6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2016 Rock with Steel Wool Saturday at Pop’s October RAIN includes Steel Wool, a Eugene acoustic rock band, will per- form in Mapleton this October as part of the band’s four-bene- fits-a-year policy. On Saturday, Oct. 1, the pop- ular band will perform at Pop’s Smokehouse in Mapleton to benefit the Mapleton Pre- Kindergarten Program. In addition, they just com- pleted — both performing and volunteering — five days at the Autism Rocks Friends and Family Camp, where they have been an integral part of that event’s success for many years. “All of us are part of one community, and all of you are part of our lives,” said Tim Mueller, songwriter for Steel Wool. “We are all in this togeth- er, doing our best to make it work for every- one.” Inspired by CSN, the Eagles and Paul Simon, these four musicians breathe fresh life into deep grooves cut by time and experience, bringing acoustic rock into the 21st century. Steel Wool is a harmo- ny loving, acoustic rock band spinning on the edges of funk, rock, folk and traditional Zimbabwean mbira music — happily serious and family friendly. Steel Wool will play from 4 to 7 p.m. at Pop’s Smokehouse, on Highway 126 State of the Startup COURTESY PHOTO The Steel Wool band in Mapleton.

Our community has been so sup- portive to this club. That enables these kids to have these opportunities and to have the programs that we have. I want these kids, from a very young age, to under- stand that they have been given a gift. When you receive a gift, you also have a responsibility to pass it on. That is what we have been trying to do on the citizen- ship side of the program,” he added. A new Teen Center pro- gram starting this year is called “Smart Girl.” “This is a program that has been developed by Boys and Girls Club of America, work- ing with a number of differ- ent organizations,” Trent said. “It looks at a variety of areas. We will be talking with the girls about topics like self-esteem, confidence, relationships and dating.” By next spring, Trent said he believes the elementary program will have between 85 and 100 students and the Teen Center will have about 50 members. This is in addi- tion to the several hundred members that participate in the club’s many after school sports, cheerleading and drum corps programs. “Everything the club is doing going forward is based on giving these kids the life- skills that are going to create opportunities for them, so that no matter where they go or what they do after they graduate, they will have the essential skills to help them be successful,” Trent said.
