“Baby of the Family”
by Maura Roosevelt
FEATURED HOME OF THE WEEK
1649 23rd Street
Meet the Whitbys: an American
dynasty once inundated with ungod-
ly real estate wealth and now facing a
new millennium of unfamiliar obsta-
cles. There was a time when the death
of a Whitby would have made national
news, but when the family patriarch,
Roger, dies, he is alone.
Word of his death travels from the
long-suffering family lawyer to Rog-
er’s clan of children (from four differ-
ent marriages), and the outlook isn’t
good. Roger has left everything to his
21-year-old son Nick, a Whitby only
in name — and Nick is nowhere to be
found.
Brooke, an older daughter who is
both overwhelmingly nostalgic and
unexpectedly pregnant, leads the
search for Nick, hoping to convince
him to let her keep her Boston home.
Shelley, the only child from the third
marriage, hasn’t told anyone that she’s
dropped out of college just months
before graduation and is currently
working as an amanuensis for a blind
architect, with whom she crosses com-
plicated boundaries.
And when Nick, on the run from
the law after a misguided act of politi-
cal activism, finally appears at Shelley’s
New York home, worlds collide and
explode in spectacular fashion. Soon,
the three siblings are faced with the
question they have been running from
their whole lives: What do they want
their future to look like, if they can fi-
nally escape their past?
Weaving together multiple perspec-
tives to create a portrait of the Amer-
ican dream gone awry, “Baby of the
Family” is a vivid, absorbing debut
about family secrets and how they de-
fine us, bind us together, and threaten
to blow us apart.
senting “Under A Starry Sky — Tales
of the Moon, the Sun and the Stars,”
in which the audience will explore the
great beyond through the ancient art
of storytelling.
Together through active listening
and imaging the attendees will co-cre-
ate stories of the cosmos, of the shining
and infinite big beyond. This program
is free and open to the general public
and will run about an hour.
Ruth Davis: Heart Sparks
Workshop
On Thursday, Sept. 5, from 1 to 3
p.m., author Ruth Davis will be lead-
ing a workshop entitled “Heart Sparks:
7 Practices for Loving Your Life.”
With all of the expectations, obli-
gations, and busyness in our lives, it’s
easy to forget that, as humans, we also
need to feel ease and joy. Join Davis for
some fun and interactive exercises and
practices to help cope with and rise
above the challenges of daily life.
She is an author, speaker, and per-
sonal coach, helping people find more
joy and meaning in their lives. Her
workshops and retreats combine prac-
tical coaching techniques with creativ-
ity and play, to spark her clients’ deep-
est passions, resistances, and dreams.
While this program is free to the
general public, preregistration is re-
quired, as only 15 participants can be
accommodated.

Ecology in Classrooms
and Outdoors (ECO),
based in Portland and with
operations in Lane County,
is now in its second year of
providing place-based ed-
ucation to students at Siu-
slaw and Mapleton elemen-
tary schools. This program
takes over the field trip se-
ries that Jim Grano began
as a teacher.
In September, ECO is
having its annual fundrais-
er and there is a chance for
people all across Oregon to
participate through a raffle.
On Sunday, Sept. 8, ECO
is hosting the third annu-
al Garden Party, its largest
fundraising event of the
year. It takes place in Port-
land, but funds raised will
be used to support pro-
gramming both in Portland
metro area and in Lane
County.
This year, ECO received
a donation of a Burley bike
trailer and jogger attach-
ment kit worth over $1,000.
ECO plans to raffle off the
item to the public using so-
cial media platforms and
live-stream the drawing
at the event, so that ticket
holders have a chance to
win the prize even if they
can’t attend the event in
person. Raffle tickets are
$5 each, $20 for five tickets,
$50 for 15 tickets and $100
for 75 tickets.
“The raffle prize was
donated by Burley, a Eu-
gene-based company that
designs high quality bike
accessories,” said Amelia
Remington, ECO’s Lane
County and Coast Pro-
gram Manager. “There will
be a second-place prize
of a pair of Keen shoes (a
Portland-based shoe com-
pany).”
Raffle tickets are on sale
until 5 p.m. on Sept. 6.
Winners will be announced
at the Garden Party on Sept.
8. To watch the raffle draw-
ing live, follow and tune in
