To the editor:
I would like to thank the people of Siletz for the generous contributions toward
my study abroad trip to Italy. The outpouring of support from the community really
touched my heart. It was a fabulous experience and I could not have done it without
your help.
Thank you so much!

Chinook winds welcomes young
country duo Thompson Square
Cure winter blues with the laughter
of Comedy on the Coast
Chinook Winds Casino Resort contin-
ues the fun in 2014 with its Comedy on
the Coast series that features Bob Zany,
Zan Aufderheide and Chris Strait on
Feb. 28-March 1.
Bob Zany’s come along way “Bay-
Bee” since a 15-year-old California kid
named Robert Earl Tetreault made his way
to the stage of The Gong Show in 1976.
In film, he’s appeared in Joe Dirt and
The Informant. He stars in the documen-
tary Close But No Cigar, chronicling his
more than 30 years on the stage, tube
and screen. He’s the feature in I Am
Comic, a movie about the perks and perils
of stand-up.
With his trademark cigar, you can
hear him now on syndicated radio’s The
Bob and Tom Show and the Sideshow
Network podcast, The Bob Zany Show
with Zan Aufderheide.
Zany’s hilarious podcast partner is
Zan Aufderheide. Her material is clean
and autobiographical with funny tales
about all the crazy things that happen
in life. She lives by the credo “Unity
through laughter.”
“When we laugh, we can find our
common ground,” says Aufderheide.
While she was a traveling comic on
dusty Midwest roads, Aufderheide entered
and won a radio contest. The prize – be
the opening act for Chonda Pierce, “The
Queen of Clean” comedy, at the Grand Ole
Opry. Her one night stand-up in Nashville
turned into an 18-month national gig.
Besides the podcast with Zany,
Aufderheide currently tours theaters,
churches, corporate events, colleges and
arenas all over the U.S.
Multi-talented Californian Chris
Strait hit the stage in 2000 while earning
his master’s degree in psychology. After
being advised that his style was “too
aggressive,” he made comedy his career.
He calls himself “a European mutt”
who has appeared in comedy clubs in “45
of the 50 states, four of the six inhabited
continents and almost 20 countries” in
“pretty much all the categories of places
one can do stand-up.”
Strait was a regular on TRU-TV’s
World’s Dumbest series and has done
E! and Fuel TV commentary. He’s per-
formed stand-up on Playboy and Direct
TV and been the voice talent for video
games and movie trailers. Since 2000,
he’s been a freelance boxing writer, blog-
ger and vlogger.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with a no-
host bar for this age-21-and-older event.
Tickets are $15.
Chinook Winds Casino Resort presents Thompson Square, the husband and wife
country duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson, in concert on Feb. 7-8.
With nothing to hide, they showcase their 13-year marriage in every song performed
on their tour. Thompson Square’s album, Just Feels Good, is especially revealing of
their personal and professional relationship.
2011’s Kiss was the year’s most-played country radio song and was nominated for
two Grammy Awards. Thompson Square snatched the CMA, ACM, CMT and ACA
2012 Vocal Duo Awards with its double platinum-selling singles Are You Gonna Kiss
Me or Not, I Got You and Glass.
They are currently the sole established married couple to receive the CMA Vocal
Duo of the Year award. Their success soared when they again won the 2013 ACM
Vocal Duo of the Year award.
Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets range from $25 to $40.
