Great For: Smoothies • Freezer Jam • Toppings Sign up by May 25th Delivered by Early June After almost two years of negotiations, the Port of Siuslaw is now in possession of a floating restroom to be launched and moored in the Siuslaw River later this sum- mer. The floating restroom is intended to relieve congestion at the port’s two-lane boat ramp and the land-based rest- rooms located on port property by offering fishermen and crab- bers a relief station mid-river. The port applied for and received a grant in 2013 to pur- chase and install the floating restroom. Most of the funding was provided by a federal Clean Vessel Act grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. The esti- mated project cost upon instal- lation is $65,000.

Davenport is adept at conveying tremendous feeling with the slightest flicker of longing or heartache that regis- ters on her face. “She’s well matched with Manning, an actress unafraid of chewing the scenery, as evi- denced on ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ ‘A Light Beneath Their Feet’ is a triumph of empathetic filmmaking.” “A Light Beneath Their Feet” will play twice on Thursday, June 2, at 12:30 and 6:30 p.m. Regular ticket prices apply.

Roth relocated to Florence two years ago from Northern California, where she owned her own salon and worked full time as stylist and colorist for 31 years. Her experience has allowed her to make this shift in her dream of living on the coast to come true. Roth invites her clients and new friends to come in and share the Renu experience. “Your look, your way,” says Roth. Renu’s new location is 1739 there is a time limit on how long boats may be tied up at the dock. Some boaters choose not to use the facilities and use the river or an on-board bucket, where the contents end up being dumped in the river. The Oregon Marine Board issued a statement that said, “Floating restrooms will better serve boaters during the heavi- est crabbing and fishing sea- sons, and are available for all forms of boaters, from paddlers to cruisers. Floating restrooms statewide captured over 16,000 gallons of sewage in 2015, which helps protect the delicate balance of our waterways.” The port plans to hold a press conference Thursday, May 26, to announce the launch date of the restroom and hold a contest to name the facility.
