SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2016 Florence man to celebrate 100 years Elkton musician to debut at Backstreet Singer-songwriter Phil Berglund will sere- nade all who visit Backstreet Gallery during the monthly Second Saturday Gallery Tour on Feb. 13, from 3 to 5 p.m., with many old- favorite love songs for that special day-before- Valentine’s Day. Refreshments provided by Marianne’s Le Bouchon will be part of the day’s fare at the gallery, 1421 Bay St., across from Mo’s. Berglund, who was born and raised in Idaho, grew up during the British music inva- sion (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dave Clark Five, etc.) and got his first guitar at age 13 — and never looked back. His music influences include all the British bands, Beach Boys, Crosby Stills and Nash, John Denver, Cat Stevens, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel and those geniuses that wrote all the great Jazz Standards. Harold Nusbaum is turning 100 years old and he would like friends, family and acquaintances to help him celebrate. The party will be Saturday, Feb. 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Florence Senior Center, 1570 Kingwood. The senior center is familiar territory for Nusbaum. He began working with the center in 1984, soon after he retired from the forest industry and it has kept him busy ever since. “I think that’s what’s kept me alive all these years,” said Nusbaum. He has been on the board of directors for the last 32 years. Nearly half that time he acted as board president. He was the Senior Center’s bingo manager for at least 25 years and he delivered Meals on Wheels much of that time. In 2000, Nusbaum was named the J.C. Penney Volunteer of the Year, with Nusbaum donating the $500 prize to the Senior Center. Nusbaum was born Feb. 10, FRAA ART CENTER 120 Maple Street Phone: 541-997-4435 Hours Open: Wed-Fri noon-5pm, Sat 10am-5pm, Sun. noon-5pm CLASSES & WORKSHOPS WRITING EVENTS Creative Writing Workshops February: Writing from the Heart: Storytelling Essentials Saturdays Feb 20 and March 19, 10:00 am-12:00 pm $20/members, $25/non-members Contact: Catherine Rourke, CJReditor@gmail.com, 541-708-2120 Writer’s SALON Thurs., Feb 11 and March 10, 5 - 7 pm Get together with Writers of all kinds to talk and share ideas.
