First presented two seasons ago, “BOATS” proved extremely popular with audi- ences, who enjoyed listening to true stories (or slightly embellished) that were also poignant, laugh-out-loud- funny, provocative and in some cases life changing. The storytellers are local friends, relatives, teachers, city councilors, pastors and restaurant servers. Between stories, Debra Young, musician and vocal L L E E O O M M L L I I D D 3 A SIGHTED AT SEA teacher at Siuslaw High School and Middle School, will provide brief piano inter- ludes as transitions.

This flat floor production has table seating with food and drinks available for pur- chase. The program begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 17, and Saturday, June 18. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the FEC box office, 715 Quince St. or online at eventcenter.org. Local photographer captures images, video of an orca swimming in the Siuslaw River O n Saturday around 5:30 p.m. Deborah Heldt Cordone and other onlookers observed an orca breaching in the Siuslaw River near the North Jetty dive area. “The orca was a sight to behold and I was able to get video,” Cordone said. “This orca arrived a year after the last big orca sighting after the Rhody parade day last year.” According to Cordone, the orca was large and had a tall and straight dorsal fin and tail characteristics of a male. Cordone also captured images of a small fishing boat near the whale. Her video of the sighting can be found at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0EAWfxvCA.
