Sisters taking a hard look at housing strategies

Moon over Sisters...

By Ceili Cornelius Correspondent

Students from Heart of Oregon Corps Youth Build Program will once again participate in the Sisters Rhythm and Brews Festival at the end of July. Laura Handy, the executive director of the Heart of Oregon Corps spoke with The Nugget on the program and its connection to the festival. The Youth Build program is one of six programs associated with the Heart of Oregon. It is a program based

As we contemplated the fact that 50 years ago, men walked on the surface of the moon for the first time, photographers like Brent McGregor got out into the country and shot photographs of an exceptional display of lunar magnificence over Sisters Country.

A report outlining strategies to meet future housing needs in Sisters is heading on to the Sisters City Council. The study results reflect the complicated questions that surround the issue of housing: Sisters has an overall need for more affordable and workforce housing and, at the same time, there is a projected shortage in acreage See HOUSING on page 31

Tagging incidents Local racer honored for under investigation lifetime achievement Graffiti has been spray-painted in several areas of Sisters in recent days and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is “actively trying to figure out who is doing it,” according to spokesman Sgt. William Bailey. The bridge over Whychus Creek in the Timber Creek subdivision was “tagged” about a week ago, and over the past couple of days, there has been graffiti at Village Green Park and on road signs along Highway 242 west of Sisters. It is unknown if there is a single perpetrator or multiple perpetrators. Sgt. Bailey encourages anyone who has information or who witnesses suspicious activity to contact authorities as quickly as possible so that deputies can contact any potential subjects. Anyone who has damage to property should contact authorities as soon as possible. Citizens have noted that Sisters municipal code has a curfew for minors from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., which is enforceable by the sheriff’s office. Central Oregon’s non-emergency dispatch number is 541-693-6911. The sheriff’s office also has a reporting page at https://sheriff. deschutes.org/community/crime-prevention/ reporting-graffiti/

Sisters auto-racer Erik Dolson is the 2019 recipient of the Wemme Trophy, a lifetime achievement award recognizing contributions to Portland Vintage Racing. Dolson was presented with the award on Sunday, July 14 at the conclusion of the Rose Cup Vintage Grand Prix held at the Portland International Raceway. Jeff Zurschmeide, a freelance writer and vintage racing enthusiast who sits on the board that decides on the Wemme award each year, said that Dolson has “been on the short list for several years.” He noted that, “When I said, ‘I think this is the year for Erik,’ everybody just said, ‘oh, yeah.’ Shortest meeting we’ve ever had.” The racing program notes

that, “Each year, the Wemme Trophy is awarded to a driver of great skill who best represents the ideals of Vintage Racing. Those ideals include sportsmanship on the track, craftsmanship in preparing the vintage racecar, and friendliness to the fans.” Zurschmeide said that Dolson, who has been racing since the 1990s, exemplifies those values. “Erik is one of the most well-liked and well-respected drivers in the whole scene,” he said. Dolson is a clean racer and a competitive one — always in the hunt for first place. And, Zurschmeide says, he is one of those who “is a gentleman on and off the track, respects the sport and everyone around them.” The Sisters racer — and See DOLSON on page 30

To the Editor: I just read the update from Sisters Folk Festival concerning the City of Sisters instructing the Deschutes County Sheriff to be more active in ticketing RVs/campers/vans parked on the side of the road (public areas) during the Sisters Folk Festival. I believe the citations will cost between $25-$35. I am sure over the years a few folks have complained, a few campers have blocked driveways and that for some areas of town there are more campers parked around than other parts, so there is understanding of the situation. However, I always thought it was so great that the City of Sisters let folks just park and be a part of the music festival, walk everywhere and truly become part of town. Volunteers (around 400) are often people that can’t afford a ticket and in turn really can’t afford a hotel either but come here to help and listen to the music. Obviously, all the campgrounds are full during that time, so personally I thought it was a great thing that

the City looked the other way and shared the streets. I think this year since there will be some enforcement, if you have a driveway and you don’t mind someone parking in it, you ought to put a sign out on Wednesday or Thursday before the festival and welcome folks to contact you for a place to land. Get to know some new people that love music and continue to welcome RVs/campers/vans to town to be a part of the Folk Festival. This music festival is special and stimulates the economy one last time before the summer comes to an end. Let’s keep making musiclovers feel welcome and offer up a place to land in town, I know I will. Change can be hard, and it has been a tradition for some people for many, many years — so maybe your offer would help one person navigate the changing times in a positive way.

Cory and I want to update our entire community on the progress and key next steps of our extensive Sisters Country Vision project. Why a vision now? As most of you know, visioning is a medium- to longrange plan (five to 10 years) for our community. The City’s population growth exploded 112 percent from 2000 to 2010 and is up 32 percent from 2010 to 2018. That rapid growth can affect many aspects of our quality of life, especially if we are not planning and working together accordingly. Without being proactive, we will most assuredly undermanage that growth and that could lead to issues that affect all of us, given our small and unique community. We take this very seriously and started the visioning effort in early 2018. We jumped at the chance to make this a broad, community-wide vision and concluded our input phase with over 2,000 participants, garnering thousands of individual comments and bold ideas. This input led to the finalization of 20 top strategies across four key themes (not in order) for Sisters: Prosperous, Livable, Resilient, and Connected. Each of these 20 strategies has sub-strategies, action items, and suggested lead/ supporting partners. The full plan document can be found at www.sistersvision. org, and I encourage you to read it because this is your plan! Keep in mind that this is a “living” document that will require updates as we move forward. There are too many people and organizations to thank for helping us get to this point, and we have created a summary Sisters Country Vision brochure that is available at City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and other areas around our community, as well as available to view on the Vision website. The booklet gives credit to many of the key participants in this project in addition to the entire public. Where are we heading

from here? We have formed a vision implementation team consisting of key public entities across the community. The team of 12-14 local leaders will navigate and oversee the execution phase going forward. This group cannot possibly execute these 20 strategies on its own – the goal is to branch off and recruit sub-teams that have a passion and expertise in a particular strategy and can help get things done. This effort going forward cannot be under-estimated; we will need many resources — both people and financial — to be successful. Realistically, some of the strategies may be deferred from a timing and priority standpoint as to not derail overall success by tackling too much at one time. We h a v e a l r e a d y achieved significant progress in certain strategies. You will be kept informed through the Vision website, public gatherings, potential town halls, and (like this column) periodic print updates. Cory and I would like to leave you with the most important message: Please get involved in this effort! We need your help and support, and you can truly make a difference to our community’s future. All of us have unique skills and abilities that can assist with successful execution of the various strategies. I am amazed at the level of talent and diversity we have in this small community. Many of you live here because of the unique nature of Sisters Country, and with your help we truly want to preserve that together. How do you get involved? The easiest way is to go to www.sistersvision.org and click on the contact link. You can also send an email to myself or Cory and express your interest. Our email addresses are on the City website: www. ci.sisters.or.us. Thanks again to the Sisters City Council for kicking off the visioning process and everyone involved to this point, and we look forward to executing the Sisters Country Vision with your help.

Film on Whychus Creek accepted to festival Deschutes River Conservancy’s recent film “Return of Whychus Creek” celebrating the completion of a nine-phase project with Three Sisters Irrigation District (TSID) to restore year-round flows to Whychus Creek in Sisters has been accepted to the American Fisheries Film Festival in Reno this fall. Over the past decade, DRC has worked with TSID and other partners to pipe the District’s leaking main canal.

Improving flows in the creek has been critical for migrating fish habitat and Sistersarea farmers now enjoy more reliable, pressurized water for their fields. In a news release, DRC said, “This story is a great example of what we can achieve when we work together to find solutions that work for fish, farms, and families.” Search “Return of Whychus Creek” on Youtube to view a preview of the film.

It’s a really wonderful time.” Children ran and leaped in circles, twirling colorful scarves in the air. People ate hot dogs, potato salad, and chips provided by Melvin’s and SPRD. Organizers estimated that over 200 people attended, with many repeat visitors from the previous year’s event. They noted that more families with young children attended this year.

The second annual Rhythm & Song in the Park event brought local residents of all ages out to share music, movement, and food. In a relaxed atmosphere, free of charge, musicians shared their talent and invited audience members to play drums, dance, and sing along.

