Pastor Randy Benscoter with a corporate structure and a love of animals. His first priority was to re-establish a solid rela- tionship between the shel- ter, its membership and the larger Florence area com- munity. “Animal rescue is my passion, and I find it in- credibly rewarding, but passion alone isn’t enough. We need also take a disci- plined and professional ap- proach to animal rescue,” Curran said. Curran said he is bring- ing a new focus on oper- ational excellence to the organization to add to the passion for animal welfare that has long been a hall- mark of OCHS. He switched careers in the mid-2000s from cor- porate Information tech- nology to dedicate his life to saving abandoned and unwanted animals and to finding their perfect forev- er homes. Since then, Cur- ran has helped run shelters and rescues in Hong Kong, California and Oregon; he has worked with over 5,000 dogs and cats, adopted out thousands of animals and trained hundreds of dogs — and their owners. Bringing his corporate and animal rescue experi- ences to OCHS, Curran is committed to working with the community to contin- ue to develop the amazing support that OCHS has re- ceived from Florence over the years. The public is welcome at Florence City Club meet- ings. For further informa- tion call Annie Schmidt at 541-997-1023. Power of words at FUUF Sunday Linda Addison will be speaking at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fel- lowship on Sunday, Sept. 29, from 10 to 11 a.m. Her service is titled “Power of Words.” Addison will speak on documented research on the connection of language — the words we use — and our own thoughts. The important factor for us as spiritual beings, Ad- dison believes, is that we have free will to choose the words we use. This means we can influence our thoughts to be positive or negative. The more we use pos- itive words the more our thoughts become positive. Addison believes switching to high energy words nourishes healthy thoughts, and those healthy thoughts show up in the words we use. It’s a two-way, symbiotic rela- tionship. The fellowship, locat- ed at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road, is wheelchair accessible. Services conclude with re- freshments and a dialogue circle.
