6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL February 10, 2016
Fifteenth R&B Revue
to feature new director
Gabe Dickinson to take over for 10-year
veteran David Larsen
T
he fi fteenth installment
of Cottage Grove High
School’s annual Rhythm and
Blues Revue, which helps raise
money for the school’s music
camps and competitions, will
bring changes even as it brings
the rhythm and blues.
Last summer, David Larsen,
who led award-winning music
programs at CGHS including
the R&B Revue for 10 years,
announced his departure to
become the Director of Instru-
mental Studies at Spokane Falls
Community College.
“We were very fortunate that
David was available to begin
teaching,” said CGHS theatre
director Janet Rust, who worked
with Larsen during his entire
tenure at the high school. “In ad-
dition to the music department,
he’s been invaluable to the the-
ater, and he’s helped with music
and sound at many events. He
will be missed.”
This year, the high school’s
new music director, Gabe Dick-
inson, steps in to take the reins
for the Revue, which runs Thurs-
day, Feb. 18 through Saturday,
Feb. 20 at Cottage Theatre. The
event aims to raise the approxi-
mate $8000 that the school’s
music program requires for
camps and contests.
Renowned vocalist Maeve
Dahlen will open the show with
“Dancing in the Street.” The jazz
band will offer a rendition of
“Groovin’ Easy,” “Puffy Taco,”
and the Cab Calloway classic
“Minnie the Moocher.” A jazz
combo featuring select students
including Matthew Goes and lo-
cal adult musicians Chris Klein
on guitar, Keri Davis on piano,
Alistair Gardner and Jared Alls
on drums, Liam Onaitis on bass
and a full horn section of recent
graduates. Local favorites Joan-
na Newton, Laurie Hammond,
Teresa Martindale and Shelley
Dill will also offer their talents.

Extension recruiting food preserver volunteers
OSU Extension Service – Lane County
is accepting applications for the 2016 Mas-
ter Food Preserver Volunteer Training Pro-
gram. The program trains and certifi es vol-
unteers in all areas of food safety and food
preservation. The volunteers selected into
the program receive a minimum of 40 hours
of training in food preservation, safety and
food storage. Volunteers joining the program
are required to volunteer a minimum of 70
hours to the OSU Extension Service – Lane
County in the year following the training.
The cost of the eight-week training pro-
gram is $175 which includes the training,
supplies, and a resource notebook. The new
volunteers will join a cadre of volunteers
who serve as a local resource for up-to-date
food preservation/safety information. Vol-
unteer activities include staffi ng the summer
statewide food preservation/safety hotline,
assist with public classes, testing pressure
canner gauges, and staffi ng information
booths at local fairs, farmers markets and
community events. Volunteers also have the
option of becoming a food pantry volunteer
with the Nutrition Education Program.
Workshop aims to
educate regarding
immigration programs
O
ur Lady of Perpetual Help
Catholic Church in Cottage
Grove will be the site of a work-
shop scheduled Tuesday, Feb. 16
that aims to reach out to the area’s
Latino population with informa-
tion on immigration programs that
could affect them.
Beatriz Hernandez, leader of the
Immigration Education Program
through Centro Latino Americano
in Eugene, said the workshop,
which is free and runs from 6:30-
8 p.m., aims to answer questions
about the state of executive orders
including two programs that af-
fect many immigrants, in addition
to types of visas, labor rights and
prevention of fraud.
Much of the presentation will
concern two programs, Hernan-
dez said: DACA, or Deferred Ac-
tion for Childhood Arrivals, which
concerns children brought to
the United States that have often
grown up here but lack citizenship
documentation, and DAPA, or De-
ferred Action for Parents of Amer-
icans, which concerns parents of
children who are U.S. citizens but
who do not have documentation
themselves. Efforts are under-
way to try to extend the DACA
program, Hernandez said, and in
June, it will be known whether the
DAPA program, which President
Obama announced in November
of 2014, will be implemented after
a case fi led in Texas in December
of 2014 is heard by the Supreme
Court.
Hernandez said that Centro La-
tino Americano has already con-
ducted workshops in Springfi eld
and Junction City to spread the
word about these two programs.
She said lawyers will be on hand
to answer questions, adding that
the workshop is meant to offer a
“safe place for anybody that has a
question” about immigration.
This year’s classes will be held on Mon-
day’s from 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m., from April 11
through June 6. The classes will be held
at the Community of Christ Church, 1485
Gilham Road in Eugene. More informa-
tion on the program and registration forms
are available on OSU Extension Service
– Lane County website http://extension.
oregonstate.edu/land/announcements/food-
preservation-baking-classes. For additional
information call the Master Food Preserver
message phone 541-344-4885. Deadline for
application is Monday, March 28, 2016.
Light sabers
are focus of new
LCC class
The Lane Community College branch in Cottage
Grove fi nds itself offering instruction in a unique sort
of skill set these days — the use of light sabers.
“From the books and movies of the Star Wars fran-
chise comes an elegant weapon for a more civilized
age,” reads a fl ier prepared by the course’s instructor,
James Kiser, who also co-owns and manages Abraxas
Video downtown, a locale that features its own array of
artistic weaponry. Kiser writes that it’s not necessary to
be a Star Wars fan to appreciate the movies’ signature
weapon.
“High-tech collectibles and performance pieces,
light sabers are used today variously for staged reen-
actments, fencing, martial arts, general exercise, pho-
tography, juggling, cosplay and dance,” he writes, con-
tinuing that his class aims to teach what light sabers
are, how to obtain them and their use.
The class focuses on beginning light-saber spinning
“as a performance/fl ow art similar to fi re or staff spin-
ning,” Kiser wrote, and those who already have their
own light sabers are encouraged to bring them to class.
No previous experience is necessary, and minors are
welcome with a guardian’s permission.
Light-saber spinning classes are held Saturdays from
5-6 p.m. at LCC’s Cottage Grove campus. Information
on the class and registration can be found by calling
541-463-4202 or through Kiser at kiserjlanecc@gmail.
