<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">‘Words That Burn’, a multi-cultural presentation, will bring to life the words of three distinct views of World War II beginning at 8 p.m., Sept. 25-28,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">This dramatic work juxtaposes the history and perspectives of three World War II figures -- conscientious objector William Stafford, Japanese-American
internee Lawson Inada, and Chicano Marine Guy Gabaldón -- through a blend of poetry and monologue written in their own words. Commemorating the William Stafford Centennial, Hispanic Heritage Month, and the rescindment of Executive Order 9066 (Japanese-American
internment), the intent of ‘Words That Burn’, according to playwright Cindy Williams Gutiérrez, is “reconciliation, to hold multiple points of view and generate community dialogue that spans politics, cultures, and generations.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker City. “High Desert Dreams: The Lost Homesteads of the Fort Rock Basin” by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be on view at the Interpretive Center's Flagstaff Gallery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif; background: white;">Bergeman spent several weeks exploring the Fort Rock and Christmas Lake valleys while an artist in residence at Playa on Summer Lake. With the help of some
long-time residents and old maps, he created a photographic journey back in time through his images of abandoned homesteads, disappeared town sites, geologic features and remnants of that mostly-forgotten chapter in Oregon history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

exhibit features more than 30 black-and-white photographs, maps and accompanying text that tell the story of the early 20th century land rush that brought hundreds of pioneers to the Fort Rock and Christmas Lake valleys between 1908 and 1915. They arrived
with hopes of carving out a livelihood on their own piece of the western frontier, but their dreams collapsed with the harsh realities of the High Desert climate. By the 1930s the towns had emptied; boarded up schoolhouses and abandoned cabins littered the
landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