Car show revved up downtown Sisters By Jodi Schneider Correspondent

Folks ready to rev up the weekend meandered down Main Avenue checking out the kaleidoscope of colorful classic cars that rolled into Sisters for the 2019 Glory Daze Car Show that was held in memory of Mick Hunter and presented by Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD). Mick Hunter, who passed away on May 21, was a key part of the car show for many years. Hunter’s 1955 Chevy 210 Del Ray was displayed for folks to admire. (See related story, page 24.) Boise, Idaho resident Michael Hunter, named after his dad, was stationed next

to Mick’s vintage vehicle answering questions for car enthusiasts. “My dad spent his life rebuilding ’55 Chevys and has had this one, named Ralph Jr., for over 15 years,” Michael told The Nugget. “He had names for all his cars. And now I’m caretaker and heir to this great car of his.” Mick’s granddaughter Brittany Meudt added, “I remember how we traded a Corvette because he had to have this 1955 Chevy when we were in Tacoma, Washington at car show.” Glory Daze Car Show, in Hunter’s memory, became a family reunion when children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces,

and close friends showed up in his behalf. Michael noted, “He was the pillar of our whole family.” Shannon Rackowski, event coordinator for SPRD, created a special award, “Mick’s Ride,” as the Best of Show category. Rackowski said, “Mick has been a part of the car show for years, and he and I had worked together on it for many years. The day he passed he called me and left a message which I will never erase. He told me he couldn’t make the car show meeting because he was in the hospital with some medical problems, but for me to carry See GLORY DAZE on page 25

Great Basin artists to show in Sisters The Great Basin of the American West consists of remote, austere expanses of desert and mountains. A vibrant and dynamic region of terrestrial and aquatic life 12,000 years ago, now, due to scant precipitation and slight temperature increases for subsequent millenniums, it appears as a fairly sterile landscape. This portion of the American West has always encompassed the area that is now the state of Nevada. One thousand years ago, however, this geographic region extended much further than it does today. The arrival of Westerners brought significant alterations to the watersheds and aquifers, reducing the Great Basin ecosystem from over 300,000 square miles to less than 200,000. Both the lack of precipitation and the subsequent locations of sporadic yet rich aquifers were the overarching factors shaping the awareness, lives and cultures of the First Peoples of these lands. The Northern and Southern Paiutes, Shoshone, and Utes occupied this area for several thousand years as hunters and gatherers, a nomadic lifestyle guided by the available food supplies. Elevation mattered. Lower areas with lakes were more hospitable in winter; higher elevations offered respite from summer heat. Thus, the people were intimately attuned to the seasons and naturally occurring cycles. The Peoples existed extensively, rather than intensively as occurs today. Utilizing resources that the land provided, they minimally

life of The First Peoples of the Great Basin, their cultures, and the natural world were woven into a seamless fabric of being. Today, dozens of towns like Eureka — along with the metro areas of Reno, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City — lay upon the landscape of The Great Basin and are connected by the grey-black lines of asphalt highways, some running east-west and bisecting mountain ranges through high, partially forested passes. Deep wells, irrigation systems, and dams have allowed for the creation of small green zones, havens for ranches with small herds of domestic livestock. Mining operations at numerous sites pierce into the ground, bring out the entrails of the Earth, and spread it about in heaps of tailings. Oil and gas drilling sites proliferate, adding rusting heavy-duty equipment along beaten dusty roads. Despite these dramatic alterations, descendants of the First Peoples remain in

Some are on small parcels of traditional land with the largest of the twentysome Homelands being the Pyramid Lake Reservation at 750 square miles. Not surprisingly however, many Great Basin Peoples now live in towns and cities, which provide greater access to supplies, schools, economic opportunities, and healthcare. Among the current descendants are professional artists. Some use strictly traditional imagery and craftsmanship in their work, others

combine these aspects with contemporary materials and concepts. No matter the approach taken, their artistry carries astute cultural understandings gleaned during simpler times.

Fourth Friday midsummer artwalk this week By Helen Schmidling Correspondent

Summer is in full swing in Sisters, with music, art, food, and recreation around every corner. Stay in the swing by joining the Fourth Friday Artwalk through the galleries of Sisters this week, sponsored by the Sisters Arts Association. Sarah Kaufman is the featured artist at the Stitchin’ Post Fiber Arts Gallery. Her favorite technique is the age-old Folded Log Cabin, designed in new ways. Her quilts are weighty wall pieces – not so suitable for beds. Her book, “Folded Log Cabin Quilts,” is now in its third printing. Clearwater Gallery’s featured artists are owner and longtime Sisters artist Dan Rickards, and the gallery’s newest artist, Aubrey Sloan, who creates functional stoneware with hand-carved texture and designs. Rickards’ latest work is “Adventure on Wonderland,” Mount

Art of the Great Basin Region is expressed through the relationship that the Paiute,

Shoshone, Navajo and Aztec People have with their vast high desert and its precious riparian environment. Rachel, aka Lighten Photography, is the featured artist at Good Day Cafe. She says that her images tell her life story, darkness hides, but light exposes; her life has gone from wanting to be hidden in the dark, to longing to be held in the light.

Fourth Friday to feature art from orphanages Sisters residents and visitors will see a new twist in the Fourth Friday Art Walk this week. A clothesline display of art made by children who live in orphanages will be exhibited on the green space between Clearwater Gallery and the Gary Cooley Studios on West Cascade Avenue. Fifty pieces will be featured in “Art From The Heart.” The unusual art display is hosted by Sisters non-profit World’s Children which supports 30 orphanages around the world. Support for the orphanages comes primarily

from people who sponsor a child through World’s Children. At least once a year each sponsor receives artwork created by their child. The charity was impressed by the range of subjects chosen by the children for their art and made scanned copies of the best drawings. On display at Friday’s Art Walk will be rural Indian village scenes, environmental concerns relating to deforestation, depictions of classical Indian dancers, and love between a mother and child.

“Just because the fate of the young artists is to grow up in an orphanage, don’t expect to see grim art,” said Executive Director David Purviance. “People assume a children’s home is a sad place with an institutional feeling about it. But that is not the case with the homes we support, and people will see that reflected in Art from the Heart.” The artwork is for display only; none of the art is for sale. The exhibit is free and music and refreshments will be provided.

Bend repeals local bag ban ahead of state law

and founder of the Great Basin Native Artists collective, her contemporary mixed media paintings offer images drawn from the consciousness of her people. Melissa incorporates organic objects such as sand and pinion nuts onto a canvas with acrylic washes to create a layered and dimensional look to her pieces. She states, “I view these works as a personal collaboration of my culture, individual development, and curious expression of the world around me. My intention is to share with others the beauty of the Great Basin area, people, and culture.” A renowned abstract artist in Sisters, Oregon recently said of her works, “They’re meditative, quiet, with a spiritual quality that is somewhat understated. Every piece has a personal focal point for a person, allowing them to enter the work. They’re really good!” Joey Allen, Paiute and Shoshone, grew up and continues to live in the Fallon, NV area. He’s a tule reed craftsman in the most traditional sense, as well as a local guide. The area of nearby Stillwater shelters lakes, where ducks have long been hunted. Like duck hunting today, decoys were traditionally used to bring the waterfowl closer to the hunters. Joey apprenticed under master Paiute Tule Decoy maker Martin George in the 1990s. This area, the Lahontan Valley, once held the largest lake in the American West. It was a major nesting area and flyway for the waterfowl of North America’s Pacific region. Joey’s decoys could have been used in the old days to lure in ducks; today, they can be either works of art or used as hunting decoys. Tia Flores has Navajo and Aztecan ancestral heritage. Her paternal grandmother’s family made their home in the Nevada Great Basin desert while her maternal side instilled within her the strong Indigenous connections to the Earth. Combined, it is these two ancestral elements that guide Tia as a pyrographer—an artist who creates images with burning tools. Decorative gourd art dates back 4,000 years in the Western Hemisphere as Indigenous Peoples used various tools and ash to inscribe and darken prepared gourds with elaborate, narrative images. Tia’s drum, masks, totems, and jewelry are

BEND (AP) — The Bend City Council has repealed a local plastic bag ban to allow the state’s ban to take over. The Bend Bulletin reports that the idea to repeal the local law was floated last month as a way to eliminate confusion between the local law — which started July 1 — and the state law slated to begin in January. With the repeal, voted on Wednesday, now in effect, local retailers will no longer be officially required to charge 10 cents for paper bags.

The City Council in December established an ordinance to ban plastic grocery bags in Bend after months of lobbying from a community group and middle school students. The state law, signed by Gov. Kate Brown on June 20, dictates that all retail establishments will not be allowed to provide single-use plastic bags, but allows retailers to provide recycled paper bags, reusable heavy plastic bags, or reusable fabric bags for a charge of at least five cents per bag.

An Outlaw Aviation plane apparently experienced engine failure and was put down in a cow pasture short of the runway at Madras Airport.

