‘Piano Bar’ on tap
for theater group
ByKSteveKKadel
Correspondent
Silent Echo Theater
Company members will pres-
ent two nights of musical fun
in December with “Piano
Bar,” an audience-participa-
tion event in which commu-
nity members are invited to
step onstage and sing.
The evenings will be
hosted by Sisters residents
Scout Miller and Rob Merola,
both of whom will display
their vocal talents. Silent Echo
President Marla Manning said
those who attend will see a list
of several songs planned for
the presentation — and they
can take the microphone to
add their voices if they wish.
“The hope is that everyone
will sing,” she said. “They
don’t have to sing alone —
it can be duets or five or six
together.”
“We wanted to set the
audience in cafe style so
it’s comfortable,” added
Silent Echo Treasurer Leslie
Newbold.
“Piano Bar” will stage
at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday,

Nonprofits benefit from Local to sing at Pearl Harbor event
local farm program

Local farm and educa-
tional asset Seed to Table has
provided over 3,000 pounds
of fruits and vegetables to
local nonprofits this year.
Over the course of the past
several months locally and
organically grown produce
has been distributed to the
Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank,
Sisters Westside Church Food
Bank, and Sisters School
District Nutrition Services.
That equates to 200 fami-
lies being provided with
options ranging from fresh
salad greens, carrots, beets,
onions, kale and more on a
weekly basis throughout the
growing season.
Over the course of the next
several weeks Seed to Table’s
Sustainable Agriculture class
at Sisters High School will
harvest and provide bunches
of winter carrots, beets and
salad greens for holiday bas-
kets — all serving families in
need in Sisters Country.
Seed to Table is funded
through grants as well as
selling their produce shares.
Beginning next week, 2017

December 7 will mark
the 75th anniversary of the
Imperial Japanese attack on
the U.S. Navy fleet at Pearl
Harbor — the event that
plunged America into World
War II.
Pam Keeton will be there,
standing shoulder-to-shoul-
der with the 42-voices-strong
Oregon Spirit Chorus, on the
deck of the USS Missouri.
Keeton is one of three women
from Central Oregon who
will sing during an event that
features groups from all 50
states.
Keeton, who sings with
Bella Acapella in Bend,
has been traveling to Salem
since July to rehearse with
the Oregon Spirit Chorus,
a women’s barbershop
chorus in which she sings
bass.
“We’re all going over
on the 5th and will be there
from the 5th through the 9th,”
Keeton told The Nugget.
Her husband, Steve
Keeton, will accompany her
and visit the memorial at
Pearl Harbor.
“Singing on the actual day
of the 7th on the deck of the
Mighty Mo — we’re pretty
excited about that,” Keeton
said.
Many U.S. military
veterans, including survi-
vors of the Pearl Harbor
attack, will be on hand for the
observances.
The Oregon Spirit Choir
will sing several pieces,
including “Battle Hymn of the
Republic,” Happy Together,”
“From A Distance,” “Let
Freedom Ring,” and “The
Star-Spangled Banner.”
Keeton has been singing
with Bella Acapella for about
three years. She was a music
major in college and has been
a singer her whole life. The
trip to Pearl Harbor marks a
highlight of her life in music.
“I feel so honored,” she
said. “I get goosebumps
thinking about it.”
