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.

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.

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/

ation.