Sisters plane lands short in Madras An Outlaw Aviation Cessna 172 on final approach into the Madras Airport apparently had an engine failure and was put down in a cow pasture approximately 3/4 mile short (south) of the runway. Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins reported that the airplane was flown by a student pilot and an instructor from the Sisters airport. There was one other passenger on board in the rear seat. Sisters Airport owner Julie Benson told The Nugget that according to her information the student was from COCC. All three occupants appeared uninjured or had minor pulled muscle injuries, the sheriff reported. The student pilot and passenger were

transported to St. Charles Medical Center in Madras to be checked out. The FAA and NTSB have been notified. Madras Airport Manager Rob Berg is assisting in the investigation and notifications of authority. “Thank you to Madras Police Officer Slyter for his quick response and for his assistance in the investigation,” Adkins said in a Facebook post. “Jefferson County Fire and EMS were quick to arrive on scene, securing the scene and caring for the plane’s occupants. Speaking as a pilot, the flight instructor and student pilot did an excellent job landing the plane in the pasture and preventing injury and further property damage.”

The Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) offers two scholarships for Sisters Country families that participate in SPRD programs. The Bonnie Malone Scholarship Fund was created in honor of the founder of SPRD’s maiden organization, SOAR (Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation). Malone helped start SOAR with the intent to serve children after school and expanded the offerings to include preschool, and eventually other recreation programs for youth and adults. When SOAR officially became a taxing district in 1998, Malone served on the Board of Directors until 2010. This scholarship is intended to support families that face financial barriers and provide them with assistance so they can participate in SPRD programs. SPRD’s newest scholarship is the Lt. Chris Salisbury USMC Outdoor Adventure Scholarship Fund, created in memory of Lieutenant Chris Salisbury to assist children who may not otherwise be able to participate in SPRD summer camps, including the Jim Anderson Camp for Science and Nature, Survival Camp, and Summer Adventure Camp. Chris was an avid outdoorsman; he loved backpacking, skiing, and fishing.

CarFit is a free educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA, AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association, to help address safety concerns related drivers. Checking to see that you and your vehicle fit well together can be as important to your safety as a mechanical checkup. Trained technicians will be on hand to assess driver fit in the vehicle and make individual adjustments to find the best person-to-vehicle fit. These adjustments will help you to benefit from your vehicle’s safety features. The event is by appointment only. Contact Sharon at 541-390-6075.

By Brady McCombs Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Trump administration is proposing an ambitious plan to slow Western wildfires by bulldozing, mowing or revegetating large swaths of land along 11,000 miles of terrain in the West. The plan announced this summer would create strips of land known as “fuel breaks” on about 1,000 square miles of land (2,700 square kilometers) managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in an area known as the Great Basin in parts of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Utah. The estimated cost range for the project is about $55 million to $192 million up front and up to $107 million annually. Wildfire experts say the program could help slow fires, but it won’t help with the most extreme fires that can jump these strips of land.

Proper fit in car can save older drivers AARP and the SistersCamp Sherman Fire District Fire Corps group are sponsoring a CarFit program at Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Department Station 701 on Saturday, August 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. This event is available to drivers of all ages. Even teenagers can benefit from the CarFit program. Older drivers are often the safest drivers in that they are more likely to wear their seatbelts, and less likely to speed or drink and drive. However, older drivers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash does occur due to the greater fragility of their aging bodies. Older drivers are more physically fragile than their younger counterparts, and they’re generally less able to withstand the impact of a vehicular accident. There are ways for drivers

He possessed the same enthusiasm and love for life that most young people have. What set Chris apart was his sense of compassion; he cared for all, particularly those who were less fortunate. The U.S. Marine Corps furthered Salisbury’s sense of compassion and helped guide it in a more controlled manner. This scholarship was created in his honor. Lt. Salisbury’s father, Ralph Salisbury, who created this new scholarship in partnership with SPRD, said “Chris would be honored to have supported SPRD in its quest to educate and engage children in outdoor activities. We are hopeful to be able to expand support in other SPRD programs.” Anyone interested in applying for SPRD scholarships can access the eligibility criteria and application at https://sistersrecreation. com/scholarships/ or at the Coffield Center located at 1750 W.

Tales from a

Sisters Naturalist by Jim Anderson

They’re baaaak! By golly, this is a strange time for Pandora moths to pop out of the woodwork… er… soil. They were here in grand numbers back in 2017, and it’s usually five to 10 years before they appear again. Must be climate change; something is taking place in and around us that is favorable to this species. And another species is on the rampage. Over on Green Ridge, near Sisters, white satin moths are defoliating the aspen trees and the adults make it appear as though it is snowing in July. In past times, pandora moths were known as a forest pest, defoliating pines about every 20 years — which ruined the attempts of foresters to grow pine timber for lumber. But the native peoples of this region looked at them very differently; they harvested, stored and ate the larvae of these delicious moths, and as far as I know, some families still do it to this day. The larvae were collected just before they were ready to pupate, before they began their July migration from the high green boughs to the forest floor to pupate in the soil. They were/are gathered by hand once or twice a day, and temporarily stored in trenches in the ground. The larvae were then roasted in fire-heated sand for 30 minutes; the sand not only cooked the insects but also served to remove the fine hairs — setae — from their bodies. The cooked larvae were/ are then washed, sorted, and dried. Stored in a cool and dry place, they keep for

at least a year and perhaps as long as two. The dried larvae — known as piuga — are reconstituted before consumption by boiling for about an hour in plain or salted water. I’ve heard the boiled insects have an aroma described as that of cooked mushrooms and are eaten as a finger-food; the entire larva is eaten except for the head. (This reminds me that big brown bats who come here in summer and eat our Jerusalem crickets don’t eat the heads either.) The cooking water is also consumed as broth, or used as a base for a piuga-and-vegetable stew. Yum, yum… This also reminds me of the time I spent living with an aborigine family on a billabong near Darwin, Australia, years ago. My host’s 14-year-old daughter Daphne teased me as she was chomping down on the roasted wood-boring beetle larvae she dug out of the eucalyptus. I still get a funny feeling in my tummy thinking back on those interesting times. So… back to our own pandora moth larvae. I don’t know if you ever gave any thought to the process of metamorphosis — when the larva builds the outer shell it will change inside from a wiggly caterpillar to an adult insect that has the ability to fly and mate. (In butterflies, the shell is known as a chrysalis, and in moths, a cocoon). The adults emerge and then as they age their calendar of life triggers the recognition of sex, and the females begin to put off a perfume that today is known as a pheromone. Wikipedia says a pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside the body of the secreting individual, to impact the behavior of the receiving individuals. In fact, adult male moths go nuts over it, and can sense it from several miles away, especially if there’s a breeze

blowing through the forest. Way back, when I was a kid on my grandfather’s farm on Jones Hill Road in West Haven, Connecticut, I woke up one summer night in the upstairs bedroom to the sound of soft thumping on the screen of the open window. I discovered a cecropia moth outside acting like it wanted to come in the bedroom. I went and woke up my Uncle Ben, the naturalist of my three uncles, and told him about the moth. He rubbed his eyes, blinked and, throwing the sheet off himself said, “I don’t believe it!” I had to

jump out of his way as he leaped out of bed and ran back into the room where I was sleeping. He turned to an old bureau, pulled the top drawer out, removed a cigar box, lifted the lid and out flew an adult female cecropia moth. Yep, you guessed it. Her pheromones had drifted out of the cigar box, out of the bureau, and out of the house to get the male moth all fired up. Ben stood there in his BVDs exclaiming how he had collected the cocoon that fall on a trip into our kitchen garden. What goes on inside that cocoon after the pandora caterpillar drops to the forest floor and buries itself in the soil is one of the miracles of nature. And speaking of soil, you won’t find pandora moths in just any old place; they need the loose soils of a ponderosa pine forest to make it from caterpillar to adult moth — other soils won’t do. It’s inside that cocoon that the miracle takes place. Once the caterpillar buries itself to the right depth in the soil, it spins a silken blanket around itself and then dissolves into kind of a green soup — but is still alive. The

soup then begins to slowly reform into the adult insect. Laying there in the ground for several years, it goes from an animal with only stubby little legs to get around on, and a mouth that’s formed to munch on pine needles and with a gut to digest them and changes (metamorphoses) into the adult insect with three body parts, a whole new breathing apparatus, wings and a method to reproduce. With all that’s going on in our environment today I hope this cycle will carry on long after we’ve gone out among the stars.

YOUTH BUILD: Festival supports education and housing programs Continued from page 1

on leadership development, job-training development for youth who have left high school before graduating or face tough living situations. “Young people join from all over Central Oregon to be a part of a program that takes them in and teaches them development skills even if they face the barriers of poverty,” said Handy. Often, those who participate struggle with stable housing and affordable housing for their families. So, one of the ways they modeled the program was to have the youth help build affordable housing. “They get to learn good work ethic and they all get construction licenses and learn how to build,” Handy said. Heart of Oregon is its own licensed construction contractor. Youth Build has had a long-time connection with Habitat for Humanity, and so the program partners with them to promote affordable housing. “We receive lots of support from Habitat and the community for this program,” Handy said.

