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.
