of a street to avoid trouble or making a 180-degree turn when
you feel you’re heading in the wrong direction.”

KHT’s 2-women play has all
the elements of a good show
John Sams decided to di-
rect Grace and Glorie at Keiz-
er Homegrown Theatre for
two reasons: it speaks to him
personally because he knows
the character of Grace well
and because the play is so well
written it can transition from
stage to screen easily.
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

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.

April 10, 1941 – Aug. 18, 2019
James Francis Woodry, 78,
passed away peacefully in his
home Sunday morning, Aug.
18.
He was born April 10, 1941,
in Salem, Ore., the son of
Glenn and Yvonne Woodry.
Jim Graduated from South
Salem High School Class of
1959
Jim was a generous soul,
loving father and husband, lov-
ing friend and a very successful
businessman in his community.
Jim will be remembered for his
love of family, love of friends,
love of the wonderful world
around him, fun parties, and
his wonderful sense of humor.
He is survived by his three
sons – Bob, Ed, Scott – and
their mother, Beverly; four
grandchildren: Riley, Mitch-
el, Robert and Carlo; his love
and “Sweetie” Faye Futrell; and

celebrated their 60th wedding
anniversary on Sept. 4 with
family. They were married in
Vancouver, Wash., and settled
in Keizer to raise their chil-
dren.
COURSER,

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.

New volunteers seated
The Keizer City Council
rounded out appointments to

Shannon Flowers were appoint-
ed to the City Charter Review
Committee that already includ-
ed Broderick Pack, Garry Wha-
len, Pat Fisher, Kathy Lincoln,
and Rick Kuehn. The council

the committee. The remaining
two slots will be fi lled by city
councilors.

pointed to Position #2 on the