Handy is involved with the program because she sees the youth as an invaluable resource in the community. “I think the youth, especially those in need, are not seen as resources and this program motivates them to get out and provide opportunities for them in the community, and I have really seen them thrive and rise to the challenge again and again,” she said. One way the youth are able to get involved in the community besides building homes is through volunteering at such things as the Sisters Rhythm & Brews Festival. The organizers, Jen and Joe Rambo, had the idea for a festival that had community impact, as they had been involved with Habitat as well. So, they spoke with Handy about having a group of Youth Build program members be a part of setting up the festival and volunteering. “We love working with

Habitat volunteers help out with the event as well, with setup and parking and transportation of musicians. “The type of support the festival offers is essential to the funding of these programs through private foundations, and it is awesome to see local

Nutrition expert offers free discussion on boosting energy By T. Lee Brown Correspondent

What are the top reasons that people seek out natural health practitioners? According to Kim Hapke, ND, one big motivator is energy level. People want to feel more energetic. A naturopath based in Sisters, Hapke invites the public to join in a free, informative discussion on the subject, July 28 at Sisters Farmers Market. When people say they are fatigued or have low energy, “They are basically saying, I don’t feel as good as I used to. I don’t have the capacity to do what I used to do, or I feel bad after I do this activity,” Hapke told The Nugget. “It’s different for everybody.” What seems like “low energy” can be based on low mood or depression—or it can come from not getting enough iron or vitamin B-12. Many other factors play into the sensation of being tired and not feeling good. “I’m looking at people’s diets, recent stressors, what people have gone through over the years,” Hapke explained. Hapke’s discussion will cover several energy-making processes in the body, factors involved in low energy, and lifestyle and nutritional

support for the different energy pathways in the body. Hapke sees many patients who want to address their energy levels. Time-of-life changes for women, stressful life events for people of any gender, and everyday fatigue are common in her private practice, Meaningful Medicine. “We can address that through nutrition, herbal support, and sleep,” she said. In her talk, Hapke plans to focus on “energy sappers.” Nutritional deficiencies are common; so are food sensitivities. “Fatigue can be a common symptom that a particular food isn’t working very well for your body,” she said. Adrenal, mitochondrial, and neurological fatigue are

women’s fertility issues are increasing in her practice and nationally. “I’ll see mothers who are at year three, their babies are sleeping—they’ve come through a long period of sleep deprivation and adrenal fatigue,” she said. Gluten is another rising factor. “People are curious to know how gluten might be affecting them,” Hapke said. “Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is getting better researched, there’s more things to learn about it, and patients are interested in how that’s affecting their health.” Hapke delves into new research. She is excited about the new understanding of conditions like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia

Steven Peterzen — a life of adventure By Jim Cornelius Editor in Chief

Steven Peterzen has spent a lifetime saying “yes” to adventure. And it’s led him to extraordinary experiences across the globe. Peterzen, who has lived in Sisters for the past decade, is the founder and owner of ISTAR Stratospheric Ballooning. ISTAR launches and recovers payloads for scientific and technological experiments for agencies, companies and academic institutions. The recovery field operations are often adventurous, since flights are usually terminated in remote areas. Peterzen often works with locals, including native peoples in Arctic regions, to ski in and remove 10 percent of the flight equipment from the landing area. It’s all just part of the job — a very enjoyable part of the job — for a man who has spent his entire life engaged in outdoor activities from skiing to sea kayaking to climbing to sailing to cycling and more. Peterzen grew up along a creek at the Ohio-Illinois border along the Mississippi River. His parents were avid paddlers. “I started paddling, really, before my memory,” he told The Nugget. “We canoed and tent-camped all over. That just stayed with me.” Peterzen’s love of outdoor adventure early on paired with a passion for science. Along that creek where he grew up, he was constantly “turning over rocks to look at the insects and crawdads.” He was inspired further in high school in Clinton, Iowa. “I had a fantastic science teacher,” he said. “I did the summer camps, everything I could to stay involved with it.” Peterzen took up climbing at age 16, and hitchhiked across the country at age 20 to pursue that passion. He found himself owning and operating a guide business in Lander, Wyoming. That’s

when destiny came calling. A man called looking for someone with Peterzen’s skillset to be a support contractor setting up a field camp for a National Science Foundation/ University of Wisconsin glaciology project in Antarctica. “When he dropped the word Antarctica — yeah, how soon can I get there,” Peterzen recalled. His wife, Francie, and their new baby stayed in the log home they’d built themselves in Wyoming — an adventure in its own right — while Steven worked from October to March in Antarctica. “I was able to talk to my wife once (by satellite phone),” Peterzen said. The Antarctica project opened a lot of doors and a broad vista to Peterzen. Despite his love for science, he had shied away from a career that might confine him to a lab working on some obscure element of inquiry. This work offered him a different and more congenial path. “Here was all this science before me,” he said. And he didn’t have to specialize — any subject area was open to him. “I wanted to play with ALL of them,” he said. The Antarctica project led to work on an ice shelf in Greenland, drilling and setting off explosive charges to gauge seismic activity, and eventually into sending scientific payloads into the stratosphere with balloons.

The ISTAR website notes that: “In 1991, ISTAR began supporting stratospheric ‘Near Space’ research programs utilizing high altitude balloons. This first balloon campaign was directly in support of a NASA-funded ozone investigation over Greenland with a team from Harvard University. In 1992, ISTAR took the field management role of the NASA-funded stratospheric balloon program in Antarctica. “From 1992 through 2001, ISTAR successfully managed over 20 separate 800,000 m3 balloons from Antarctica and launched a series of smaller balloons. During that period, ISTAR also managed and led the recovery team of the payloads and flight hardware.” His work would lead him from Arctic regions to Morocco and a stint working in Italy with the Italian Space Agency. Peterzen’s value reflects a simple yet rare quality — he knows how to do a lot of things and has a knack for getting things done when the chips are down and the money is short. His skill set is very broad, ranging from a long list of wilderness skill certifications to heavy equipment operation and project management. And he’s a natural problem-solver. “You have this bag of tricks in your pocket that you can use to make a project successful without always digging into your pocket,” he said.

Travels with Charlie drive all the more pleasant. Not long after turning off toward Eugene, signs appear for Clear Lake Resort, which also includes the dayuse area. We pulled in to the still-empty parking lot and headed clockwise around the lake. The entire loop is just over five miles and includes smooth, fir-needle-covered trail, two or three sections of lava and even a short stint of asphalt. Those planning to do the loop are encouraged to do so early in the morning when it is cooler and the lake is at its purest clarity. Running shoes or lightweight hiking shoes are best since the lava section would not be something to navigate in open-toed footwear. Clear Lake is aptly named, as the water is crystal clear with hues of turquoise and blue. Since no motorized boats are allowed on the water, tranquility reigns. From the day-use area, we decided to travel clockwise (left) around the lake. Walk along the roadway briefly past the quaint cabins of the resort and pick up the trail within about a quarter mile. It is wide enough for two people to walk abreast, so if you are on something narrower it means you have followed one

By Charlie Kanzig Correspondent

As a lifelong Oregonian I have a deep appreciation for our state, and now that I am retired from my work as a school counselor I see more opportunities than ever to explore. This column’s purpose is to invite others, especially those not so familiar with what Oregon has to offer, to get out of town and make adventure on some day or weekend trips. Yesterday I woke up wishing for some fresh blueberries, so when my wife, Deirdre, asked me how I wanted to spend the day, I had a ready response. “Let’s go hike around Clear Lake and then drive on down the McKenzie River Highway to Vida and pick some blueberries.” After a quick breakfast and the filling of water bottles we headed west over the pass and took the road (Highway 126) toward Eugene to our first destination, the Clear Lake day-use area 33 miles from Sisters. July is the month for full-fledged greenery along the highway as the maples, alders, aspens and other deciduous trees are at the height of their leaf production, making the short

of the “fisherman trails” that branch off of the main trail. For young children or those with less mobility, an out-and-back is recommended. Go south (right) on the Clear Lake Trail about a mile and cross the bridge. There is a bench to the right that is a great place to sit and reflect on the beauty of the outlet of Clear Lake. Large firs, giant ferns and plenty of other flora line the trail, keeping most of the trek in at least partial shade. The trail does pull away from the lake at times, but beauty abounds. Noise from the highway is noticeable in the first mile or so but dissipates as you round the end of the lake. Eventually the Clear Lake Trail joins the McKenzie River Trail to traverse the far side of the lake. Terrain gets a bit rougher, including that sort of lava rock that seems to reach out and grab the toe of your shoe unless you are careful. A couple of brief sections of asphalt give some relief in this area, and as you near the Clear Lake Campground the trail returns to a more friendly dirt surface. The McKenzie River Trail intersects the Clear Lake Trail at the far end of the lake near where the aforementioned

