Commentary...
By Kema Clark
Columnist
The Episcopal Church of
the Transfiguration was full of
excitement this year to share
the 25th Anniversary of the
Country Fair and Art Show.
With sadness, organizers
announced that the celebra-
tion will be postponed until
2021.
<As we discussed what our
options might be, we were
acutely aware of those in our
community who have lov-
ingly supported this event,=
the organizers stated in a
release. <The talented artists,
the wonderful restaurants, the
small businesses we all love,
and the many individuals who
gave time, talent, and funds.
We are so grateful for their
support and we will feel the
loss of working closely with
them this year!=
All funds earned during
this event, over $274,000
since 2001, have been
returned every year to the
organizations who support
children and families with
needs.
<We plan to make a strong
effort to gather funds through
contributions and to continue
to provide as much support as
we can to these organizations
who are more important than
ever to Sisters Country,= the
fair organizers said.
To contribute to the local
outreach program, send a
check to Country Fair, PO
Box 130, Sisters, OR 97759.
Books, movies and music
are three of the best ways to
relax, laugh and lose your
worries for a while.
Bill Bryson is an author
who can start your adventure.
<A Walk in the Woods=
will take you along the
Appalachian Trail from
Georgia to Maine. You can
travel by eBook, audiobook
or video. <The Road to Little
Dribbling= will give you a
great tour of England and
have you laughing most of
the way. <A Short History
of Nearly Everything= gives
you just that 4 a little of
everything.
Jon Krakauer is an author
who writes true crime to
mountain adventures. <Eiger
Dreams: Ventures Among
Men and Mountains= is
a collection of awesome
stories. <Where Men Win
Glory, The Odyssey of Pat
Tillman= follows a journey
from the NFL, to the U.S.
Army, to Afghanistan.
The kids and teens can
get their favorite books and
movies, too. I9m sure their
teachers and fellow students
will give them plenty of
suggestions. Download the
audiobooks, then have your
kids get on the phone with
a few friends and listen to it
together. It will be so much
fun to hear them laughing
and talking like they9re in the
same room hanging out.
Go to https://www.
deschuteslibrary.org/about/
news/news?NewsID=8273
to get info on what9s avail-
able. Most of the books will
have an eBook and audio-
book edition. You9ll also be
able to choose TV series or
movies, if the books have
one.
If you have a specific
book, movie or TV show
you9d like to have added, you
can click on <Books, Movies,
Music= in the top line, then
select <Suggest a Purchase.=
Add the info requested and
the library team will let
you know if they can get it.
When all else fails, play
some music and dance
around the room. My fam-
ily brought me a new friend,
<Alexa= a couple of years
ago. I love being able to
say <Alexa, play some Keb9
Mo.9= In seconds <A Better
Man= fires up. Of course,
sometimes she doesn9t
understand Southern. I asked
her to play songs by <Larkin
Poe= and she told me <I can9t
find songs by Lacking Pope.=
Ending with a quote I read
in a Louis L9Amour book.
He didn9t claim to be the one
who first came up with it,
but that9s where I saw it first:
<Immortality lies not in
the things you leave behind,
but in the people your life
has touched.=
Right now 4 try to touch
people9s life in a way that
makes the people who know
you feel better. You will be
loved and remembered.
