Recently deceased Sisters-area veterans’ names have been added. Veterans to honor those who have passed Local veterans organiza- tions will honor Sisters vet- erans who have died over the past year in an observance on Saturday, August 17, at noon at Village Green Park. The names of the veterans are placed on a memorial at the park. <We installed 22 new names to this memorial for the year 2019,= said American Legion Post Commander Lance Trowbridge. <These are veterans who lived here in Sisters and have passed on.= There will be a prayer given in remembrance of these veterans, and the names of the veterans will be read out loud. <I would like to meet some of the family mem- bers and learn the story of their life,= said Trowbridge. <I would put it in a special file of the American Legion Post 86.= Church to offer class in Biblical Greek Local retired pastor, for- mer college and seminary professor Gary Radmacher will teach a course in begin- ning Biblical Greek on Thursday evenings, 7 to 8:30 p.m. starting September 12 at Sisters Community Church. This weekly class is free and open to the public. The class is designed for those who would like to dig a little deeper into scripture or use some particular study tools yet feel hindered by lack of knowledge of Biblical languages. <Gaining an elementary knowledge of Biblical Greek will open some doors to study of the New Testament that otherwise remain closed. You won9t be able to translate the Bible, but you will learn the alphabet, the basic language structure, and the funda- mental Greek vocabulary of critical interpretation,= said Radmacher, who has taught this course, as well as first- and second-year Greek at advanced levels and has used Greek in ministry for nearly 40 years. The textbook required for this class, <Do It Yourself Hebrew and Greek,= is available through Paulina Springs (541-549-0866) or new and used on Amazon. com. Edward W. Goodrick, a longtime professor at what is now Multnomah University in Portland, is author of the text. Students are requested to read the introduction and bring the book to the first class. Prospective students may register or request addi- tional information at www. radmacher.us. S i s t e r s C o m m u n i t y Church is located at 1300 W. McKenzie Hwy. Joel Miller of Sisters played left tackle in the annual Oregon Shriners East West Football Game on August 3. The 67-year-old event is an all-star game and a fund- raiser for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Participation in the game is a high honor for young athletes. Roy Gannon and Abbey Busick also participated as senior cheerleaders. <I was actually an alter- nate in the beginning and got a call to come down,= Miller told The Nugget. Miller played on the West team, which won the contest 43-10. The week leading up to the game was filled with practices and other team- building athletic activities from volleyball to kickball. The athletes also visited the Shriners Hospital. <It was a cool experi- ence,= Miller said. <I became pretty good friends with peo- ple who were in our league.= Busick said, <I9d say that the Shriners was by far the best cheerleading experience I9ve ever had, and I was so honored and thankful to have been a part of something so amazing. And Roy would say she loved being able to cheer for such an amazing organi- zation with everyone rooting for the same cause, win or lose.= The 18-year-old 2019 Sisters High School gradu- ate departed last weekend for College of the Siskiyous, where he will play football this fall. He played defensive tackle and right guard for the Outlaws, and he anticipates playing on the defensive line in college.
