Port Orford News April 21, 2010, • Page 5 ART, from page 1 brothers were also taught by their mother to play the piano, Rebekah is the only one who has continued to make it a major focus of her life. Wagner doesn’t play any other instrument. Friends who do play other instruments say, “You have to practice to play an instrument.” She responds, “I know about practice.” She currently practices two to four hours a day and says of her earlier years, “I never had to be reminded to practice.” Rebekah Wagner has ten pupils rang- ing in age from seven years to older adults. She is the accompanist at Langlois Community Church every Sunday and at Pacific High School. She enters competitions and is current- ly working on completing the ten-level Syllabus of The Oregon Music Teachers Association. She expects to finish the process late in April and can then join OMTA as a certified instruc- tor. That important step will also allow her to enter Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts in the fall at a level beyond that of a beginning freshman. Wagner intends to earn a Bachelor of Music at Cornish and later a Master of Music, but she is not sure where she might study for the advanced degree. While she is studying at Cornish she expects to use the school’s connections to obtain pupils and to perform or accompany. She should be able to man- age all of that, as her life now is very busy. In addition to finishing the school year and preparing to graduate, Wagner teaches and accompanies. She is work- ing and applying for scholarships to finance her college education. If she has any spare time, Wagner likes to read. She reads the Bible regu- larly and enjoys classic literature. She hopes to marry and raise a family in the future. Perhaps she will be teaching another small person to carry on the musical tradition. “Art Off the Wall” is a feature of Port Orford News and Port Orford Arts Council, 541-332-0487, www.portor- fordart.org. LETTERS, from page 4 your dog unless it has a license. Go Multamonah County. Our veterinsarian clinics, all of them Brookings and Gold Beach and SC Humane do the County a big favor in selling our licenses. Without them we would really be up a creek.A big THANK YOU to them.. They do a lot of paper work and we appreciate them. Walt Edwards wrote a letter about the county's responsibility for the shelter and enforcement of dog control laws being the key to raising additional funds. Walt I agree with you. Do I want to write a citation for no dog license in the county/city at $271.00? No, buy a $25.00 tag and obey the law. (Hey, I could cite in the city, if you live in the city AND the county. Double the fun, dou- ble the fine) I keep saying I real- ly need to cite on the no license and maybe people will take the license law seriously. If you can- not afford to get to the vet to get the rabies shot I would encourage you to come to the Rabies/license clinic to be held at th South Coast Humane Society in Brookings May 1st from 8am to noon. Please call them at 541 412-0325 for more information about the event. Central County I am work- ing on a clinic to be held at the Shelter. Call me for details and to get on our list 541 247-2514. North County, you are my patient people who never fail to amaize me in you constant support. I will get a clinic in North County hopefully in June, if not sooner. People please don't think that the Sheriff does not support me, he and all the staff at the Department know how hard I work and my love of our best friends. They are just trying to make ends meet. Lets get togeth- er and ask neighbors to help out and buy a license. Show that we can make and have made a differ- ence in our homeless dogs lives. God Bless and Thank you for lis- tening. P.S. Next time you call to com- plain about your neighbors dog make sure yours is legal with a license! Catherine Powers Curry County Animal Shelter Greetings! We all know ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things to improve the community we live in…they are called “Volunteers”! This week, National Volunteer Week, is a week to celebrate and acknowl- edge the huge impact volunteers have on our lives and the lives of others, and it is our opportunity to say “Thank You”. Who are volunteers? Volunteers are those who inspire and encourage people to creative- ly serve others. They serve not as isolated individuals, but in uni- son…working together to meet the challenges facing our com- munities. Volunteers work hard to take action and share tirelessly ideas to solve every problems set before them. They Inspire…they serve…they solve! The volunteers in Curry County are truly imaginative in the ways they serve our commu- nities. If you look closely you will see volunteers woven into almost every organization and event throughout the county. Curry County volunteers are amazing! Curry County Home Health and Hospice is blessed with a wealth of individuals willing to devote their time and energy to help meet the needs of people requiring end of life care. Our volunteers work in homes with patients and their families, in our office, on our advisory boards and specialized committees, and for the Hospice Marketplace on the Rogue. In 2009, our 200 vol- unteers gave over 16,000 hours serving others. Their reward is having the inner knowledge and satisfaction knowing they've made a real difference in the life of a patient or family. Hospice Volunteers inspire … serve …s olve, and they are won- derful!!! Please join me in thanking the volunteers in our communities, their service and dedication is heartwarming.

Final weekend for ‘Faithful’ Last chance to see Faithful, by Chazz Palminteri, a whiplash roller-coaster comedy/thriller per- formed by FoxWell Productions and presented by Theatre 101. Final shows are Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, at 7:30. Audiences have been laughing uproariously one minute and catching their breath at startling plot twists the next. The actors, Michael Fox, Victoria Weller, and Erich Gothard, deftly duel, both in the battle of the sexes and literally to the death. This play is recom- mended for mature audiences.
