Holidays ’19 IN SISTERS Old Man Winter made his dramatic debut a little early in Sisters Country. We’re starting the holiday season under a mantle of snow, with Jack Frost nipping at our nose. Santa Claus paid his annual visit with the Sisters Christmas Parade, and the tiny tots — and their parents — are all ramping up for the season of giving. And there is no better place than
Sisters to engage that giving spirit — whether it’s presents for the loved ones on your list or a hand up for folks in need in our community. Tap into ancient holiday traditions — or create new ones of your own — in our own winter wonderland. You don’t have to drive the icy roads or trek into cyberspace to find unique gifts while supporting your local economy. It’s all
right here, and it’s more fun to hunt for the perfect gift in Sisters than just about anywhere. Our local shopkeepers offer a truly personal experience — a dose of holiday hospitality to go along with a selection of unique gifts. Sleigh bells are jingling and there is plenty of snow glistening in the lane. Turn the page and discover all of what your hometown has to offer.

Treat your Christmas tree to vodka? — By Kym Pokorny, OSU Extension Service — CORVALLIS – From vodka in the water to I.V. tubes in the trunk, there are lots of urban myths about how to take care of your cut Christmas tree. Chal Landgren, a Christmas tree specialist with Oregon State University Extension Service, busts those myths with answers to some common questions. Q. How do I know a tree is fresh when I purchase it? A. Choose a tree that looks green and healthy with needles that snap like a fresh carrot. Shake it a few times to get rid of old needles. Once you’re home, place the tree in water if you do not plan to put it up immediately. Choose a large, waterfilled stand to display the tree indoors. Check the water level daily; trees will be very thirsty the first few days inside a heated home. Q. Do I need to recut the stem after I get my tree home? A. Yes, if more than 24 hours has elapsed since the stem was last cut. The fresh cut helps water uptake, and the sooner you can get the tree into water, the fresher it will be. Q. Do I need to cut two inches off the tree base for it to take up water in the stand? A. No, cutting a 1/4-inch slice off the base is plenty for water uptake. However, clearing the ceiling is another question. Q. Do I need to cut the base of the trees at an angle, drill holes in the base or install plastic tubes so the tree can get water? A. No. Water begins the path up the tree via microscopic tubes called “tracheids” in the wood just beneath the bark. The wood near the outer part of the stem is very efficient in conducting water and becomes less so toward the center. So, simply cut the stem perpendicular to the trunk to maximize the area exposed to the water. Complicated cuts, drill holes or I.V. tubes do not help. Q. Do I need to add something to the water to help the tree stay fresher? A. People have added all kinds of things to water, including vodka, 7-Up,
bleach, aspirin and sugar. However, clean, cold water is all that is needed. Some additives actually can cause your tree to shed needles or dry out more rapidly. Q. Will any tree stand work, as long as it holds the tree up? A. No. A stand should hold a quart of water for every inch of stem diameter. A tree with a 6-inch stem diameter will need a stand that holds a gallon and a half of water. Very few stands have the capacity for today’s large trees. Consider purchasing a new stand, or a smaller tree, if the water capacity is not adequate. Q. If my decorated tree runs out of water, do I need to take it down and recut the base? A. No. If you refill the water stand within 24 hours of going dry, most trees (Douglas-fir, noble, Nordmann, Fraser) should re-hydrate just fine. For grand fir, 12 hours may be the limit. Of course, it is best if the tree does not run out of water, so check it every day. Your tree may not be the only one drinking from the tree stand – your pets may be helping themselves to the water, too. So check the water level daily, especially in the first few days. If your tree becomes dry and brittle, it may be time to take it down.
Chops Bistro Chops Bistro has been a local favorite for the last three years. They’re known for fireside dining in the dining room and providing live entertainment on the weekends in their comfortable lounge. They hit all the right notes with local Tony Lompa starting the weekend on Fridays at 6 p.m. and Bill Keale finishing out on Sundays. Saturdays are shared by various artists. The lounge has become quite the cozy spot to be. And the BIG NEWS is that in the newly renovated lounge, retail gifts have been added — wine, chocolates, nuts, gift certificates and gift baskets, just in time for the holidays. Chops provides a great atmosphere, wonderful food and a welcoming staff.

