What people say you cannot do, you try and fi nd that you can. —Henry David Thoreau *** Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live with- out and know we cannot live within. —James Baldwin *** He who joyfully marches in rank and fi le has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffi ce. —Albert Einstein *** A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a fi rst ef- fort. —Sydney Smith *** What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call thought, that we must make it the model of the whole universe. —David Hume CLEANING SERVICES D-070 CONSTRUCTION/CONTRACTORS PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE On July 25, 2017, the Florence Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 250 Hwy. 101, in the City of Florence, Oregon, regard- ing: RESOLUTION PC 17 15 ANN 01: To consider a request for annexation of 05516, 05516-1 and 05518 North Fork Sius- law Road, Map# 18-12-24-32, Tax Lot 02100 and abutting North Fork Road.
