Hiker rescued after bad tumble on PCT

Airport fly-in celebrates America

By Jodi Schneider Correspondent

A helicopter, a gyrocopter and many planes buzzed overhead and the engines of vintage hot rods and drag racers roared at Sisters Eagle Airport on Thursday, July 4, as hundreds of Sisters residents and visitors showed up to celebrate a power-packed Independence Day for the 7th annual Wings & Wheels Fly-in & Car Show.

The weather was perfect — blue skies without a hint of wind as people of all ages lined up for pancakes that Sisters Rotary Club provided for those early risers attending the event.

Sisters Eagle Airport is celebrating 83 years this year — originally built and opened

by George Wakefield in 1936.

The morning kicked off with a heartwarming flag drop brought in by Skydive Awesome, coupled with the playing of the National

“He made really unique hot rods out of quality cars,” Hall said.

Right next to the 1932 Ford Coupe was Bill Leininger’s, 1933 Chevy Coupe, also built by Hall’s grandfather. Hall and Leininger met

A hiker traveling alone on the Pacific Crest Trail about two miles north of the Rockpile Lake area tumbled about 50 feet while crossing a steep snow-covered section of the trail on Sunday, June 30, at about 6 p.m.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Coordinator Sgt. Dave Pond reported that, “the subject lost footing and tumbled about 50 feet until he hit a tree, stopping his descent. He was located by two other hikers who were able to get him back on the trail and call 911.”

More than a dozen small aircraft were on display, along with over 40 vintage cars of every description, with helicopter rides by Leading Edge Aviation.

Many were there to admire flying machines that went back to the 1930s. Others

took a trip down memory lane browsing through vintage vehicles.

Airport hosts university Quilters rise to challenge in Sisters science project

By Jim Cornelius Editor in Chief

By Jim Cornelius Editor in Chief

A test flight for a project measuring electrical conductivity in connection with thunderstorms was to launch via balloon from Sisters Airport early this week.

The joint effort of the University of Washington Earth and Space Sciences program and DigiPen Institute of Technology tapped the expertise of Sisters resident Steven Peterzen, who has conducted balloon launches for sciencerelated projects all over the world.

“It’s in his back yard; that’s why we’re here,” said University of Washington Professor Michael McCarthy,

Inside...

who was leading students in the project.

The 80-by-90-foot balloon will carry a 72-pound payload of atmospheric measuring instruments to an altitude of 130,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. The instruments set up

by University of Washington students will measure electrical conductivity. The crew from DigiPen is responsible for the telemetry and data transmission.

“We’re using basically a satellite phone link,” Jeremy Thomas explained. “We’re sending the data basically as text messages.”

Those messages will come at a rate of one per minute.

Among the more than one thousand quilts that will be on display on downtown shops at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show on Saturday, July 13, will be a set of quilts designed around the theme of “Bountiful Life.”

Volunteer firefighters from the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District will turn out at 7:30 a.m. on Quilt Show Day to hang the 29 quilts of the 2019 Stitchin’ Post Quilt Challenge.

At the top of the array will be a quilt crafted by Fern Inman, who works four days a week at Stitchin’ Post.

To the Editor: On Thursday, June 27, Indivisible Sisters held an event to watch the second night of the Democrats’ primary debates for 2020 presidential election with other locals. The debates were televised two consecutive evenings, each featuring 10 candidates. We served popcorn and cookies which were store bought and homemade. We mingled 5:30 to 6 p.m. and sat to watch. Commercials and commentator analysis were muted so we could chat and/or stand and stretch.

Although the Internet connection would at times sputter, it was interesting to watch with a large group for the various reactions, shared laughs, groans, and concerned glances. The time went fast. 2020 election and legislator references were provided to encourage citizens to make calls over the next days to their representatives on various topics.

The second round of Democrats’ primary debates are July 30 and July 31 on MSNBC. Please, join us Tuesday night, July 30, at the Sisters Library starting at 5:30 p.m.; debate starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.

We welcome citizens from all political parties to join us.

Nike is doing it wrong.

I don’t mean the shoemaking, though that thing with Zion Williamson was pretty bad, I have to say.

No, Nike is doing it wrong because it managed to do something that all the neo-Nazis, Klansmen, altrighters and other denizens of the lowest coprophagic phylum of our political life could never do: It turned the Betsy Ross flag into a racist symbol.

By now you’ve probably heard that Nike decided to take the advice of Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who ignited so much controversy by refusing to stand for the national anthem. Nike was all set to release a line of sneakers for the Fourth of July featuring the original Betsy Ross American flag with 13 stars in a circle.

According to reports, Kaepernick took offense because a handful of extremist groups like to brandish the original American flag to make some sort of point about something no one should care about.

The thing is, most Americans — and when I say most, I mean, like, nearly all of them — had no idea white supremacists were doing this. In countless news stories, reporters contacted experts who either didn’t know about it or were only vaguely aware that this is one of the things these groups like to wear as capes during dress-up time.

The Anti-Defamation L e a g u e ’s C e n t e r o n Extremism has a database with more than 150 “hate symbols.” The Betsy Ross flag isn’t among them.

“The Betsy Ross flag is a common historical flag,” Mark Pitcavage of the ADL told CNBC. While it’s been used by white supremacists “from time to time,” he has “never once thought about” adding the Betsy Ross flag to the list.

Nonetheless, it’s true that if you search through enough old photos of Klan rallies and neo-Nazi pageants, you can spot a Betsy Ross flag from time to time.

Do you know what else you can probably spot if you look long and hard enough? Nike sneakers.

Does that make Nikes symbols of white supremacy?

Of course not. But what if these groups started wearing T-shirts with the Nike “swoosh” on them?

Frankly, I think it would be a brilliant move by these hate groups to do just that.

Nike would freak out, giving these attention-seekers a bonanza in free publicity.

Innocuous or even noble symbols can be appropriated for evil purposes. But here’s the thing: When evil people acquire symbols for their own ends, the only guarantee of success is when everyone else validates the acquisition.

If Nike had gone ahead with the special-edition sneakers, it would have been, in marketing terms, the equivalent of Godzilla versus Bambi. A few neoNazis and a few more social justice warriors would have complained, and everyone else would have gone about their day totally unconcerned.

Instead, Nike followed the advice of a man whose business model is to stir grievance and controversy for its own sake. Suddenly, millions of people who once thought the Betsy Ross flag was just an admirable bit of Americana now associate it with hate groups. Worse, other entirely decent and patriotic Americans will now likely start brandishing the flag to offend people who, until recently, had no idea some hate groups adopted the flag in the first place.

The ranks of the perpetually offended will misread this trolling-to-own-thelibs effort as an endorsement of hate speech, and the culture war will have yet another idiotic fight on its hands, and a symbol of the country’s founding that should be a uniting image for all Americans will now be reduced to a weapon in that war.

Thanks a lot, Nike. © 2019 Tribune Content Agency, LLC

Graduation brings a transition that often leads to life in a new location. Stepping into an independent life with new dreams and goals, away from home, can evoke nervousness as well as enthusiasm.

For small-town high school seniors, it is common to hear excitement voiced about finally being able to go somewhere “bigger.” Many feel that leaving is part of a permanent long-term plan; yet for others, the exodus was merely a stepping-stone to the return.

Catherine Childress is displaying her needlepoint work in the tradition of Clementine Hunter at the Library.

Needlepoints pay tribute to folk artist

By Helen Schmidling Correspondent

Clementine Hunter was a self-taught Louisiana folk artist. Born in 1886 or ’87, she lived and worked for most of her life on Melrose Plantation near Natchitoches.

She made thousands of paintings that depicted flowers, religion, and plantation life in the early 1900s. Today she is considered a folk art legend, and her work is on display in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Textile artist Catherine Childress of Sisters discovered Clementine Hunter’s work years ago, when she traveled as a regional manager for Sprint, working out

of Atlanta. One day in New Orleans, Childress came upon a yarn and needlepoint boutique called The Quarter Stitch, “like the Stitchin’ Post only for yarn,” she said.

Hanging on the shop’s walls were needlepoint reproductions of some of Clementine Hunter’s most iconic scenes.

As it turns out, the original owner of The Quarter Stitch had licensed the rights to reproduce several of Hunter’s most iconic works as needlepoint kits that include stamped canvas and yarn in appropriate colors.

Childress grew up in Atlanta, so she was immediately drawn to the themes of Hunter’s work: life in the post-Civil-War South, the folk art style, and the color. Over

the years, she needlepointed 15 Clementine Hunter paintings, using the materials supplied by The Quarter Stitch.

She set them aside for a while during the time she cared for her husband, Dave, when he had cancer.

When she moved to a new home in Sisters, she had the needlepoints framed and hung in her sunny sewing room.

She is now working on a 16th needlepoint reproduction.

For a few days this month, Childress’s needlepoints are on loan to Sisters Library, in the Computer Room, as part of the many colorful exhibits that make up the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

Tales from a

Sisters Naturalist

by Jim Anderson

An eventful journey Back in 1958, I was looking for something to really sink my teeth into. I tried out being a buckaroo, a logger and a powder monkey.