Council offers holiday This Christmas… the best celebrations for older residents Make memories with The Council on Aging of Central Oregon and local senior centers are hosting a series of seasonal celebrations for older adults to enjoy a festive lunch and connect with the community this holiday season — including one in Sisters. The holiday meals are free to adults aged 60 and older; a small fee is required for those under 60. Donations are welcomed to help support the program at a time of increasing need. “These holiday celebrations are essential in offering both nutrition support and social connection — and ensuring that our older adult neighbors feel remembered, honored, and valued,” said Susan Rotella, executive director for the Council on Aging. “Older adults are often overlooked during the holidays. Many are in need of basic essentials such as a well-balanced meal, and isolation and loneliness are rife among this vulnerable population. The holidays are a time to come together and support the health and general well-being of those at risk.” The holiday lunches include seasonal fare and decor, music, a raffle, and gifts for all who attend. Lunch will be served from 12 to 1 p.m. in Sisters on December 10, at Sisters Community Church, 1300 W. McKenzie Hwy. The Council on Aging is anticipating
serving around 500 diners during these seasonal lunches across the tri-county area. “That figure represents a larger attendance than last year,” added Rotella. “As the population of older adults in Central Oregon continues to grow, community meal programs are providing a valuable and well-utilized service.” Central Oregon residents are welcomed and encouraged to support the Council on Aging’s community meal program. To make a donation, visit www.councilonaging.org/donate. For more information about local events and resources for older adults and their unpaid caregivers, call the Council on Aging at 541-678-5483, visit the Council on Aging website at www. councilonaging.org, and follow the Council on Aging’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ CouncilOnAgingOfCentralOregon. A nonprofit organization, the Council on Aging advocates for, empowers, and guides older adults and their loved ones to live with independence and well-being in age-friendly communities — places where infrastructure, policies, and practices are developed to make the community liveable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of people of all ages, especially older adults.

Community pulls together in Christmas spirit
Volunteers are once again celebrating the holiday season with several activities including the holiday lights display, Spirit of Christmas gift drive and community Christmas dinner. The Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire & Ambulance Association (SCSFAAA) is sponsoring the annual “Spirit of Christmas Giving Tree” to provide Christmas gifts to families in need in Sisters Country this holiday season. “We expect to serve close to 250 families,” said Julie Spor, district public affairs specialist. Gifts are available to children age newborn to seniors in high school of low-income families who live within the Sisters or Black Butte school districts. Applications for the program are available to be picked up now at SistersCamp Sherman Fire District, Kiwanis Club and the FAN office in Sisters. Applications are due by Friday, December 13 at 5 p.m. Please get applications in early so requests can be filled. The Association is collecting new, unwrapped gifts at Sisters Fire Hall, 301 S. Elm St. Tags with requested items are hung on trees at Ray’s Food Place, Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Station, Black Butte Ranch Post Office and Black Butte Ranch Police Department. Volunteers encourage community members
to pick a tag for a child from one of the trees and purchase specific gifts requested by the families. For those folks that would like to participate in the program, but are unable to purchase a specific gift, cash donations are accepted (which are tax-deductible and go toward gift purchases). Make cash donations at the fire station (301 S. Elm St.), by mail: P.O. Box 1509, Sisters, or online at sistersfire.com. The deadline for gift donations is Wednesday, December 18 at noon. Tags that are not filled by the community will be filled by Fire District volunteer shoppers using donated funds — no qualifying child gets left without a gift. “If you haven’t seen the Christmas lights display at the main fire station… be sure to drive by and stop and listen,” Spor noted. “The light display is accompanied by music each evening from parade day until after Christmas.” On Christmas Day, the Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District and SCSFAAA invite the public to the annual Sisters Community Christmas Dinner to be held Christmas day at 1 p.m. in the Sisters Fire Station Community Hall. Everyone is welcome and no reservation is required. For information call 541-549-0771.