Clear Lake is less than an hour up the road from Sisters. bench and bridge is located. The final mile of the trail is clear sailing back to your starting point. We took things fairly leisurely and spent a total of right at two hours on the trail, during which we saw a grand total of four other hikers and one mountain biker. We figured that going midweek (it was Tuesday) was the key. After a drink of water we piled back in the car and headed for the blueberry patch. Since we wanted to u-pick we chose to go to Redneck Organic Growers (44382 McKenzie Hwy, Walterville, OR 97489) near Vida, which is 45 miles further west on Highway 126. In addition to blueberries this farm features a variety of other fruits and vegetables,

making it a great place to stop anytime during the summer and fall. Within 45 minutes we had picked over 10 pounds of sweet blueberries to be used for freezing and baking, and it was time for lunch. We had heard very positive reviews of the Vida Café, which was just a couple of miles back toward Sisters from the blueberry farm, and were not disappointed. Since the café serves breakfast all day, my wife had a tasty California omelet “delicious, crispy hash browns” and I, uncharacteristically, opted for a burger, which really hit the spot. The drive home with the sweet smell of blueberries and the wind from our open sunroof capped off a perfect day trip.

Adventure travel in many forms

Annual PCT migration is underway in Sisters Country By Stuart Ehr Correspondent

One of the great annual migrations is passing by (and through) Sisters for the next several months. Unless you know what to look for you might miss it. Known around the world and popularized by the book and film “Wild,” the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) challenges backpackers from all 50 states and countries from around the globe to attempt a northbound (commonly known as NOBO within the community) hike from the Mexican border all the way to Canada — a distance of 2,667 miles, and complete it before the snow becomes impassible on the PCT in the Northern Cascades of Washington state. A smaller percentage of hikers set off southbound (SOBO) from the Canadian border, similarly, hoping to clear the SierraNevada mountain range before the white stuff falls. This year nearly 6,000 thruhiking permits were issued, a truly remarkable record! However, even on a good year, only one in four who attempt a thru-hike on the PCT will finish. On a bad year, such as 2017, when heavy snowmelt followed by raging wildfires fires closed sections of the PCT for weeks at a time, only 17 persevered and finished. “Class of ʻ17 was certainly a year of fire and ice. In Oregon we got chased off the trail so many times due to fire,” said Shannon Alene Hale (trail name Cloud; Grass Valley, California). By coincidence NOBOs (those who started at the Mexican border mid-spring) and SOBOs (who left Manning Park, B.C., in July), form a migratory bubble, typically beginning in July running to the end of August, as NOBOs meet SOBOs on the PCT near Sisters where the trail crosses the McKenzie Pass (Hwy. 242), and the Santiam Pass (Hwy. 20). If theyʼve made it thus far, NOBOs will have backpacked 1,900 miles, including 700 miles in the heat of the Southern California desert, and SOBOʼs will have covered 750 miles through the rugged North Cascade Range. The vast majority of thru-hikers choose to hitchhike into Sisters based on our reputation as a

hiker-friendly town and easyaccess resupply point. “Sisters was one of the friendliest trail towns. We went dancing at Angelineʼs. Super friendly and accommodating. Even invited to a family party. One of my favorite trail stops,” said Ella Raff (Red Riding Hood; Seattle, Washington). Added Stacia Dickinson Torborg (Fledgling), from Portland: “Loved Sisters! Bought a 50-cent T-shirt at the (Habitat) thrift store so I could wash everything else at the Laundromat. Loved that resource!” From something as simple as a 50-cent T-shirt to buying another pair of shoes (a typical thru-hiker goes through five to six pair during their hike) Sisters meets their needs near perfectly. They come to shop for food, fix or replace broken gear, receive resupply packages, take a shower (or three), do laundry, tend to aches and injuries, eat real food (and a lot of it), drink cold beer and possibly indulge in the true luxury of sleeping in a soft, clean bed, unlike many nights spent on the hard uneven ground. Sisters offers overnight accommodations at a discount for thruhikers at several lodges and inns as well as Creekside Campground that sets aside space exclusively for thruhikers and likewise offers a discount. Although some thru-hikers will take a “zero-day” (no hiking) some will come into Sisters, shop, do laundry, eat, and be back on the trail putting down more miles before sundown. “The easy hitch into and out of Sisters allowed me to shop for food, do laundry, take a shower and be back on the trail by afternoon. Loved that they had everything I needed, and I could walk everywhere, unlike bigger (resupply) towns,” said Sonja Schulze-Braucks (Spirit, Dusseldorf, Germany). Some thru-hikers will receive resupply boxes mailed ahead to Big Lake

Thru-hikers rely on the kindness of everyday people to act as trail angels, picking them up at McKenzie or Santiam Pass, dropping them off in town or driving them to the post office, Hike-N-Peak, the hardware store, or wherever they need to go. Local hiker Blanche Tadlock has been a trail angel for the last four years. As a senior hiker who has backpacked the majority of the PCT in Oregon, Tadlock knows firsthand the practical needs of thru-hikers and often senses the unspoken The easy hitch ones. into and out of Sisters “I love meeting thru-hikers!

Phone numbers are listed at PCT trailheads and online to help thru-hikers get rides to and from town and deal with special requests like finding a dentist or recommending a restaurant. Since some thru-hikers may be on a tight budget, trail angels may let them camp on their lawn, and offer laundry and a shower. Anyone can be a trail-angel but there are obvious issues to consider before you offer a ride or assistance to anyone you donʼt know: First, are they indeed a thru-hiker? Tadlock said it is easy to spot a true thru-hiker, “Theyʼve got the look and the gear. Theyʼll be in shape, very dusty and dirty, usually wearing a sun hat or bandana, hiking poles attached to their backpack and most donʼt wear boots, choosing instead (sturdy and lightweight) trail-runners.” Mary Bartholomew (Tinker, Los Angeles, California), said “Thruhikers have the most compact setup.

carrying it for weeks/months.” If you want to be sure you are talking to a thru-hiker and not a day-hiker or homeless person, ask clarifying questions that any true thru-hiker could answer without thinking. Are you SOBO or NOBO? What was your start date? Where did you start? (Campo, California on the Mexican border [NOBO], or Manning Park in British Columbia [SOBO]). Do you have a trail name (few wonʼt)? Over 99 percdent of thruhikers are wonderful people. That said if they make you feel uncomfortable just walk or drive away. If you are convinced they are a thru-hiker ask them how you can help. If it sounds reasonable, a trip to the post office maybe, great! A trip into Bend? Only if you have the time, gas and willingness. Often thru-hikers may offer to pitch in for gas. Sometimes a person may only be a trail angel for a few minutes, offering a ride from Rayʼs Food Place to the post office. The pleasure of meeting a

thru-hiker, finding out how they came all the way from Sweden or China or one of the dozens of other countries to arrive at this moment makes for wonderful connections and insights. Whatʼs it like in their country? What do they think of their thruhiking experience? Is it different than expected? How have your interactions with Americans been so far? The language barrier may slow the conversation a bit, but showing and extending hospitality to our foreign guests has its own rewards. If from another state, what do they think of Oregon? What did they do to save up funds for this thru-hike? What will they be doing post the PCT? On this unique human migration, costing a thru-hiker thousands of dollars and five to six months to complete, offering to participate in a small but important way in helping someone realize their dream is the real payoff. It may even inspire your own future thru-hike.

