of grass-fed meats
Library
Tidings
Join Calvin on Saturday,
June 20, at 3 p.m., at Real
Food
Co-op
to
learn
more about the whys and
hows of local pasture raised
meats.
Calvin will talk about why
it is important to eat meats
that are pasture-raised on
smaller farms with no antibi-
otics and hormones. He will
discuss the nutritional differ-
ences of these meats com-
pared to those commonly
found in most grocery stores.
Learn more about farming
practices of big meat produc-
ers compared to those of
small local farms and how
they affect our health and our
environment.
Calvin will also show how
to prepare grass-fed meats for
different meals, including
News about
the Siuslaw
Public Library
organ meats such as heart and
liver.
It has been found that cook-
ing grass-fed meats for longer
periods of time at lower tem-
peratures makes them tender
and juicy.
Anyone interested in learn-
ing the advantages of pasture-
raised meats can come to the
Real Food Co-op to find out
more.
The co-op is located at
1379 B Rhododendron Drive
and is open to the public
Monday through Saturday, 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.
Call 541-997-3396 to find
out more information.
The Co-op supports local
meat producers who raise
their animals humanely and
without
antibiotics
and
growth hormones.

The White Magic
Five and Dime
By Steve Hockensmith and
Lisa Falco
Book review by Susie Voth
My first encounter with author
Steve Hockensmith was his
“Holmes on the Range” series,
two cowhand brothers of the Old
West solving mysteries in the
Sherlock Holmes style.
Many tongue in cheek
moments, a few belly laughs and
I became a Hockensmith fan.
That said, when I spied “The
White Magic Five and Dime,”
written by Hockensmith, on the
14-day shelf, I had to check it
out.
Alanis McLachlan trudges
through her days as a telemar-
keter. Life isn’t exciting but then
it isn’t dangerous either. Alanis
had her fill of danger in her pre-
vious life with her con-artist
mother 20 years ago.
Imagine her surprise when she
discovers that her estranged
mother has left her an inheritance
— The White Magic Five and
Dime.
That isn’t all Alanis’s mother
left her; she left her a mystery.
The mystery of who killed
Athena Passalis and why?
Well, to Alanis the why is easy
— her mother probably conned
someone out of something pre-
Two exciting programs
this week
Tomorrow, June 18, don’t for-
get Bob DuBose will be speaking
at the library about his experi-
ences in the U.S. Foreign Service
at 1 p.m.
DuBose, who worked for the
Foreign Service from 1964 to
2000, served in Rwanda, Nigeria,
Sweden, Ireland, Jamaica and
Geneva, Switzerland, among
Bill Durst and Mary Lehman
will be talking about their
experiences with NATO and
United Nations at City Club of
Florence on Friday, June 19.
Lehman was involved in
lobbying for ending nuclear
weapons testing between 1986
and 1992.
She has worked as a political
activist and environmental
activist most of her life.

In Florence, her most recent
work has been with seniors in
need of care management and
advocacy.
Durst has worked with small
and major corporations dealing
with government agencies,
such as Hughes Aircraft
Company based in London for
a NATO air traffic control sys-
tem spanning nine countries.
From that position he
became the first non-engineer
for that Hughes Division to be
assigned as a project manager.
After retirement, he was on
the city council of Depoe
Bay and in Florence as a
member of the core groups
founding Backstreet Gallery
and KXCR Community Radio,
as well as a member of
the
steering
committee
for Continuing Learning
announced that over $4,500 in
scholarship funds will be
awarded to local youth to par-
ticipate in CROW’s 2015
Summer Youth Theatre camp
program.
These scholarships will
benefit approximately 20
local theater students who
would not otherwise be
able to afford to attend the
two-week programs, which
will be held three times at
the Florence Playhouse.
The summer camps are
the major educational compo-

nent to the CROW theatre
program, during which,
students learn the key skills
required to audition and
perform in a main stage
show.
In order to obtain a scholar-
ship, applicants were required
to submit answers to several
essay questions on various
topics such as what drives
their desire to be involved in
the performing arts.

Lisa’s Avant Gardener Tips of the Week
• Prune lilacs, azaleas, and rhododendrons after blooming. Remember
to only cut some of the branches on rhododendrons and lilacs as
these plants bloom on second year wood.
• Apply benefi cial nematodes for root weevil problems on azaleas.
• Put down bark mulch to conserve water in beds for summer.

Although Alanis felt she did
not owe her mother tears of grief,
she did feel she owed her justice.
This book is a romp. It
bounces from the present in
Berdache, Ariz., to the past. We
meet interesting characters like
Biddle (only in flashbacks and
italic print), Clarice (an inherited
roommate) and Josh Logan (tall,
dark, handsome and Berdache’s
only police detective).
However, my favorite charac-
ter is Miss Chance, the author of
“Infinite Roads to Knowing,” a
how-to book of tarot reading.
Miss Chance is snarky and a
hoot. Her tarot cards are warped,
ofttimes hilarious. This aspect of
the book is the work of co-author
Lisa Falco, a tarot enthusiast
since age 8.
This is a fun, fast, engaging
read.

Hearing is believing
mendation and touching per-
sonal narratives we received
via the scholarship applica-
tions,” said CROW Artistic
Director Melanie Heard. “So
many local families have
overcome tremendous obsta-
cles such as financial difficul-
ties, the passing of loved
ones, enormous medical bills,
sudden job loss and so much
more. We feel very blessed to
have the funds to provide to
these kids, so that they can
attend camps without adding
additional stress to their fam-
ilies.”
Heard pointed out that
none of the scholarship funds
would be possible without the
support of CROW’s audience
members, donors, sponsors,
and supporters.
“We are fortunate to live in
such a vibrant, artistic com-
munity that truly understands
the importance of quality arts
education,” she said.
CROW is a 501(c)(3) non-
profit organization, headquar-
tered in Florence, with an
educational philosophy of
“The sky’s the limit.”
CROW practices what it
preaches, which is evidenced
by its professional-caliber
youth theatre productions.
Local audiences may have
enjoyed last April’s produc-
tion of “Once Upon A
Mattress” at the Florence
Events Center.
CROW is already in the
planning stages for an
upcoming Spring 2016 musi-
cal, the title of which will be
revealed on July 31 at 3 p.m.
at the Florence Playhouse at
the end-of-camp showcase
for “Games, Games, Games!
Acting and Improvisational
Camp.”
The showcase and “reveal”
is free to the public, although
seating is limited and first
come, first served.

information about CROW,
including ways that you can
donate to help make many
kids’ dreams come true,