I was living with Dean and Lily Hollinshead on George A. Jones Road, in the house George A. Jones occupied when he had the grand idea of making that property into a model Central Oregon fruit farm…which failed because of freezing frost that hit him every spring in that microweather zone.

To keep the Hollinsheads from tossing me out among the frost-killed fruit trees I was employed by Bill Miller as a powder monkey/ mechanic in the business of harvesting pumice west of Bend — where the William E. Miller Elementary School stands today.

At the same time, because I was so involved with the volcanic geology of the region, I became first a pest — then a pal — to Phil Brogan, who was a writer for The Bend Bulletin and The Oregonian, and subsequently the author of “East of the Cascades,” a wonderful book about where we live.

Every time I ran into a strange volcanic mystery I’d ask Phil about it and he would either know what it was right off the top of his head, or he’d look it up in his

geological text books from the U of O — from which he graduated with a degree in geology — or he’d send me searching on my own. There was no such thing as Google or Wikipedia in those longago days, so I became a regular fixture in the Deschutes Public Library, which I still am today.

Phil became my mentor in the late 1950s when I expressed the desire to become a writer for The Bulletin. My first attempt to write a news piece was when Phil sent me to write up the latest police beat news.

As I sat in front of that trusty Royal pounding out the words (me, a guy who couldn’t spell “cat” — even to this day), Phil came up behind me, stood there without saying a word, and then reached over my shoulder, pulled the paper from the typewriter and said, “A naturalist you are, my boy, but a writer you ain’t” and I threw in the towel.

But our friendship never cooled; he and I got the editor of The Bulletin to publish “picture pages” we’d cook up. I’d shoot photos of natural history subjects, Phil would do the writing, and they were hits.

One Sunday he asked me if I would like to accompany him to Camp Hancock where he was asked to give a geology lecture on Red Hill (an ancient cinder cone on the edge of camp). The camp is named for one of Oregon’s early geologists, Lon Hancock, who discovered many types of Miocene fossils in the area just east of the John Day River near the Clarno crossing. In time he was recognized throughout western U.S. as a new and outstanding geologist with his discovery of fossil rhino teeth and several sites of fossil nut trees adjacent to the camp.

These discoveries eventually led the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI) to create a science camp near Clarno which they named Camp Hancock.

That camp became the main stay of the museum and the facility that led hundreds of high school-age young people into careers in geology. On our way from Bend to Hancock Phil shared these details, so when we arrived I was ready to soak it all in.

I not only soaked in Lon Hancock’s life and work (he had gone out among the stars earlier), but I met his wife, Berrie, who was the cook in the camp kitchen. But it was the kids who really got me.

They already had a distinct purpose in life and knew where they were going — and I wanted to be a part of that life.

Phil and I lined up a picture page story about Hancock. It was a hit and when the director of the museum, Loren McKinley (a retired newspaper publisher) saw it, he asked Phil and me if we would do the same for the museum’s new Camp Arago on the coast, which we did, and I used this experience to work my way into a position as OMSI’s staff naturalist and science camp teacher.

Pale snaketail dragonfly.

In that role I drove the bus, taught high school students from freshmen to seniors and science teachers for that part of the museum’s activities. I also met and worked with hundreds of kids from kindergarten to high school who wanted science to become part of their lives (this was in the Sputnik era, and everyone was hot for science).

The OMSI kids grew up to become adults and never lost their natural curiosity or love for the world around them. I’ve kept close to several of those magnificent young people and

Antique quilt at Library has a rich history

By Sue Stafford Correspondent

Most handmade quilts have a story to tell. The story might relate to the maker(s) of the quilt, the fabrics used, for whom the quilt was made, where it came from, or how it got to its current place of residence.

On Quilt Show Saturday, July 13, in the Sisters Library Community Room, a very special quilt over 100 years old will be displayed by the Three Sisters Historical Society and the quilt’s owner, Kris Kristovich, the greatgrandson of the quilt’s creator, Franz Vanecek (later known as Frank Wanecek).

Kris and his wife, Penny, started Sisters Drug in 1974.

Franz was born July 27, 1857 in the small Bohemian (Czechoslovakian) town of Vonsovec, district of Ledev, in the province of Cechy.

Vonsovec was a small village of 26 homes and 176 residents, across the border from Vienna, Austria.

Vanecek’s parents and grandparents were all residents of Bohemia. His grandfather, Wenzel, worked as a weaver. At the age of 13, during Lent season of 1871,

Franz was sent to Latz, Austria (outside Vienna) to start his apprenticeship as a tailor, an occupation that carried down through the generations. Latz was a two-tothree-day journey from his home, and he went alone.

His apprenticeship, lasting four years, involved working for Franz Neubauer in his Neubauer’s Tailoring and Dressmaking shop. On April 11, 1875, having fulfilled all the requirements, Franz was awarded the Certificate of Apprenticeship from the Guild of Tailors of the Royal House of Haupf & Residenstadt of Wien (Vienna), Austria.

Around 1882, Franz left Europe with his pregnant wife for a new life in America, arriving in New York City where both his wife and their baby died. After remarrying, Franz left New York in 1888 for La Crosse, WI, where he worked as a tailor.

It isn’t known when or how they ended up in Spokane, Washington where Franz had a tailor shop.

Franz made quilts for his customers as a side business to his tailoring. Two of his quilts still reside within the family. Kris’s aunt has one of

them and Kris has the other.

Appropriately, the background field of the quilt is made of dark fabrics that were originally salesmen’s samples received by Franz in his tailor shop. The embroidery on the quilt was all done on a machine brought from Czechoslovakia when Franz emigrated to America. The quilt was featured on the front of a quilting magazine about 30 years ago. For its age, the quilt is in excellent condition.

Kristovich will be happy to share his stories of how the family all ended up in Butte, Montana, when Franz’s son Frank moved there and opened a tailor shop. Kris’s father, also Frank, was born in Butte as was Kris (whose given name is Frank). On a visit back to Butte a number of years ago, Kris went into Shirley’s Clothing Shop where he used to buy his school clothes and the man working there remembered Frank the Tailor. He especially remembered Frank’s lunch that he ate every day - raw hamburger, Limburger cheese, and onions on rye bread, washed down with a pint of beer.

That’s a lot of stories packed into one quilt.

Sisters students learn marine ecology The day after wrapping up the school year, 15 Outlaws, three teachers and one Sisters RD fish biologist headed off to the Bahamas for a week of marine science and island ecology. The students travelled all night and the next day to Andros Island and stayed at the Forfar Field Station run by International Field Studies, Inc. The kids spent three boat days and three land days learning all about barrier reefs, fish, corals, blue holes, island geology and culture, grass basket weaving, sustainable living, marine and land conservation, botany, excessive heat, bug bites, sunburns, and how to get a crab out of your bathroom!

“It’s like our own private island and more fun than a hotel,” said Cambrie Leaver about the Forfar Station, which has been leading educational programs for over

40 years. “The lodge was really old school, and I found that really cool. It’s a super friendly place,” said Tate Kaczmarek. “I loved all the interns who taught me how to ID a lot of fish and coral.

They were awesome!” said Gus Patton.

Out on the water the students snorkelled the barrier reef, patch reefs, shipwrecks and oceanic blue holes.

“I had a stingray swim toward me and I saw a parrot fish in its night bubble.

It makes you realize you are right there and not just observing,” said Matthew Riehle.

“The manatee was such a graceful creature and I felt a sense of awe in its presence,” said Josie Aylor.

The students also saw dolphins, triggerfish, butterfly fish, trumpet fish, lionfish, hog fish and many more.

Cian Schultz, Kaylee

Huber and Kinnon Rutherford agreed that the best part of the day was seeing a shark.

On land the students visited Androsia Fabric factory.

Ava Riehle and Hadley Schar noted that, “Androsia is important to the island by having the fabric spread across the world. It is also the official fabric of the Bahamas.”

They also went to the remote settlement of Red Bays.

Jackson Parkins and Abi Manley said they “learned that the thatch housing can resist hurricane-force winds.”

Students learned about making sponges, wood carvings and heard some songs and music by Wilton.

“Underwater is like a new world and I’m glad I could experience it,” said Schar.

“I really appreciated the station’s remoteness and its proximity to nature,” said Parkins. “I appreciate everything about the trip and I realized that I really enjoy learning about marine life and the ocean,” said Josie Patton.

Most of the students concurred that they “appreciate all the new friends.”

A key theme of the program was conservation.

“I will try not to use as many plastic bags and

“I will try to use less water and not waste as much food,” said Hollie Lewis and Titan Kroytz.

Deb Riehle said, “Thanks to Rob Jensen for getting the ball rolling figuratively and literally, Julie Patton for an

unlimited amount of positive energy and Mike Riehle for all his marine expertise. Special thanks to Tate Metcalf at Sisters Athletic Club for loaning the pool out for snorkel practice and letting the kids gain initial confidence in the water.

This trip was epic, and the kids were so impressive and awesome!”

Vintage car told a story at airport 4th of July show

By Jodi Schneider Correspondent

If you asked Sisters resident Bill Hall what he remembers most about his childhood, he’d say it was his grandfather’s shop full of vintage cars being readied for a custom build.