Sisters man runs Alpine 100 ultra-marathon By Ceili Cornelius Correspondent

Dirk Van der Velde, Sisters High School graduate in the class of 2012, just ran his first 100-mile ultra-marathon race. The race took place in the old-growth forest in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Van der Velde had never necessarily thought of himself as a runner until he started after his soccer career ended. He played soccer for Sisters High School for two years under Coach Rob Jensen, getting to play in two playoff games. He then went on to play soccer for two years in St. Louis and then two years at the University of Portland as a Division 1 athlete, winning two championships at each school. After college, his soccer career petered out and he struggled with where to go after that. “About a year ago I got into running, and at first, I was like ‘running and not chasing a ball,’ but then I started running distances that built over time and loved it,” said Van der Velde. He ran his first marathon and loved the idea of pushing

himself to his perceived limits. The ultra-marathon races were the ultimate reach goal. Van der Velde began weekend training five months prior to the race where he would do weekend-warrior-style races and up the distance he was doing each weekend. “I started running longer distances every weekend and then would also train at Smith Rock to train for the vertical elevation gain that I would be getting during the marathon,” he said. The Alpine Running Old Cascadia 100-mile race took place in the old-growth Cascade forest near Lava Lakes Snow Park. The race is set up where there are 13 water and food stations to make sure that runners have adequate calories and water. There were “bag drops” at miles 30, 50 and 80 where runners could change gear and re-group for the next section of the race. The marathon was 100 miles in a loop twice around the area surrounding Lava Lakes. The main part of the preparation for the race for Van der Velde was the mental side of it. He had three mantras that he came up with for himself at each mile-marker point he

was at. At mile 30, which is the farthest he had ever run, his mantra that he spoke to himself was: “begin with the end”; at mile 50, “show no weakness and turn pain into potential”; between then and mile 80, he was in a momentto-moment mindset when he’d have to be running in the middle of the night; and for the rest of the race until the finish line, his mantra was “you didn’t come this far to come this far.” “Those mantras helped me maintain a healthy mental state, as I had never run that far,” he said. It took Van der Velde 30 hours and 28 minutes to complete the race, running for most of the time with some hiking on the vertical inclines. Van der Velde said that “it was a surreal experience getting to run through the old growth and really be connected to what matters being surrounded by the intelligent trees.” Van der Velde was the only Central Oregon local to cross the finish line among 28 other runners. There were only two

Dirk Van der Velde took on his first ultra-marathon in the high Cascades. Now he’s hooked. other people from Oregon in the race. “I was pretty steady emotionally when I crossed the finish line; it was nothing like I had imagined,” he said. “My family and friends surprised me by being at the finish line as well; it was a truly magical moment.” In a race such as this, runners get to know parts of themselves they didn’t know they had, as Van der Velde

described: “I got to meet all these personalities of myself as I went through this race and experience.” Now living in Bend, Van der Velde works as the operations manager at Tetherow Resort. He is currently training for his next ultra-marathon race in Colorado. “I am 100 percent hooked and want to do this for as long as I can and see how fast I can get,” he said.

Fostering Community in Camp Sherman By the middle school students of Black Butte School NOTE TO PARENTS: This story contains material that younger children may find sad or difficult to process emotionally. We invite you to read it before sharing it with them. Students in Camp Sherman interviewed Sylvia and Leon Foster, a retired couple that helped build and manage Central Oregon’s iconic ski areas and resorts. In Part One, published last month in The Nugget, readers learned that the Fosters helped build the early chair lifts and facilities at Mt. Bachelor ski area. Then the Fosters moved to Hoodoo Ski Bowl, where they lived in the original lodge with their kids and their German shepherd dog.

The Fire

By Ace Chew, Weston Dean, Lily Henderson and Kellen Petke A fire blazed around Hoodoo in 1967 and destroyed the first double chair lift in North America. This fire became known as The Santiam Airstrip Fire or the Big Lake Airstrip Forest Fire. The lodge, where the Fosters had lived nearly 10 years, remained safe. The following year, another fire raged. This time, it wasn’t a forest fire. The lodge caught on fire while the family was in Bend at a doctor’s office. “It was the day after we’d closed for the summer,” Leon recalled. “The lodge was burning from the north to the south—it was a big lodge,” he said. “We had fifty rooms, plus a big cafeteria and lobby, plus a ski shop. There was nothing left but ashes.” According to The Albany Democrat-Herald, the fire was discovered by a mailman. “The blaze,” the newspaper reported, “fanned by a light breeze, burned the lodge to the ground shortly after noon Tuesday.”

living in Bend with my folks. My mother would go to Sisters and pick up the children and bring them home [from school]. And when they come laughing in the door in the house, I knew everything was going to be all right.” The Fosters described the fire as one of their most life-changing events. “It’s hard to explain—but I’d go to the laundromat, and I didn’t know which clothes were ours,” Sylvia said. “The children were all just wonderful about it. The only thing that they were brokenhearted about was the dog.”

The Community

By Audrie Niemann

Luckily, no one was injured. The Fosters had almost nothing left after the fire; they lost their dog and everything. “We didn’t even have clothes or tooth brushes,” their son Mark Foster said.

Leon and Sylvia Foster moved to Camp Sherman and bought the Cold Springs Resort in 1968 after the devastating fire that destroyed their home. When they moved to Camp Sherman, they had nothing.

“When the lodge burned we lost everything,” said Sylvia. “We were temporarily

“I was lost. I didn’t really know what to do next,” said Sylvia.

Leon said that he had wished that it was all just a nightmare and they would wake up and everything would be back to normal, but that wasn’t how it all worked out. The community changed their lives when they moved to Camp Sherman. “People just gave us so many things that it was just a real blessing,” said Sylvia. “One couple gave us a German shepherd pup,” Leon remembered. During the interview, Joseph Yoder, a 6th grade student at BBS asked, “How do you help the community?” Sylvia answered, “Promoting the community would be the best way, hon. Greet people, make sure people feel welcome when they’re here. Show them around, tell them they can go see the river, the head of the Metolius, and see where the river comes right out of the ground.” The Fosters helped the community in many ways over the years. Leon said

Making Art for Everybody By T. Lee Brown

“I love art because I grew up around it,” Rachel Sienna told Kids in Print. She is an artist who likes to draw. Recently she made copies of her black-and-white line drawings, and invited people to color the drawings or make their own. The artwork was on display at Sisters Coffee, on a large board. People of all ages joined in. A kid named Berin created their own, purple-outlined drawing for the board. An 8-year-old named Ellie made a multicolored flower design. Other kids and grownups colored in Rachel’s drawings

of Sisters Country sights like hiking boots and llamas. Every participants’ creativity became part of the art piece. Some people call this “participatory art.” Sometimes, art activity that turns spectators into collaborators is called “social practice” artwork.

She hopes that children will be able to have the experience of enjoying creativity while their parents get coffee. “Being able to create while they wait, to color something is a simple joy and freedom in life,” Rachel said. “There is such beauty in learning how to create and a joy in sharing it with others.”

Growing up, “I was always coloring, doodling, or drawing in moments of waiting,” Rachel explained. “It would calm me. It would help me concentrate. It would give me a calm blank space and then freedom to create something I liked.” Rachel placed an Artist’s Statement at the

We asked many questions. Scott Henderson, a 7th grade student at BBS, asked, “What is one of your most memorable moments from Camp Sherman?” Sylvia replied, “Camp Sherman was a very close-knit community when we moved in here. The people were just so friendly. The day we moved in, the lady that run the store, Mrs. Smith, cooked up a big pot of beans and ham and sent it over to us. And it was just a very warm and close-knit community.” She described Camp Sherman as “a very peaceful place to come. There’s lots to do: there’s fishing and hiking and it’s just a very safe, comfortable place to go. It’s a special place to us because when we first come here it was such a warm community and the people were so welcoming. It seemed to work out that we were meant to move down here.” Leon agreed. “This turned into a real positive thing, being able to come to Camp Sherman,” he said. Sylvia said the neighbors were really

nice. “I don’t know how many times our youngest boy climbed up to get the neighbor’s cat out of the tree — but if I wanted to find Mark he’d be hanging out of a tree someplace.” Sylvia said, “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed raising our children here.” We all were very interested in the community because we wanted to see if it had changed over the years. “I think the community has changed a little bit but not much,” said Addison Russell, a 5th grade student at BBS.

Health & Wellness Day on tap at Fir Street Park Have you ever tasted a rainbow? Delved into vintage kitchens? Boosted your metabolism? This Sunday, Sisters residents and visitors can try it all free of charge during Health & Wellness Day at Sisters Farmers Market. Farmers and vendors offer healthy, fresh foods and handcrafted items every week at the market. Recently, new vendors have brought fresh peaches, raw-foods desserts, local CBD products, and smoked steelhead trout. Health & Wellness Day adds special programs and delicious opportunities to the market mix. “Eating a Rainbow” is a tasting game taking place from 1 to 2 p.m. on the Songbird Stage. All ages are welcome to join Aude Gire of Seed to Table education farm for the fun. “Farmers market is a good place for cooking inspiration,” said Kim Hapke, ND. “To get something that fresh, it shows up in the taste and the longevity. The eggs! The berries!” A naturopathic doctor and consultant on nutritional and herbal supplements, Hapke will lead free discussions on

how people can boost their energy levels. (See related interview, page 13.) Each talk takes about 25 minutes. Join Hapke on the Songbird Stage at 11:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Three Sisters Historical Society offers a glimpse into old-fashioned kitchens and vintage cooking tools at their booth throughout the day. Adults and kids are invited to join in a guessing game. Tara Seymour of Life. Love.Yoga. will teach Easy Flow Yoga at 11:30 a.m. on the back lawn near the Chamber of Commerce building. Beginners are welcome and should bring sunscreen, water, and towels. The activity is free but an optional donation of $5 to $10 is suggested. Booths from Synchronicity Wellness, along with market sponsors Metabolic Maintenance and SPRD, will round out the day. They will offer samples of protein shakes and information about local opportunities to get active and support health. Sisters Farmers Market runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday at Fir Street Park.

