ish Academy, was quoting Dylan’s song, when asked to comment: “Mr. Dylan is a great poet in the English-speaking tradition.”
She
added that poets such as Homer and Sappho delivered their po- ems orally. T e choice surprised a number of artists: Songwriter Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, was quoted: “Holy mother …. Bob Dylan wins
the Nobel
Prize!” But green envy shone brightly
among the less than enthusiastic comments made by a number of writers. Irvine Walsh, a Scottish novelist evidently wrote on Twit- ter: “I’m a Dylan fan, but this is ill conceived nostalgia wrenched from…senile, gibbering hippies.” T e Dylan albums described by the Swedish Academy that made “a tremendous impact on popu- lar music:
“Bringing it All Back
Home,” “Highway 61 Revisited,” “Blonde on Blonde,” “Blood on the Tracks,” “Oh Mercy,” “Time Out of Mind,” “Love and T eſt ,” and

person Abigail Evans encourages anyone in the community with an interest to come to the Friendship Dinner and fi nd out about our sister city programs. “Come enjoy Japa- nese sushi and Ukrainian borsht and dumplings with us and learn more about the World Friends as well as Chyhyryn and Takeo. We also ask you to join us in our effort to raise money for Project C.U.R.E. It is important for our community to come together to support our friends in Chyhyryn and to con- tinue to develop the bonds between our communities since we are cur- rently unable to take part in our regular exchange programs with students there.” SWF was orga- nized as a Sebastopol City Com- mission in 1985. Since then, it has been active with its two sister
cities, Chyhyryn in Ukraine, and Takeo in Japan. SWF’s goal is to work toward “World Peace, One Friend at a Time,” by bringing sister city citi- zens together through youth and adult citi- zens’ home- stay exchange programs. Hundreds of Sebastopol
youth and adult citizens have partici- pated in the
program as grass-roots diplomacy ambassadors. In 2014, SWF re- ceived the Best Overall Program award from Sister Cities Interna- tional. For more information about the Friendship Dinner and the Se- bastopol World Friends, contact Abigail Evans at 707-347-9339 or

PUBLISHER PAUL A. DOYLE’S PUNS
If I keep writing a paper like
this...it may give my future great Paultential.
I would publish information regarding the current 2016 presidential election, but unfortunately I’m not into Paulitics.
The sunlight can be very intense at times while driving so, I choose to wear paulerized sunglasses.
When the newspaper arrives to be
delivered...it comes on paulettes.
If I was to comeback into another life I think I’d like to be a paullywog.
Pauleeze...no more puns!
