Library

The Oregon Coast Humane
Society (OCHS) and City
Lights Cinemas are sponsoring

award-winning
film
“SMART: The Documentary”
at City Lights, 1930 Highway

Specialized Mobile Animal
Rescue Team (SMART) is the
first small-animal urban rescue
team, located in Los Angeles,
and it will rescue any type of
small animal — stray, wild or
owned.
When any animal is in trou-
ble, LA residents can call
SMART any time of the day,
seven days per week. These
dedicated animal services offi-
cers will also rescue large ani-
mals, such as horses, as well as
a variety of wildlife.
The film is a documentary
of some exciting rescues the
team has performed. A trailer
for the movie can be found at
www.smartmoviedoc.com/.
The SMART documentary
director, Justin Zimmerman,
will give a talk and answer
questions immediately follow-
ing the screening.
Tickets for the movie are $7
for children, $9 for adults and
$8 for seniors. Proceeds from
the movie will benefit the dogs
and cats at OCHS.
Members of OCHS will be
in the lobby of the theater to
answer any questions about
local animal rescue, shelter
membership and information
about how to help local res-
cued animals. There will even
be a few kittens and dogs look-
ing for homes.
OCHS will sponsor a recep-
tion for the director and those
who have attended the film at
Coast Village, 131 Rhody
Loop, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Light refreshments will be
served.

Just what is a
police procedural?
By Susie Voth
There are many categories of
the mystery novel, one being the
police procedural. The term
“police procedural” was coined
in 1956 by mystery critic
Anthony Boucher in his regular
New York Times Book Review
column.
Police procedurals are gritty
novels depicting the activities of
a police force as a crime is inves-
tigated. Authors of this type of
crime novel attempt to accurate-
ly represent the way in which
police officers collect evidence,
interrogate suspects and use
forensics and autopsies to solve
crimes.
Many police procedurals are
written as a series featuring the
same characters. The characters
change and grow over time.
They have quirks, faults and tal-
ents that endear them to the
reader. Often the characters have
rich personal lives and relation-
ships.
I have a few police procedural
series that I read religiously. I’m
especially fond of Chief
Inspector Armand Gamache of
the Surete du Quebec in Canada.
Most of the crimes in this series
either take place in or involve
residents of Three Pines, a small
town in the wilderness.
I would suggest starting the
series at the beginning with the
book “Still Life.” Currently, I am
waiting for August when the
next book in this series, “A Great
Reckoning,” will be released.
Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch
is a character from a police pro-
cedural series by Michael
Connelly.
Bosch is an LAPD detective.
He is sometimes a loose cannon;
the rules of the law often do not
apply to him. He is frequently in
trouble with his superiors.
The first book in this series is
“The Black Echo.” The library
has many of the Harry Bosch
books on CD.
My current favorite police
procedural series is by Deborah
Crombie and features Duncan
Kincaid and Gemma James. “A
Share in Death” is the first book
in the series.

Mapleton branch

Tomorrow, July 21, the annual
Mapleton Open House will start
at 5 p.m. and celebrate another
year of service to the upper
Siuslaw communities.
Siuslaw Public Library will

who is retiring this month, and
who has been a generous con-
tributor of book reviews for this
column.
The open house is open to all

refreshments.
Whether you are a regular
patron of the Mapleton branch or
if you’ve never visited before, be

We hope to see you there!
Cafe raises funds for 3 nonprofits during Power of Florence
On July 16, the Power of
Florence provided an opportu-
nity for local residents and
businesses to show their giving
spirit by helping others and the
community. The Little Brown
Hen Café saw it as a way to
help its neighbors as well.
On Saturday and Sunday
during the Power of Florence
weekend, the Little Brown Hen
Café donated half of all its cof-
fee sales during its busiest days
to three local charities in the
area. The cafe’s efforts raised
more than $450.
A check for $150 was given
to local theater group
Children’s
Repertory
of
Oregon Workshops (CROW).

In addition, the cafe was able to
purchase $150 in needed food
for Florence Food Share, and
pet food for the Oregon Coast
Humane Society.
The Little Brown Hen is
no stranger to fundraising
events. Over the last eight
years, it has raised more than
$80,000 through events that
include community spaghetti
feeds.
“We could not do this with-
out the support of our commu-
nity and customers who always
show up for us when we raise
funds to help others,” said
Stacy Brown, owner of The
Little Brown Hen. “A huge
thank you.”

year-old chapter continues to
support local nonprofit organiza-
tions.
Recipes date from the 1600s to
the 20th century and include
Mary Gill’s prize-winning recipe
for “Braised Short Ribs,” pub-
lished in “Taste of Home” maga-
zine in October 2004.
Until ketchup making was
standardized by Fannie Farmer,
head of Boston Cooking School,
in the late 19th century, this pop-
ular condiment was made from
many kinds of fruits and vegeta-
bles.
The recipe for “Cucumber
Ketchup” is worth a try. Learn to
make “Maxine’s Bean Salad,” as
served at Newton’s Ice Cream
Parlor in Lake Oswego, Ore., in
the 1960s and 1970s.
Many of the recipes are
accompanied by stories, such as
by Merilee Mulvey:
Mulvey shared that her dad
took her and her brother out fish-
ing for trout on camping trips
when they were children. The
prepared fish was the most deli-
cious meal a child could imagine.
Cook up some memories with
“DAR: Delicious Ancestral
Recipes.” Help the chapter sup-
port the community with an
annual scholarship, the Oregon
Coast Military Museum, veter-
ans’ needs, Project Patriot (sup-
porting active duty military),
Food Backpacks for Kids, Food
Share and other projects that sup-
port historical preservation, edu-
cation and patriotism.
