In the entertainment business since 1970, Simmons, from Manitoba, is likely Canada's most versatil e comedian. He puts on a funfest, full ofbizarregadgets,wild costumes, unique songs, crazy vaudeville-inspired routines and, of course, bad puns.

According to the press release, "Al Simmons' oneman, multi-prop, musicfilled, off-the-wall performances have elevated audiences worldwide to collective giggles and all-out guffaws. At once childlike in its simplicity and sophisticated in its execution, Al's humor touches a responsive chord in people of every age."

By Jeff Petersen The Observer

Deep in the heart of canyon country, beyond the bounds of civilization, where men are men and women are as tough as two-penny nails, a book was born.

No ordinary book, this. A book about an extraordinary woman, Mary Marks.

Wallowa County author Janie Tippett fleshed out the book from Marks' diary entries, which were so succinct you'd think a 3,000-vert ical-footclim b to cow camp was as simple as a walk to the mailbox.

Now, Tippett will give a presentation and book signing on"Four Lines a Day" from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday at Looking Glass Books, 1118 Adams Ave., La Grande.

The book can be found at Looking Glass Books and at the Bookloft in Enterprise and other Wallowa County outlets.

"I had known this lady for 30 years," Tippettsaid."Her diaries ran from 1938 through the 1980s, and she was going to burn them up. I said no. I thought about the idea for a couple of years and then had anopportunityfora week or two with no interruptions and just started writing it."

The book first came out in 2010. Those 1,000 copies sold out in three months. One reason the book sold out so quickly is that Tippett has been a columnist for Agri-Times Northwest, which reachesa fi ve-state area,for 32 years, and has a built-in follow-

"Four Lines a Day" is now in its second printing.

Mary Marks, left, shares some quality time with "Four Lines a Day" author Janie Tippett. ing for her column called"Janie's Journal: Life on the Ranch."

Tippett had written about Marks in some ofher columns, and they were good friends.

Unfortunately, Marks, who lived to almost90,died beforethe book came out.

The book is now in its second edition.

Tippett gotstarted on the book while attending a Fishtrap Writers Retreat on the Upper Imnaha River, across the river from where Marks lived. Fishtrap was Tippett's college,she said.

"The bulk of the book was written atthe retreat, "Tippettsaid."If it wasn't for Fishtrap, I probably wouldn't be a writer."

But the project presented challenges. Tippett said it took about 10 years from when she first had the idea until the book was

published.

Marks, she said, for years had

keptthose kinds ofdiariesthat had the locks on them and had room for only four lines a day.

"She would carry these little diaries in her saddle bags when she went to cow camp," Tippett said.'They were just snippets. I got the stories between the lines."

Each chapter in the book is headed with a quote from one of the lines. Tippett expands on the story from there.

"I tried to work in the culture of the Imnaha, which has not been written about much and goes back to the families in the 1880s," she sard.

Making something out of very little, the four lines, the pithy diary entries, was a challenge. ''What blew me away was she'd say we got up and rode up to Mahogany Cow Camp and cooked for the boys," Tippett said."But that entailed saddling a horse, riding eight miles up a steep mountain to

cow camp, cooking for 25 cowboys and riding all the way back down and doing her chores down on the river. It was the miles and the unforgiving steepness, the remoteness of the country."

And that's not all.

"Electricity didn't come to the area until the 1960s, even along theriver, "Tippettsaid.

The Wallowa County author said she understood Marks' life because Tippett had, in a way, lived it herself. Tippett's husband, Doug, owned the Dug Bar Ranch on the Snake River when the Tippetts got married.

Marks was not the only one who facedchallenges.Tippettsaid she almost lost the book when it got I

"ate" by a computer.

"I'm 81, and I wasn't really in the technical age, and had one of those first computers, and suddenly the manuscript seemed to have disappeared," she recalled.

To the rescue rode afriend of hers from Fishtrap, Rick Bombaci.

He was the developmental director of Fishtrap then and had once owned BlueMountain Computer.

"He was a whiz at that computer stufFandwas able to retrieve the manuscript," Tippett said.

"If it hadn't been for him, there wouldn't be a book."

To complete the book, Tippett sat with Marks for days, getting the whole story.

"The biggest challenge was getting it in the right order, getting pictures in that had never been

published," Tippett said. "She had sent me to the burn barrel to burn them."

Tippettwanted to tellM arks' storybecause,Tippettsaid,if people only met Marks once they would never forgether— people from all over the world.

"My passion was getting her storytold,"Tippettsaid.

Tippett was grateful to have been ableto read the chapters aloudto Marks before she died.
