‘Just One Drop’ documentary
comes to City Lights Cinemas
Wellspring Clinic and City
Lights Cinemas will bring the
interesting and informative
“Just One Drop” film to town
on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 2:30
p.m.
Homeopathy is a 200-year-
old system of medicine that is
used worldwide. According to
a 2017 report, hundreds of
thousands of physicians and
over 500 million consumers
use homeopathic medicines
around the globe. Homeopathic
medicine is widely regarded as
an effective medical practice
with an extraordinary record of
safety.
Homeopathy is especially
popular in Europe, India and
South America, where many
national health services provide
homeopathic treatment along
with conventional medicine. A
recent Harvard study states that
since 2007 the number of U.S.
households using homeopathy
has increased by 15 percent.
If homeopathy is so popular
worldwide, why is still consid-
ered so controversial in the
practice of medicine, especially
in the U.S? Since most homeo-
pathic medicines are regulated
as over-the-counter drugs, why
does the FDA repeatedly seek
to further restrict homeopathy's
place in the healthcare system?
“Just One Drop” explores
these and other questions,
including what homeopathy is
and is not — by everyday peo-
ple, skeptics, proponents and
some of the world's finest
homeopaths.
Organizers hope to see you
at City Lights Cinemas on Feb.
25, when Dr. Mark Immel will
give an introduction before the
film, and will conduct a brief Q
& A session after the show.
Standard ticketing applies,
and are available at the door or
at www.citylightscinemas.com.
The movie trailer is available
to view at thewellspringclin-

International quilt show in Yachats
A display of the 2016
International Challenge Art
Quilt Show will be at the
Yachats Commons on Feb. 24
and 25. The theme is “World
Heritage Sites.”
The concept for the
International Quilt Challenge
was born in 2003, after Izumi
Takamori, owner of The Pin
Cushion, a quilting store in
Tokyo, Japan, met Sue
Cutsogeorge of Eugene, Ore.,
during a quilters tour of Japan.
Since then, Takamori and her
quilting friends have chal-
lenged artists in various coun-
tries. Themes of past exhibits
have included the alphabet,
world currency, world festi-
vals, world painters, world
fairy tales and now, for the sec-
ond time, World Heritage Sites.
The current group of quilts
debuted at the November 2016
Handmade Makers Show in
Yokohama. Since that time,
they have toured Japan and
South Korea, and are now tour-
ing the US. A large number of
the US quilts have been made
by fiber artists from the Pacific
Northwest, including Yachats
artist Ruth Bass.
Quilters in each of three
nations, the U.S., Japan and
South Korea, were given a list
of 30 World Heritage Sites.
Thirty quilters from each
nation represented one of the
heritage sites in a piece of fiber
art. The result is 90 small
quilts, hung vertically on pan-
The Florence Public Art
Committee has created an
exciting new program to
enhance the beauty and livabil-
ity of the local community by
regularly introducing original
outdoor art into Florence to
create a unique sense of place
and enhance community identi-
ty.
This program, called “Art
Exposed — Dynamic Public
Art” provides a creative outlet
for artists to display their work,
and artists are encouraged to
submit unique pieces that
demonstrate extraordinary cre-
ativity and elicit a feeling of
“Wow” from all who view
them.
Many cities around the
world are engaged in programs
of this type and it creates
excitement for both the com-
munity and visitors.
