Most people have heard of the
3Rs of environmentally
friendly behavior-
REDUCE is to use less of something.
Use less water, turn off lights,
use both sides of a paper.
REUSE is to use an item again. Refi ll a water bottle, reuse a
container and buy reusable bags.
RECYCLE is to make new items from old ones; recycle
bottles, glass, paper, cans, plastic, cardboard & more.

Decluttering, Spring Cleaning and Recycling
Donate or Sell: There are probably plenty of
items that you don’t need or want anymore,
but someone else would appreciate. If you
think the item has value, try selling it on a
garage sale, swap and sell site, or online site
like eBay. Donating your items to places
like Goodwill, St. Vincent De Paul or a local
clothing drive, will help to give the items new
life.

“Catherine’s ability to cap-
ture the uniqueness of individ-
uals within our community is a
true gift, and one we feel very
fortunate to share with our
readers,” said Siuslaw News
editor Ned Hickson.
Rourke’s entries were select-
ed from the work of thousands
of journalists at daily and
weekly newspapers around the
country.
“What a wonderful service
sharing these stories that ele-
vate hard working, good people
who inspire readers,” one
NFPW contest judge said of
Rourke’s profile series.
The NFPW annual press
competition recognizes the
work of journalists on four tiers
— First, Second, Third Place
and Honorable Mention — and
in more than 37 news cate-
gories.
All first-place stories are
then entered in the National
Finalists Competition. NFPW
will announce the final round
of first-place winners at its
annual journalism conference
in September.
Rourke has been a member
of NFPW since 1996. The
Washington, D.C.-based press
association, founded in 1938,
supports women’s work in the
media,
upholds
First
Amendment rights and advo-
cates for Freedom of the Press
as its mission.
Educated at the City
University of New York, the
University of Oxford/England
and the Walter Cronkite School
of Journalism, Rourke began
her career at The Miami Herald
in the 1970s and has served as
a reporter, photographer and
editor at daily and weekly
newspapers around the country
and as an editor for national
magazines.
Known for her unusual style
of “narrative literary journal-
ism,” she worked for 20 years
as an investigative reporter
specializing in social justice
and medical issues and as a
book editor for Amazon and
Random House.
The native New Yorker and
author moved to Florence in
2013. She teaches creative
writing at the Florence
Regional
Arts
Alliance
(FRAA), serves as a freelance
book editor and is completing a
memoir about her adventures
titled “Forgive Us Our Press
Passes — Confessions of a
Modern-Day Muckraker.”
“Journalism is not about
awards but about the reward of
telling people’s stories and giv-
ing them a voice,” Rourke said.
“In a world obsessed with
celebrities, I prefer to share the
wisdom of unsung heroes and
celebrate their extraordinary
contributions to humanity and
our community.
“My pen is simply the violin
through which the music is
played.”