His grandfather, Sid Hall, was a legend among the prewar generation of hot-rod builders and probably bought his first steel car to customize when he was only 13 years old back in the early 1940s.

“My grandfather built them, and I grew up around them,” Hall said.

Hall is a fourth-generation custom car builder.

He noted, “My great grandfather was also into cars and restored early to mid1920s cars and pickups.”

His grandfather, a brick mason by trade, used all his spare time restoring cars.

“They were mostly prewar cars 1932 through 1940,” Hall told The Nugget. “He was very particular about the cars he picked. They had to be good quality cars, and all were made of steel. He was a street rod guy and he’d hot rod them out.”

Hall recalls that his dad, also a brick mason, and grandfather would get together after work and beat out the muscle cars they had bought for next to nothing, fix them up, and sell them for a few bucks just to buy quality vintage cars to turn into hot rods.

“My grandfather would buy good stock cars and strip them down to nothing.

Then he’d rework the frames, maybe add independent suspension, and add a V8 engine.

He would make them a little bit more modern but keep the appearance of the car as stock looking as possible, where the body and fenders would be stock but re-chromed and add

wire wheels. The more he got into his hobby the more he began purchasing rare cars.”

He added, “My whole family loves building vintage cars so much, we call it a disease, a sickness or a great passion.”

Sid would give his soupedup cars to family members.

He became recognized as a custom car builder through word of mouth and took on clients and built approximately 57 hot rods before passing away 10 years ago.

There was a signature look to Sid’s vehicles.

Hall noted, “He started off with all Fords from a 1932 coupe, 502 coupes and 1932 and ’33 cabriolets, roadsters, anything that he thought was neat and looked good. He’d have a certain color combination and a stance or a unique look to his cars. They are noticeable.”

After Sid’s passing Hall took on a quest to track down all his grandfather’s cars across the nation and has located over 15 of them through vintage car shows, hot rod magazines and a paper trail kept by his grandmother.

“It’s exciting and a piece of my history,” he said.

Recently, Hall acquired his great uncle Fred’s car built by his grandfather.

“My grandfather’s brother had the 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe for 65 years. We worked out a deal and now I own one of my grandfather’s rare and wonderful cars,” Hall said tearing up. “My great uncle still has another car that my grandfather built him, a 1935 Pontiac convertible.”

Then on July 4, 2018 something surprising happened for Hall.

“Last year at Sisters Eagle Airport’s Wings & Wheels Fly-in & Car Show, my wife, Karen, and I were walking in and about 50 yards away I spotted one of

Sure enough when we walked up to the 1933 Chevy Coupe, the sign said the builder was Sid Hall! The owner is Bill Leininger, a Sisters resident.”

Hall explained to Leininger about his quest and how incredible it was in finding one of his grandfather’s cars without looking for it.

“Bill and I have since developed a special friendship

together,” he said.

This year at Sisters Eagle Airport’s 7th annual Wings & Wheels Fly-in & Car Show Leininger and Hall’s vintage vehicles — both made by Sid Hall — sat side by side.

Hall brought photos to share of Leininger’s car during the restoration process that his grandmother had taken and saved all these years.

Leininger noted, “I

purchased Sid Hall’s 33 Chevy in 2002 from a second owner. And over 15 years ago I had briefly met his grandfather at a car show in Tacoma, Washington and spoke a little bit to him. He was there as a spectator and remembered the car.”

Hall builds muscle cars and builds about one a year, with a little help from his son.

And an American tradition continues.

The White Buffalo returns to Sisters

By Ceili Cornelius Correspondent

The White Buffalo is returning to the Sisters stage for the Sisters Rhythm and Brews Festival Friday, July 26. The White Buffalo, given name Jake Smith, is known for his wide vocal range with a baritone sound and the dark, narrative storytelling of his songs.

Born in Oregon, and eventually living in San Francisco, Smith picked up a guitar in his teenage years and found a passion for playing.

“I started writing songs when I knew only a few chords, and didn’t realize I had such an affinity for it (songwriting),” said Smith.

Smith attended college with no real agenda, he went in as a history major potentially wanting to enter into teaching, but realized that wasn’t for him and he came back to music.

“I really didn’t know what or where I wanted to go, I didn’t have an agenda in college and I was continuing to write,” he said.

In 2002, Smith was waiting tables and living in San Francisco while also circulating a number of tape recordings of his songs, recorded on his brother’s Pioneer selfrecorder. These tapes went out to friends and family for gifts and as a way for people to hear the songs he had written.

One of his friends in the surfing world got one of his tapes

to the director of a surf film.

“This director of the film called me out of the blue asking if he could use one of my songs in his movie,” he said.

Smith, calling his musical incarnation The White Buffalo, then went down to the premiere of the movie in Southern California where he saw audience members singing along to his song in the movie.

“I was baffled by the idea that people actually liked and knew my music, that’s when I felt inspired to keep going with music and made the move down south and knew I had to go for it,” he said.

The White Buffalo now has around 80-plus songs to his name and has been in the music industry for 15 years.

A number of The White Buffalo’s songs were featured in the FX show “Sons of Anarchy.” They used so many of his narrative songs that they asked him to come in and sing on a number of tracks specifically for the show.

“It was amazing and I really felt like I became a part of that show,” he said.

His songs have also been featured in other notable shows: “This is Us” and “The Punisher.”

“It doesn’t really matter emotionally to me that I am in a TV show, but I try to hit all the emotions for the audience with my songs and make people feel, that is my goal,” he said.

Being featured in the shows

has provided a huge bump in his career.

“It is cool for people to recognize my music from one of their favorite TV shows; it helps them to get to know it,” he said.

The White Buffalo came out with his most recent album “Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights,” two years ago, the album containing a number of songs that are true to the title, light, happier tunes and darker tunes as well. He is in the process of recording a new record with a new producer and musician Shooter Jennings.

“These songs are coming from that same honest and emotional place,” he said.

When performing shows on the road, The White Buffalo performs a range of his songs, not just ones from the most recent album.

“People connect their hearts to certain songs, and everyone has different favorite songs and ones that resonate with them, so I try to do a variety of songs for my audience,” he said. “It is my job to make people feel and entertain them.”

The White Buffalo will perform one set on Friday, July 26 at the Village Green in the Sisters Rhythm & Blues Festival.

The White Buffalo has been on the Sisters stage before, for the 2013 Sisters Folk Festival.

“The Sisters crowds are special and the shows are unique. At the festival, there were some rocking and wild shows, and others that were more low-key,” he said. “The festival is unique in that way,” he said.

Sisters also happens to be the place where Smith’s parents, Jeff and Ginny Smith, live.

“It is always fun to come back and play in the town that

my parents live,” he said.

Jeff and Ginny have joined him on the road a few times for shows, and recently traveled with him to some shows in Canada.

The White Buffalo will be performing one set only at the Sisters Rhythm & Brews Festival on Friday, July 26, at the Village Green. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. One-day passes are still available for Friday night and Saturday all day.

Tickets are still available to purchase online at bit.ly/SistersRhythmBrews.

Sisters bring nutrition therapy, wellness and barre

By T. Lee Brown Correspondent

Cindy Miskowiec is new to Sisters. She grew up in Florida, got a degree in psychology, and moved to Hawaii and Albuquerque. No matter where she landed, she danced, especially ballet. “I danced throughout my whole life,” she told The Nugget.

Then came 2012, when she moved to join her sister Christie Reid in Central Oregon.

“I didn’t really start getting into the nutrition and wellness aspect until I moved to Bend,” Miskowiec explained. “Based on things that we were going through in our lives, we both decided to get more into nutrition and health.”

More specifically, “We’ve learned to enjoy life while dealing with the loss of our mother, divorce, custody battles, alcoholism and depression. Each of these things led to an unhealthy lifestyle and we decided to make positive changes in our lives.” The two revealed this personal backstory on their website.

Miskowiec began dancing at Terpsichorean Studio in Bend and obtained a certification in nutrition therapy

through Central Oregon Community College. Next came barre, a movement and fitness form which interested her “because it was dancelike,” though today her teaching style focuses on strengthening rather than dance moves.

Certified in fitness nutrition by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Miskowiec became certified as a Barre Above Instructor in 2017. Meanwhile, Reid worked as a Jazzercise teacher and studied health coaching.

Together, the sisters formed Synchronicity Wellness.

“We focus on healthy, local foods—so the farmers market is great for that,” said Miskowiec. “My sister and I, we just like to share our knowledge and our experience with people. Exercise makes people happy. We like to share that with people.”

Synchronicity Wellness aims to help individuals “reach realistic goals and live happy, healthy lives by using a holistic approach to wellness.” Reid and Miskowiec note that nutrition is key.

They believe people can enjoy healthy delicious food “without breaking the bank,”

lose weight with fitness programs that are fun, and manage stress with simple tools.

“We help people of all ages make smarter food choice and to see how what you’re eating can affect your mental health, your overall wellbeing,” Miskowiec said. “We try and make it simple, with meal plans. We add in more fruits and vegetables and healthy stuff.”

She and her husband moved to Sisters from Bend last November.

