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

Eligible donors can find a

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.

to give blood in Lane County,

the American Red Cross at

City Lights Cinemas pres-
ents the eye-opening documen-
tary “SEED: The Untold
Story,” on Thursday, Jan.12 at
1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Few things on Earth are as
miraculous and vital as seeds.
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.

her own perspective, her own legacy, and,
perhaps hardest of all, her own grief from a
