City Lights to screen
documentary on stand-up
City Lights Cinemas will be
presenting the documentary
film, “Dying Laughing,” on
Thursday, March 9, at 12:30
p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Dying Laughing is a candid
look inside the agony of mak-
ing people laugh for a living.
The film stars Jerry
Seinfeld, Amy Schumer, Jerry
Lewis, Bob Saget, Chris Rock,
Jamie Foxx, Sarah Silverman,
Steve Coogan, Bobby Lee and
the late Gary Shandling.
A stand-up comedian must
be the writer, director and star
performer. There’s no real
rehearsal, no practice and no
safety net when you’re in front
of a live audience.
For most people, baring
their soul on stage and having
an audience “boo” (or worse)
at you would become a life-
long trauma, but for stand-up
comedians it’s a nightly chal-
lenge.
The funny and heartfelt doc-
umentary contains original
interviews interlaced with per-
sonal footage of life on the
road — all from the comedi-
an’s point of view.
Once you take this step
behind the curtain, you wll
never look at these funny folks
the same way again.
Tickets for Dying Laughing
are currently available at City
Lights Cinema or online at
citylightscinemas.com.
Tickets are $9 for adults, $8
for seniors and students.

Library announces 2016’s ‘Best Books’ list
Siuslaw Public Library will
present its popular annual Best
Books list on Friday, March
10, beginning at 1 p.m., at the
main branch of the library in
the Bromley Room.
This hour-long program is
exciting, fast-paced, and cov-
ers about 60 books in 60 min-
utes. The list of best books is
once again prepared by Adult
Services Librarian Kevin
Mittge.
Each year, Mittge solicits
recommendations for the list
from library patrons, staff, vol-
unteers and national critics.
And, being a prolific reader
himself, he also adds his own
favorites. The event is free and
all genres are included in the
lightning-speed book sum-
maries.
This fun, annual program is
a must for both avid and casu-
al readers. Attend the popular
program to check the list for
the top 2016 favorites. One
book that library patrons raved
about in 2016 was Liane
Siuslaw Valley Fire Rescue
(SVFR) and Western Lane
Ambulance District (WLAD)
are working together to teach a
40-hour Emergency Medical
Responder (EMR) certification
class to members of SVFR,
Swisshome/Deadwood Fire
District and Mapleton Fire
District.
This training is funded
through the SVFR SAFER
Grant and the WLAD first
responder training fund. The
training is intended to enhance
the capabilities of local first
responders to better serve their
communities.
“This is an example of how
partnering with other respond-
ing agencies improves the serv-
ice to the people we are called
to help,” said Fire Chief Jim
Langborg, who also mentioned
that this demonstrates how
much dedication local volun-
teers put into becoming fire-
fighters and serving their com-
munities.

enjoyed most about compiling

that I haven’t read yet but now
want to.”
Everyone is sure to find a

p.m. at the 27th Street entrance
to the airport (Kingwood St.
and 27th St.). The city is pro-
viding disposal of yard debris
on the third Saturday of each
month from March through
October.
The disposal day in May will
be held on the second Saturday,
May 13, so as not to conflict
with Rhody Days.
The current cost to dispose a
standard pickup truck load or
small utility trailer (single axle
or less) of yard debris is $10;
medium utility trailer (10-12
feet in length) is $15; and a
large utility trailer (greater than
12 feet in length) is $20.
For loads larger than 20
cubic yards, the cost is $20 plus
$5/yard over.
Debris loads must be tied,
tarped, secured or covered in
the vehicle or trailer in a man-
ner that prevents any material
from leaving the vehicle or
trailer while in motion.
The 2017 Yard Debris
Disposal Days are: March 18,
April 15, May 13, June 17, July
15, August 19, Sept. 16, and
Oct. 21.
