SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2017 Winter storms increase need for blood donors The American Red Cross is urging eligible donors throughout the Pacific North- west to give blood or platelets following the recent winter storm, which has compounded a severe winter blood short- age. Snow and icy roads forced 16 blood drives to cancel in the Pacific Northwest causing more than 450 donations to go uncollected. Hectic holiday schedules and weather contributed to about 37,000 fewer donations in November and December than what was needed. “The need for blood doesn’t pause for severe weather — it’s constant,” said Neil Tosun- tikool of the Pacific Northwest Red Cross Blood Services Region. “Right now, blood and platelet donations are being 3 A City breaks ground on new public works facility distributed to hospitals faster than they are coming in. Eligible donors of all blood types are critically needed.” Eligible donors can find a blood donation opportunity and schedule an appointment by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-733- 2767. The Red Cross is extending hours at many donation sites for more donors to give blood or platelets. Overall, the Red Cross has added nearly 200 hours to blood donation cen- ters and community blood drives across the country over the next few weeks. For information on where to give blood in Lane County, contact the Eugene office of the American Red Cross at 541-344-5244.

They feed us, clothe us, and provide the raw materials for our everyday lives. In a very real sense, they are life itself. Yet in our modern world, these precious gifts of nature are in grave danger. In less than a century of industrial agriculture, our once abundant seed diversity— painstakingly created by ancient farmers and gardeners over countless millennia—has been drastically winnowed down to a handful of mass-pro- duced varieties. Under the spell of industrial “progress” and a lust for profit, our quaint family farmsteads have given way to mechanized agribusinesses sowing geneti- cally identical crops on a mon- strous scale. Without seed diversity, crop diseases rise and empires fall. More than a cautionary tale of “man against nature,” the remarkable story of seeds is an epic “good-versus-evil” saga playing out in our modern lives. For eons, cultures around the world have believed seeds to be our birthright: a covenant with the earth shared by all and passed down across genera- tions. But today, our seeds are increasingly private property held in corporate hands. A cadre of ten agrichemical companies (including Syng- enta, Bayer and Monsanto) now controls more than two- thirds of the global seed mar- ket, reaping unprecedented profits. Seed libraries, community gardens, and a new generation of passionate young farmers are cropping up to shift the bal- ance toward a more sustainable and sovereign seed paradigm. A David and Goliath battle is underway, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Following the 6:30 p.m. showing, join Cottage Grove grower and seed expert John Yager for a Q&A about his own personal battle with pre- serving seeds and how he views the importance of retain- ing seed integrity. Tickets for “SEED: The Untold Story” are currently available at City Lights Cinemas or online at city lightscinemas.com. Tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $7 for youth.
