SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 2018 DAR to hear presentation on Chemawa Indian School 5 A New girl in town COURTESY PHOTO Chris Meinicke (second from left), presents students in the DAR club with blankets. Chris Meinicke, National Advisor for Chemawa Indian School in Salem, will present a program at the Jan. 26 meeting of the Oregon Dunes Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Meinicke, a descendant of Oregon pioneers, has a great passion for local history. She volun- teers at the DAR museums in Champoeg State Park and Columbia City, as well as at the Multnomah Falls Visitor Center. The promotion of education is one of the three founding objectives of the National Society, DAR. Nationally, the committee sup- ports two DAR Schools and four DAR approved Schools. All of these schools were begun in rural and disadvantaged areas where public education was not accessible. Its mission is to provide traditional values and educational skills to the students in order to help them reach their full potential in life. While each school has a different focus, they serve a variety of special needs programs including adult litera- cy, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia and chil- dren in family crisis. Currently, DAR Schools serve thousands of students from pre-school through college and are helping to make a difference in their lives. Established in 1880, Chemawa is the oldest continually operating off-reservation boarding school in the United States. DAR provides extra funding and support for the school that the Bureau of Indian Affairs might otherwise not be able to provide, such as new bedding for all the dorm beds or quilts for all the students. The Oregon Dunes Chapter has contributed towards sports uniforms. Though DAR is a lineage organization, mem- bers of the community are welcome to attend the program in a casual setting and learn more about Oregon’s Chemawa Indian School. Those interested in attending can contact Karen Childs at 541-997-7154 for the location information. The local DAR chapter supports active duty military, military veterans, and awards an annual scholarship to a graduating senior. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for DAR mem- bership. Anyone interested in membership can contact Childs or visit the national website at www.dar.org.

D AY This Sunday, Jan. 14, at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the Rev. Ruth Miller will lead the worship service titled, “We Know Our Intentions by Our Results.” Miller asks, “How can we know what we (or those around us) really intend? Wise teachers across history and cultures have taught that the best way to discover what we truly believe and expect is to look at what we’re actually creating and experiencing. What do we see when we look around us? If we don’t like it, can we change it? “This weekend we celebrate the birth and life of one of America’s great leaders, a man who decided to change what he saw in his environment.” Miller will help the congregation see how Martin Luther King Jr.’s intentions evolved to make that possible, and how people can accom- plish similar things in today’s world. The meeting will be from 10 to 11 a.m. FUUF is located at 87738 Highway 101, at Heceta Beach Road, and is wheelchair accessi- ble. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each worship service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf. org.

Spirituali-Tea to discuss words from MLK Jr. On Monday, Jan. 15, at 6:30 p.m., all are invited to join a group of people who enjoy finding the common grounds in diverse spiritual thoughts and paths. The group’s desire is to trust one’s own path enough to be open to the value of the thoughts and paths of others. The group meets at 875 Seventh St. The topic for Monday’s gathering are the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brother- hood can never become a real- ity. ... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” Bring your thoughts on the subject for open discussion. The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group. For more information, call Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541- 590-0779.
