selected a design submitted by
Susan Johnson as its official
logo
for
the
110th
Rhododendron Festival.
The design incorporates the
iconic Siuslaw River bridge,
rhododendrons, an anchor
and rope, and includes the
words “110th Rhododendron
Festival, May 19 to 21, 2017,
Florence, Oregon,” and the
theme “Always Ready to
Rhody.”
The theme integrates the
U.S. Coast Guard’s motto
Semper Paratus (Always
Ready).

Economic
development
efforts, caring for those with
long-term chronic illness, the
difficulties in ending a pirate
apprenticeship, and disaster
preparedness will highlight the
November edition of KCST
Coast Radio’s Our Town.
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
