SUMMARY:TRUNK
DESCRIPTION:TRUNK is a one-man\, interactive production that delves into the mind of a young artist reckoning with his approaching death. Written and performed by Riley Samuel Merritt\, the play draws from over a decade of his personal writings—poetry\, prose\, and eight original songs—to examine the fragile intersections of identity\, ambition\, and connection. \nInspired by the 15th-century morality play Everyman\, TRUNK reimagines the age-old confrontation with mortality through the lens of a flawed\, modern creative. While the narrative is not autobiographical\, Merritt uses his own life as a vessel to explore the universal story of what it means to live truthfully—and die honestly—as an artist. \nAudience participation is central to the show\, making each performance a shared act of reflection and storytelling. Viewers are invited to contribute their voices\, reinforcing TRUNK’s core themes of community and collective memory. \nUltimately\, TRUNK is both a personal unpacking and a public offering—a meditation on legacy\, vulnerability\, and the moral responsibility of the modern artist in a world that often forgets to listen. \nRiley Samuel Merritt is an actor\, writer\, and musician raised in the rugged four corners region. Riley graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in musical theatre\, and has spent his years since training and creating in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico\, having acted in such shows as Little Night Music (Henrik)\, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Charlie Brown)\, Heroes of the Fourth Turning (Kevin)\, Taming of the Shrew (Bianco)\, and many more. Now ready to move to metropolitan Chicago\, Riley is touring “TRUNK”: an original one-man show which celebrates art and humanity through the use of poetry\, song\, and years of cumulative writing.

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
DESCRIPTION:This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice\, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support\, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do\, we release them and maintain our connection to the support. \n“From this practice\, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness\, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed\, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity\, freedom in the face of circumstances\, and ultimately Buddhahood.” \nFrom Meditation for Beginners\, by Bokar Rinpoche. \nTo attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom\, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list. \n

He was born June 5\, 1898\, in Fuente Vaqueros\, Spain. He went to Madrid in 1919\, where he met Salvador Dali\, who would later design the scenery for a production of Lorca’s play. \nDali would later design the scenery for the Barcelona production of Lorca’s play Mariana Pineda (1927). \nLorca’s two most successful poetry collections were Canciones (Songs)\, published in 1927\, and Romancero gitano (the Gypsy Ballads)\, published in 1928. Romancero gitano was especially daring for the time with its exploration of sexual themes and made Lorca a celebrity in the literary world. In the 1930s\, Lorca spent much of his time working on plays\, including a folk drama trilogy Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding) in 1933\, Yerma in 1934\, and La Casa de Bernarda Alba (The House of Bernarda Alba) in 1936. \nDuring the Spanish Civil war he was shot to death by supporters of General Francisco Franco. \nABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Mildred Ruiz-Sapp is an award-winning/critically acclaimed multi-hyphenated Puerto Rican artist and entrepreneur. \nA Theatre professional with equal life-long passions in Photography and Filmmaking\, she sets her eyes on uplifting our world through the lens of the people. \nShe is a Co-Founder/Core Member of UNIVERSES Theater Company* (founded in 1995) and of THE POINT Community Development Corporation* in the Hunts point Section of The South Bronx (founded in 1993). \nPlaywriting/Acting credits include AmericUS; UNISON; PARTY PEOPLE; AMERIVILLE; The Denver Project; One Shot in Lotus Position; BLUE SUITE; RHYTHMICITY; SLANGUAGE; THE RIDE.

SUMMARY:Jec Ballou Equine Fitness & Performance Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Massie Equine Veterinary Clinic & The Equine Healing Center is thrilled to announce that renowned author and equine fitness expert Jec Ballou will be hosting a two-day riding clinic focused on equine fitness and performance on May 31st and June 1st\, 2025. \nJec Ballou\, a lifelong equestrian with a deep understanding of equine physiology\, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this exclusive clinic. Raised in a horse training family in Vermont and having studied dressage extensively throughout Europe\, Ballou eventually settled in California\, where she recognized a critical gap in equine training. \n“About 15 years ago\, I realized that most of the problems riders struggled with stemmed from their horses not using their bodies well. They lacked strength or coordination\, they had muscle imbalances\, they were stiff\, and so on\,” says Ballou. “Meanwhile\, horse training had become too specialized and way too complicated. We needed simple\, straightforward tools to help horses use their bodies optimally.” \nThis realization led to Ballou’s groundbreaking book\, “101 Dressage Exercises for Horse and Rider” (2005)\, which was endorsed by the United States Dressage Federation as an essential resource for all riders. This was followed by three more highly acclaimed books\, including “55 Corrective Exercises for Horses\,” “Equine Fitness\,” and “101 Western Dressage Exercises\,” all of which have been translated into multiple languages and are trusted worldwide. \nBallou’s approach emphasizes simple\, straightforward techniques to help horses regain freedom of movement\, enjoy exercise\, and build strong\, healthy bodies. Through her publications\, customized fitness plans\, online courses\, and in-person clinics\, she empowers riders globally to achieve their individual goals\, regardless of discipline. \n“Jec Aristotle Ballou has spent her life with horses\, studying dressage around the globe alongside a tireless passion for equine exercise physiology\,” states Dr. Massie of Massie Equine Veterinary Clinicr. “She is a tireless advocate for the horse\, committed to promoting the understanding that quality athletic movement can never happen as a result of shortcuts\, force\, or hurried training methods.” \nClinic Details:\nDates: May 31st – June 1st\, 2025\nLocation: Massie Equine Veterinary Clinic & The Equine Healing Center 11910 Blackwell Road\, Central Point\, Oregon 97502\nCost:\n$550 per horse & rider (includes catered lunch and full board for horse)\n$475 per horse & rider (includes catered lunch & no board (haul-ins)\n$125 auditing fee (includes admission and lunch for both days)\nRegistration: https://www.theequinehealingcenter.org/event-details/jec-ballou-equine-fitness-performance-clinic\nQuestions: Call 541-636-1191\nJec Ballou is dedicated to working with riders from all disciplines\, helping them and their equine partners achieve optimal fitness and performance.

SUMMARY:Walk through Jacksonville History
DESCRIPTION:Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back! \nAt 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 24th through August 30th\, Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District\, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history\, visiting government and commercial buildings\, fraternal lodges\, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social\, governmental\, and commercial hub. They’ll learn how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it. \nWalking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings. \nFor individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs\,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District\, its Historic Homes\, and its Pioneer Cemetery. \nHistoric Jacksonville\, Inc. invites you to forget the “names\, dates\, places\, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life! \nAdditional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.
