Aqua Hot Tubs
SAUNAS & HOT TUBS:
For a lot of folks, the change in seasons is a time of mixed emotions. It’s beautiful — but those cold temperatures can take a toll on our bodies. Lucky for us, Aqua Hot Tubs offers spas and saunas that can soothe away the aches and pains and enhance our well-being throughout the cold, dark months. In addition to state-of the art hot tubs and spas, Aqua Hot Tubs offers top-quality Finlandia Rock Saunas that allow you not only to warm up when the mercury plunges, but also to cleanse and purge your body of toxins in the time-honored Scandinavian sauna tradition. The saunas are built in Oregon and easy to install. They are also less expensive to operate and easier to maintain than a hot tub — there are no filters to change, no extensive cleaning required, and they’re not kept at temperature 24/7 like a hot tub. It’s a great option to weather the winter feeling wonderful inside and out.

Sisters Gallery & Frame Shop “Framing — it’s just what we do,” said Helen and Dennis Schmidling at Sisters Gallery and Frame Shop. Dennis, who is a fine art photographer and graphic designer, grew up around his grandfather’s picture framing shop in San Francisco, and has always excelled at woodworking projects. After a first career as a writer and editor, Helen discovered a love of and talent for helping others create the perfect combination of art and framing. The four most important framing components are the backing, the moulding (that material the frame is made from), the matte board, and the glazing (or glass). While the frame is mostly aesthetic, the backing, matte board, and glass all serve a critical function in conserving fine artwork. Whether you’re framing new art for your home or as a gift, or reframing a treasured piece for a new look, stop at Sisters Gallery and Frame Shop. Let them help you find the ideal frame for that will make your artwork truly shine.

Service... Bisnett Insurance
YOU!
Back in January 2018, Bisnett Insurance picked up the reins of one of Sisters’ most respected companies, when Don Fullhart retired after decades of operating Fullhart Insurance. Roger Bisnett and family took on the company, adding it to the roster of regional, rural, small-town agencies it specialized in since the company’s founding in Pendleton, Oregon, in 1980. Tammy Taylor and the long-established team continue to offer the same level of attentive, neighborly service built on integrity, trust and responsiveness. They review your needs and objectively analyze options from dozens of top insurance providers, ensuring you get the right insurance at a competitive price. Really the only thing that has changed is that there are more markets, support and resources available to serve clients. Bisnett Insurance brings quality people, resources and quality insurance solutions to the communities they serve — and that tradition continues in Sisters.

Hospice of Redmond
Serving your liquor & gift needs for 40 years...
During the month of November, hospices across America recognize National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Hospice, by definition, is a team-oriented approach to providing specialized care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury. It includes expert medical care, pain management and emotional support for patients and their families. More simply, hospice care supports living one’s life to the fullest with dignity regardless of how much time remains. In a recent national survey, most respondents agreed that expertise in keeping a terminally ill patient as comfortable and as pain-free as possible is the single most important service to consider when caring for a loved one and the end-of-life experience. This is the essence of hospice care, this is what they do at Hospice of Redmond. Every day, their family of nurses, home health aides, chaplains, bereavement coordinators, social workers, are all at your service supporting you and your family’s wishes for nearly 40 years throughout Central Oregon.

Each year, deer, elk and antelope shed their antlers, littering the floor of field and forest with one of nature’s most striking renewable resources. “Shed-hunters,” like mushroom-pickers, love to be out in the woods, driven to find that perfect specimen from a buck or a bull that can then be turned into exquisite art. And you’ll find an outstanding array of such crafts at Antler Arts in Sisters. The people who collect those beautiful shed antlers know that they can trust Jaimi and James Warren to give them a fair price for their treasures, based on a true scale weight.

Service... Sisters Fence Company
Sisters Fence Co. has earned a reputation for top-quality work on fences and decks across Sisters Country. The crew is also renowned for reliable, friendly and attentive customer service. This winter, they’re bringing those same values to bear on the critical chore of snow removal. Pat Burke has acquired a 72-inch snowblower that doesn’t merely push snow and create berms — it throws it out of the way. That allows for wider driveway clearance. They’ll also keep your walkways and roofs clear when the white stuff starts to pile up. Residential or commercial accounts are welcome. Contact Sisters Fence Co. now so they can come to your property, take pictures and stake driveways — all in an effort to make sure your snow removal is quick, efficient and safe, minimizing the risk of damage. It’s all part of an ethic of responsive service, quality work and a fair price.

“You’re in the right hands”
“After being told I would never walk again, Jason helped me recover and strengthen my body enough to compete in Ironman Boulder. He believed in me when other medical professionals wouldn’t. He went above and beyond in his care for me. The only reason I am able to run every day is because of Jason’s expertise, persistence and encouragement.” — A. Francis Such results are testimony to the power of Jason Gulley’s effective and gentle approach to physical therapy at Green Ridge Physical Therapy. PT does not stand for “pain and torture.” Jason works with patients to determine their goals and their lifestyle requirements, and devises a plan of care that keeps his clients as active as possible, regardless of age and injury. With a strong orthopedic background and leading an athletic lifestyle himself, Jason offers his clients life-changing help when the wear and tear of the Sisters way of life throws obstacles in their path.

Winter can be awfully hard on our homes here in Sisters Country — ice dams, leaks, and burst pipes can wreak havoc on our abode. Before the wicked weather sets in, Jason Rybka of Farmers Insurance recommends a critical review of your homeowner’s insurance policy. The key item to check is whether your policy settles on actual cash value (ACV) or on replacement cost (RCV). The answer to that question can mean a difference of thousands of dollars in a claim — and it’s not something you want to find out when you’re trying to get your roof repaired or replaced. ACV is based on depreciation, so if you have a major repair, the gap between what insurance will pay and what the project will cost can be a big one. Contact your insurance agent to review your policy NOW, before the winds of winter start howling, and make sure your roofing, siding and carpeting are covered at RCV.
