FREE DENTAL CLINIC OCT. 26 A free dental clinic for extractions only is coming up Sat- urday, Oct. 26, for people who are uninsured, low income, have a tooth that needs to be removed, and have not had recent dental care. Patients need to have a phone number where they can be reached to confi rm appointments. The event is being organized by the Occupy Eugene Medi- cal Clinic in cooperation with St. Vincent de Paul. Dentists can work on only one quadrant at a time so only one upper or lower jaw, left or right side, can be treated at this clinic. A limit of 20 people can be treated. The clinic will be held at the St. Vincent de Paul’s Service Station on Highway 99. The two check-in times are 8:30 and 10 am. Contact Adrienne at aes4@comcast.net or call 513- 1739 to get on the list. YVONNE YOUNG BY PAUL NEEVEL “My mother always read to me,” says storyteller Yvonne Young, a native of Grand Junction, Colo. “My dad, his dad and my uncle all told stories.” Young studied elementary education at CU in Boulder, married a seminary student, moved to California, and taught for eight years at Hamilton Air Base. They moved north for his one-year post as campus pastor in Corvallis, where she gave birth to a daughter, Heather. Two years later, he left the family, and she went back to work. “I got a job at Willagillespie School in ’74, the year that kindergarten started in Eugene,” says Young, who began telling stories during 13 years at the school. “We had a storyteller for a week, and I heard kids listen like I’d never heard them listen.” She took a year off for an interdisciplinary masters degree in storytelling, then returned to teaching, this time at Willakenzie School, for 10 more years, until 1997. She worked as artist-in- residence for the Lane Arts Council, and helped out with Bob Rubinstein’s Multicultural Storytelling Festival throughout its 20-year history. “On Tuesday, I told stories at Meadowview School,” she says. “Last Saturday, I told Turkish stories at the Haley Ford Museum in Salem.” In November, Young will travel to Plum Village, the Buddhist retreat in France, founded by Thich Nhat Hanh, for a residency of up to six months, teaching ESL and storytelling to Vietnamese nuns. HAPPENING PEOPLE it was going to be done, Rebhahn knew the cross-country ride needed an infl uential backbone. “Let’s have a mission,” Rebhahn says. “Let’s have a pur- pose. Let’s not just go. Let’s use it as a way to connect com- munities and learn a lot more than just by biking 60 miles a day or whatever.” Rebhahn and Cooper’s inspiration for this monumental and potentially infl uential undertaking comes from their time on a farm in the local Santa Clara area called Meadowlands, where they worked for food. They will be blogging this two-person, cross-country trip to keep those interested in following their travels up-to-date as they look to show the rest of the U.S. what makes much of Oregon tick.
