Inland musicians will share the season in song
Holiday concert set this
weekend in Echo and
in Connell, Washington
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
The annual holiday concert
of the Inland Northwest Musi-
cians features a variety of ensem-
bles playing holiday music, includ-
ing traditional and contemporary
songs.
“The Carols of Christmas”
will be performed Saturday at
Echo Community Center, 20 N.
Bonanza., and Sunday at Connell
High School, 1100 W. Clark Road,
Connell, Washington. Both con-
certs are free of charge, but dona-
tions are accepted. A reception fol-
lows each concert.
Due to the popularity of the
Echo concert and the limited num-
ber of seats, those planning to
attend are encouraged to reserve
tickets by contacting 541-289-
4696 or inwm@machmedia.net.
Salli Ketchersid, publicity coor-
dinator, said those attending the
Connell performance do not have

to make a reservation.
Under the direction of R. Lee
Friese, the program includes pieces
performed by the orchestra, the
chorale and the combined orches-
tra and chorale.
Numbers by the orchestra
include “A Canadian Brass Christ-
mas,” a piece that includes “Ding
Dong Merrily on High,” “I Saw
Three Ships,” “The Huron Carol”
and “Here We Come A-Wassail-
ing.” It’s arranged by Luther Hen-
derson and adapted for orchestral
performances by Calvin Custer.
Giving trees sprout holiday cheer
way store. Jessica Jacobson, Sun Ter-
race community relations director, said
they’ve been spearheading the effort
for about five years. She said it’s a way
people can give back to the community
“It’s always nice to bring joy to their
Christmas as well,” Jacobson said.
“Some of the residents here don’t have
family that live near.”
Jacobson said it could be some-
thing as simple as popcorn or choco-
late. Some residents, she said, would
like new scarves, shirts or hats. In addi-
tion, some of the Sun Terrace residents
have pets and have asked for a sweater
for their dog.
In its third year, an effort to pro-
vide for area animals was spearheaded
by Pendleton Animal Welfare Shelter.
The tree at D&B Supply in Pendleton
even includes tags with photos of cur-
rent cats and dogs at PAWS, said Sara
Hebard-Hinkle, a stove department
sales associate.
A former PAWS board member,
she is thrilled about the effort to help
provide for animals. Everything from
pet food and dog beds to leashes and
blankets are needed. In addition,
Hebard-Hinkle encourages people to
consider volunteering their time.
“The giving trees all have the same
goal,” Markle said.
“We want to make their Christmas
better.”

Area children, senior citizens and
even animals will benefit from the gen-
erosity of people in the community.
A number of giving trees are sprout-
ing up at locations throughout Uma-
tilla and Morrow counties. While
out Christmas shopping, people are
encouraged to consider the opportu-
nity to help brighten the holiday season
for those who might be less fortunate.
A number of businesses and organiza-
tions have set up trees and people can
stop by and choose tags and shop for
requested items.
The Salvation Army Pendleton
Corps sets up several Angel Trees —
including one at Shari’s Cafe & Pies in
Hermiston — in order to receive gifts
for needy children ages 0-14 through-
out the Hermiston and Pendleton areas.
Helen Markle, a volunteer with the
organization, said while The Salvation
Army provides help to people in need
throughout the year, they boost their
efforts around Christmas.
“This is the season of giving,” she
said. “We want to be sure each child
has at least something under the tree.”
Residents of Sun Terrace, an adult
assisted living facility in Hermiston,
will receive gifts through a Senior
Giving Tree at the Hermiston Safe-
Area giving trees
People can enjoy beauti-
ful and creative artwork and

of that, she has supported

she said.
The prices vary, Beitel
said. People can pick up
matted prints from origi-
nal paintings for as little as

inal paintings start at $39,
she said. Original paintings
range from $80 to $399.

own work, other artists who

who makes glasswork jew-
elry; Gayle Weatherson,
who is bringing her gold and
silver jewelry; Linda Phil-
lips, who focuses on western
art with paintings and metal
work; Andrea Murphy, a
western artist who paints;
jewelry by Justa Phillips
and oil paintings with some
abstracts by Ann Bajovich.
“These are one of a kind
works of art, just in time for
Christmas,” Beitel said.

Also on the orchestra’s play
list are “Fantasia on We Three
Kings, “The Bells of Christmas”
and “Concert Suite from The Polar
Express.” The latter should pro-
vide songs that are familiar to chil-
dren from the fantasy adventure
movie released in 2004.
Among the pieces to be per-
formed by the chorale are “Carol
of the Drum,” which became pop-
ular from “The Little Drummer
Boy.” Other songs include “Can-
dlelight Carol,” “Calypso Carol,”
“Fanfare for Christmas Day,”
“Velvet Shoes” and “Sleigh Ride.”
The combined ensembles
will perform “Grinch! A Christ-
mas Carol Medley, which should
appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
It features “Welcome Christmas,”
“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”
“and Perfect Christmas Night.”