“Living in Sisters now is great,” she said. “I love the community here. It’s been great teaching in Sisters. In the classes I teach at Life.

Love. Yoga., people seem very grateful to feel better.”

Newcomers to yoga, barre, and dance can try out barre at Miskowiec’s two Yoga in the Park dates.

“My classes are all lowimpact,” she said. She described her approach to barre as being closely related to Pilates, a popular modality focusing on core strength.

“It’s more about strengthening and toning; it’s not really dancing,” she said.

“You don’t have to have any dance experience. It’s a welcoming environment.

“We don’t worry about steps or feet or any of that!” she added with a laugh. “It’s about toning your whole body and it really gets you in good shape. It’s fun! Everybody seems to love it.”

Synchronicity Wellness will bring a booth to Sisters Farmers Market on July 14 and 28 at Fir Street Park, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sisters folks are welcome to walk up and learn more about the sisters’ approach to nutrition, fitness, and health.

Miskowiec will teach barre at Yoga in the Park on July 14 and 21. Part of Sisters Farmers Market’s new programming, this casual outdoor yoga and fitness program takes place at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays in Fir Street Park.

Participants should bring two thick towels or a yoga

mat and one towel, plus sunscreen and clothes that allow for movement. The program is free, but an optional donation of $5-10 is suggested.

Miskowiec teaches her Barre Above classes at Terpsichorean Dance Studio and InMotion Training Studio in Bend, as well as Life.Love.Yoga Studio in Sisters. Synchronicity Wellness accepts remote clients through Skype and the Internet, along with in-person clients in their Bend office.

Those seeking consultations in Sisters may call Miskowiec at 541-410-2826.

Quilter Anna Bates takes social media by storm

By Jodi Schneider Correspondent

Sisters resident Anna Bates really lives the quilting life.

She spreads her prolific quilting know-how around the globe through social media.

“I love to write and talk about quilting as much as I love to quilt,” Bates said.

She has online quilting tutorials, and interacts with quilters every day through Instagram, Facebook and her online blog, “Woolie Mammoth.”

Three years ago, Bates and her husband, Greg, began designing videos for their YouTube channel, “Quilt Roadies.”

She noted, “I’m sharing what I learned about quilting, and my husband shares about our adventures as we travel around the country camping in our trailer. Our passion is encouraging others in many avenues of creativity.”

Bates added, “This is such a blessing because we get the opportunity to see the good in the world, from all over the globe. Greg does all the video editing. He’s also a musician and writes some of the music for our YouTube channel intro.”

Their goal is to connect people over and above all their differences. Their videos range from 15 to 40 minutes, and they have up to 14,000 subscribers.

Bates began quilting in 1993 in Bend during her 25-year nursing career at St.

Charles Medical Center.

She noted, “That was the year I needed a hobby, and I took classes in Bend and then later at the Stitchin’ Post in Sisters. All my friends and I, doctors and nurses from the hospital, formed a small quilting group as a stress reliever.”

Since that time Bates continues quilting in her eclectic style and has been an instructor at Quilters Affair intermittently for years.

Quilters Affair is a mix of classes, workshops and events produced by Stichin’ Post that runs Monday through Friday during quilt week in the Sisters High School before Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS).

“I am a smorgasbord quilter,” said Bates. “I like it all and I don’t have just one style, although I probably lean towards traditional.”

Eighty percent of her work is hand-stitching or handapplique work.

Two years ago, “The Quilt Show” — an online magazine and TV show hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, set up an interview with Bates, and their filming crew traveled to her home in Sisters.

Bates noted, “Jean Wells, SOQS founder, arranged this because a lot of my quilts stay in my home. I live with my quilts. The crew set up a whole scaffolding system to hang my quilts, and a cameraman filmed it.”

“I feel like the Kardashian of quilters because I always tend to be in the right place

at the right time,” Bates said.

“I seem to stumble into these wonderful experiences.”

The hosts then invited Bates to be a guest on The Quilt Show.

Bates now writes a blog, Anna & G on the Road, for The Quilt Show.

“My quilting life is opening up opportunities for me to experience things in life I would not normally get to do.”

This year Bates will be teaching a wool applique class at Quilters Affair and two sit and stitch classes.

Bates noted, “The wool applique class is designed

by Stacy West of Buttermilk Basin. She’s from Minnesota and I love her designs. She designed a project for me to teach.”

West produces about 100 designs a year in various mediums, including cotton, wool, and fiber. Each month she releases seven to 10 at her shop, providing her customers with new designs/kits to purchase each month.

Bates was also asked to do the Sisters Outdoor Quilt

Recently Bates filmed “Sisters Quilt Show Tips,” which is up and ready on Quilt Roadies on YouTube

for folks to learn what to do and where to go on quilt show day.

There will also be a meetand-greet with Bates for Quilt Roadies fans at 11:30 a.m. at Fika Sisters Coffee.

The Bunkhouse Chronicle Craig Rullman Columnist

The Glory of Damascus The new American penchant for tribalism isn’t doing us any favors.

That was on full display at the most recent Democrat presidential debates, where candidates pandered vigorously to their various tribes by promising virtually anything they could think of — from healthcare to college educations — for free. The idea that Bernie Sanders, who is still combing his hair with a balloon, and whose pandering is delivered in language taken directly from the All Soviet Congress of 1917, is even on the dais as a candidate should probably cause every thinking American to cringe.

But mostly we don’t.

Many millions actually celebrate Sanders’ breathless promises to the groaning proletariat, despite the historical evidence which clearly predicts the result of his favorite policies: inveterate poverty for all but a very

select few — an elite cadre of policy wonks whose work in government insulates them from the worst results of their own policies, while simultaneously enriching them.

Naturally, Sanders, who is a multi-millionaire, won’t apologize for his own considerable wealth, but vigorously insists that others should, and has a plan to both take their money and humiliate them for having it in the first place. This theme, and its many subtle variations, seems to dominate the policy thinking of the Democrat candidates for president.

The tilt toward tribalism is driven, at least in part, by hyper-partisan television punditry and the resulting phenomenon of universally bad candidates for high office. It’s also linked to the identity craze, which is that weird insistence on the narrowest claims of one’s personal identity over debate and compromise. It’s a mindset that ultimately serves only to disrupt our ability to negotiate reasonable solutions because that identity claim is sacrosanct, and the result is a populace and a government in perpetual partisan gridlock.

Most ironically, falling hard into this identity trap earns one the title of being “woke,” which is bandied about with suspiciously religious fervor, particularly on college campuses where Western civilization

is routinely derided and the promise of America is no longer measured by its many successes, but rather by its flaws — both real and imagined.

Many of the candidates at the debate weren’t content to offer Americans, who should know better, lots of free stuff. Many of them think it is a good idea to offer free stuff to all of Latin America too, providing an irresistible enticement for many millions — living in the abject poverty of their own countries — to pack up their kids and make the long walk north where, they are promised, they will get free everything.

But all of that free stuff has to be paid for by someone, which many millions of American voters seem to forget in their zeal to see student loan debts forgiven, universal healthcare, or any number of the other “free” ideas floating around in politics. The irony here, of course, is that they will offer these cheesecakes for free, no matter what they actually cost.

Afghanistan is a good place to look when investigating the end result of the tribal mind. It is among the poorest nations on earth and, after 18 years of pouring our blood and treasure into the rock pile, America will soon be pulling out, having accomplished nothing. The Taliban who were in charge

HAVE A STORY IDEA FOR

when we invaded will be back in charge, throwing acid on little girls learning to read, executing women for exposing their ankles, destroying world heritage sites with howitzers, and the long slide back to the 7th century will begin anew for its perpetually hapless citizens.

And for an exclamation point, which they hardly need, the Taliban continue launching car bomb attacks in Kabul, killing dozens at a time, even as we negotiate our way out of the country, bloodied and degraded by the experience.

But at least they will still have their tribes.

The recent debates, and I’m certain it will be true of all them to follow, reminded me of a memorable scene from the movie masterpiece “Lawrence of Arabia.” T.E. Lawrence, of course, had done a considerable job of uniting the various Arab tribes to make the march on Damascus, where they might finally create an Arab entity out of the remnants of European occupation and colonization at the end of World War I. Having gathered the many tribes to begin their negotiations, Lawrence was faced with bedlam — chieftains arguing with chieftains, angry camel herders storming across tables to yell at each other, heaping insult upon insult, even

doormen reaching for their swords, all in an effort to insist on the natural rights of their own tribe.

They were so busy demanding the rights of their tribes, defending their notions of honor and identity, that they were unable to turn on the power, draw water from wells, keep the telephones running, or fight a fire threatening the city.

“The Tawhid do not carry water!” one Chieftain yells above the din.

After watching the debates, it seems plausible that our nation is headed in a similar direction.

Having kicked the notion of E Pluribus Unum to the curb, our many tribes now want all of the glory of Damascus, but without having to carry any water. And in our unabashedly consumerist, poorly educated, and increasingly tribal culture, the temptation to believe that we really can get something for nothing may ultimately prove too much to resist.

Candy-O serves up tribute to The Cars Candy-O, “The Ultimate Tribute to the Cars,” will take the stage at Hardtails Bar & Grill on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m.

