Visitors were treated to free samples of milk- shakes, sandwiches and freshly made pizza from the casino’s new stone oven, which can cook a pizza in under two minutes. The food court, which replaces the World Market Buffet that closed its doors in October, has had a suc- cessful soft open for the past two weeks, but Thursday marked the official grand opening for the casino’s two new fast food offerings: The 101 Burger Bar and Mamma Mia!: A Taste of Italy in Florence. The newly designed meals, all of which can be had for under $10, include pizza, chicken sandwiches, calzones and lasagna. Also included in the food court is a buffet style salad bar, where diners can create their own meals, charged by the pound.

DNA match results con- tinue to fascinate and baffle those who’ve had theirs tested. Whether you’ve completed a test or are contemplating taking one, this meeting will be of as- sistance. People who test their DNA through Ancestry.com receive an ethnicity report and a list of people (matches) with whom they share DNA. Kevin Mittge, who attended a workshop in August led by DNA genealogist CeCe Moore, will focus on the match side of the results, sharing tips that he has learned about under- standing, sorting and using the matches. There is a lot of data available through the Ancestry DNA matches and it can be confus- ing as to how to use it. This pro- gram will seek to answer some of the common questions about DNA matching. “The program will focus on Ancestry only, not other DNA companies, and will not be dealing with the ethnicity side of the results. Others who have tested and have tips and sugges- tions to offer about matches are invited to join in the conversa- tion. All are welcome to attend. Siuslaw Genealogy Soci- ety ordinarily meets the third Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Bromley Room at Siuslaw Pub- lic Library. Additional information is available on the society blog at www.siuslawgenealogy.org.
