SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2018 | 5A Spirituali-Tea to discuss choice of ‘Eating Meat’ Big Wave winners COURTESY PHOTO The winners of the third annual Big Wave Poetry Slam on June 30 at the Florence Events Center were: first place, Alexander Dang, from Portland, Ore.; second place, Angela Apodaca, from Florence, Ore.; and third place, Dave Perham, from Eugene, Ore. The com- mittee thanks Jorah LaFleur, slam master and host of the Eugene Poetry Slam at Tsunami Books in Eugene for hosting the event. Chris Chandler to look at 30 years on the road at KXCR Summer Celebration Provocative American story- teller Chris Chandler hosts the KXCR Summer Celebration on Sunday July 22, at 7 p.m. at the Florence Unitarian Universal- ist Fellowship. Only a small fraction of Florence’s entertainment seek- ers has experienced the likes of this unique American story- teller’s show. Join with KXCR in celebrat- ing Chandler’s 30 years on the road. Behind Chandler's spoken word riffs on American cul- ture is a sharp eye and a deep love of language. Striking in appearance, sporting a black bowler on his shaved head, he sometime finds himself climb- ing any nearby chair to add Chris Chandler emphasis to a story's riveting conclusion. Chandler, son of a southern preacher, left his home and, instead of pursuing a career in New York theater, he trust- ed his instincts to hit the road to find and tell the stories of America. As any entertainer will attest, it hasn't been easy. For the last 30 years, Chandler has traveled from gig to gig losing his long blond hair but sharpening his craft to deliver a totally unique entertainment experience to audiences. As a special anniversary treat, Chandler will be doing a retrospective of pieces from over the years. The suggested donation is $15 to attend. Doors of the fel- lowship, located at the junction of Highway 101 and Heceta Beach Road, open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. For information call 541 997-2997.

FUUF to look at pivotal patriotism in Philidelphia On Sunday, July 8, from 10 to 11 a.m., at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellow- ship, the Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will lead the worship service. Her timely message is titled: 1776. “Two centuries, four de- cades and two years ago, several dozen men gathered day after day in the heat of summer, debating and strug- gling to understand the best next step for them — and the colonies they represented — to take in response to what seemed to be increasingly un- reasonable demands from the British crown,” Miller said. “It was a pivotal time — and yet even then, there were mo- ments of play.” The public is invited to par- ticipate in this discussion on the problems and processes the country's forefathers went through during those fateful days in Philadelphia. The FUUF fellowship hall, 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road, is wheelchair ac- cessible. 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.
