SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 PFLAG to celebrate fifth anniversary at next meeting Much has happened in the five years since the very first meeting “for those poten- tially interested in PFLAG” was held at the Siuslaw Public Library in September 2011.

In the title story, an unnamed narrator describes with cool pre- cision a catastrophe that strikes a seaside town, both tearing lives apart and bringing them togeth- er. In a prize-winning story “The Gun,” a boy’s life is marked by the afternoon he encounters a semiautomatic pistol belonging to his friend’s older brother; in “The Island,” a Greek princess is abandoned on an island by her abductor; in “The Boys Who Left Home to Learn Fear,” a group of adventurers travel deep in the Amazon jungle but discov- er the gravest danger lurking among their own number. The characters here are often isolated physically or estranged from their families, yet they yearn for connection. Drawing inventively from his- tory, myth, folktales and modern F LO T ONES The FloTones will tell you all about what can happen when you and your friends get caught up by Latin rhythms. You might “Begin with the Beguine” in “Hernando’s Hideaway” and then Mambo with a nice Italiano in old Milano on your way to Napoli for an enchilada with fish bacala. Then “Sway on to Brazil” where you can “Blame It on the Bossa Nova” if you end up spending “A Day in the Life of a Fool.” You won’t be “Desafinado” (slightly out of tune) if you make sure you do a “Summer Samba” to “The Rhythm of the Night.” If it’s “Too Hot to Samba,” just catch the “Wave” and fol- low “Nica’s Dream” to some “Quiet Nights” by a window looking out on the mountains and the sea. All this and more is coming to the Florence Events Center in two flat-floor performances TO life, this story collection shows Haddon’s immense gifts of invention and insight. Story Time and Lego Club are back September marks the return of two popular children’s pro- grams. Twice-weekly, Story Time with Ms. Gayle is a time spent on hearing great stories, playing games and enjoying fun craft activities. Story Time is each Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 a.m. The Lego Club is held the first and third Friday of each month at 2:30 p.m., either in the Bromley or Conference room. Kids from grades 2 through 6 are invited to come and enjoy creating things with the ever popular Legos. Providing your email address helps There are certain advantages if you have an email address and provide that address to the library. First, when you are expecting to receive a book that’s been on hold for you, you will immediately be notified when available — you don’t have to wait for the mail and you help save the library postage. How great is that? ‘M AMBO ’ WITH 5 A Next, you will get an email three days before your materials are due, alerting you to either renew the checkout or return the items. Also, you can receive overdue notices by email. And finally, if you fail to renew your library account, which is required each year, you’ll get an email a month after it expires reminding you to renew. The accounts need to be renewed so that we have an opportunity to update any changes to address, email or contact information. If not renewed, your account will ultimately be dropped off the library system in 18 months. So, be sure to provide your email address, for some great advantages.

Meet Raider I am looking for an awesome family to call my own. I’ve also been told I’m a very smart boy. I know many tricks...sit, down, shake, high fi ve, roll over and the cutest sit pretty you have ever seen. The only issue I have is that I do not like cats or small dogs, I get a bit over eager when I see other dogs so the kennel staff has not done a meet and greet with any of the other dogs here. And don’t get me started on tug of war, because I will win...

CCB #164472 541-999-0742 featured beer will be Claim 52 Brewing from Eugene. Claim 52 is a community- scale brewery serving Eugene and surrounding areas since 2012. Its name reflects its deep roots in the community, as well as its humble begin- nings as a company. The name “Claim 52” refers to the land claim set- tled by pioneer William Luckey in what is now part of South Eugene — where Claim 52’s first recipes were developed. While the brewery has grown a bit over the years, its mission remains the same: to bring incredibly flavorful and approachable beers fresh from tank to tap. Unless it’s a specialty barrel-aged beer, you won’t find Claim 52 sit- ting on the grocery store shelf. With a pioneering spirit and unwavering attention to quali- ty, Claim 52 strives to put a unique stamp on traditional beer styles, like its German Kolsch, IPAs and Northwest red ale, as well as a rotation of seasonal varieties. Homegrown Public House is at 294 Laurel St. in Historic Old Town Florence. For more information, call 541-997-4886.
