Sixth graders Tess Balzer, left,
and Estrella Cuevas pass out
candygrams in Tony Rolen’s
class at Hood River Middle
School on March 13, the final
day of school prior to what
was soon learned would be
an extended spring break
for students all over Oregon.
As a fundraiser in February,
the HRMS Booster Club sold
candygrams for $1 apiece,
and this was distribution day.
In this case, someone had
paid for a candygram to ev-
eryone in Rolen’s classroom.

There is resiliency in music.
Instead of listing all of the
cancellations, I’d rather talk
about what our local music
community is up to, and, of
course, try to make you smile
while reading it. Thanks to the
News for running what they
can, in these difficult times. I’d
also like to thank the CDC for
prompting me to wipe down all
18 of my door knobs (including
six bi-fold closet doors) — they
actually do feel a lot cleaner.
The Dalles’ own John Dono-
van, leader of JD and the Fear-
less Few, just released an orig-
leader Craig Wilson says he’s
taking online courses from
bluegrass guitar professional
flatpicker Bryan Sutton. That’s
good, because Sutton has won
a Grammy (2007) and is the re-
cipient of 10 IBMA guitar play-
er of the year awards. Wilson
noted, “It’s a good time now to
reconnect with the community
that plays this style of music.”
Sounds like he’s got his hands
full.
When singer-songwriter Jess
Clemmons isn’t playing music,
she’s a Gorge Garden Girl,
providing lawn-care cleanup
services to area customers. In
a recent post, she said her crew
was busy “sanitizing lawn care
implements and tools” be-
tween jobs. Kudos to the crew
for thinking about that. And
please know I’m absolutely
cringing when I think back to
my childhood, when we “just
threw everything in the shed
without sanitizing anything.”
