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.

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.

offer their works to readers of
all persuasions.
This year’s event is set for
Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., and retired
Siuslaw News writer and still
occasional contributor Burney
Garelick will be among all the
authors on hand.
Garelick will be ensconced
at a festival table displaying
four books, including the latest
addition to her eclectic
menagerie of spectacular sylla-
bles.
Her new book, “Also
Selected Short Subjects,” is a
collection of stories that
includes a couple of eccentric
octogenarian sleuths, loqua-
cious four-legged friends, sen-
ior improvisations, proportion-
al choices, leprechauns, and
the origin of a bibliophile.
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

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

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.