A 4-H wagon train rolled through Sisters Country last week. Some 85 people and 10 wagons traveled 10 to 15 miles a day with a layover day when parents and guests can visit and watch the kids learn pioneer skills and have fun playing games. All the 4-H kids took part in setting up and taking down camp each day, and helped cook in the kitchen, serving food and washing dishes in big outside tubs. Every night campfire stories and songs ending with everyone tired and ready to go to bed early.

DRUMMING: Event is a communitybuilding effort Continued from page 3

from Earthtones Northwest in Portland. Earthtones provides music therapy and horticultural therapy for healing and wellness. Its founder and CEO, Jodi Winnwalker, lives in Sisters Country. One of the event’s coordinators and its primary MC, she brought a powerful, exuberant energy to the evening’s festivities. “We are all music,” she said. Rhythm & Song combined a festive atmosphere with an unmistakably small-town feel. Local talent and encouraging faces were all around, similar to the open mic sessions at Paulina Springs Books and the new talent show series at Sisters Farmers Market. However, Rhythm & Song’s approach to performance space and audience participation is unique. Musicians generally perform in the round, with audiences seated in a circle all around. Audiences are invited to sing, dance, drum, or otherwise become part of the music, depending on who is performing. At times, roles of participant, audience, and official performer blend into one. “The musicians who participated expressed that they really enjoyed sharing their music and engaging with the community in such a way,” said Winnwalker, a music

therapist and the event host. “Simply drumming together — it’s a most remarkable thing,” said Katie Cavanaugh, who led a drumming session. Drums and other percussion instruments had been left in a circle for audience members to use. Cavanaugh noted that everything in our bodies has rhythm. “Your walk is rhythm,” she said. “Your footfall is rhythm.” She invited women to join in a drum circle at her home, Harmony House, on the first Saturday of each month. For directions, interested participants can call 541-548-2209. Paul Alan Bennett sang an original composition about Pegasus, the winged horse, and taught the audience to join along with sign language and gestures. Fiddlers Sasha Stolasz and Melissa Stolasz, a mother and daughter duo, got many toes a-tappin’. AnnaMarie led drumming, and Kirk Olsen chimed in on guitar throughout the evening. Sisters Ukulele Group spiced up the evening with their singalong version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Shannon Rackowski performed beautiful hula to some of their tunes. Winnwalker handed her microphone to a little girl she’d recruited to introduce an act: The Silverado Quartet, an all-female a cappella singing group. They declared their combined age to be 285. Their barbershop sounds and crooning numbers brought smiles and applause.

Especially popular was their own version of the familiar “Mister Sandman, bring me a dream…” which instead implored, “Mister Schwan Man, bring me ice cream!” While many adults stayed seated, others danced. Some drummed, some hummed. Little kids wore themselves out during the evening’s final, irresistible act: “Fiddler Bob” (Bob Baker). Big kids alternated between singing, dancing, and running off to wreak havoc on the nearby playground structure. Winnwalker enjoyed “the whole scene of our community engagement through sound, color, movement, nature, and joy.” She said, “I revel in illuminating connection — especially those tenuous lines that we forget exist: the connection with ourselves, others, our lovely world and the greater power as we each understand it.” Rhythm & Song was presented by Citizens 4 Community (C4C), a nonprofit group “dedicated to furthering civility, collaboration and civic engagement.” Additional information may be found at citizens4community.com.

All ages and walks of life turned out for a community gathering at Village Green. Sponsors of the event include the Ford Family Foundation, St. Charles Health System, Coldwell Banker Reed Bros. Realty, and The Lodge in Sisters. Rich Hummel provided the PA system and sound support. Winnwalker thanked Paulina

Springs Books for donating chairs for the occasion. C4C listed their hosting partners as Age Friendly Sisters Country, Sisters Park & Recreation District, Earthtones Northwest, and Melvin’s by Newport Avenue Market.

Vietnam traveling memorial coming to Bend

South American sounds...

Jewkes takes reins for Deschutes Forest

The Deschutes Pioneer Association and the Deschutes County Historical Society invite the public to view the Oregon Vietnam Veteran’s Traveling Memorial at the Deschutes Historical Museum on August 3-4. Created by the Umpqua Valley Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Oregon Memorial Traveling Wall is a 24-by-8-foot wall, evoking the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Black center panels list the names of those killed in Vietnam and on the USS Pueblo in 1968. Side panels list the names of those who died in Panama, the bombing of Beirut, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The memorial names are updated annually. Viewing hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 3 and 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, August 4. A short ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, with Bend’s Band of Brothers presenting the flagline. In addition, Saturday features an all-inclusive high school alumni gathering for all Central-Oregon-area high schools from noon to 3 p.m. on the lawn of the museum. This gathering is free.

Holly Jewkes is the new Forest Supervisor for the Deschutes National Forest, following the retirement of John Allen in late June. Jewkes reports to the position on August 5. Shanda Dekome, currently the deputy forest supervisor, will continue serving as the acting forest supervisor until that time. Forest Service’s regional forester for the Pacific Northwest Region, Glenn Casamassa, announced Jewkes’ role last week. “Strong partnerships are the foundation of everything we do,” he said. “Holly’s experience, sound leadership, and commitment to this collaborative spirit will serve the Deschutes National Forest well and help advance the work we do in partnership with local communities.” Since 2015, Jewkes has been the deputy forest supervisor on the Willamette National Forest. Prior to that, she was the district ranger on the Crescent Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest. “I am excited to return to the landscapes and communities of Central Oregon,” said Jewkes. “I look forward to maintaining the incredible relationships and successes of the employees, partners, and cooperators of the Deschutes National Forest.” During her time with the Forest Service she has had

Remembering Mick Hunter through his granddaughter’s eyes By Jodi Schneider Correspondent

On Saturday Sisters resident Brittany Meudt contributed as a judge for the Glory Daze Car Show in honor of her late grandfather, Mick Hunter. The award for Best of Show, “Mick’s Ride,” was in memory of the man who was most passionate about cars and family. “My grandpa’s love for vintage cars dates back before they were ever considered vintage cars, and far before I was born,” Meudt said. “In 1965, when he was 19 years old, he knew he had to get a 1955 2 Door Post after he decided that his favorite street machine to watch coming down the road was a ’55 Chevy.” That year Hunter bought his first 1955 Chevy for $200. Time passed and the car stopped running, so he sold it to a friend for $35. “It wasn’t long after that he knew he had to find another one. He worked at the Oregon Trail Bean Farm for only $1.00 per hour. He worked six days a week, 16 hours a day in order to save enough money to purchase his second 1955 Chevy, ‘Ralph,’ for $250.” Hunter sold the car but kept coming back to those 1955 Chevys. He picked up a third, fourth, and a fifth ’55 Chevy and named them all Ralph. The 1955 model year is considered a huge turning point for Chevrolet cars as well as a major success. The 1955 Chevy had smooth straight panels on the sides and hood. This was a major departure from previous years for Chevrolet. For 1955, Chevrolet designed the entire car with the full shoebox look. Michael Hunter, Mick’s son, added, “Dad always loved the shoebox style of car.” Over the years Hunter purchased a 1955 Chevy pickup, three 1962 Impalas, a 1967 and 1978 Camaro, 1995 Z-28, 1985 and 1989 Corvette, and a 1984 Corvette roadster. “That man loved his cars!” Meudt said smiling. “And he loved his family. It was a blast growing up with him. We got to ride around with the top down in the Camaros and Corvettes. He’d randomly pick up the speed and we’d all scream out of joy, and maybe a little fear — but boy he really knew how to make us smile.” Meudt and her grandfather were nearly inseparable throughout her youth. “I guess you could say grandpa was my best friend growing up. He spent his time teaching me — along with my brothers, sister and cousins — the proper way to clean a car, from polishing the chrome to which towels were for the

body and which for the wheels (never mix those up),” she recalled. Meudt spent most of her childhood at her grandparents’ house, and during the summer they spent every weekend at car shows. “I can’t tell you how many mornings we’d wake up at the crack of dawn and drive a couple of hours to a car show,” she said. “We’d get to the show, get the car clean and show it off! I must have gone to hundreds of cars shows with him. How to tell the difference between a ’55, ’56 and ’57 Chevy was one of the first things I remember him teaching me, probably because his favorite car has always been the ’55 Chevy. I grew to love vintage cars/muscle cars and overall just being at the shows. But the thing I enjoyed the most was being with my grandpa. He was loving, compassionate, patient and very funny.” Meudt added that Hunter

his best friend, he would always find time to be present, to listen and just love. He put others before himself, instilled good principles and

morals in each of us,” Meudt said. “There’s not a person out there like him, a man loved by so many with a smile that could light up any room!”