Candy-O was established in 2010 and began its foray into the untapped Northwest tribute band market, inspired by lead singer and frontman Randy’s haunting like vocals with that of The Cars’ own Ric Ocasek.

According to the band, “Candy-O breathes tone, accuracy and incredible authenticity into every radio hit they perform and its astonishing resemblance to The Cars’ high-energy performances from the 1970s and ’80s have been entertaining audiences from the first show in 2010.”

In 2018, Candy-O

Fire volunteers host child safety seat clinic Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Corps will hold a child safety seat clinic on Wednesday, July 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sisters Fire Hall, 301 S. Elm St., to inspect and educate caregivers on how to install and properly use their child safety seats.

While caregivers of babies often seek help, Fire Corps wants to reach out to caregivers of children who ride in boosters. The shoulder belt should cross the center of the collarbone, while the lap belt is flat across the child’s upper thighs.

Laws regarding car seats as of 2019 include: • Infants must ride rearfacing until they reach 2 years of age.

• A child who weighs 40 pounds or less must be properly secured with a child safety system that meets the minimum standards and specifications established by the Department of Transportation.

• Children over 40 pounds or who have reached the upper weight limit for their forward-facing car seat must use a child seat with harness or a booster seat until they are 4-feet-9-inches tall or 8 years old and the adult belt fits properly.

Bike Day brings parade and fun to Sisters Bike decorating, a mini parade, and raffle prizes will brighten the streets of Sisters on July 21. Courtesy of Sisters Farmers Market and Eurosports, Bike Day celebrates healthy outdoor activity and creativity for all ages.

The fun kicks off at Eurosports in Sisters at 11 a.m., where all are invited to decorate their bikes.

Eurosports will provide decoration supplies free of charge, in addition to raffle prizes.

At 11:30 a.m., Kaleb and Rachel Kelleher will lead a mini bike parade through town, ending at Fir Street Park for a full market day. A raffle follows after noon, with prizes donated by Eurosports, Sisters Saloon, Paulina Springs Books, market vendors and others.

Business owners like Brad Boyd of Eurosports often support their local farmers markets, both to boost the town’s economy and to celebrate good health for all citizens.

“My partner Karen’s family were farmers through the Depression, the Dust Bowl, World War II and to present day,” Boyd said. “Aside from our personal connection to family farms, we know that local produce tastes better, has more nutrients, helps our local economy and cuts down on pollution from transportation cost.

“We love shopping local and keeping money circulating in our community,” Boyd said.

PIZZA

His store, Eurosports, is located in downtown Sisters at the southeast corner of Hood Avenue and Fir Street.

There, outdoor gear sales and rentals mingle with craft beer, picnic tables, and a food cart pod.

“As a retailer of 30 years in Sisters, I know that farmers markets are cost-effective for growers because they provide low fixed costs and brief periods of intense retail sales,” Boyd said. “Farmers work hard and anything that helps make their lives easier and helps them prosper is great.”

We love shopping local and keeping money circulating in our community.

— Brad Boyd Aaron Okura of Sisters Saloon expressed a similar sentiment about the market, which is so close diners can see it from the restaurant’s side windows.

“We love the Sisters Farmers Market,” Okura said.

The Saloon donated a gift card and other goodies to the Bike Day raffle.

Wholesome fun is on the agenda all summer long, through the end of September, at Sisters Farmers Market.

Dessa and Anya work with quilting tools.

Throughout the school year, math teacher Shawn Steele used problem-solving prompts to help kids see how math works in real-life situations. Usually, the prompts came printed on sheets of paper. Then came spring term, when Ms. Steele led students on an impressive problem-solving mission: to make a real quilt, from start to finish.

At Black Butte School in Camp Sherman, students in kindergarten through 7th grade each made their own quilt block. Then older kids sewed the blocks together, then sewed the strips.

“There were a few problems that came up during the project,” said Ms. Steele. “We had to change the size of the quilt from a 5 by 7 foot to a 6 by 6 foot, to fit a pattern the kids wanted.”

Students had to determine the amount of fabric needed for all nine colors in the quilt. “Then they had to problem-solve when some of the blocks ended up being 12 inches out “It was fun finding ch ea s how many inche g bi w ho d color was an ” s. wa re ua sq each ade —Maddie, 4th gr

“It was very ha rd, but we did it beca use we are Black But te School and we never give up.”

—Zion, 3rd gr ade

and other blocks ended up being 11 inches, due to a seam allowance problem,” she said.

They had only eight weeks to make the whole quilt. People from all over Sisters Country helped out. Ms. Steele really liked the connection between the kids and the community.

“Many volunteers came to the school with their sewing machines. Stitchin’ Post donated the fabric and employees there helped me with questions as they came up,” she said.

Ms. Steele thanked the many volunteers and professionals who helped students make the quilt.

They included Karen Sheldahl, Annette Caldwell, Valori Wells, Kim Addison, Anya Race, Kirstin Anglea, Jennie Sharp, Nicki Pistacchio, Jennie Mitschke, Shirley Miller, Kathy Bourdage, Rachel Gonzalez, and Holly Foster.

Kids in Print Mission: Kids are the readers, writers, and leaders of tomorrow. We’re passionate about getting them involved with print media — as both creators and readers. Expressing themselves in their local newspaper empowers children and teens, and connects them with their community.

Obituary

BALLOON: Group was working toward balloon launch

David Edward Keith David Edward Keith, 78, of Bend, succumbed to compound health related complications in the comfort of his family and friends on June 28.

David was born in Los Altos, California, and remained in the Bay Area until he and his wife, Diane, made a trip in 1981 to visit a very dear friend, Byron Blake, in Sisters. Upon returning from that trip both he and Diane promised themselves to find a way to move to Central Oregon over the following years. They have now called Central Oregon home for 30-plus years.

David is survived by his wife of 40 years, Diane; son, Mark; daughter in-law, Nichole; grandchildren, Jakoby and Nicholas; several loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

David was a loving father, husband, grandfather, brother, patriot and friend to everyone he met.

David loved sports, especially baseball, which he continued to play into his 70s. He was able to play and share his love of baseball with his brother, Dennis. His teammates loved playing for him and frequently called him “Skip� as the coach and captain of their teams. His favorite professional team was the Seattle Mariners. He also enjoyed watching the San Francisco 49ers!

He worked at IBM for over 35 years holding several positions within the organization and retired as a quality assurance engineer.

David served his country in the Army National Guard from 1960 thru 1961.

David loved to spend his free time discussing politics, meteorology, dancing, listening to jazz music and talking on the fence line of his ranch outside of Sisters, with his closest friends and family. At the end of a long day, David loved settling down at night with his family on the porch, discussing the end of the universe and what may lie beyond that which we cannot imagine.

Some of the balloon launches are truly massive, taking four to six ton payloads to altitudes approaching 130,000 feet. Those balloons generally terminate their flights in remote far northern regions. An avid outdoorsman, Peterzen leads ski expeditions into these remote regions to recover balloons and break down equipment and get it all to ports for shipment home.

“I’ll ship a million pounds of cargo in one flight,� he said.

Peterzen has been living in Sisters for about a decade. He teaches skiing at Hoodoo and enjoys other outdoor endeavors between launch projects.

Runners rally on the runway

By Charlie Kanzig

Correspondent

The annual Rally on the Runway 5 kilometer run and walk kicked off the Fourth of July festivities at the Eagle Airport early Thursday morning.

The Rally includes a unique kick-off of a hot rod truck “racing” a plane flying above the runway, which got the runners off to an adrenaline-filled start. The course headed eastward down the runway, looped over to Camp Polk Road, traversed back past the airport to Barclay Drive and finished on the runway.

The race, which is a fundraiser for the Sisters High School swim team, is a no-frills affair that forgoes prizes, drawings and refreshments. Race director and head swim team coach Bryn Singleton reported that a total of 59 people took part in the race, a bit up from last year’s turnout.

Other activities taking place at the airport included a car show, a fly-in, helicopter rides, a rubber chicken drop, and a pancake breakfast.

John Peckham, a rising junior at Sisters High School, led from start to finish and ran exactly the time he set out beforehand of 16:59. “I said before the race that all I wanted was to be under 17:00 and that’s how it turned out.”

Karly Nash came across as the first woman in sixth place overall in a time of 22:19. Erin Kanzig placed second among women with a time of 25:23 and Kate Pryor placed third in 28:31.

Just at the conclusion of the running race, a trio of skyjumpers dropped in from 8,000 feet to a grassy area near the tarmac, including one carrying the American flag while notes of The StarSpangled Banner wafted heavenward in honor of our nation’s Declaration of Independence.

“The parachutist descending with the flag was dramatic and quite moving,” said Barb Green, visiting from Detroit, Michigan.

produced running teams that could rival most of the best four-year universities and clubs. The author weaves characters from Larson’s long career, which eventually includes coaching for the U.S. Olympic team, throughout the book. You don’t have to be a coach, or even an experienced runner, to appreciate the passion, hard work, innovation, and drive represented in the book. I especially appreciated Larson’s belief in building camaraderie as a team.

