Women sought for choir, concert to help seniors
ELFERS FROM 6 American adults surveyed in 1979 said premarital sex was wrong. By the 1980s, only 33 to 37 percent thought it was “always” or “almost always wrong.” With the rising U.S. divorce rate in the 1960s and 1970s and the development of The Pill, attitudes about premarital sex changed. Today, premarital sex has become the norm for the majority of the unmarried in America. Additionally, women now earn 60 percent of the college degrees. One of the factors for this
The Allegro Women’s Ensemble is looking for sopranos and altos to become part of the Plateau Women’s Chorale “project choir.” The sole purpose of the project choir is to perform a benefit holiday concert on Dec. 1. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the local Neighbors Feeding Neighbors program. The choir will be directed by Kathee Lundberg and rehearsals will take place Monday evenings, beginning Aug. 19. There also will be one Saturday rehearsal “retreat.” All participants will be responsible for the cost of their participation - an equal share for all to include music, concert advertising, etc. The organizers’ goal is to keep personal expenses at a minimum. In December 2012, Allegro Women’s Ensemble performed a benefit concert for the Neighbors Feeding Neighbors program, specifically for providing hot meals for homebound senior citizens. Enumclaw is one of a very few communities still able to provide hot meals to homebound seniors and last year’s concert, the Allegro Women’s Ensemble raised almost $1,500, enough to feed one homebound senior citizen for nearly a year.
shift change is the development and use of the birth control pill. According to Margaret Wendt in her book, “An Accidental Canadian,” “The pill decoupled sex and marriage, and it also decoupled marriage and procreation. The purpose of marriage was mutual satisfaction, not children, and once that happened, gay marriage probably became inevitable.” In other words, with the development of The Pill in 1960, attitudes about homosexuality changed as well. No wonder approval of the birth control pill in 1960 has become known as “the most significant med-

als, so the more golfers he attracts the more money he makes. Enumclaw takes a certain fixed percentage of this. Bob quickly points out that the city has always been very cooperative and easy to work with. Today, he has 14 people on his staff, most of whom, as you’d presume, manicure the golf course. The maintenance crew is often mowing the lawn at 4 a.m., so the fairways are ready for a 6 a.m. tee time. Bob has leased the café to Kimberly Seymour and Brandi Vanderlaan. He recently purchased and received 200 tons of sand, of which 140 tons were used to aerate the fairways. Drainage has always been a serious issue. Solving this problem involves placating state and federal environment agencies that, understandably, want to protect the fish and salmon runs in Boise Creek, which meanders through the course. To further exacerbate the situation, the creek tends to flood a portion of the grounds every other year or so. Bob’s currently trying to redesign the irrigation system and this fall will tackle the drainage problem around the 18th hole. Eliminating the “swamp” surround the 11th hole – traditionally the second hole until the numerical order was changed – will be the most difficult challenge. Be that as it may, a number of my golfing friends ardently agree that Bob, in a mere five months, has the course looking better than at any other time in the last 10 years. Congratulations are in order!
ical advance of the 20th century” (BBC News). Clearly, the development of The Pill, now 53 years old, has changed attitudes and actions of both women and men. It has changed our culture dramatically. The Pill’s development has fostered a phenomenon that few of us have stopped to consider.
