The City of Dunes City received a well-deserved safety award at the League of Oregon Cities annual conference late last week. The award, received by Florence Mayor Joe Henry on behalf of Dunes City, took home the Gold Safety Award for a City in Group 1 (having 1 to 14 employees.) City/County Insurance Services (CIS) presented the award in recognition of the city’s good employee safety record during the 2016-17 year. The annual CIS/League of Oregon Cities (LOC) award, more than three decades old, rewards cities with the fewest number of work days lost due to on-the-job injuries. It showcases employee safe- ty, focusing on training, a proven track record in avoiding injuries, and management’s commitment to a safe work environment. “At CIS, we've redoubled our focus on keeping safety front and center for our work- ers’ compensation program members,” said CIS’ Executive Director Lynn McNamara. “Our winners are cities that adopt safe work practices and make sure those practices are followed, day in and day out. “Their commitment and vig- ilance produces results: employees stay on the job, and costs stay down.” “Since I came to work for the city,” said City Administrator Jamie Mills, “the city has updated its Personnel Policy Handbook, has instituted quarterly safety training sessions, has provided storage for emergency supplies for each of our staff members, and has completed a number of long-standing safety issues in the form of anchoring shelving, posting escape routes, provid- ing emergency lighting, and other small, yet vital activities. “I’m pleased that this work has been recognized beyond our local area.” To learn more about the CIS safety award, visit cisoregon. org/SafetyAwards. 2150 Hwy. 101 • Florence (541) 997-3475 • 1-800-348-3475 Workshop to teach ways to identify ‘fake news’ VOICE YOUR OPINION!

Sometimes it is difficult to sort out truth from fiction in the overwhelming number of mes- sages directed at the public by politicians, news sources and other media. This workshop will help par- ticipants learn where to find accurate information and dis- tinguish the truth from fiction by employing critical thinking strategies. Real-life examples will be used to show how infor- mation can be, intentionally or not, distorted. Logical fallacies, political ads, news headlines, graphs and charts, the effect of lan- guage chosen to express ideas, and other types of information will be examined during the workshop in a “what do you see here?/what is missing?” format. This civics program will be facilitated by Donna Cohen. Both a teacher and librarian, Cohen is focused on presenting non-partisan workshops for adults that fill gaps in civic and political understanding and that encourage critical evaluation of information. She is actively involved in various civic/political projects. This civics workshop is designed for adults and is free. Reservations are not required but seating is limited so plan to arrive early.
