Indian Valley Record Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2Oll 7A Dance series begins "Do-si-do and swing your partnerP' Folks can kick up their heels at contradance classes at the Quincy Grange Hall on the third Saturday of the month February through April. Contradancing has a long tradition from Europe to America. Contradancing us- es a lot of the same moves as square dancing, but the form is different; it is also more popular in the United States than square dancing, with numerous dance series held all over the country, from big cities to little hamlets. Quincy even has its own contradance band, the Post- industrial String Band, which mostly works out of the area. When Leslie Mink, one of the band members, moved here from New England 20 years ago, she organized a con- tradance series. That series ended in the mid-1990s, and is being revived due to popular demand. In a format similar to square dancing, all dances are taught and each move is prompted by a caller. The February dance will feature Mark Goodwin, a seasoned caller from the Chico con- tradance scene. If you've never con- tradanced, don't be shy. It's as easy as walking, but it helps to know your right from your left. Contradanc- ing is loads of fun because the music is great, the dance movements flow rhythmical- ly and you connect with everyone in the room in a dizzying swirl of spins and stomps. Contradances are tradi- tionally alcohol-free events, because the dancers need to be alert -- and it's more fun if you don't fall down from all that spinning! No-host re- freshments will be available. Dances start at 7:30 p.m., and admission is $7. Call 283- 0137 for more information. Grange offers scholarships Grange Insurance Group (GIG) will fund 25 scholar- ships for the 2011-12 school year, totaling more than $26,000.

Childcare will be provid- ed, and weekly classes will begin Thursday, March 10. A special class, titled "Morns Cooking With Their Chil- dren," will be held Saturday, April 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The sixth and final class will be cooking for the com- munity supper Monday, April 25.

The four Thursday classes will be March 10, March 17, March 24 and March 31, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Class size is limited to 15 young morns, so early appli- cation is suggested, and moms are urged to commit themselves to all six classes. The Methodist women are hosting the class to help young moms build confi- dence through cooking.

Regional 4 1 0 I 5 Previous week 14 6 0 ] 20 • Up one week, down the next. The number of earthquakes in Northeastern California declined substantially from the previous week, failing by four times last weeks total and to its lowest level in over a year. The last time only five earth- quakes were recorded in a weeks record- ing period was in November of 2009. This seems to be the general lower limit for earthquake activity as the last time the tally fell below five earthquakes was in July ;)006 and never in the past 15 years has a week has gone by without a quake. Regional earthquake has been produc- ing more single-digit weeks of late, how- ever. In the past three and a half months. there have been four weeks with less than ten quakes. This compares with only one time in the last nine months. Unfortunately, the overall pattern seems to be surge one week and and relax the next, which historically has been a precsription for larger quakes, not only in this part of California but for the planet as a'whole. Remember, patterns are one thing, actual events are another. To advertise and help support this page, please call 258-3115 I Street.
