12 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JULY 2, 2016 Yachats Ladies unleash ‘Chasing Niagara’ to play at City Lights Cinemas ‘river of pie’ on Monday is a real challenge. First, the cutters arrive at 7:30 a.m. and start slicing pies into six servings per pie. Then slices are plated, labeled and placed on holding tables. Display tables are lined up along the west wall of the Ladies Club, creating nearly 40 linear feet with the width of the table allowing 4 slices of pie across. This creates what visitors say is a “river of pie.” For more information, call Sandy Dunn, 541-547-3205, or Elva Philp, 541-991-3014. Sturges, Evan Garcia and Tyler Bradt, to help him train and document the process. As they take on lightning fast rapids and massive water- falls in exotic locales, they soon find that what started as one man’s epic quest, evolves into an intense three-year journey of self-discovery and friendship that forces them to redefine their own definitions of bravery, purpose and ambi- tion. “While there are no 167- foot waterfalls for the large community of kayakers here in Florence to traverse,” says City Lights Manager Mister Ooh-La-La, “the film provides enough thrills and jaw-dropping moments to enliven the spirits and enthrall the imaginations of even the most reluctant of adventurers.” The film won the “Best Film” in the Mountain Sports category at the prestigious Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival. Sturges, who directed the film as well as participat- ed in the kayaking, says “Ultimately, Chasing Niagara was a major test on all levels. It challenged me, as it evolved into a creative burden that troubled me for years. All said and done, I’m glad that I took the time and stuck with it, because at times I didn’t know if it would ever come together. It was not the film I set out to create, |but in the end I hope it turned out to be a human story about adventure, passion, responsibility and true friend- ship.” “Chasing Niagara” will play twice on Tuesday, July 5, at 12:30 and 6 p.m. Regular ticket prices apply. come enjoy Relay For Life FUNDRAISER the festivities with us at: SATURDAY , JULY 9 • 2 PM AT OREGON PACIFIC BANK FINANCIAL CENTER 1365 HWY 101 Jewelry Workshop Featuring Jennifer Hoberg & Amanda Hendricks-Davis inside B uffet Style B arbeque Dinner Best Western Pier Point 7 :00 to 9:30pm Fireworks, Great Food, Music and Drinks $20 per adult • $5 per child All proceeds go to Relay For Life Team: Oregon Pacifi c Bank Banking on Life x No Host Cash Bar x $25 for Adults x Parking for AƩendees x $15 for Children x Non-alcoholic Beverage Included 12 and Under x Pre-Sale Tickets Recommended www.RelayForLife.Org/FlorenceOR Tickets available for Purchase at Best Western Front Desk 541-997-7191 A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town.
