Performing Arts prices apply ($19 Adults/$15 Mem- bers/$10 Students and Chil- dren under 12). Local Joni Mitchell super- fan Becky Goehring, who requested this event come to Florence, said, “I encourage all Joni Mitchell fans to come and bring someone who hasn't fully experienced her to this screening." Captured live at the Dor- othy Chandler Pavilion, this special event features Brandi Carlile; Glen Hansard; Em- mylou Harris; Norah Jones; Chaka Khan; Diana Krall; Kris Kristofferson; Los Lo- bos with La Marisoul, Cesar Castro and Xochi Flores; Graham Nash; James Taylor; Seal; and Rufus Wainwright, who will perform many of Mitchell’s songs. A music icon whose work continues to inspire gen- erations of artists, Mitchell performed on the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion stage in 1972 and 1974, with the Los Angeles Times describing her 1972 concert as "Joni Mitchell in a Giant Living Room." Goehring stated what many have felt over Joni’s long performing life: “Joni Mitchell was an evocative female voice in my youth, bending my musical ear away from ‘The Monkees’ and other light pop-child tunesmiths. She inspired an instant connection at a time when my world view was ex- panding and helped me rec- ognize, through many of her lyrics, that I had a part to play in my worlds, both personal and communal. “The ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ changed my perception of the rapid development in my community, she put words to those first emerging feelings of love in ‘A Case Of You,’ and helped me see ‘Both Sides Now’ in so many places in my life. “These and many other songs will be interpreted on stage in this thrilling concert event.” With nine Grammy awards to her name and 16 Gram- my nominations, Mitchell’s catalog of music spans more than five decades. In 2017, Mitchell’s 1971 album “Blue” was named number one on National Public Radio’s list of the 150 greatest albums made by women. Her work has no boundar- ies and crosses genres from folk and pop, to jazz and world music. Mitchell is also a prolific painter and was once quoted as saying, “I’m a painter first, and a musician second.” While Mitchell hails from Canada, she has called Los Angeles home for decades. &DOOXVWRWRGD\WRVFKHGXOHDQDSSRLQWPHQW Community Coalition to hear about NEDCO, asset bulding today &KHFN6DWXUGD\¶VSDSHUIRUDFRXSRQJRRGRQ\RXUQH[WVHUYLFH /RZHVW3ULFHV*XDUDQWHHG²:HZLOOPDWFKDQ\FRPSHWLWRUVSULFH The Florence Area Com- munity Coalition will have Luis Mendoza as its speaker at the monthly meeting to- • Heart Healthy Expert Joe Piscatella • LCC Dean Russ Pierson and Continuing Education Director Beth Habian • Murder at the Tony Lou Awards with Judy Kaplan and Victoria Seitzinger • Driver's Education with Lane Education Service District's Sherry Bandy and Driver Education teacher Rob Griffes day, Feb. 6, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the Bromley Room of the Siuslaw Public Library, 1460 Ninth St. in Florence. Mendoza is the supervi- sor of the Lane County Asset Building team of NEDCO. He will provide information about the NEDCO-City of Florence partnership to de- velop a cottage cluster of homes using the community land trust model at the old Senior Center site on Airport Road. The project will cluster small homes around a com- mon space shared by the en- tire development. The current plan propos- es 12 homes, a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, which will be for sale to households with incomes below 80 percent area medi- an income. The development will use the land trust model to en- sure long-term affordability for buyers with low in-comes. Land trusts are a unique form of home ownership, which have been successful- ly used around the nation, where the land itself is legally separated from the structures and held in trust by a non- profit (NEDCO). For more information, see www.ci.florence.or.us/ economicdevelopment/air- port-road-affordable-hous- ing-project. When Mendoza isn’t help- ing lead the team of counsel- ors who support clients on their path to financial stabil- ity and homeownership, he enjoys spending time with his wife, four kids and a giant lazy Great Dane.
