The major part of Coast Radio’s monthly news maga- zine, Our Town, will deal with efforts over the past 18 months on the part of local government officials to diversify and strengthen the local economy. One of the first goals set out nearly two years ago when Joe Henry was sworn in as Mayor of Florence was to strengthen what he saw as weak and inef- fective efforts to make local employers stronger and attract new businesses that would complement the existing econ- omy, rather than fragment it. He has been assisted by the Economic Development Committee, most recently chaired by Mike Rose. Rose, the Chief Operating Officer of Three Rivers Casino and Resort , is just one of more than a dozen residents on the for the 10 days to two weeks it may take for government assis- tance in the event of a calamity that might strike the entire Pacific Northwest at any time. The show will also disguss long term care for the elderly and those with chronic condi- tions Dr. Stephen Kerner has been practicing medicine in the Florence area with PeaceHealth Medical Group for more than a decade. Earlier this year he was able to convince clinic managers to form a practice aimed at pallia- tive care, the practice of pro- viding soothing, long term care for the chronically ill. Kerner is the Medical Director of PHMG’s new Palliative Care practice that is providing care at area assisted living and memory care facili- ties. One major catch though, Medicare and common insur- ance coverage does not pay for most of the service, so they’ve had to raise money for the pilot program that they hope will show it can be a cost-effective way to provide treatment and care. Also on Our Town, the Last Resort Players open their pres- entation of Gilbert and committee that includes retired executives, small business owners and representatives of local government and large employers. All of the efforts have been coordinated at City Hall by City Manager Erin Reynolds. The trio will visit with Our Town Host Bob Sneddon about their efforts so far; as well as what is coming in the future. Also on the show: Mykel Hawke is the host of Lost Survivors on the Travel Channel. The former special forces soldier has made a media career out of showing people how to prepare them- selves for the “wilderness experience,” something disas- ter prep-experts say we are all likely to encounter when a magnitude-9 earthquake and a resulting tsunami strike the Oregon Coast. Hawke is just one expert who will be on hand Saturday at the Disaster Preparedness Expo at the Florence Events Center. He visited with Our Town host Bob Sneddon this week and will explain how prepared- ness can prevent panic, as well as equip local residents to ade- quately take care of themselves WEDNESDAY THURSDAY Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance. The comic opera debuted in New York City in 1880 and since then has been presented thousands of times. Jen Wieir is the musical director of the show, Leah Goodwin is the stage director. They, along with Sandy Vaccaro, who plays the role of the “Pirate King,” will talk about the challenges they have faced — as well as the fun they have had — in putting together the production. It opens Friday evening, Nov. 4, at the Florence Events Center, running through this weekend before appearing three more times: Nov. 11 through 13. Our Town is sponsored by Andy Baber of Edward Jones Investments; Holloway and Associates CPAs; the Archives Photo Restoration Specialists, Lane Community College in Florence, Siuslaw Public Library and PeaceHealth Medical Group. It airs on KCST, FM 106.9, the first Wednesday of each month between 4 and 6 p.m., then again the next morning on KCFM, AM1250-FM 104.1 from 10 a.m. to noon.
