The Power of Music

“When it comes to drug use, Oregon holds an ugly distinction: its rate of teenagers killed by overdose is growing faster than in any other state.” This is the shocking first sentence from the March 7 Lund Report. A major killer is the drug fentanyl, of which most teens have little knowledge. For teens who do make their way into the health system, youth addition treatment services in Oregon are just about non-existent. Read the entire report if you have the stomach for it—it’s not good news. www.thelundreport.org/content/state-inaction-left-oregon-teens-vulnerable-fentanyls-fatal-spread

Underneath Oregon’s teen drug statistics is a mental health crisis: an ever greater number of young people are struggling with anxiety and depression. These mental health issues are affecting kids from all walks of life–city kids, rural kids, kids on the street, kids from more traditional homes. And teens can turn to drugs as a way to escape those demons. That’s where music comes in, because music can offer another safe way to connect, de-stress and be uplifted. Music can provide people young and old with a healthy way to relate and process what they are experiencing in their lives.

“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) best-selling author and professor of neurology at NYU School Of Medicine

Author and historian Annelise Heinz will be at the library 2 p.m. Saturday, March 25. Heinz will discuss her nonfiction novel, “Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture.”
This is a hybrid event; attend the talk at 131 N Hemlock St. in Cannon Beach or livestream the event: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org. Come early for the best seats.
In her talk, Heinz explores the American history of the Chinese parlor game mahjong. She charts a complex cultural journey as the game’s history connects American expatriates in Shanghai, Jazz Age white Americans, urban Chinese Americans in the 1930s, Jewish American suburban mothers, and Air Force officers’ wives in the postwar era.
Her talk follows the history of one game to think about how, in their daily lives, individuals create and experience cultural change.
Her work has been featured by National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal, TIME.com, and South China Morning Post, among others. Mahjong won the Pacific Coast Branch Award for the best first book in any historical subject and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in Nonfiction.
Annelise Heinz is a historian at the University of Oregon. She has lived and played mahjong in the United States and Southwestern China.
