SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 3 A DAR hosting library display for ‘Constitution Week’ Administration chief honors fallen firefighters In recognition of the annual observation of Constitution Week, Sept. 17 through 23, Oregon Dunes Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) continues its tradition of providing a dis- play at Siuslaw Public Library to emphasize the importance of our nation's constitution. Included in the display are replica coin and paper money from the era and a print out of the importance of the Currency Act of the Colonists. The “Grand Union” flag and “Betsy Ross” flag are part of the display, along with expla- nations of the significance of each flag. Other items will help invite your interest in under- standing the foundation of our government. The library has provided several books for the display for those who want to learn more. On Sept. 19, Mayor Joe Henry will present a proclama- tion in recognition of Constitution Week to Oregon Dunes Chapter members at the Florence City Council meeting. DAR initiated the obser- vance in 1955, when the organ- ization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate Sept. 17- 23 each year to the commemo- ration of Consti-tution Week.

COURTESY PHOTO These and other Constitution-themed items are currently on display at the library. Congress adopted the resolu- tion, and on Aug. 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisen- hower signed it into Public Law No. 915. The celebration’s goals are: 1) to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; 2) to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life; and 3) to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution. By fostering knowledge of and appreciation for the Constitution and the inalien- able rights it affords to all Americans, DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured the nation’s independence. DAR strives to promote his- toric preservation, education and patriotism via commemo- rative events, scholarships and educational initiatives, citizen- ship programs, service to veter- ans, meaningful community service and more.

Popcorn not included. Last year, Garelick pub- lished her novel “Big Dunes, Gold Doubloons, Coffee Spoons and Loony Tunes.” She describes it as a rollicking ride over the Oregon dunes with Diva and her reluctant Gallic spouse, along with a WEDNESDAY THURSDAY charming curmudgeon. “Take a spin on the shifting sands where you’ll encounter a mul- tilingual Ice Cream Cat, the First Lady of the Air, four beetles on a med- ical mission, King Midas, Marco Not Polo, a pirate who sings light opera, The Red Nuns of Fuchsia, Teddy Bears on a picnic, and actual coastal characters you may recognize,” says Garelick. Interspersed through- out the story are a few of her concert and theater reviews reprised from yester- year. Garelick’s first two books, “It’s Not Over: Mornings at the Met” and “Mew & Cry :Catcalls from the Box,” include reviews of Metropolitan Opera perform- ances from seasons 2013-14 and 2014-15 as seen live on a big screen in Newport. If you’ve ever wondered what’s so grand about opera but have been reluctant to take COURTESY PHOTO Burney Garelick the first step, you’re not alone. “That’s how I felt,” Garelick said, “until I took a deep breath, plunged in and became so entranced that I wanted to share the experience. Even if you’ve always loved opera, you’ll be amused by the reviews.” September in Florence is a time for turning leaves and turning pages. “Come by my table and take a gander,” Garelick adds. Her books are also available at www.amazon.com.
