have applied for a grant from

determine what would assist
the families the most as they
move in.
Sandy Kulman explains,
“Those grantors who provide
monies for local projects real-
ly like it when local organiza-
tions come together to serve
those in the community.”
So far, three families have
benefited from the Beacon
grant money, which is avail-
able for ongoing annual proj-

Siuslaw Watershed Council
has been engaging residents,
landowners, businesses and
other interested parties to help
improve and enhance the qual-
ity of life for all inhabitants in
the Siuslaw.
Come hear inspiring stories
of the past, why the Siuslaw is
an important watershed and
celebrate ways to contribute to
furthering watershed health
and the important work of the
SWC.

the family will receive a newly

International marching band coming to Florence
The Beat Goes On (TBGO)
is an international award-win-
ning all-adult band based in
Portland, Ore., that will be
coming to Port of Siuslaw
Boardwalk in Florence on
Friday, Sept. 15.
Renowned for its upbeat atti-
tude and feel-good musical
selections, TBGO features a
high-energy, brassy, rock and
roll style.
“We may be a marching
band,” said music director
Steve Tolopka, “but we’re
more likely to play Bruno Mars
or Pitbull than John Philip
Sousa.”
The band has performed at
venues from British Columbia
to the Bahamas and holds the
honor of being the first march-
ing band to open a session of
the
Oregon
House
of
Representatives.
Recent major appearances
have included the world’s third
largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade
in Savannah, Ga.; San Antonio
Fiesta Flambeau Parade; and
an 11-day trip to China as the
United States representative to

“Fortunately,” said TBGO
travel director Tom Higham,
“we’ll only march about four
or five miles, not the whole
parade.”
This “road trip” is TBGO’s
first-ever appearance along the
central and southern Oregon
Coast.
“We love playing for new
audiences and hope to see you
at our show Sept. 15,” said
Higham. “We’ll be down at the
boardwalk with a rousing show
beginning at noon.
“Admission is free, so come
out and end your week on a
high note.”
From Florence, The Beat
Goes On will head south to
