Commander Bill Anttila and
VFW Vice Commander Earl
Schroeder conducted a semi-
nar on United States Flag
etiquette and 13 fold United
States Flag program at the
Cloverdale Heart Of Oregon/
YouthBuild Americorps
School.
Bill And Earl were
greeted warmly by the stu-
dents and staff — Kara
Johnson, Amanda Jamison,
and Jen Binks — and were
impressed with how inter-
ested and respectful the stu-
dents were during the presen-
tation. It was indeed VFW’s
honor to present this program
to the school.

I just had to write a HUGE
thank-you to the lovely ladies
that came into our store to do
their Christmas shopping the
other day. They were local,
and let us know they had
committed to shopping only
Sisters for all their Christmas
gifts this year. They had
bags from Bedouin, Paulina
Springs, Old West Antiques,
and left here with a few
choice pieces of jewelry, a
wooden box, and two tile
trivets.
After all the challeng-
ing weather and long days
behind the retail desk it is
so heartening to know that

the Sisters community really
does support their artists,
craftspeople, and small mer-
chants during this holiday
season. The artisans here at
Studio Redfield recognize
the extra effort it might take
and are truly impressed!

In this season of grati-
tude, I’d like to thank the
friends and families of
Sisters Christian Academy.
Last Thursday, we had our
annual Christmas program, a
musical called “The Not-So-
Silent Night,” directed and
produced by our incredible
music teacher, Erik Himbert.
Students jumped into their
roles with zest and skill
while parents and grandpar-
ents applauded with warm
enthusiasm.

Our host, Sisters
Community Church, gener-
ously allowed us to enjoy a
fun-filled evening using their
facility. It was definitely a
night to remember! Thank
you all for your performances
and your loving support.
Organic options are much
more affordable and available.
For me, it feels like a matter of
life or death.
As I continue to look at
causes of my cancer (it was
not genetic) I have to face the
fact that being overweight con-
tributed to my disease. Having
had an estrogen-fed form of
breast cancer, I have learned
that fat produces estrogen. So
the more fat I carry around on
my body the more estrogen I
produce. Even with the drug I
take to block estrogen recep-
tors, my fat keeps storing tox-
ins and making estrogen.
For me fat is a double-
edged sword, along with the
health implications, it also
13
represents the emotions I stuff
through emotional-eating.
When I am able to face myself
in the mirror, I see those extra
pounds as stagnate emotions
I haven’t dealt with yet. They
are a daily reminder of what I
haven’t tackled in my life.
The plan is to create a new
song in my head that promotes
a healthier mind and body. I
know that old record is still
in the jukebox waiting for me
to slip up and let it drop back
onto the turntable. My reasons
for staying alive motivate and
guide me through the day so
that doesn’t happen.
There are also walking
examples around me of people
who have mastered their eat-
ing habits. They are my mod-
els of how to move through the
world both awake and aware
of my actions. We all have our
stuff we’re working on.
