‘Murder’ planned by theater veterans
The dozen veteran actors
from Wallowa County who
will present Mid Valley The-
atre’s November production
of “A Murder is Announced”
were in rehearsal last week,
learning the blocking and
getting “off book” with their
lines.
The play, an Agatha Chris-
tie favorite, can be set in any
time period and will be set in
England in the ‘40s for this
production.
“I chose that time period
because it was after the war
and things were just getting
back to normal, so the group
will be able to have tea and
other treats (as is called for in
the play),” said Director Kate
Loftus.
The Theatre Company also
has all of the costumes for the
time period.
The play features several
murders and a plot twist as
Agatha Christie’s famous Miss
Marple works out the details
until the reveal.
Players are Gwen Menton
as Miss Marple; Stuart Ven-
cill as Inspector Craddock;
Stephen Kliewer as Sgt. Mel-
lors; Jennifer Hobbs as Leti-
tia Blacklock; Jeff Fields as
Edmund Swettenham; Ame
Leggett as Mrs. Clara Swet-
tenham; Anna Moholt as Julia
Simmons; Sebastian Hobbs as
Patrick Simmons; Carol Ven-
cill as Dora “Bunny” Bunner;
Paige Lattin as Pillipa Hay-
mes; Andy Martin as Mitzi
Horacheck; and Harold Black
as Rudi Sherz.
David Cook is technical
director, Ingrid Cook is stage
manager, Lyn Westhoff is sce-
nic designer and Kate Loftus
directs. Stage hands are Ada-
lyn Deal, Bryce Leggett, Elea-
nor Perry, Kristen Ruckdashel
and Cami Word.

Swanson serving residence at clinic
Swanson
Dr. Dallas Swanson, a res-
ident with Oregon Health Sci-
ences University’s Cascade East
campus in Klamath Falls, will be
serving at Mountain View Medi-
cal Clinic Oct. 25 to Nov. 26 as
part of the OHSU Rural Resi-
dency Program.
Dr. Swanson has ties to Wal-
lowa County, having lived here as
a child before his family moved
to Sandy, where he graduated
from high school. He received his
undergraduate degree in chemis-
try from Western Oregon Univer-
sity, worked in public health in
Oaxaca, Mexico, and then spent
three years working at the Port-
land Veterans Administration
Medical Center before enrolling
in medical school at OHSU.
During medical school Dr.
Swanson spent a year in Peru on
a Fulbright-Fogarty scholarship,
where he studied pork tapeworms
that cause epilepsy.
“I like family medicine
because it gives me the opportu-
A5
October 25, 2017
nity to build relationships with
people and a community over
many years,” he said.
When not practicing medi-
cine, Swanson enjoys the out-
doors, basketball and helping his
wife Katie, a former high school
Spanish teacher who is now a
full-time vegetable farmer.
Dr. Swanson joins two for-
mer Cascade East residents at
Mountain View Medical Clinic,
Dr. Kirsten Caine and Dr. Emily
Sheahan.
4H Radio
Auction
brings in
$12,500
this year
The Annual 4-H Radio
Auction brought in approx-
imately $12,500, up a little
from last year according to
OSU 4H Youth leader Deb
Warnock.
“We’re extremely
thankful for both dona-
tions and bidders,” said
Warnock. “We probably
had about 20 volunteers
the day of the sale. This is
pretty much what we run
on all year.”
Eileen Williams of
Enterprise chaired the
group this year.
“The fun thing about
the radio auction is that
there’s something for
everyone, Warnock said.
“My favorites are always
the things that kids them-
selves make or bake.”
Although they receive a
bit of county support, OSU
Extension Service does
not support 4H fi nancially,
though Warnock’s wages
are paid. 4H is a volunteer
organization and 4H stu-
dents go out to get pledges
to help pay their way to
events.
The money is used to
purchase items needed for
programs (such as archery
targets), facility rents,
insurance on all 4H mem-
bers, and travel expenses
for state fair or national
events.
creek that snakes around
the left side and across the
front of the green swal-
lows any ball that winds up
short.
The OB on the right adds
two strokes to your score if
you miss the green by even
a few feet on that side. And
since the reconfi guration
of the green, which is now
an assortment of humps,
ridges and swales that mys-
teriously unite fi ve pla-
teaus, there is no guarantee
that even an approach shot
that lands on the green will
not bound into the hazard
area just fi ve yards behind
the green.
Then again, even if your
pitch shot does stay on the
green, good luck avoiding
a three-putt on that mad
scientist’s, roller-coaster
surface.
Respectfully, I offer
several suggestions to the
board of directors and the
greenskeepers of Alpine
Meadows with the aim of
making 7 more fair.
Improve and water the
fairway in front of the creek
to make that area more
receptive to layup shots.
Let the fringe grow a lit-
tle more to the right of and
behind the green so that
shots that land on the green
are less likely to roll out
of bounds or into the back
hazard.
Border the area along
the outskirts of the right
fringe with railroad ties or
a short stone wall so that
shots that land on the green
cannot easily bounce OB.
(As an avid viewer of
pro golf on television, I can
never recall seeing any hole
with an OB area so close
to a green on any other
course.)
Weed-eat and groom an
additional fi ve yards behind
the green to increase the
fringe area in front of the
back hazard.
I would personally vol-
unteer my labor to install
the railroad ties or to
remove stones. It would be
well worth the heartache
and strokes that I would
eventually save.

Colossal natural disasters are common events in the high
Andes where Enterprise photographer David Jensen has
twice traveled to climb mountains and take pictures.
Based on his experience and research, his presentation
focuses on the most appalling natural disaster ever to hit
the Western Hemisphere and explores the Darwinian
implications of Peru’s violent natural history and the
cultural impact globally of Darwin’s big idea.