GLORY DAZE: Event honored car enthusiast Mick Hunter Continued from page 3

on. And in his honor, I am introducing “Mick’s Ride” as Best of Show.” Smolich Motors from Bend, the main sponsor for the car show, brought new Jeeps for display. Rackowski noted, “The last few years the younger people asked if there could be Jeeps in the show. So, I went to Bend because my family are Jeep people, to see if they might be interested in the main sponsorship and would they consider bringing new Jeeps to the show, and they did.” From muscle cars to roadsters to rat rods to pickups, there was something for everyone’s taste. Highly polished engines that sparkled and rainbows of colored paint that shimmered kept enthusiasts busy all day searching for their favorites among the best. Sisters residents Duane and Debbie Van Cleave, who have been coming to the Glory Daze Car Show for years, brought a different vintage vehicle this year. Duane noted, “This 1954 red Ford F100 was all original when we got it. I completely stripped it and put it back together myself. Everything on it is mostly all original. Original 239 engine and it’s the first year they made the whitewash. We’ve had it about five years and love to drive it around Sisters.” The Van Cleaves won the stock category. Don Cort, 18, from Crooked River Ranch brought his beige 1966 Ford Mustang that he restored at age 15. “My parents are vintage car owners and my mom had this car and they had gotten me a 1951 Ford pickup,” Cort said. “But I wanted the Mustang. My dad had a Mustang when he was growing up. So, we talked and worked out a deal and traded.” The Mustang was in poor condition and Cort rebuilt the whole motor and restored the interior, paint and bodywork. He added, “I’m trying to start my own business, Custom Auto Restoration Service. Plus, I’m in the Marine Corps, the Junior ROTC in Redmond.” Truly having no boundaries, rat rodding is evolving into a phenomenon that has inspired heavy truck builds that look like something out of a scary movie. From a real stuffed bear baring his teeth riding

shotgun to a rubber hand dangling off the rear fender, Albany resident Matt Rossbac knows how to build a hair-raising rat rod. “My 1918 Dodge Brothers body sat in the rafters of a barn in Amity, Oregon for about 50 years. It was a lady at my church that had the barn, and her great-granddad had bought the Dodge in Kansas and drove it out here. But she doesn’t recollect how the body got separated from the rest of the car,” Rossbac said laughing. “So, I made a rat rod out of it and collected parts from everywhere.” He added, “There are dozens of things from the 2015 Mad Max movie “Fury Road” that I added to my rat rod. I got the bear at a swap meet and kids just love to sit in the car with him for a photo.” The Rat Rod category winner was Matt Rossbac. There were raffle tickets and items donated by local businesses. Warfighter Outfitters sponsored the

T-shirts. Rackowski designed the special “Mick’s Ride” T-shirts. At 1 p.m. the vintage car owners participated in “Start Your Engines” in memory of Mick Wayne Henderson Hunter. Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce event coordinator Jeri Buckmann, one of this year’s vintage car judges, remembered how Mick assisted with the very first Glory Daze Car Show. “He helped me start this whole car show. He poured his heart into making the car show happen and would be humbled by this tribute.” Sweet Home resident Mike Rice won “Mick’s Ride” Best of Show category for his purple and pink 1955 Chevy Bel Air. “I’ve had the car for about 25 years and restored it all myself except for the paint,” he said. “My favorite color happens to be purple and I had two of these cars while I was in high school and one was purple.”

DOLSON: Trophy honors skill and respect for sport of vintage racing Continued from page 1

one-time editor and publisher of The Nugget — told his hometown paper that he is “honored and humbled” to have his name on the trophy. The modern Wemme Trophy has been awarded to Renny Watt, Norm Daniels, Greg Baldwin, John Zupan, Tim Scott, Monte Shelton, Paul Ingram, Bob Ames, David Franks and Arnie Loynin. “The names on the trophy are names I’ve respected for years,” Dolson said. “To be on the trophy with them is quite an honor. There are others in the paddock who represent the goals and the values of the Wemme even more than I — but I am honored and humbled to be named.” Zurschmeide was instrumental in the resurrection of the Wemme Trophy — originally awarded in 1909 and named after E. Henry Wemme, a Portland-based industrialist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Erik Dolson in the lead in a 2018 vintage race in his 1969 Corvette. “He owned the first several cars in Portland,” Zurschmeide said. “And later he owned the first airplane in Portland, too.” Wemme sponsored a trophy for the third Rose Cup, Zurschmeide explained. “The race took place on public roads between Portland and Gresham,” he said. Bert Dilley won that race. As the centennial approached, the Rose Cup Committee re-commissioned the Wemme Trophy in 2009, with the orientation of the award to honor lifetime achievement and promotion of the values of sportsmanship and honorable competition.

Dolson told The Nugget that racing has been a kind of refuge for him, a community of kindred spirits that he profoundly enjoys. “I just go out there and race and try to participate in the sport that I love,” he said.

“That’s it.” For years now, he’s turned out for race after race, striving to be the best driver he can be, seeking improvement with every race. “I don’t need to be first,” he said, “but I love to compete.”

HOUSING: Issue is a complicated one for Sisters planners Continued from page 1

to meet the forecasted need for single-family detached homes. How do builders provide single-family detached homes that are also affordable, given the current land and construction costs? Those costs also impact the availability of rental properties at affordable prices. The Housing Policy Advisory Board (HPAB) and Planning Commission (PC) agreed on July 18 to forward a recommendation to the City Council to accept the Housing Strategies Report, as written — with the exception of mandatory inclusionary zoning and a construction excise tax. Both the HPAB and PC wish to study further the two withheld designated strategies to gain a greater understanding of what they would entail, possible outcomes, and the experience within other cities that have adopted such strategies. The strategies were the outgrowth of the recently completed Housing and Residential Land Needs Assessment, which was done in anticipation of an updated Comprehensive Plan. The strategies are suggestions for accommodating future housing needs in Sisters over the next 20 years. The report outlines 18 specific strategies the City could consider in order to meet the future housing needs of all types by 2039. Such strategies could provide opportunities for a wide range of housing choices, efficient land use, and development of housing affordable to people with low and moderate incomes. One of the strategies to receive further study, inclusionary zoning, is a tool used to produce affordable housing within new market-rate residential developments. It is typically implemented through an ordinance mandating that a minimum

percentage of units remain affordable for a set period of time. Large-scale builders are usually the ones who can handle inclusionary zoning because of economies of scale. Having such a requirement might make it difficult for small- and medium-sized local builders to build in Sisters. The Construction Excise Tax (CET) is a one-time tax assessed on new construction to help pay for other affordable housing strategies. State law requires it be spent on specific types of programs and activities. Thirty-five percent of all residential CET collected goes to the state for its housing programs; that is not the case with the CET on commercial building, which is also more flexible in its uses for housing and infrastructure. A factor in considering a CET is whether it will simply be passed onto homebuyers with higher sales prices on market-rate housing

in order to encourage the building of more affordable housing. The study indicated the City has a potential deficit of land zoned for residential use inside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), specifically a deficit of land needed for single-family detached housing. Possible measures to address this shortage could include: • Increase the efficiency of land use within existing residential areas through some combination of increased allowed densities, establishment of minimum densities, or allowing for or encouraging types of housing that can be developed using less land; • Rezone land from lowor high-density residential (multi-family) to lower density (single-family) residential use; • Change zoning on the U.S. Forest Service property in the city as some future residential use of that property is

Serving Sisters Since 1994

assumed, but the property is not currently zoned for residential use; •  R e z o n e l a n d f r o m employment to residential designations, assuming such a rezoning would not compromise the needed supply of future employment lands; and • Evaluate the need for a UGB amendment and pursue an amendment if warranted. The comparison of land needed for housing in the next 20 years and what is currently available indicates there is a potential shortage of land available for singlefamily detached housing and a surplus of land zoned for multi-family residential development. The singlefamily development gap or shortage is equivalent to approximately 395 units or approximately 79 acres of net residential land. The multifamily surplus is 172 housing units or approximately 11.5 acres of net residential land. If codes are adopted that

would increase density, the question arises as to whether that increase will fundamentally change the character of Sisters that attracts people to visit and live here. The public can stay informed by attending Planning Commission meetings the third Thursday of each month, Housing Policy Advisory Board meetings the second Tuesday, and City Council meetings the second and fourth Wednesdays. Documents are available on the City website, www. ci.sisters.or.us, or at City Hall.
