Sams’ parents came out of Appalachia to try to fi nd a bet- ter life during the Depression. “A lot of what I see in Grace are things that bring truth to me with both my par- ents and the people from that region,” said Sams. Grace and Glorie, written by Tom Ziegler tells the story of an elderly woman living in the deep woods of Appalachia, who has just been released from the hospital as a hopeless case; her doctor said she has two weeks to live. Glorie, with a Harvard MBA, moved to the area when her husband was transferred from New York City. She volunteers as a hos- pice care worker to help Grace face her life’s end. The two-character play is a staged reading with a full set and costumes. Danna Swanenberg plays Glorie. It is her second appear- ance on the Keizer Home- grown stage since she played KEIZERTIMES/Lyndon A. Zaitz Danna Swanenberg (left) and Kimberly Strong rehearse for Grace and Glorie. in Quality of Life last year. Kimberly Strong, making her Keizer debut, plays Grace. “She’s a cantankerous old woman, ornery. I can relate to the character quite well, I took care of my grandmother and mother until the end,” said Strong. Swanenberg said the show has a lot of elements: humor, heart, drama and confl icts. “It deals with universal themes that appeal to many different people, it asks the big questions: what is my pur- pose?,” she said. Grace and Glorie opens Wednesday, Sept. 11, and runs through Saturday, Sept. 14; all performances are at 7 p.m. at Keizer Homegrown Theatre in the Keizer Cultural Center at 980 Chemawa Road N.E. Tickets cost $10; admission is free for those with an Oregon Trail Card. obituaries Submit an obituary through our website at keizertimes.com or send an email to: editor@keizertimes.com Charles Lyle Atkinson James Francis Woodry October 31, 1932-August 23, 2019 April 10, 1941 – Aug. 18, 2019 James Francis Woodry, 78, passed away peacefully in his home Sunday morning, Aug. 18.

COURSER, continued from Page A1 Another issue looming large is economic development, something she wants to tackle in a bigger way with a larger role. “I want to be a voice for small business. I was able to do that on city council, but we have farmers and agriculture businesses that need to be protected,” she said. Courser said that politics are a hostile, and sometimes ugly, space right now, but “I think when people take the time to get to know me, there is a lot of good work to be done.” She also hoped potential constituents would take the time to engage with her even if they don’t agree with her on every single point in her platform. She encouraged those with questions to reach out on her Facebook page or through her campaign website, amyfororegon.com. Courser lives in Keizer with her husband, Jon. She has two sons Ryan and Zachary Ripp. FOLLOW THE KEIZERTIMES ON: Doyle retired from Boise Cascade in 2007.
