“If you appreciate wine, art or jazz, you’re
invited. Come enjoy,” said Jon Thompson,
owner of Coast Radio. “Last year’s inaugural
FlorenceFest was a great success. We hosted
several hundred wine, art and jazz aficionados
from throughout Oregon and the West Coast.
The quality of the wine, art, food and music was
critical to last year’s big success, and this year’s
event is shaping up to be even better.”
The juried art show and sale will be conduct-
ed by Margaret Prentice, who has curated
numerous exhibitions throughout the Northwest.
She is currently a Professor Emeritus in the
University of Oregon’s Art Department. Her
work is featured in more than 55 public collec-
tions, the Getty Museum and leading university
galleries.
The show and sale will include 60-plus final-
ists out of more than 100 entries from Florence,
Eugene, Portland, Ashland and nine other states
as far away as the East Coast.
The top-three best-in-show prizes range from
$250 to $1,000, with additional cash awards of
$250 for best in 2-D, 3-D, photography and a
People’s Choice award.
The event is coordinated by the Florence
Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA).
Thompson said that throughout the two days,
a tapas-style menu will be available from a vari-
ety of providers.
“Florence bills itself as ‘Oregon’s Coastal
Playground,’ and this event at this venue is a
great part of all the fun Florence has to offer. We
want to fill the town with people who are into
fine art, fine wine and international caliber
jazz,” he added.
Pre-event tickets are $20 for Friday, $25 for
Saturday, and a two-day pass is $40.
Tickets are available exclusively at
FlorenceChamber. com/FlorenceFest or at the
Florence Area Chamber of Commerce’s

B OOK R EVIEW
“As Bright As Heaven”
By Susan Meissner
In 1918, Philadelphia is a city
teeming with promise. Even as its
young men go off to fight in the
Great War, there are opportunities
for a fresh start on its cobblestone
streets.
Into this bustling town come
Pauline Bright and her husband,
filled with the hope that they
could now give their three daugh-
ters — Evelyn, Maggie and Willa
— a chance at a better life.
Their dreams are short-lived.
Just months after they arrive,
the Spanish flu reaches the shores
of North America. As the pan-
demic claims more than 12,000
victims in their adopted city,
Pauline and her family find them-
selves in a world that looks noth-
ing like the one they knew.
But even as they lose loved
ones, they take in a baby,
orphaned by the disease, who
becomes their single source of
hope. Amidst the tragedy and
challenges that surround them
they learn what they cannot live
without — and what they are
willing to do about it.
“As Bright as Heaven,” by
Susan Meissner, is the com-
pelling story of a mother and her
daughters who find themselves in
a harsh world not of their making
that will either crush their resolve
to survive or purify it.
Meissner is the award-winning
author of “A Bridge Across the
Ocean,” “Secrets of a Charmed
Life,” “A Fall of Marigolds” and
“Stars Over Sunset Boulevard,”
among other novels.

“WASTED!” exposes the
criminality of food waste and
how it’s directly contributing
to climate change and shows us
how each of us can make small
changes — all of them deli-
cious — to solve one of the
greatest problems of the 21st
Century.
Admission for the film will
be free with a donation of a
canned or dry food item for
Florence Food Share, whose
mission is to alleviate hunger
in Western Lane County.
Admission tickets are
required, limit two per per-

March 26 at Siuslaw News,
148 Maple St., and City

“WASTED!” is shown as
part of Siuslaw News and
Coast Radio’s Green Film
series, targeting important top-
ics through innovative films
and community discussion.
January’s showing of “A
Plastic Ocean” was a sold-out
event and allowed people to
engage with the global issue of
plastic pollution locally.

Borrowing Material from
Other Libraries
Do you ever need a book or
other material which we don’t
have here at the Siuslaw Public
Library? You can always ask if
we can order it on “interlibrary
loan.”
Interlibrary loan is a system
where we search for the material
at other libraries and request to
borrow it for you. Books are usu-
ally the easiest to borrow.
Many libraries have restric-
tions on lending audiovisual
materials such as DVDs, videos
and recorded books, as well as
special collections such as
genealogy or local history, but
it’s always worth a try to see if
we can borrow it.
The next time you need some-
thing just stop by the reference
desk and we will see if we can
help you out.
