strives to daylight the role of

The
Coast
Range
Association was formed in

region’s interests, protect its
natural and cultural endow-
ments and restore its rivers,
wetlands and forests.
The organization is commit-

region’s natural resources.
Cultural Perspectives: school
to host local logger/musician
Shoreline Christian School
invites homeschool and public
school students in grades K-8
to join them for an educational
and insightful presentation by
local singer/logger/historian,
Craig Jenkins.
As part of their local history
and culture curriculum, stu-
dents at Shoreline Christian
School in Florence have been
studying logging.
Teacher Karen Nelson has
invited Jenkins to share a few
of his original songs about life
in the woods along with stories
of adventure, and misadven-
ture, from the logging camps
of the Oregon Coast Range
and Alaska.
Nelson says students will
enjoy unique music and story-
telling while learning some of
the disappearing history of our
region.
Jenkins, a Mapleton resi-
dent, is a member of a multi-
generational logging family
and one-half of The Craig and
Terry Band, also known as
“The Singing Loggers.”
This free event will begin
at 9 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 26, at
Shoreline Christian School,
4445 Highway 101, Florence.
Nelson asks parents or
guardians to call 541-997-
5909 to reserve a spot for
themselves and their student.
Florence resident Dennis Baker had his camera ready as members of the U.S. Coast Guard performed maneu-
vers Sunday along the Siuslaw River.
Roby’s Furniture & Appliance holds annual ‘Serve Day’
For the ninth year in a row,
all Roby’s Furniture and
Appliance/The Mattress
Shoppe locations will close
for one day as employees
engage in community service
projects.
This year’s closure will be
today, Jan. 24.
“We view public service as
a very important function,”
said Bob Sneddon, Florence
store manager. “In past years,
we’ve refreshed teachers’
lounges at local schools,
worked in the Florence Food
Share community garden and
helped out at the Boys and
Girls Club.”

back room at the library, clear-
ing out obsolete and unused
items that have been stored for
several years.
By they time the crew is
done that afternoon, students
using the high school will
have a space that’s brighter
and more inviting, along with
a comfortable reading area.
“The library was very
important to me when I went
to high school here at
Siuslaw,” said Sneddon. “The
table and chairs we will be
replacing are original furniture
from the fall of 1970 when the
school first opened.”
In addition to the library
project, The Mattress Shoppe
at Roby’s furniture will deliv-
er four twin-size youth mat-
tresses to local families.
In November the store
offered a “buy one-give one”
promotion to customers and
two customers donated their
mattress for the project. Those
were doubled by Roby’s,
bringing the total up to four.
Roby’s Furniture and
Appliance pays employees for
their time on Serve Day, plus
provides the furniture and
mattresses. Paint and painting
supplies are provided courtesy
of Ron’s Paint and Supply.
The value of this year’s
Serve Day will exceed $4,000
in products and labor.
Roby’s is located at 1870
Highway 101 in Florence.

will be a “refresh” of portions
of the library at Siuslaw High
School.
Beginning at 9 a.m., the
Roby’s crew will converge on
the library to repaint the “pit”
computer lab in the library,
along with the walls around
the library entry and behind
the counter.
“We will also create a new
reading zone in the library,”
added Sneddon.
Three overstuffed easy
chairs and a pair of side tables
will replace a table and four
uncomfortable chairs in one
corner.
In addition to the fresh paint
and new furniture, some of the