Keep an eye on security through holiday season It may be the most wonderful time of the year — but it’s also hunting season for scammers and thieves. And the weather and holiday decorations and gatherings can pose unusual risks. A few basic precautions can help ensure that your holidays stay safe and fun. Watch out for scammers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, $1.48 billion was reported lost last year due to fraud, an increase of 38 percent over the previous year. The Internet is a happy hunting ground for scammers. While we’re all always looking for a good deal, if you’re not paying attention you could easily find yourself out thousands of dollars or with a stocking full of counterfeit goods. Giftcard scams are everywhere online. Consumers should be particularly wary of toogood-to-be true social media offers like “Pay $10 to receive $100 in gift cards.” If you’re buying a gift card, make sure you’re purchasing directly from the seller. Watch out for phony shopping sites (double check the URL). Or, better yet, put down the mouse and shop in Sisters to eliminate that risk altogether! If you are planning to travel during the holiday season, don’t advertise it on your social media. That just alerts thieves as to when your house will be empty. Notify a trusted neighbor when you’re headed out of town and ask her to keep an eye on your house and report any
suspicious activity. Have someone clear snow, and stop your mail and newspapers while you are away. Make sure your house looks like somebody is home to deter a burglar. Keep your Christmas tree and gifts out of view from windows. When you aren’t home, it’s easy to break through a window and grab your gifts. Deter porch pirates with security cameras. Be extremely careful hanging Christmas lights, especially now that roofs and walkways are slick with Sisters Country snow and ice. Consider hiring a professional service with good equipment to handle the chore. December is the deadliest month for electrical fires, according to FEMA. Check your Christmas lighting to make sure it’s in good shape. Space heaters should be checked and not left on when unattended. Don’t plug them into a power strip. Turn holiday lights off when you go out for the evening or when you go to bed. A timer is nice so you don’t have to go out in the dark and cold to unplug them. We tend to cook more during the holidays, and there can be lots of distractions. Review kitchen safety and make sure you’ve got a fire extinguisher and know how to use it. Get your furnace checked and your chimney swept before Santa slides down it, and test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. A few basic precautions will help make sure your holidays stay joyful.

For most folks in America, the spooky season is walled off at the end of October on Halloween. The Christmas holiday season is a warm, cozy celebration of faith and family, replete with chestnuts roasting on an open fire, etc. And yet… For centuries in European tradition, the winter solstice and Christmas were a spooky time of year. For Celtic, Germanic and Scandinavian peoples, this season was the time of The Wild Hunt. It is extremely dangerous for mortals to encounter The Wild Hunt. You might be swept up into the sky and dragged off for miles on a terrifying ride. At worst, you might be taken for lifetimes, to return only in a hundred, two hundred years, when all you’ve known and loved is dust… In Germanic and Scandinavian lore: “(The Wild Hunt) swept through the forests in midwinter, the coldest, darkest part of the year, when ferocious winds and storms howled over the land. Anyone who found him- or herself out of doors at night during this time might spot this ghostly procession — or be spotted by it, which might involve being carried away
and dropped miles from where the unfortunate person had been taken up, or worse. Others, practitioners of various forms of magic, joined in it voluntarily, as an intangible part of them (a “soul,” if you like) flew with the cavalcade while their bodies lay in their beds as if sleeping normally. Sometimes, the members of the Hunt entered towns and houses, causing havoc and stealing food and drink.”* Like so much Northern European folklore and music, tales of The Wild Hunt migrated to the New World. Perhaps the best-known poetic expression of The Wild Hunt is an American song, written by Stan Jones, “Ghost Riders In The Sky.” As a holiday season tradition, the echoes of The Wild Hunt — rendered benign, of course — can readily be seen in Santa Claus riding across the sky on his gift-giving mission. In the mid-19th century, Christmas was a season for ghost stories. There were many, but the most famous is the work of the immortal Victorian novelist Charles Dickens. As Smithsonian Magazine notes: “Washington Irving helped resurrect a number of forgotten Christmas traditions in the

Classy journals make a thoughtful gift, and there is a great selection of art supplies for your holiday crafts.

He has won renown for his beautiful, functional handmade pottery. Each piece is handthrown on a potter’s wheel, then fired in a kiln to 2,400 degrees where it becomes stoneware. All of Ken’s pottery is made of the finest clays available and makes a gift that gives each time it is used.

early 19th century, but it really was Dickens who popularized the notion of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve. The Christmas issues of the magazines he edited, Household Words and (after 1859) All the Year Round, regularly included ghost stories — not just A Christmas Carol but also works like The Chimes and The Haunted Man, both of which also feature an unhappy man who changes his ways after visitation by a ghost. Dickens’ publications, which were not just winter-themed but explicitly linked to Christmas, helped forge a bond between the holiday and ghost stories; Christmas Eve, he would claim in ‘The Seven Poor Travellers’ (1854), is the ‘witching time for story-telling.’” “A Christmas Carol” is, of course, the most famous Christmas ghost story of them all. The tale of the miser Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Christmas Eve visitation of four spirits whose revelations change his outlook on life permeated Christmas culture around the globe. Concern for the treatment of the poor in a rapidly changing capitalist world, and the possibility of personal redemption are themes that have resonated over 176 years, through countless film and stage adaptations. Each interpretation of the tale emphasizes different aspects of the story. Some are pretty spooky; others more lighthearted.

