She and her husband Jon Stewart (formally of The Daily Show) own a 12-acre par- cel in New Jersey. In 2015, the couple decided to partner with Farm Sanctuary, America’s leading farm animal protection organization, to help save abused animals. “Do Unto Animals” is Tracey Stewart’s way to share her pas- sion for animals with a wider audience. The book is divided into three sections: Animals at Home, Backyard Wildlife and Falling in Love on the Farm. The Animals at Home section provides information about those animals that we invite into our homes — dogs and cats as well as tropical birds, rodents and fish. Stewart offers very specific information about how to make dogs and cats happy, how to interpret the language of ani- mals, how to go about finding a pet and many other useful tid- bits of information. She provides directions for homemade animal crafts and recipes for yummy treats in this section. Stewart’s passion for animals does not stop at her front door. She also steps into her yard to embrace wildlife. In section two, Backyard Wildlife, she addresses many pertinent issues such as the importance of pollinators in a garden. There are instructions for making a “bee house” on page 99. With the decline of the bee population, small measures like this can make a huge dif- ference. The final section of the book is Falling in Love on the Farm. Stewart writes, “Our rela- tionship with farm animals is perhaps the most fraught and complicated...” She discusses in detail human relationships with cows, pigs, horses, goats, sheep, and other farm critters. Stewart is a vegan, so the animals on her farm will never end up on the dining table. They will be petted and treated with loving kindness, just as we would wish to be treated. Jennings and Keller — free concert The library will present musicians and singers Laurie Jennings Oudin and Dana Keller on Tuesday, July 19, at 6 p.m. presenting “Fusion Folk Americana.” The award-winning duo is Poet, artist and social racon- teur Chris Chandler is return- ing to Florence on Sunday, July 17, in a KXCR-sponsored pres- entation at the Siuslaw Public Library. This unique show will be more than storytelling and stream of consciousness recita- tions of original satire and humor. There’s music, too. Chandler will be accompa- nied by his acoustic guitar mas- ter sidekick, Paul Benoit, as he depicts scenes from his travels across the United States. Son of a Baptist preacher, Chandler began performing as a street musician. He describes driving his car across the coun- try to shows as “taking the pulse of America.” “COOL AT THE COAST” SUMMER GOLF SPECTACULAR AT OCEAN DUNES GOLF LINKS (541) 997-3232 Customer Appreciation BBQ www.coolatthecoast.com Saturday, August 6, 2016 • Shotgun Start 10 a.m. 2016 FORD MUSTANG HOLE IN ONE PRIZE Friday, July 15, 11am to 2pm SPONSORED BY THREE RIVERS CASINO RESORT *Free BBQ! *Drawings! *Giveaways!

Part preacher, poet, vision- ary and wandering minstrel, Chandler can cast a spell over his audience unlike any other performer. For close to 30 years, he has performed his vignettes about politics and modern culture in coffee hous- es and other venues about 250 times a year. A show business veteran, Chandler promises to be provocative, hilarious and give his audience an entertaining evening. To quote Mojo Nixon, “I thought I was the last American weirdo, and then I met Chris Chandler.” The show will take place at 7 p.m. in the library’s Bromley Room, 1460 Ninth St. Refreshments will be pro- vided. Chandler’s presentations are rapid-fire, poetic expressions which, below the surface, betray a deep respect for lan- guage, literature and democra- cy. There is no cover charge at the door but donations for the performers will be accepted. For more about Chris Chandler, visit www.chris chandler.org.