The latter part of the book focuses mainly on Meb Keflezighi, whom Larson coached for nearly 20 years and who became not only an Olympian but the winner of the 2014 Boston Marathon a month before his 39th birthday.

It’s now July and summer’s long days provide me with more time for reading.

While I have a variety of interests — historical fiction, mysteries, spy thrillers, and travel—I tend to enjoy most those books that have to do with running or related endurance challenges.

A fellow cross-country coach recommended my latest read, titled “Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits and the Guru who Unlocked the Secret of Speed” by Matthew Futterman, which chronicles the coaching career of Bob Larson and the impact he had on helping to resurrect truly elite distance running in America, which had waned terribly by the 1990s after some golden years in the 1970s and 80s.

It sounded good, so I headed straight for Paulina Springs bookstore and purchased it.

Larson, a runner himself in high school and college, believed through his own struggles with injuries and inconsistent performance that there had to be a better way to train for races ranging from 1,500 meters to the marathon and he set out to figure that “secret sauce.” He began this quest in the late 1960s.

After four years of coaching high school runners he moved on to San Diego’s Grossmont College, a junior college, which before long,

unexpectedly last July 4th at Sisters Eagle Airport just to find out they had a lot in common.

Sisters resident Mike Macon was enjoying the celebration and was happy to have his 2016 Piper Super Cub plane with him.

He noted, “It’s a 1940s design of Piper Super Cub and it’s made with new material from Yakima, Washington.

It’s really just like an Alaskan bush plane.”

Lynn Woodward, singer and fiddler for the Anvil Blasters, was having a good time walking around socializing her young dog Pretty Boy Floyd.

“This event is hometown, its history and it’s fascinating,” Woodward told The Nugget. “All the pride and the effort, and it’s a Sisters tradition.”

Woodward left the present behind a moment to reminisce a few happy moments in her past when she attended the Sisters Eagle Airport Fly-in two years ago, shortly before her mother passed away.

“I brought my mom here, which turned out to be three weeks before she died,” said Woodward. “She had the best time ever. She recognized the old models of the cars back to when she was a child and

took her first helicopter ride.

She was a little scared but was absolutely thrilled. It was one beautiful way to cap off the last few weeks. It was really special and nostalgic for me.”

The crowd cheered as “Gyro Tom” Smith skirted across the sky in his gyrocopter.

“Gyro Tom is always out here at the airport playing around,” said airport owner Benny Benson. “Not a lot of people can fly them like that so it’s worth watching.”

Smith, a Sisters resident, is a war veteran and was a medevac helicopter pilot in Vietnam in 1969.

“Later on, I got my license to fly a helicopter up in Alaska for Evergreen. After that I got out of aviation,” Smith said.

“It’s been on my bucket list to get back into it and I have with my gyrocopter. It’s my toy.”

Smith purchased his gyrocopter three years ago as a kit and built over 50 percent of the unique flying machine himself.

The gyrocopter was invented by the Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva.

In 1921 he participated in a design competition to develop a bomber for the Spanish military. His goal was to develop an aircraft that could fly safely at low speeds. The result was the first successful rotorcraft, which he named Autogiro in 1923.

Smith added, “A gyrocopter, unlike a helicopter, has no power going to the rotor blades. That’s what makes them so safe. It’s a big disc like a frisbee and you can tilt it like you would a hang glider. It’s a weight-shift thing and it’s got one thrust propeller that pushes you.”

The Anvil Blasters play at Black Butte Ranch the next two Wednesdays.

Blasting the anvil at Black Butte Ranch The Anvil Blasters will serve up a slice of Americana music in two free shows at Black Butte Ranch on Wednesday, July 10 and Wednesday, July 17 at 6 p.m.

BBR hosts live music on the lawn near the Lakeside Activities Center on the Ranch. The shows are free and open to the public.

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and picnic on the expansive grassy area.

The Anvil Blasters are Lynn Woodward (vocals, mandolin, fiddle), Mike Biggers (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Jim Cornelius (vocals, guitar, harmonica), and Jeff Wester (vocals, banjo).

Pete Rathbun works the soundboard.

The songs of the Anvil Blasters are peopled with border renegades and desert dreamers, poets and pirates and ghosts of the old, weird America. It’s a rollicking recipe of gunpowder, twang and tequila that has earned The Anvil Blasters a loyal following across Central Oregon.

The name of the band comes from Wester’s background as a renowned blacksmith. The tradition of “blasting the anvil” has deep roots in rural America, where at festive gatherings people — who may or may not have been getting into the whiskey

— would blow an anvil sky high with a stout charge of black powder. The anvil makes a ringing sound as it flies sometimes hundreds of feet into the air in a cloud of white smoke. There are videos of anvil blasting on YouTube.

“No anvils are harmed in Anvil Blasters’ shows,” Cornelius said. “We’re looking forward to kicking off our summer at Black Butte Ranch. These are fun gigs in a beautiful atmosphere.

Outdoors in the summertime is our favorite way to play.”

running include three books

by John L. Parker. His first book “Once a Runner,” published way back in 1978, is considered a classic in the running community. The story follows young Quentin Cassidy’s journey to the upper echelons of racing the mile on the track. Parker waited many years to write a sequel, “Again to Carthage,” which finds an older Cassidy rekindling his competitive fire, this time at the marathon distance. Parker’s third book, published in 2015, is a prequel called “Racing the Rain,” letting the reader meet the teenaged Cassidy. I recommend reading this “trilogy” in the order they were published.

A pair of books with foundations in Oregon include Tom Jordan’s Pre, which was written following the tragic death of Steve Prefontaine, the University of Oregon runner who became an American running icon in the 1970s thanks to his ferocious approach to racing, which made him basically unbeatable in America.

He helped cement Oregon’s Hayward Field in Eugene

as the centerpiece of what is now considered “Track City USA.” On a side note, Hayward Field’s renovation is expected to be complete by May 2020 and will be the site of the 2021 WORLD Track and Field Championships, which have never been held on American soil.

Hayward Field and Steve Prefontaine cannot be mentioned without including Bill Bowerman, the long-time University of Oregon coach and co-founder of Nike.

Reading “Bowerman and the Men of Oregon” by Kenny Moore is a tremendous closeup look at the man and the history he created here in Oregon.

My final book to suggest for now is one I have heard a lot about, but have not yet read. It’s called “Running Home: A Memoir,” by Katie Arnold. Arnold explores

the healing power of running, particularly in dealing with grief after her father’s death. Arnold takes to running trails and eventually becomes an ultra-distance runner.

I have read my share of running-related books and have noticed most are written about male runners. I am still waiting for some writer to come up with either a novel or a well-written biography with a woman runner as the main character.

Maybe that will be on next summer’s suggested reading list.

Commentary...

Be alert to elder abuse — Part II

By Betsy Leight-Johnson Correspondent

This is Part 2 of a multipart series on Elder Abuse Awareness, intended to raise community awareness and to provide resources for individuals who are themselves vulnerable or are caregivers, family or friends of vulnerable people.

The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) has Adult Protective Service (APS) offices statewide to coordinate and conduct abuse investigations and provide services to reports of neglect and abuse of vulnerable adults, including: adults over the age of 65, adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities, adults with mental illness, and children receiving residential treatment services.

Abuse, as it applies to the elderly or disabled, means any of the following: physical abuse, neglect, verbal or emotional abuse, financial exploitation, sexual abuse, involuntary seclusion, and wrongful use of physical or chemical restrain of an adult.

Investigators look for evidence of fraud, undue influence, bullying, and/or a secretive or confidential relationship as factors in elder abuse. Marion County’s Court Visitor Manual provides that these factors, in combination with one or more of the following suspect circumstances, are to be included in a court visitor’s report when discovered: • Haste or secrecy in the preparation of documents or plan • Seclusion of or restricted access to the person • An unexplained change in the person’s attitude toward those he had previously expressed affection for • Lack of independent or objective advice • Participation by the alleged perpetrator in the preparation of the document • A discrepancy or lack of continuity from prior plan • Unnatural or unjust gift or grant of authority • The mental or physical condition of the person making him/her susceptible to influence.

Verbal and emotional abuse are often underlying aspects of other types of abuse. For example, a victim of financial or physical abuse may be threatened or bullied not to report “or else” there will be consequences (i.e., more abuse, being “sent to a home,” never seeing a loved one again, or making someone “miserable for the rest of

their lives”).

Oregon law lists a number of occupations/individuals who are mandatory reporters for elder abuse, which includes various medical providers (physicians, dentists, audiologists, optometrists, chiropractors, therapists, nursing staff, etc.), peace officers, clergy, firefighters and EMTs. However, it does not include bank employees.

Oregon’s DHS works with the Oregon Bankers Association to provide a training kit for bank employees. The most recent 2018 kit includes some of the following patterns for financial abuse: Women were twice as likely to fall victim of elder financial abuse as were men with most victims between ages 80 and 89, living alone, and requiring some level of help with either health care or home maintenance.

Financial abuse often goes hand in hand with other types of abuse such as verbal/emotional and neglect of care.

Family members are the most common perpetrators of financial exploitation (59 percent of the time in 2013 Oregon cases). One in every six cases of substantiated financial abuse in Oregon is perpetrated by someone improperly using power of attorney or other form of fiduciary responsibility.

