When Linder was in her 20s, her legs suddenly started to swell. After years of misdiagnoses, doc- tors discovered a deadly blockage in her liver. Struggling to find an explana- tion for her unusual condition, Linder compared the medical chart of her father — who had died from a mysterious illness 10 years prior — with that of an uncle who had died under simi- Library Tidings, a regular feature larly strange circumstances. of the Siuslaw News, Delving further into the past, features news about she discovered that her great- upcoming Siuslaw grandmother had displayed Public Library pro- symptoms similar to hers before grams for adults and her death. children, new books and videos, and other Clearly, Linder’s illness was library news of interest more than a fluke. to the community.

Here, Linder tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the lives that advances in genomic medicine still have a potential to save. Digging into family records and medical history, conducting interviews with relatives and friends, and reflecting on her own experiences with Dr. Seidman, Linder pieces together the lineage of this deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable explo- ration of family, history and love. A compelling chronicle of sur- vival and perseverance, “The Family Gene” is an important story of a young woman reckon- ing with her father’s death, her own mortality and her ethical obligations to herself and those closest to her.

Annual backpack giveaway Sunday Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Wireless Retailer, has announced that its TCC and Wireless Zone stores are donating 172,000 backpacks full of school supplies to ensure children across the U.S. are well prepared for the start of the school year. Students in Florence can benefit from the giveaway Sunday, July 23, during the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Since 2013, TCC has donat- ed more than 500,000 back- packs filled with supplies to ensure children are well pre- pared for the start of the school year. Between 1 and 4 p.m., fami- lies can bring their children to the store to pick up a backpack filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, glue and more. “This is our fifth TCC School Rocks Backpack Giveaway, and we are ecstatic to bring Wireless Zone on board to assist in supporting the education of young chil- dren in our communities,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, parent company of TCC and Wireless Zone. “We are proud to help our local families prepare for the upcoming school year by tak- ing some of the financial bur- den off their shoulders.” Nearly 1,000 participating TCC and Wireless Zone stores across the U.S. are inviting local families and their chil- dren to visit select locations to pick up a backpack. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. The Florence store is located at 2775 Highway 101.

In 2016, the National Retail Federation predicted the aver- age person with children in grades K-12 would spend $107.76 on school supplies, which has increased from last year’s prediction of $97.74. With nearly 20 percent of children in the U.S. living in poverty, TCC is working to alleviate the rising costs of school supplies through this annual program. TCC continues to make ongoing investments through its Culture of Good movement. Earlier this year, TCC donated supply packs to more than 5,610 teachers across the U.S. and 3,000 care kits to senior living communities.
