Mathews, Tribune News Service — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — PHOTO BY CHLOE GOLD Lauren Taylor practiced her newly acquired mandolin skills. MANDOLIN: Program is part of Sisters Folk Festival outreach Continued from page 3 resources, the students took turns playing chords in the key of G and teaching each other. Within five minutes, each student was capable of playing a song on mandolin as they could all play I-IV-V in the key of G 4 or the chords G, C, and D. A freshman in the pro- gram, Lauren Taylor, was grateful for the day9s lesson as she had <played a little bit of mandolin in the past but had never really had the opportunity to really sit down with one and play sim- ple chord progressions.= Following the success of each student in playing the simple chords on mandolin, Remington told the class that Sisters Folk Festival would be donating the mandolins that students had used that day to the class, as soon as they had had a few repairs. He then showed the class a few listening examples, including one where Evan J. Marshall played the <William Tell Overture Finale= on mandolin. In addition to his mando- lin lesson, Remington offered the students advice on how to be better musicians. He offered up advice on prac- ticing their instruments, suggesting that, <When you practice you should prac- tice in half-hour segments. Do five minutes of sight reading, 10-15 minutes of technique, 10-15 on new material, and 10-15 minutes just playing what you already know and what you9d like to perform.= He also suggested that students <take a song and learn it on every instrument you play, so you can connect the music inside to the music you play.= This Week’s Crossword Sponsors Crews removing hazard trees at hatchery Crews at Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery are cutting down hazardous trees in a project set to run through February 21. Public access is restricted to the main parking lot during this time. Winter storms damaged some trees at Wizard Falls hatchery that need to be removed to prevent structural damage to the facility or seri- ous injury to staff or visitors. Anglers and hikers who wish to park at the hatchery may do so but cannot access the facility grounds due to safety concerns during tree removal. Hiking trails nearby remain open. ODFW will conduct yearly maintenance of trees on the hatchery grounds dur- ing winter months, which will have the least impact on visitors because it is a slower time of year for visitation.
