Buy a Dutch Bros., help
local children Thurday
On Thursday, Sept. 29,
Dutch Bros. will celebrate by
donating $1 from every drink
sold to local children’s organi-
zations.
On Thursday, all Dutch
Bros locations in the seven
states the company operates
will donate $1 from every
drink sold to local youth
organizations to celebrate
National Coffee Day.
Each Dutch Bros. location
is locally owned and operated,
enabling each franchisee to
select a local nonprofit organi-
zation that strives to better the
lives of youth in their area.
“It’s National Coffee Day,
and we’re super stoked to
show our love and apprecia-
tion for kids,” said co-founder
Travis Boersma. “We’re going
to donate $1 from every drink
to show our support for kids,
which is where our heart real-
ly lies.
“This year, we get to cele-
brate and thank our customers
while supporting children’s
organizations in our communi-
ties.”
Buck for Kids is an annual
event that in the past has been
held on the first Friday of
December. This year, the com-
pany wanted to disrupt the
rules in the coffee industry,
and use National Coffee Day
as a platform to positively
impact the communities Dutch
Bros. employees are thankful
to call home.
Buck for Kids is an opportu-
nity for Dutch Bros. to partner
with its communities to sup-
port organizations that strive
to positively mentor, support
and better the lives of local
youth.

School cheerleaders.

and only takes about 15 min-
utes.
“We would love to have as

Review
B Y B URNEY G ARELICK
It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and
everyone needs a forever
friend, even at the risk of
weaving a tangled web of mar-
ital discord. A love triangle is a
trying situation with three indi-
viduals at odds, especially
when one of them is a dog
named Sylvia.
“Sylvia” is a play by A.R.
Gurney currently on stage at
Class Act Theatre, the second
show in CAT’s first season. A
playwright who turns a phrase
with sparkling wit, Gurney is

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
Round-Up
What causes cancer? Why
does it happen? Will too much of
anything give you cancer?
Dr. Charles King will address
these and other issues in a pres-
entation at the library on
Tuesday, Oct. 4, beginning at 1
p.m. in the Bromley Room.
King was awarded his Ph.D.
in biochemistry from the
University of Minnesota, and
began a lifetime’s work of
researching the origins of cancer,
on which he has published exten-
sively. In this program designed
for a general audience, King, a
Florence resident, will explain
what carcinogens are, changes in
best known for “Love Letters,”
the popular epistolary romance
that played twice in Florence
in recent decades.
“Sylvia” is a situation come-
dy, a dire situation for Greg
and Kate whose kids have left
the nest, freeing them for fresh
pursuits. Kate is excited to
teach inner-city kids the joy of
Shakespeare, but Greg is
depressed by his career in high
finance. He spends his days sit-
ting in the park in vague dis-
content.
Enter Sylvia, a talking dog,
nimbly played by a female
actor whose bark is brilliant,
biting, and hilarious. Sylvia
gloms on to Greg who brings
her home, much to Kate’s dis-
may.

Dr. King to discuss
carcinogenesis
cancer rates over time, the envi-
ronmental basis for cancer and
much more.
Anyone interested in science
and medicine should not miss
this important program.
Free storytelling workshop
On Saturday, Oct. 22, from 2
to 4 p.m., Portland Story Theater
(PST) will be presenting a work-
shop on the art of storytelling. In
its workshops, PST teaches
“intentional storytelling” where
people will learn how to tell sto-
ries improvisationally by being
resourceful and using the power
of spontaneity.
Attendees will get a chance to
learn about story structure, the
power of presence, the differ-
ences between writing and
telling and to find the story that
needs to be told. The workshop
will give a taste of that ancient
art form in a fast-paced, fun
environment.
Workshop size is limited to 25
participants, so pre-registration
is required.
Stop by the Reference Desk or
call 541-997-3132 to sign-up.
For those who would just like
to listen to storytelling, the PST
will be doing a free show at the
library that evening at 7 p.m.
Look in future Tidings for
more information.

Many of the books are com-
monly challenged, particularly in
schools. Among the commonly
challenged books are “The
Absolutely True Diary of a Part-
Time Indian” by Sherman
Alexie, “The Kite Runner” by
Khaled Hosseini, “Beloved” by
Toni Morrison and “The
Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn” by Mark Twain.
Other books include “The

“The Namesake” by Jhumpa

“Where is Saliva?” Kay
mocks.
“Sylvia!” Greg corrects.
Greg’s attachment to Sylvia
borders on pathological. He
dotes on her as if she were a
child and talks to her as if she
were a person. Sylvia does not
cotton to philosophical dis-
course. She is more interested
in sexy Bowser, the stud at the
dog park. Greg can’t under-
stand that a dog is just a dog.
Kate schemes a way to get
Sylvia out of their lives, but
her plan sends Greg into a tail-
spin that sends them both to a
cockeyed, androgynous mar-
riage counselor.
Without giving anything
away, it’s safe to say that, for
the most part, all’s well that
ends well — which happens to
be the title of a comedy by
Shakespeare and a book of
Kate’s that Sylvia has swiped,
chewed and stashed.
Sylvia is featured in another
of the Bard’s comedies, “Two
Gentlemen of Verona.” Greg
quotes the passage: “Who is
Sylvia? What is she that all our
swains commend her?”
Sylvia is downright irre-
sistible, especially as played by
Polly Fleming, who absolutely
nails the part. Fleming’s loose-
limbed flexibility mirrors the
leaping, jumping, sniffing and
snuffling of a canine. Her
snarky attitude and speech pro-
pel the comedy, dissolving any
suggestion of soapy melodra-
ma.
Show director and CAT co-
proprietor David Lauria’s role
as Greg is an understated per-
formance without irony — a
warm, intelligent, middle-aged
man out of tune in a frazzled
world. Paula Burnette’s Kate is
also understated in her genuine
concern and unabashed frustra-
tion.
Alexander Grady captures
the comedy in two roles. He
plays Greg’s dog park buddy,
Tom, who flourishes a litany of
psychology regarding man and
beast. Grady also plays Leslie,
the marriage counselor in need
of counseling.
Rosemary Lauria, CAT co-
proprietor, does a comic turn as
Phyllis, Kate’s ditsy college
classmate, distressed by
Sylvia’s exuberant affection.
The stage is set with the
cheerful elegance of a New
York apartment. Unobtrusive
lighting transforms it to the
counselor’s office and back
again, with faux trees to the
right and left for the park
scenes. Incidental music tickles
the ears, especially Cole
Porter’s “Every Time We Say
Goodbye,” sung by Ella
Fitzgerald with Greg, Sylvia
and Kate joining in because
parting is such sweet sorrow.
“Sylvia” plays Fridays and
Saturdays, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1,
at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 2, at
2 p.m.
