any
liquid medications or sharps
(used needles or lances).
The city hopes this conven-
ient disposal option can help
keep area families safe and the
waterways clean in Florence.
This box is intended for use
by the public, it is not intended
for usage by commercial facil-
ities.
If you have any questions or
concerns, contact the Florence
Police Department at 541-997-
3515.

Florence community invited to write Haiku
The Florence Regional Arts
Alliance (FRAA) Poetry
Committee is celebrating April
as National Poetry month, with
an invitation to the Florence
Community to write a haiku
poem. A haiku is an unrhymed
three-line poem, based on a tra-
ditional Japanese poetic form.
Though there are different
ways to write haiku, the tradi-
tional pattern in English is to
write the first and last lines
with five syllables each, and
the middle line with seven syl-
lables.
For example:
“The river runs through,
Birds and sea lions share the
space
With boats at the dock.”
The subject matter for the
haiku is a celebration of
Florence — the river, ocean,
dunes, places or the people. All
haiku poems need to be
emailed to Bettieandkiki@
yahoo.com (put Haiku in sub-
ject line) or turned into the
FRAA Art Center, 120 Maple
St. in Old Town, by Friday,
April 15, at 5 p.m.
Include your name, phone
number, email and age if you
are under 18.
The best of the poems will
be added to mixed media
pieces and hung around town
until May 7, when they will be
brought to the Florence Events
Center to decorate for the
Spoken Word Poetry Contests
which take place that day.
The youth contest for any-
one 18 and under takes place at
2 p.m., with free admission for
anyone in the audience.
The main Spoken Word
Poetry Contest starts at 6 p.m.
with a $10 admission fee.
Spoken word artists from
around the state will be gather-
ing in Florence to compete for
the largest cash prizes offered
for poetry.
First place will receive $500,
second place wins $250, and
third place will receive $100.
For more information, call
Bettie Egerton at 503-910-
3625 or visit www.fraaoregon