Beyond a power of attorney, vulnerable individuals can have a court-appointed

conservator (for financial matters) or guardian (for all matters) to protect and assist them in managing themselves and their assets. It is highly recommended to seek legal advice in sorting out the most appropriate legal tools to use and when to use them.

If you become aware of signs that a person over 65 (or a person with disabilities of any age) is being abused, report it and let the authorities investigate. Protect any evidence you may have and call the toll-free abuse hotline at 800-503-SAFE or by calling local law enforcement in the county where the abuse occurred. If you report elder abuse in good faith, the law will protect you from being sued by the alleged abuser if you are mistaken.

D r. B e t s y L e i g h t y Johnson has a PhD in Human Services with a specialization in Social and Community Services. In September 2014, the author and her husband discovered his (then) 96-year-old mother had been the victim of financial elder abuse.

They were very involved in the collection of evidence assisting in the felony prosecution of the victim’s daughter for the crime. Since that time, the author has become an elder abuse advocate, currently assisting the Deschutes County District Attorney’s office with elder abuse cases.

CHALLENGE: Founder says creativity overflows in quilts Continued from page 1

the patriotism here in Sisters, Oregon,” she told The Nugget.

The prompt for the challenge sent her digging into her stash of patterns.

“I’ve had that pattern for about 20 years,” she said. “I looked at that and thought how blessed I am to live in a country that allows me to live so bountifully… I am a person of faith, and I thank God and my country for the privilege of living bountifully.”

This is Inman’s third challenge quilt.

She notes that “quilters are artists who use a different medium — who use cloth as a medium.” She says that quilting satisfies her “passion for color.”

The quilt’s impact surprised Inman — but it is representative of what Quilt Show founder Jean WellsKeenan considers an exceptional group of challenge quilts.

“The quilts and the individual stories were outstanding,” she told The Nugget.

at Stitchin’ Post. Two of the quilts were made by Jean’s grandchildren who work at the store during the show.

“Every quilt was unique, and many were original designs,” Wells reported.

“The creativity was overflowing at this annual event.”

Becky Van Verst, who has worked at Stitichin’ Post for five years, took a break from assembling display racks at Sisters High School during the week-long Quilters’ Affair class series to describe her challenge quilt.

“It’s fun to come up with something that relates to the theme,” she said.

She hit upon the theme of “Bountiful Persistence” to pay tribute to hummingbirds that built a nest on the top of a wind chime in her yard. No matter how much they were buffeted, the hummingbirds would not be deterred. They persisted.

Van Verst noted Stitchin’ Post owner Valori Wells allowed her to use the new shop logo in the quilt.

Wendy Bachmeier has been working at Stitchin’ Post for one year — and she had never finished a quilt before taking on the challenge.

She admits that she misunderstood the theme.

“I thought it was ‘Abundant Life,’” she said.

“That was a phrase that Jesus used — that he would give us life and we would live abundantly.”

Though she’s a new quilter, Bachmeier is a veteran

The panels depict the failure of a seed to thrive — until it is planted in good soil.

“The seed gets sown in good soil and it grows,” Bachmaeier said.

For her, the parable teaches that the good life is “not something that just happens out of the blue — we have to work on it.”

Bachmeier worked hard on her creation — putting in far more hours than anticipated working the technical aspects

to get details right.

“It’s not a typical first quilt,” Wells said. “What Wendy has going for her is she already has that artistic sense of balance and composition.”

Wells noted that the 27-quilt array is the largest ever provided for the challenge. The staff created a map to guide the installation.

“We try to plan colors and stuff so they look good together,” she said.

Stitchin’ Post Employee Quilt Challenge quilts can be viewed throughout the day on July 13, on the east face of the quilt shop at the corner of Cascade Avenue and Oak Street in downtown Sisters.

RESCUE: Injuries have been frequent in backcountry Continued from page 1

Sheriff’s Office was notified and activated their search and rescue team — The Camp Sherman Hasty Team. The Hasty Team was able to contact the injured hiker by cell phone and determine that he would not be able to move from his location on his own for medical treatment. The Hasty Team coordinated resources and hiked from the Cabot Lake Trailhead eight miles to the injured hiker’s location.

“The trail conditions at higher elevations this time of year are still snow-covered in spots, making navigation difficult,” Pond reported.

The injured hiker was still accompanied by the two Good Samaritan hikers.

A medical assessment was made by the Hasty Team, who

determined that a helicopter was needed to safely recover the hiker and get him to the hospital. The Hasty Team remained with the injured hiker overnight until an Oregon National Guard helicopter was able to respond in the morning and take the man to the hospital.

In a separate incident, Deschutes County Search and Rescue retrieved an injured woman on the South Sister Trail on Thursday, July 4.

DCSO SAR coordinator Lt. Bryan Husband reported that at about 1:08 p.m., 911 Dispatch received a report from Brian Gray, that his wife, Jennifer Gray 45, of Portland, had just sustained a non-life-threatening injury while hiking on the South Sister trail. The Grays were at approximately 8,100 feet elevation. The injured woman was unable to hike any further. Other hikers in the area stopped to assist the couple until rescuers arrived.

Two Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office Deputies and 14 DCSO search and rescue volunteers responded to assist. Two DCSO SAR volunteers responded to AirLink, which was able to get SAR volunteers into the area of the injured subject quickly. Four DCSO SAR volunteers responded to the Mt. Bachelor parking lot in case they needed to be shuttled up the mountain as well.

Six DCSO SAR volunteers responded to the Devils Lake trailhead and began hiking up the South Sister trail to the injured subject.

AirLink was able to fly DCSO SAR volunteers to a location in close proximity to Gray and her group. DCSO SAR volunteers made contact with Mrs. Gray and her group at approximately 3:38 p.m.,

Judge to rule on blocking grazing permit renewal July 17 PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Three environmental groups have rejected a government offer to further limit but allow some grazing by Oregon ranchers who were convicted of intentionally setting fires on public land.

The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports the Western Watersheds Project, the Center for Biological Diversity and Wildearth Guardians rejected the offer Friday.

They then requested that a judge ban Hammond Ranches Inc. from grazing cattle on two government allotments while they contest

the ranchers’ 10-year grazing permit.

Wildlife, ecology and rangeland experts for both sides gave testimony about whether grazing would harm sage grouse and redband trout in the Steens Mountain area.

Harney County rancher Dwight Hammond Jr. and son Steven Hammond listened to the federal hearing in Portland but didn’t participate.

U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon said he’ll rule by July 17 whether to grant a preliminary injunction and further halt Hammond livestock from grazing on the two allotments.

further stabilizing her. DCSO SAR volunteers, with the assistance of the group on scene, carried Gray to the awaiting AirLink helicopter, which transported her to St. Charles Hospital in Bend for further medical treatment.

DCSO SAR volunteers hiked with the remaining group back down to the Devils Lake trailhead.

“The Deschutes County

Sheriff’s Office would like to thank AirLink for their assistance with this rescue,” Lt. Husband stated. “Without their assistance, the response time to Mrs. Gray’s location would have been considerably longer, potentially leading to further medical problems.”

The Sheriff ’s Office reminds those traveling in the backcountry at this time

of year to prepare for all different types of trail conditions (dirt, snow, ice) and all different types of weather conditions (sun, rain, sleet, snow).

Always travel with the 10 essentials: navigation device, sun protection, extra clothing, extra food, extra water, light source, first aid supplies, multi-tool, emergency shelter and a way to start a warming fire.

NEEDLEPOINTS: Folk artist is considered national treasure

By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service

Continued from page 3

Show’s executive director, said, “I am super excited to offer an additional type of fiber art. I love the historical context, the simplicity and bright colors, and being able to share them with our quilting community.”

Although she spent her life in poverty, Clementine Hunter never considered herself to be poor. She was born at the Hidden Hill Plantation, thought to be the inspiration for “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” She worked in the fields there, and at first when her family moved to Melrose Plantation.

In the 1920s, she began working in the plantation house at Melrose, cooking and doing laundry.

Cammie Henry, the woman who owned Melrose, loved the arts, and she hosted artists and writers from all over the country. After one visit, New Orleans artist Alberta Kinsey left behind some brushes and tubes of paint. Hunter picked them up and, it’s said, created her first painting on an old window shade.

Clementine Hunter had two husbands and seven children. She never learned to read or write, but she did sign her work with her initials, CH, and sometimes the C is backwards. Each needlepoint

includes the initials just as Hunter made them.

During her lifetime, she was the first African American artist to have a show at the Delgado Museum, now called the New Orleans Museum of Art, but because of the laws in effect then, she could not attend. President Jimmy Carter invited her to the White House, but she declined because she didn’t like to travel outside of Louisiana.

Northwestern State University of Louisiana made her an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts in 1986, and Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards designated her as an honorary colonel.

Clementine Hunter lived to be 101, and she painted nearly every day until she became too sick. It’s impossible to know exactly how many paintings she did, but it’s somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000.

She died on January 1, 1988, and is buried at St. Augustine Catholic Church Cemetery in Natchitoches.

