Final Florence Herbalist to be held
All About Olives isn’t just
the name of a local business.
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.

and hair as a matter of groom-

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.”

Siuslaw High School’s
Senior Teachers Professional
Learning Community is focus-
ing on academic aspirations
and overcoming obstacles. 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.

ing out, contact Kim Bollinger
