Headstone symbology workshop at library 541.997.8202 shorewoodsl.com 1451 Spruce Street, Florence We’ve got you COVERED The Siuslaw Genealogy Society’s July 17 program will educate attendees on the history of cemeteries, including how they got started and how symbolo- gy began with headstones and markers that evolved through time. Documents to assist in understanding vari- ous symbols will be made available on the society’s blog. Those documents will cover “Understanding Cemetery Symbols,” a list of books and videos about cemetery symbols, along with a handout on types of headstones. Members Merilee Mul- vey and Jacquie Beveridge will present the program. Mulvey said that head- stone symbols can provide clues to learning more about elusive ancestors and even help break down “brick walls.” Many symbols have to do with military service, fraternal membership, or religious affiliation. Often those organizations have well documented records. Information will also be shared about resources for proper cleaning of head- stones and products that are safe to use. All are welcome to at- tend, Wednesday, July 17 at 7 p.m. in the Bromley Room at Siuslaw Public Li- brary.

Serving Florence since 1990 875 Hwy 101 • Florence, OR • (541) 997-3466 www.AbelInsuranceAgency.com During the month of July, Florence Regional Arts Al- liance (FRAA) will feature student artist Kenia Pfaff ’s artwork along with ceramic artist Kris DeNoyer. Their creative talents can be viewed at the FRAA Art Center, 120 Maple St., in Old Town, and the public is invited to a reception to meet the artists on July 13, from 3 to 5 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Pfaff, a 16-year-old, home-schooled sopho- more, said, “I am home- schooled by the most pa- tient dad in the world.” Born in El Salvador, Pfaff was adopted by her fam- ily in 2012. She has been painting and drawing for the past seven years and enjoys working with acryl- ics and watercolors. In her spare time, she volunteers with Helping Hands on Fridays, and with the church services at Spruce Point every Sunday. “I am thankful to be able to display my artwork at FRAA, and I hope you en- joy it.” DeNoyer grew up on the Central California coast and has enjoyed doing ce- ramics since she was eight years old. She took ceram- ic classes in high school and college, where she learned wheel-throw- ing, hand-building, sculpt- ing and firing techniques. After moving to Florence with her husband in 2005, she was able, with the help of a contractor, to trans- form a backyard toolshed into a well-equipped ce- ramic studio. “I enjoy creating bright, whimsical ceramic critters. They make me happy, and I enjoy when they make others laugh or when they bring a smile to a child’s face,” said DeNoyer. SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY JULY 13 JULY 14 JULY 15 JULY 16 A series of speed bumps and new road signs will be installed along a quarter-mile stretch of the South Jetty Road, within the Oregon Dunes National Recre- ation Area, to promote safety and traffic flow. Installation is ten- tatively scheduled for Monday, July 15, and will move forward as weather allows. During the installation process, visitors will be able to access South Jetty Road but should expect flaggers and short delays. To ensure safety of all users, the speed bumps are designed to reduce traffic speed near the Goose Pasture OHV Staging Area to approxi- mately 10 mph. Reducing vehicle speed in this area will also allow motorists extra time to complete turns in and out of the Goose Pasture and “Dog Pond” recreation sites. For more informa- tion, contact the Oregon Dunes Visitor Center at 541-271-3611 or check online for current condi- tions at www.fs.usda.gov/ recmain/siuslaw/recre- ation.
