6A | SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS Coldwell Banker Coast Real Estate Brokers Honored Restaurants operating as of April 2020 Florence-area restaurants offering take-out, drive-thrus or delivery: John Barnett Alva Bracey Rick Cox Wanda Johnson Randy Paredes Dennis Pease Alice Sichting-Burns and faces receiving recogni- tion this year, which is awe- some,” said Johnson. “In a small town such as Florence, to have a bounty of our bro- kers receive such coveted recognition in the Coldwell Banker system is truly an ex- traordinary achievement. It is a result of their tireless work ethic, attention to detail, and an innate ability to connect with people and serve their needs. “An amazing accomplish- ment, in my opinion.” Coldwell Banker Coast Real Estate, one of Florence’s longest established local businesses is located at 100 Highway 101. The firm is in its 64th year in business in the Florence area and has been an affiliate of Coldwell Banker, the nation’s premier real estate network, since 1999. With 3,100 offices world- wide and approximately 92,000 sales associates glob- ally, Coldwell Banker Cor- poration is the world leader in luxury home sales and has consistently been an industry leader since its inception in 1906 in San Francisco, Cali- fornia. Locally, Coldwell Bank- er Coast Real Estate offers a global referral and marketing and online network among worldwide affiliates, and a dominant local presence in the real estate market. This past year in 2019, the firm was involved in 48 percent of all dollar volume sold in the Florence area. For more information, call 541-997-7777 or visit www. cbcoast.com. E ight local real estate bro- kers at Coldwell Banker Coast Real Estate were re- cently honored for their 2019 production within the Cold- well Banker global network. Of the approximately 92,000 Coldwell Banker Associates worldwide, local brokers Rick Cox, Wanda Johnson, Dennis Pease, Randy Pare- des, Alice Sichting-Burns, Alva Bracey and John Barnett all received production rec- ognition placing them in the upper echelon of the brokers in the entire Coldwell Banker system. Also, in 2019, Andy John- son, owner and principal broker of the local firm, once again received the Office Manager’s Award for Excel- lence, a distinction presented to only 207 of the 3,100 Cold- well Banker offices world- wide. In addition, the local firm garnered top distinction among the region as a “Pre- mier Office” recognized as a top producing company for its size across the U.S. “We have some new names Use of cloth face coverings to help slow spread of COVID-19 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where oth- er social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharma- cies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the vi- rus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face cover- ings fashioned from house- hold items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure. Cloth face coverings should: • fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face EGGS from page 1A “Mark said to me, ‘Since we’re delivering these meals to the students and fami- lies, would you want to have us put them in the lunches?’ And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, such a great idea,’” Gates said. She took the idea to Rota- ry’s board of directors and the president of the Interact Club, “And they said, ‘Yes, let’s do it!’” This week, Hill’s team distributed Easter eggs on Wednesday and Friday. “It’s such a great thing, • be secured with ties or ear loops • include multiple layers of fabric • allow for breathing with- out restriction • be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance. The cloth face coverings recommended are not sur- gical masks or N-95 respi- rators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recom- mended by current CDC guidance. Cloth face coverings should be washed or cleaned regularly, depending on the frequency of use. A washing machine should suffice in properly washing a face covering. Individuals should be careful not to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth when removing their face covering and wash hands immediately after removing. If you are interested in mak- ing your own face covering, the CDC has provided step by step instructions at www.cdc. gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/ prevent-getting-sick/diy- cloth-face-coverings.html. and a great idea,” Gates said. While she doesn’t know the exact amount of kids who will benefit — “We have 4,000. That’s a lot of eggs,” she said. As Rotary prepares for the Community Easter Egg Hunt every year, Interact and Ju- nior Interact members work with Rotary members to fill the eggs. This year, additional community members stepped in to fill each plastic egg. Siuslaw High School In- teract meets every two weeks and has 30 club members. The Siuslaw Middle School Junior Interact meets once a month and has 20 mem- bers. The club advisers in- clude Gates, Janet Huston, Bob Orr, Stephanie Restrepo, Steve Moser and Bob Teter. “I miss the Interact kids, and I hope they’re doing well,” Gates said. “We were gearing up for the Rotary Auction and this, and every- thing just stopped. But I’m excited that these are going out to the children and fam- ilies.” There is another benefit to Rotary for doing things this way. The club has been reus- ing its 4,000 plastic eggs for years, only buying a small amount each year to replace damaged ones. Rotary will not be needing the eggs back this year and will purchase fresh plastic eggs for next year. To the community, Gates said, “Happy Easter! We’re thinking of you. Our Easter Egg Hunt is the highlight of Rotary’s spring, so we miss you. I hope everyone is safe and healthy and we’ll come back for an even bigger and brighter event next year.” For more information about Rotary’s programs, visit www.theflorencerotary.org. Community invited to Sneddon 85th birthday ‘drive by’ today Plans for celebrating long- time and well-known Flor- ence resident Blair Sned- don’s 85th birthday were put on hold last month due to Covid-19 social distancing requirements. But that didn’t stop the family from coming up with an alternative. Tom, the eldest son, sug- gested something that he had seen in other commu- nities; organize as many friends and family members as possible to drive by their dad’s home on 40th Street on Saturday, April 11, to wave and offer birthday greetings. Today, from 1 to 2 p.m., people are invited to drive by Sneddon’s home at 2055 40th St. Friends from around the area have been notified, in- cluding members of Reed- sport Christian Church where Blair and his late wife, Gerelean, attended for more than 30 years. The family moved to Flor- ence in 1955. Over the years, Blair was actively involved in many local causes and com- munity activities in Florence and Reedsport. “We welcome everyone who may have met Dad through any of those con- nections to drive by,” said Tom.
