Concert to benefit PHPH Palliative Care program
Palliative care is an
approach that improves the
quality of life of patients and
their families facing the prob-
lems associated with life-
threatening illness, through the
prevention and relief of suffer-
ing by means of early identifi-
cation and treatment of pain.
It also addresses physical,
psychosocial and spiritual
aspects. It is the care that a
patient receives when they
don’t qualify for Home Health
and are not ready for Hospice.
On June 30, at 7 p.m., a spe-
cial folk music concert spon-
sored by Peace Harbor Medical
Center and hosted at the
Florence Events Center will
raise funds for this unique pro-
gram and its expansion of serv-
ices beyond Florence and into
Mapleton and the other up-
river communities.
To do this, philanthropy will
be a major funding source due
to the lack of reimbursements
from most insurance providers
as well as Medicare and
Medicaid.
The concert won’t be “sell-
ing” tickets but will be request-
ing a donation of at least $25
per person.
Among those performing
will be:
Mike
and
Carleen
McCornack: From Eugene,
the duo has shared their musi-
cal artistry with grateful audi-
ences for more than four
decades. From coffee houses to
concert halls, the McCornacks’
beautifully crafted songwriting
comes to life in their music
with superb vocal harmony and
sparkling guitar accompani-
ment that touches the heart and
never fails to tickle the funny
bone. They are award-winning
songwriters and two-time win-
ners of the Florence Winter
Folk Festival’s People's Choice
Award.
Kray Van Kirk: A singer-
songwriter delivering perform-
ances that the Borderline Folk
Club in New York called
“...what every singer-song-
writer should aspire to,” his
creative writing, guitar artistry
and wonderful voice leaves
audiences asking for more.
His warm and intimate con-
certs on six- and 12-string gui-
tars have received critical
praise from the house concert
circuit to festivals and larger
stages.
He has just released his first
The New Folksters: A
group of folk singers from
Eugene who combine wonder-
ful harmony with hot instru-
mentals. The group includes
Hal Weiner (guitar, banjo, uke,
vocals), Keith Barr (6- and -2
string guitar, vocals), and
Beverly Schriver (kazoo, egg
shaker, vocals).
Their performances are fun
and include 60s folk songs,
contemporary folk tunes, rol-
licking jugband and ragtime
ditties. They have been com-
pared to The Kingston Trio,
The Limeliters and The
Rooftop Singers.

tars and bowed psaltery), per-
form songs from all over the
acoustic world. Their concerts
are a mixture of pop, jazz,
gospel and folk (original, tradi-
tional, and/or contemporary)
but always great harmonies and
instrumentals.

MEET Rory
Hello, my name is Rory! I am a very
active young girl who loves to go out to the
yard and have lots of fun either tugging or
fetching. I also like to go for walks. I need
someone to teach me my leash manners, I
am still very young and have not yet been
taught the basics a dog should be taught.
I do have a dog friend. It can be diffi cult
for other dogs to accept me, because
my energy level can sometimes be
overwhelming when meeting new dogs. I
really need someone who is going to work
with me on becoming the best dog I can
be, and who will be my best friend forever!
Any approved adopters that already
have a dog in the home must bring their
dog in for a quick meet and greet to make
sure they will be a good match.
