Owyhee River Journals author to speak at library
Bonnie Olin began exploring
the Owyhee River area in the
early 1990s with her soon-to-be
husband Mike Quigley. The
couple’s initial exploration led
to many more trips down the
undeveloped, pristine, Owyhee
River and through its striking
canyons.
These journeys are the sub-
ject of “The Owyhee River
Journals,” and the book
includes photos of rarely seen
landscapes taken by Quigley
during the adventuresome
duo’s many journeys together.
Olin will discuss their floats
down the river, hikes through
the canyons and what impact
these adventures had on her life
on Tuesday, March 3, at 1 p.m.,
at the main branch of the
Siuslaw Public Library.
The presentation of “The
Owyhee River Journals” will
appeal to outdoor adventurers,
armchair adventurers, and any-
one interested in learning about
this relatively untouched area.
The author, who grew up in
Springfield, was introduced to
the outdoors by her parents. As
a teen she sometimes helped
her timber cruiser/road survey-
or father out in the woods.
After taking up accounting
as a profession, spending more
time in an office than the out-
doors she loved, Olin took a
number of kayak trips with
Quigley.
She says of an eight-day trip
on the Salmon River in 1991
and the man who would
become her husband, “That trip
was life changing for me and
influenced my decision to find
a job that allowed me a healthy
work-life balance. We’ve been
a two person team on the rivers
ever since.”
The Owyhee River Journals
reflects this team: she has doc-
umented the adventures down
the river which begins its jour-
ney in northern Nevada and
flows north through Idaho and
Oregon until it meets the Snake
Rive in heartfelt and detailed
words; he has captured the area
in 125 extraordinary photo-
graphs.
This presentation by Olin is
free and open to the general
public. Join fellow adventurers
in this vicarious journey
through the spectacular and
peaceful Owyhee River basin
area.
Copies of the book with its
detailed description and images
of the beauty and solitude
experienced by Olin and
Quigley will be available after
the program.

the program, visit the Siuslaw
Public Library, call 541-997-

Chamber Orchestra announces Winter 2015 concert series
The Oregon Coast Chamber
Orchestra is proud to present its
Winter 2015 concert series
“For the Fallen: The Lost
Composers of World War I,” a
program featuring the works of
composers and lyricists who
were all casualties of that war.
The summer of 2014 marked
the 100th anniversary of the
beginning of World War I — a
19th century war fought with
20th century weapons. The war
caused the loss of an entire
generation.
A stanza from a poem by
Robert Laurence Binyon
(1869-1943), published in The
Times of London on Sep. 21,
1914 is a fitting tribute: “They
shall grow not old, as we that
are left grow old: Age shall not
weary them, nor the years con-
demn. At the going down of the
sun and in the morning We will
remember them.”
This unique concert will fea-
ture many works not heard
since the death of these com-
posers. We extend our thanks to
librarians, arrangers and web-
masters from around the world
— their assistance has made
this concert possible.
The following composers
and lyricist will be featured:
Alberic Magnard, civilian,
France, killed 1914; William
Denis Browne, sub Lieutenant,
England, killed in Action 1915;
Enrique Granados, civilian,
Spain, killed 1916; George
Wilkinson, sergeant, England,
killed in Action 1916; Francis
Warren, second lieutenant,
England, killed in Action 1916;
George Butterworth, second
lieutenant, England, killed in
Action 1916; Frederick Kelly,

What is one of the best movies of all time?
“‘A Trip to the Moon’ by
George Melies. It was made in
1902 and was completely ahead of
its time, using trick photography
100 years before today’s digital
special effects. It’s a truly amazing
piece of cinema history.”
—A LICIA W HEELER , 47
F LORENCE
“The best movie I ever saw is
‘Red Beard’ (1965). It was a
Japanese movie by director
Akira Kurosawa. It is about a
doctor in rural Japan.”
—J ARMILA W ILLIAMS , 60
F LORENCE
“Good question. This year I
really liked ‘A Boy’s Life.’ I
have seen ‘Empire Strikes Back’
a lot of times. ‘Lost in
Translation’ (2003) has to be one
of my favorite movies ever. I’ve
watched that a lot.”
—G ARY S ARLES , 38
F LORENCE
“‘Doctor Zhivago’ (1965) —
the history, the drama, the cine-
matography. Just the historical
aspect of that has always been
my very favorite. I could watch
it over and over.”
—J ANE R INCON , 75
