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.

Bridgeport Market owner Jay Cable has climbed on the public art bandwagon
with a recent purchase from the Tsunami Gallery in Gardiner, Ore. Cable had
noticed the piece in his travels south on Highway 101 for the past 10 years and
had occaisionally stopped in to discuss the price and availability of the golden
girl. Cable plans to hold a contest to name the new statue in front of the market.
FUUF
TO EXPLORE INTENTION
IN LIGHT OF
MLK J R . 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.

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.
