V IELMA — R IOJAS
Caleb Joe Vielma married Silvia Yesenia Riojas Thursday,
June 1, in John Day. The couple resides in Prairie City. The
groom, 28, is the son of Jose G. Vielma Jr. and Theresa Arias.
The bride, 25, is the daughter of Roman Victorio Riojas and
Teresa Riojas.
It was as if the Grant
Union Junior-Senior High
School bleachers were the-
ater seats May 23 as Grant
Union and Humbolt Elemen-
tary musicians in grades 6
through 12 presented the “A
Night at the Movies!” con-
cert.
The familiar music in-
cluded songs from movies
such as “The Little Mer-
maid,” “Mary Poppins,” “Ju-
rassic Park,” “Harry Potter”
and “Phantom of the Opera.”
Director Lori Hart said
even though she selected the
music, the students helped it
come alive with their effort
and enthusiasm.
“I loved the concert,”
Hart said. “I was so proud of
the kids and their work.”
Hart, who led about 90
students in the spring con-
cert, started teaching mu-
sic at Grant School District
No. 3 in January.
“This school year must
have been hard on the stu-
dents, getting a brand new
teacher mid-year, but they
have all been fantastic to
work with,” she said. “I
have loved being able to
teach and learn from them
every day.”
Four seniors were hon-
ored during the concert,
including four-year mem-
bers of the music program
Rose Allen (clarinet),
James Mabe (tenor) and
Shiranne Carter (sopra-
no), and one-year member
foreign exchange student

“The students at Hum-
bolt and Grant Union are a
special group of kids, and
I am honored to be able
to teach them,” Hart said.

A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
