THE KRAB KETTLE 280 Hwy. 101 (2 Blocks N. of Bridge) Florence MONDAY-SUNDAY 10-6 • 541-997-8996 Teachers, faculty to participate in ‘Red for Education’ On Wednesday, May 8, teachers and staff of the Siu- slaw School District will line Oak Street in the morning, greeting students, parents and visitors to campus. In addition to the “Oak Street Morning Greeting,” some teachers will walk to either Nosh or Abby’s Pizza, after school hours, to partici- pate in a grade-in. As part of a state-wide campaign to bring awareness and support for funding re- form in the state of Oregon, educators in the Siuslaw School District have chosen these actions to highlight such deeds. All Siuslaw schools will re- main in full operation today — All classes, games, events and activities will occur as scheduled. As reported in the news or on social media, other school districts around Ore- gon are closing their doors or modifying operations due to teacher walk-outs. Knowing the value of the schools to the Florence com- munity, the members of the Siuslaw Education Associa- tion have elected to partici- pate in the greeting with ed- ucators dressed in symbolic red shirts rather than joining protests at the state capitol. After school from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., teachers will be gathering at local establish- ments to grade papers, write lesson plans or perform oth- er planning work. If the public has questions, they are free to come up to the educators and ask how they can help in supporting students. The members of the Siu- slaw Education Association would like to thank the com- munity for their support of the schools over the years. Annual Rhody flower show offers tips, information for entries Local rhododendrons and azaleas are in prime shape for this year’s 47th annual Rhododendron Show. The community is encouraged to participate by bringing in as many trusses as they wish. There are a few basic re- quirements to help win a rib- bon or even a trophy. First, pick the most upright truss with the most florets open. Also, look for the best foli- age to compliment the flow- ers. Lastly, enter only one of each variety and entrants must have owned the plant for at least six months. All the rhodies have a cer- tain classification in which they should be shown. There will be many knowledgeable people on hand to put flower trusses in the right category. Those interested in enter- ing this year’s flower show should bring their entries to the Florence Events Center between 7 and 9 a.m. on Sat- urday, May 18. Judging commences at 9 a.m. and will take approxi- mately three hours, at which time doors are open to the public until 5 p.m. On Sunday, the show is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Plants can be purchased both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, vis- it Siuslawars.org or call Day Farrald, 541-590-3161 Local Eats Your guide to great locally owned restaurants.
