Title Wave author event set in Bandon Linda Tamura, author of the Hood River Issei: An Oral History of Japanese Settlers in Oregon’s Hood River Valley, gives free talks in Coquille and Bandon. Her program in Coquille takes place on Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m., in the Coquille City Council Chambers (at the new city hall). She’ll present her program at the Bandon Public Library on Friday, April 24, at 7 p.m. Tamura’s program is about the these settlers in Hood River, and their experiences after Pearl Harbor and World War II, focus- ing on the young American citi- zens of Japanese heritage who served in the U.S. Army. While they fought battles overseas, their families were incarcerated in U.S. internment camps. Although they served the United States with great bravery and dedication, their communities discouraged them from return- ing home after the war, all because they were Japanese Americans. Tamura’s book features inter- views with the first generation Japanese, the Issei. Her book’s compelling look at the hard- ships, and triumphs, of the Issei, is based on interviews she did with the Issei of the Hood River Photo by Nancy Anglescou On Sunday, April 5, the North Curry Libraries cele- brated Oregon Reads with a sushi-making class taught by Sandie MacDonald of Langlois.

Hear scholar Carole Glauber explain and discuss the contri- butions of Oregon’s early women photographers. In this slide-illustrated pro- gram, Carole Glauber traces the distinctive work of four early women photographers: Maud Baldwin of Klamath Falls, Fanny Van Duyn of Tygh Valley, and Sarah Ladd and Lily White, both of Portland. Their work documenting the Columbia River Gorge, Native Americans, and the early devel- opment of the Klamath Basin provides a window into our state’s history that reflects com- munity, culture, and gender. This program is provided by the Oregon Council for the Humanities.

BRIEFS, from page 4 Team Jubilee is dusting off the sound truck, painting signs and getting ready to pass out the parade and event forms. On a quiet evening as you walk down Oregon Street just down past Ray’s Market, tilt your ear toward the north end of town. Do you hear the faint sound of a fire truck blowing its horn? If you look carefully you can almost see folks opening fold up chairs and vying for the best spot along the parade route. No doubt about it, we’ve had quite a bit of drama this past year. Once again folks are divided on issues and direction. It can all be quite disconcerting. Team Jubilee would like to sug- gest the perfect all around “pick me up” and “smile maker.” Help us put on a wing ding of a parade! There’s no fee just fill out the parade form and decorate your car, truck, bike or each other! A parade does wonders for your soul. Let’s celebrate our good for- tune, our great country and our lovely community. To help you “Feel the love” we have a theme we hope will appeal to everyone. 2nd annual Pacific High School Scramble A four person team scramble.
