Please be aware that similarly looking poisonous mushrooms exist in the same area as mat- sutakes. Do not disturb topsoil when searching for matsutakes by digging or raking. Upon harvesting a matsutake, return soil or debris attached to the stem back into the cavity creat- ed by the removed mushroom and cover the hole.

The Pulitzer prize winning play “Proof ” will open at Class Act Theatre (CAT) on Friday, Aug. 17, and run for two week- ends. This play was originally scheduled to run in 2017, but in keeping with CAT’s commit- ment to quality, was delayed until the right actors could be recruited for each role. Director James Welling- ton welcomes the cast of Cara Beere, David Lauria, Alex Grady and Polly Fleming to the stage. The play explores Catherine’s fear of following in her father’s footsteps, both mathematically and mentally, and her desper- schools are too antiquated to bring up to modern seismic and building codes. • The plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems are at the end of their life. • The high school has no kitchen or cafeteria. • Simple remodeling cannot overcome all of the safety con- cerns of the original floorplan. • Buildings do not fit current models of effective, 21st-cen- tury instruction. Erickson believes that the passage of the bond will al- low the district to make the changes necessary to provide students with a safe and secure environment that meets the teaching and learning methods of the modern age. Next year, the district is looking to expand programs for business, technology and construction education. This is a nationwide trend that is re- flected in the increased atten- tion being afforded to career 6th Annual Florence Please call the Siuslaw News at 541-902-3526 to sign up.

Both Erickson and Grzesko- wiak realize the amount of money being requested is large, but they point out that much of the expense is for overdue maintenance and continually rising construction costs. Bond Advisory Committee wants the community to know the new campus will also pro- vide spaces that can be used by the public in case of a natural disaster. “These projects are more than just about the school buildings themselves. They are also about part of the greater Florence community,” Grz- eskowiak said. “The goal of the district is education, but there will be secondary benefits as well. The new high school will now be up to seismic code and can serve as a community shel- ter in the time of an emergen- cy.” There will also be tangen- tial benefits that Grzeskowiak hopes residents will include in their deliberations when they consider the district’s bond re- quest. “The construction will be a short-term boon to our local economy. Not only will there be opportunities for local peo- ple and companies to be part of the projects, specialty firms from outside of Florence will be staying here in town, eat- ing in restaurants and putting money back into local busi- nesses,” he said. The bond advisory com- mittee has already scheduled a number of public presenta- tions on the upcoming bond measure and invites interest- ed groups to contact them to schedule a presentation. “We ask everyone to be as informed as possible about the current bond as well as current graduation rates and the schools’ current condi- tions,” Erickson said. “We do realize that this bond is a large amount; however, this is some- thing that we feel is very im- portant to our community.” Community members are asked to complete an anon- ymous survey, www.sur- veymonkey.com/r/bap2, to provide feedback to the com- mittee. For more information on the upcoming bond measure, call the Siuslaw School District at 541-997-2651 or attend a weekly Bond Advisory Com- mittee meeting.
