8A | WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS CANDIDATE from page 1A spent 20 years taking on big pollut- ers, Wall Street Banks and big cor- porations, waging uphill battles and winning. I know how to build strong connections with the people I serve, assemble coalitions, use the leverage of public pressure …” Canning added that foreign fossil fuel company projects like the Jordan Cove Pipeline endanger local com- munities and habitat while “… tim- ber companies replace workers with machines and make profit for their Wall Street backers while leaving our landscapes scarred, sucking our water dry, and leaving us with added wildfire risk.” Canning’s progressive, environ- mentally oriented platform, while similar in some respects to DeFazio’s, pushes towards a more comprehen- sive approach to alternate energy power generation and a more strin- gent policy towards the use of public lands. “Congress has the power to shut down the Jordan Cove Project, to fund our schools and make educa- tion for our young people debt-free, to invest in a climate plan where out- of-work loggers can get guaranteed, good paying jobs in regenerative forestry,” Canning said. “Our coast can become a hub for developing off- shore wind energy and put people to work in manufacturing. “Congress has the power to invest in the solutions we need now; what However, Canning wants to see more done to support lower income earn- ers and families that are currently unemployed. “Governor Brown was very wise to follow the lead of Governor Inslee of Washington and take early action to stop the spread of COVID-19. As a result of the sacrifices and solidarity of Oregonians staying home, many lives have been saved,” said Can- ning. “However, livelihoods have already been destroyed … We’ve just watched as Congress has given multi-trillion-dollar bailouts using our tax dollars to millionaires and big corporations, while small businesses and working families get red-tape and crumbs.” Canning said she is hoping to ap- Weekly Library Tidings Bring bot- tles, cans to Help Florence Habitat Florence Habitat for Hu- manity is hosting a bottle and can drive this Friday, May 8, and Saturday May 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

That is why I am running for Congress.” Canning said she has also seen the destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly on the coast, where the local economy relies on restaurants, hotels and the natural at- tractions that bring visitors. “If these must be shut down to preserve the public health, then the government must provide people with the means to survive until the storm has passed. Otherwise, we are left with the terrible choice to risk infection or risk bankruptcy,” said Canning. Canning supports Gov. Kate Brown’s “Stay Home, Stay Alive” ex- ecutive order, which restricts social gatherings and business operations. Review: “The Accomplice” By Joseph Kanon Seventeen years after the fall of the Third Reich, Max Weill has never forgotten the atroci- ties he witnessed as a prisoner at Auschwitz — nor Dr. Otto Schramm, a camp doctor who worked with Mengele on ap- palling experiments and who sent Max’s family to the gas chambers. As the war came to a close, Schramm was one of the many high-ranking former Nazi officers who managed to es- cape Germany for new lives in South America, where leaders such as Argentina’s Juan Perón gave them safe harbor and new identities. As Max nears the end of his life, he asks his nephew, Aaron — an Amer- ican CIA desk agent — to complete the task Max never could: to track down Schramm in Argentina, capture him, and bring him back to Germany to stand trial. Aaron reluctantly travels to Buenos Aires and discovers a city where Nazis thrive in plain sight, mingling with Argentine high society. Enlisting the help of an am- bitious German newspaper reporter, a hard-bitten Israeli agent and the obliging CIA sta- tion chief in Buenos Aires, he begins the hunt. But the closer he gets, the more dangerous the chase becomes. Atmospheric and immer- sive, “The Accomplice” is the story of a man whose life is taken over by the long shadow of a World War II crime, of a love affair that never should have happened, and of a city as deceptive as it is complicit. Literary Podcast of the Week You can find a great dis- cussion of writing, books and literature of all genres at Book Fight, a weekly podcast available through your favor- ite podcast app. Mike Ingram teaches writing at Temple Uni- versity and Tom McAllister is editor at Barrelhouse. Both are published authors. The podcast consists of writers talking about books; peal to the more progressive of De- Fazio’s supporters. She has tailored her message to highlight her exten- sive grassroots organizing experienc- es and what many would characterize as her “green” agenda. “I am the first viable challenger in 33 years, and the first woman ever to run in the Democratic primary for Congress here in our district,” Canning said. “We can’t go back to business as usual, that is why I’m running.” In addition to the two Democrat Party candidates, Nelson Ijih and Alek Skarlatos are running for the Republican Party candidacy.
