SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016 Homegrown to host free beer, wine tasting On April 29, Homegrown Pub, 294 Laurel St. in Historic Old Town, will host Arch Rock Brewing for a free beer and wine tasting as part of a series highlighting breweries and wine makers from around Oregon. Gold Beach is home to Arch Rock Brewing, which opened its doors on Jan. 25, 2013, after converting co- owners Larry and Marjie Brennan’s cabinet shop into a brewery. The Brennans decided they wanted to start up a brewery but quickly realized they would need to hire a profes- sional brewer to make it hap- pen. They started the plan- ning process in early 2012, hired their brewer, James Smith, in June and started converting the building from cabinet shop to brewery. Smith has been a profes- sional brewer since 2004. He moved here from Victor, Idaho, with his wife Kristen. This was a dream opportuni- ty for them to be part of a start-up brewery and a chance for Smith to make his own beer and live on the beautiful southern Oregon coast. Arch Rock currently offers a lager, a pale ale and a porter, as well as any single batch brews that Smith cre- ates. Homegrown’s free beer and wine tastings are Fridays, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. For more information, call 541-997-4886.

Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge April 22: Earth Day Book Review by Susie Voth April 22, 1970, was the first Earth Day. After witnessing a massive oil spill at Santa Barbara, Calif., Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day to heighten awareness of environmental issues. Some 20 million Americans participated in the first Earth Day. In 1990, Earth Day went worldwide and 200 million people in 141 countries joined the movement. The United Nations declared April 22 as International Mother Earth Day in 2009. By 2010, more than 1 billion people in more than 180 coun- tries participated. We know the earth is our home, the home of our children and future genera- tions of children. It is imperative that we care for the earth and one way to start is to share with our chil- dren the importance of living gently on the earth.
