SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 2018 | 5A Memorial Day Observances to be held Monday Memorial Day will be ob- served this year on Monday, May 28. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3232 invites the public to join them at three events being held that day to recognize the sacrifice made by veterans that have per- ished while defending America. At 7 a.m., members of Post 3232 and the VFW Honor Guard will gather at the Pacific Sunset Cemetery to honor Memorial Day. The recognition will con- sist of a ceremonial raising of the flag to the top of the flagpole and then lowered to half-staff as Taps is played. At noon the flag will be raised to full staff. At 8 a.m. the group will be placing white crosses and Amer- ican flags at all veteran’s grave sites. The public is invited to help with this annual honoring. At 1 p.m., Memorial Day ser- vices will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Park in Old Town. United States Coast Guard Station Siuslaw River will be par- ticipating in the ceremonies hon- oring those that have perished defending freedom by placing memorial wreaths on the Siuslaw River at this time. Floral wreaths may be placed at the park prior to the service for proper laying of the wreath by the Coast Guard. Beachcomber Days returning to Waldport Get ready for Beachcomber Days 2018, in downtown Wald- port, Ore., from June 15-17. This year’s three-day festi- val will include new events, in- cluding Bed Races, a pie-eating contest, slug races and a frozen T-shirt contest. More than 25 vendors will be on site throughout the weekend, offering everything from foods and sweet treats to arts and crafts, jewelry, clothing and more. Waldport Beachcomber Days is a nonprofit organization. The event raises funds by selling raffle tickets for treasure chests prizes, sponsorship advertising for local businesses as well as generous donations from com- munity members and long-time residents. This event has historically awarded scholarships to high school juniors and seniors. Come show community sup- port and local scholarships. For more information, visit www.beachcomberdays.com. Correction In the Siuslaw News story "'Jewel of a Park' To Reopen May 24" in the Saturday, May 19 edi- tion, it was stated that the park was "acquired" by the city, im- plying the park came under the city's ownership; the park was technically annexed, meaning Lane County still owns the park and is responsible for running and maintaining it. Also, for those who would like to donate to the park's pro- gram, checks should be made to "Friends of Harbor Vista Park," not Mike Allen. Siuslaw News regrets any con- fusion. Library Tidings Book Review of night. Then, random pages torn from Tommy’s journals begin to mysteriously appear — entries that reveal an introverted teenage obsessed with the phantasmagoric; the loss of his father, killed in a drunk-driving ac- cident a decade earlier; a folktale involving the devil and the woods of Borderland; the coming zombie “pocketclips”; and a horrif- ic incident that Tommy believed connected them all. As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more ominous and sinister, no one is pre- pared for the shocking truth about that night at Devil’s Rock. Paul Tremblay blends literary fiction, psy- chological suspense, and supernatural hor- ror into an absorbing tale that illuminates a parent’s darkest fears … and an adolescent’s darkest secrets. Eerie, thought-provoking, and soul-shat- tering,“Disappearance at Devil’s Rock” will haunt you long after Tommy’s final journey entry is read. “Disappearance at Devil’s Rock” By Paul Tremblay “Disappearance at Devil’s Rock” is the latest from best-selling author Paul Trem- blay, whose previous novel “A Head Full of Ghosts” received critical acclaim. Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sand- erson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her 13-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished without a trace in the woods of a nearby state park. The search isn’t yielding any answers, and Elizabeth and her 11-year-old daugh- ter, Kate, struggle to comprehend Tommy’s disappearance. Feeling helpless and alone, their sorrow is compounded by anger and frustration. Neither the state nor local police have un- covered any leads. Josh and Luis, the friends who were the last to see Tommy before he vanished, may not be telling the whole truth about that night in Borderland State Park, when they were supposedly hanging out at a landmark they have remained Devil’s Rock. Living in an all-too-real nightmare, Eliz- abeth is wholly unprepared for the strange Friends of the Library Book Sale series of events that follow. She believes a The Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library wraithlike apparition of Tommy material- will be holding their next book sale on Sat- izes in her bedroom, while Kate and other urday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3, in the li- local residents claim to see a shadowy figure brary’s Bromley Room. peering through their windows in the dead Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, this sale is a good place to pick up some great sum- mer reading at bargain prices. Books for sale come from donations as well as books weeded from the library’s col- lection. And, as always throughout the year, the Friends accept donations of all kinds of books, DVDs, and CDs. Proceeds from the book sale go to sup- port the library. Libraries Rock! Libraries Rock! is the theme of this year’s summer reading program for chil- dren, teens and adults, and the excitement is building. All kind of wonderful programs are planned and a lot of books will be read. Look for additional information in Tid- ings and at the library. Registration will start June 1. Holiday Closure The library will be closed on Monday, May 28, in honor of Memorial Day. The library wishes you all a safe and happy hol- iday. — Kevin K.
