It’s also title of the program for the final meeting of the Florence Herb Enthusiasts, Thursday, Oct. 20, beginning at 11 a.m. The meeting will be held at New Life Lutheran Church, 2100 Spruce St., and will fea- ture All About Olives owners Dave and Lynne Twombly, sharing insight about this amazing fruit. And yes, olives are consid- ered a fruit. After several years of spend- ing quite a bit of money buying olives and olive oil during annual trips to Sisters Olive and Nut Company, they decid- ed Florence needed a local resource. Three months later, the Twomblys opened their shop on on Bay Street. After establishing them- selves, they were able to move to a larger and more successful location on the corner of Bay and Maple streets. The Twomblys will share their passion for olives, a bit about the process of making olives palatable, along with delicious samples. Olives aren’t a fruit that can be picked off of a tree and enjoy immediately. With generous samples of their many varieties of olives and olive oils, there’s some- thing for everyone to savor. In addition, a few products will be available for purchase. Ancient Greeks used to smear olive oil on their bodies and hair as a matter of groom- COURTESY PHOTO Lynne Twombly and Gladys Wilds ing and good health. Olive oil was used to anoint kings and athletes in ancient Greece. It was also burnt in the sacred lamps of temples as well as being the “eternal flame” of the original Olympic Games. Victors in these games were crowned with olive leaves. As one of the first cultivated foods, olives were first planted in Crete 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Although their fat content seems high, almost three fourths of it is the healthy monounsaturated type, which includes cholesterol lowering properties. Olives are also a source of vitamin E, iron, cop- per and dietary fiber. Join the Florence Herb Enthusiasts for its final meet- ing and learn All About Olives. The club, established in September 2004, will be dis- solving after this meeting. “We’ve had a great run and provided more than 140 pro- grams to educate members of our community,” said club co- founder Jacquie Beveridge. “My husband wants to travel while he is willing and able. Without reliable support to keep the club going, it’s time for us to appreciate the educa- tion the club has provided for our community.” For 12 years, the club has featured speakers from local businesses and experts such as Salmonberry Naturals, Laurel Bay Gardens, The Real Food Co-Op; Honeyman Nursery; Rebecca Paternostro; Anna Moore; Frances Klippel, Natures Corner, Rosa’s Mexican Restaurant, JoAnn Whitney (Chief Pharmacist at Bi-Mart); Jesse Beers (Cultural Director Coos, and Lower Umpqua Tribe); and Dr. Mark and Patricia Immel. Speakers from Albany, Corvallis, Alsea, Eugene and Elkton have shared their pro- grams. The club has facilitated field trips to Elkton, Blatchley, Silverton, along with annual trips to Thyme Garden in Alsea. Workshops have featured how to make your own sushi, herbal candles, cough syrup, flower essences and an annual wreath-making extravaganza. “It’s been great fun facilitat- ing these programs over the years,” said Beveridge. “Knowing that members of our community are better informed about the useful plants is extremely rewarding.” Humane Society Christmas Siuslaw Alumni sought for advice panel for students Store seeks volunteers Volunteers are needed to help assist shoppers at the Oregon Coast Humane Society (OCHS) Christmas Store beginning Nov. 1.

It is trying to form a panel of past graduates to present to current juniors and seniors. SHS is looking for a few Siuslaw Alumni who have sto- ries to tell about: Was high school tough for you? Was college what you expected? Did you work through some difficult times to come out better in the end? What might you have done differently if you had the chance to do it again? The goal is to put together a group of speakers, as well as some posters with alumni bios to motivate current students. The end goal is for area stu- dents to graduate ready to face the world and reach their goals. If you are interested in help- ing out, contact Kim Bollinger Pickell at kpickell@siuslaw .k12.or.us.
