R
ichard Ritchey, the Oregon Reptile
Man, delighted a room full of young-
sters and adults Thursday in the Bromley
room at the Siuslaw Public Library. The
presentation was the third installment
in the library’s “Let’s Rock!” Summer
Reading Program. The Bromley room was
filled to capacity with an attentive audi-
ence. Ritchey brought 17 members of his
scaly troop for the performance. Snakes,
lizar ds and tortoises of differing species
and sizes were shown to the crowd. The
Reptile encouraged volunteers to assist
with the presentation, encouraging them
to handle and interact with the animals
while classmates and family looked on.
Western Lane Communi-
ty Foundation will award its
annual $3,000 Arlis Ulman
Health Careers Scholarship to
a Lane Community College
(LCC) Florence Center stu-
dent this summer.
This scholarship was estab-
lished in 2012 by WLCF to
assist local students attend-
ing LCC in the field of health
care and was named in honor
of Arlis Ulman, a longtime
volunteer with the foundation
who served on its board of di-
rectors for nine years. Ulman
has been actively involved with
its scholarship program since
1997.
The Ulman Scholarship is
designed to assist students
enrolled at LCC in its nursing
or pre-nursing curriculum.
Students must have a perma-
nent residence in the Florence/
Mapleton school district and
major in the nursing program.
This includes students com-
pleting prerequisites prior to
admission to the nursing pro-
gram, and who have demon-
strated a commitment to aca-
demic achievement and have
financial need.
Applications may be ob-
tained at the LCC Florence
Center, 3149 Oak St., or online
at www.wlcfonline.org.
Application packets may be
submitted online, or by mail
at PO Box 1589, Florence, OR
97439.
Western Lane Community
Foundation is celebrating its
44-year anniversary this year.

cerning the scholarship pro-
gram, how to volunteer or how
to endow funds, contact West-
ern Lane Community Founda-
tion Executive Director Gayle
Waiss at 541-997-1274.
Spirituali-Tea takes a look
at Day of the Seafarer
On Monday, June 25, at 6:30
p.m., all are invited to join a
group of people who enjoy
finding the common grounds
in diverse spiritual thoughts
and paths. The meeting is at
875 Seventh St. in Florence.
The topic is “Day of the Sea-
farer,” which is an annual and
international event coordinat-
ed by the International Mari-
time Organization.
Abdu’l-Baha says, “Verily,
divine bestowals are like the
sea, and we are the fishes of
that sea. The fishes must not
look at themselves; they must
behold the ocean, which is vast
and wonderful. Provision for
the sustenance of all is in this
ocean; therefore, the divine
bounties encompass all, and
love eternal shines upon all.”
Bring your thoughts on the
subject for open discussion.
Tea, coffee and cookies will
be offered.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the re-
quests left in the Prayer Pole
in the garden of the Florence
Playhouse and those shared by
the group.
For more information, call
Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541-
590-0616.