New law: Farmers, ranchers have immunity in fire fights SALEM (AP) — A law passed by the Oregon Legislature gives farmers and ranchers immunity from liability while fighting dangerous wildfires, such as the one that chewed through acres of wheat fields and grasslands last year, a newspaper reported Friday.

The law is similar to one that prevents bystanders from being sued if they try to help during an emergency, The Capitol Press reported.

Gov. Kate Brown signed the bill June 18 at a ceremony with the Oregon Wheat Growers League.

Wheat farmers were the first to respond to the rapidly spreading fire and used their disc plows and water trucks to slow it down before any firefighters arrived. The blaze destroyed 122 square miles of dry wheat fields and grasslands, and was devastating for wheat farmers in wind-whipped north-central Oregon.

Its sponsor, Sen. Bill

Hansell, a Republican from Athena, Oregon, said the farmers who used their plows to create dirt firebreaks around homes and small communities were critical in slowing the flames.

The fire might have devastated the nearby small cities of Moro and Grass Valley, similar to Paradise, California, if not for them, he said.

“Farmers have been doing this ever since we began raising wheat,” said Hansell, whose family runs a wheat farm in Umatilla County.

One farmer, 64-year-old John Ruby, died trying to protect his neighbor’s home from the fire. That raised concerns about potential liability for farmers and residents in a similar situation.

The new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2020, says that a person who voluntarily joins the effort will not be held civilly liable for injury resulting from the “good faith performance” of firefighting activities.

device to get traffic from one side of town to the other without going through town, we need to learn to live with it.

A few tips: Pedestrians: Act like you want to cross the street. If you stand looking at your phone or having a conversation with your buddy nobody’s going to stop for you. If you don’t intend to cross the street right now, don’t stand near the crosswalk. Drivers don’t have to stop unless you’re in the crosswalk.

Most folks are good (unless they’re looking at their phones), so act like you want to cross the street.

Cyclists: You’re not pedestrians. The new law says you can treat stop-signs as yieldsigns (congrats!), but as long as you’re astride your bike you’re just another vehicle. All you gotta do to get across the road is to dismount your bike. Viola! You’re a pedestrian. Might even help some driver turn onto or get across Cascade Avenue.

Drivers: Learn how roundabouts work.

Don’t stop in the middle of intersections; if you’re stopping for pedestrians (or for any other reason), stop on your side of the intersection. Stopping in the intersection (aside from being illegal) keeps cross-traffic from going on their way.

Take one or two seconds out of your busy day to let on-coming traffic turn left, crosstraffic cross, or entering-traffic enter. Flash your headlights (instead of waving) to signal

31

that you’re yielding; tinted windshields and reflected sunlight often make it impossible for the other driver to see your waving hand.

If you’re doing any or all of the above and the other driver or pedestrian’s not paying attention, move on. Did I mention learning how roundabouts work? There’s at least one more in our near future, so y’all better study up.

For all three classes above, it comes down to situational awareness, courtesy and common sense. I get as pissed-off as anybody trying to get through town, but the truth of the matter is that it ain’t gonna get any better; and with the housing-construction boom happening right now it’s gonna get a whole lot worse.

Just be glad you’re not the ODOT or Sisters Planning Commission person trying to figure out how to deal with several hundred more resident vehicles in the next couple years…

Oregon wildlife commission adopts wolf plan

VOGELGESANG: Calling Sisters home is about quality of life Continued from page 3

eventually returned to the hometown they loved and Lena was able to spend her junior and senior years once again at Sisters High School.

Being back home felt good, however Lena knew that she would again have to leave when it was time for college.

After graduating, Lena headed back to Colorado Springs to pursue her higher education. Small-town life didn’t quite prepare Lena for the differences in a bigger world, however she feels it gave her an anchor that would later provide clarity on what is most important. It was here that Lena met Chris Vogelgesang; the man who became her best friend and husband. As the newlyweds planned their future, which included starting a family, Sisters seemed like the best place to settle. Lena would once again be able to return home.

Living in any small town has its challenges, and for a young couple just starting out, limited job opportunities and housing can create difficult roadblocks. Add in high cost of living and it can seem almost impossible.

Impossible, unless you are determined, connected and committed to raising a family where quality of life abounds.

Lena and Chris found a way six years ago, and it wasn’t long after the decision to move that they learned they were “expecting.” That first year was unimaginable.

Moving between six different homes and working multiple jobs became the norm.

Lena’s family and relationships within the community definitely helped, but they had to be willing to move repeatedly and be open to different types of jobs that would sustain them.

After Liam was born, Lena and Chris prayed for stability and a place they could call their long-term home. Prayers were answered when they were offered an opportunity to buy the home they were renting; the sixth residence in that first year would become their own.

The Vogelgesang family has grown to four, and everyone is enjoying a lifestyle that is rare today. Lena’s roots and family are here, enabling the boys to share daily life with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Life still requires strategies and multiple jobs, however Lena feels that “the opportunities definitely outweigh the sacrifices.”

As Liam and Noah (Chris and Lena’s second son) grow

Lena (Womack) Vogelgesang (right), her husband Chris, and son Liam are determined to make a go of it in Lena’s old hometown. up, they will experience what Lena did and come to understand their place within a community that cares for and supports them... and they will live a simpler life. Childhood will include unlimited opportunities to connect with nature, breathe fresh air and grow in a heathy way. It will also include a life connected to and caring for those around them, which is a family priority.

Lena is also excited to think of their boys one day going to Sisters High School and benefitting from the exceptional opportunities that exist there. Unlike the overcrowded classrooms with limited options found elsewhere, Lena envisions the

many diverse learning experiences accessible here: flying an airplane, building a ukulele — the offerings are big in this small town.

At this time of year, people who live in a small community are acutely aware of the inevitable rite of passage. It is a time of celebrating, affirming, letting go and experiencing hard goodbyes. However it is also important to remember that some who have left do return home, and some stay right here to build their future.

For Lena and her family, calling Sisters “home” allows for a rare quality of life and a future where tradition, possibilities and connectedness are beautifully interwoven.

SALEM (AP) — Oregon wildlife commissioners have approved the state’s longoverdue Wolf Management Plan after years of revisions, contentious meetings, an outside mediator and half the stakeholders abandoning talks.

The 155-page plan to govern how wolves are handled in areas of the state where they don’t enjoy federal protection under the Endangered Species Act was approved last month by the commission of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in a 6 to 1 vote, The Oregonian/ OregonLive reported.

Before several hours of public testimony began, Commissioner Holly Akenson, who noted her past experience studying wolves as a wildlife biologist, acknowledged the tension that surrounded the process, but said the growth in Oregon’s wolf population showed the state’s previous management was a success.

“We see a lot of concern

on both sides of this plan,” she said. “For someone like me, who has looked forward to seeing wolves living free on our landscape, it’s time to celebrate.”

The state’s first wolf plan was issued in 2005 before any wolves had come back to the state after decades of extirpation due to hunting and trapping. The second version of the plan came out in 2010, a year after wolves had been confirmed in Oregon.

The plan finally approved Friday came after hunters and ranchers, and environmentalists and wolf advocates squared off over when wolves can be killed, why and by whom.

Talks grew so rancorous over the years that, in January, the environmental groups pulled out of negotiations, calling the process “biased, superficial and unscientific.”

The latest plan revision has some key changes to the plan’s most contentious provisions.

The chipping sparrow.

Sisters Country birds

By Douglas Beall Correspondent

The chipping sparrow [Spizella passerina] frequents roadsides, bird feeders, mountain meadows and grassy fields across the west. The male guards the female as she builds a rather flimsy nest that often can be seen through and provides little insulation for its young. After 3-4 days of building, 2-7 pale blue to white, lightly streaked eggs are incubated for 10-15 days.

During the breeding season the female develops a bare patch on her abdomen that fills with fluid.

This allows efficient transfer of heat to the eggs. The nestlings leave the nest in approximately 12 days and begin eating seeds and small insects as a mainstay of their diet.

An early naturalist description of the chipping sparrow in 1929 was “the little brown-capped pensioner of the dooryard and lawn, that comes about farmhouse doors to glean crumbs shaken from

the tablecloth by thrifty housewives.”

Populations have declined by 38 percent between 1966 and 2015.

When in a group, chipping sparrows are referred to as a “tournament” of sparrows. For more images visit http://abirdsings becauseithasasong.com/ recent-journeys.

(producer of Latin Grammywinning social heritage project De Taitas y Mamas) and is guided by the distinctive percussive tones of the marimba.

This socially conscious project, based out of the coastal town of Esmeraldas in Ecuador and the city of Cali in Colombia, is becoming a symbol of Afro-Pacific identity. The story of the marimba is closely intertwined with the history of rebel slaves — known as maroons — who have made the region their home from the early 16th century onward. There is a celebratory feeling to this music. In 2015, UNESCO declared the marimba music of South Pacific Colombia and Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador to be Intangible Cultural Heritage. Taking its name from the river which runs from Ecuador into Colombia, the band Rio Mira is living proof of the rich history of South America’s northwesterly Pacific coast.

On Thursday, August 1, the bluegrass group Town Mountain will perform, and on Wednesday, August 21, Freddy & Francine will close out the summer series.