Complimentary Brow Grooming & Lip Treatment
We know that the epidermis is constantly being renewed, and it’s the cellular renewal process that forms lipids that create the skin’s barrier function. Mark Lees, PhD, clinical skin therapist, compares the epidermis to a brick wall. The “bricks” are the epidermal cells, the barrier lipid complex is the mortar between the bricks. This “mortar” holds essential moisture in the skin and blocks irritants from penetrating the epidermis. When the barrier lipid complex is damaged by extreme cold and windy weather, the skin becomes dry, chapped, sensitive, dehydrated and rough. Those clients with rosacea are more likely to suffer excessive redness as the immune system responds, due to the blood bringing immune cells to the site. Re-establishing the barrier lipids, and repairing barrier function, protecting against TEWL, (transepidermal water loss.), is what
winter skin care is all about. Unprotected environmental exposure to sun, cold, wind and dry air all contribute to TEWL. According to Shelly Burns, naturopathic M.D., biotin or, D-biotin is a commonly overlooked vitamin B which is important in supporting healthy skin. During cold months it’s especially important to protect and prevent dry skin. Biotin has been called the dry skin cure. It can also help prevent hair loss and muscle cramps. Good food sources of biotin are eggs, legumes, nuts, brewer’s yeast and oat bran. It’s very important to avoid harsh detergent cleansers or soaps on the face as well as avoid washing too often. Use a low-foaming, or a nofoaming cleanser. I advise my clients to cleanse skin at the end of the day — take off the day, the make-up, the sebum, the sweat, pollution of wood smoke or other irritants. You go to bed

Wednesday, December 4, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Holidays clean; you wake up clean. No need to cleanse again in the morning — unless you have acne or oily skin and feel the need to gently cleanse again. The mainstay of winter skin care is an increased use of intense moisturizers, humectants and protectants. The goal is to combat TEWL and to keep skin hydrated. These are a few of my favorite things: 1. Hyaluronic acid: Don’t be frightened by the “acid” part. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and in the synovial fluid that surrounds our joints. It is a great plumper, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The amount we produce declines with age, so topical products with this ingredient have a great effect on aging skin. 2. Collagen-boosting peptides: A 2004 study showed that subjects using collagen-boosting peptides after 2 months showed 6.5 percent thicker skin than retinol users, who showed a 4 percent increase. Retinol can cause irritation, especially during winter months. Peptides provide better results, without irritation. 3. Wetter water: A good hydrating, purifying water essence to apply along with your moisturizer. Some good natural ingredients to consider are birch water essence, calendula, shea butter, naturally rich in vitamins A, and E, a nut oil that moisturizes, revitalizes and softens the skin. 4. Glycolic and lactic acids. Both are exfoliants as well as humectants. They work to
gently remove dry, dead cells on the surface of the skin and to accelerate cell turnover. It’s during cellular renewal that natural barrier lipids are produced. This process results in healthier beautiful skin. 5. Sunscreen SPF 30: Yes, sunscreen is important even in winter. In fact, any skier can show you that sun off snow will burn the skin. Any cream or any foundation containing sunscreen must be applied every two hours in order to offer adequate protection. Cream sunscreens are not photostable, meaning they break down as soon as the sun hits the skin. Also, creams are absorbed into the skin, along with any probable carrier product that may not be good for either the environment or the body. An alternative would be a non-nano cream, or a mineral sunscreen containing micronized zinc. 6. Cream or gentle milk cleanser: An organic, gentle cleanser is especially important during winter to avoid over-stripping the skin. Suds are not necessary in order to remove makeup or sunscreen residue. If your skin feels tight or itchy and dry after cleansing, try a different product. In order to help support healthy winter skin, avoid occlusive products that contain petroleum. Avoid overcleansing, especially with harsh soaps. Avoid extremes of heat and cold. Avoid overuse of tretinoin. As always, consult your skincare specialist with concerns or questions, and enjoy this holiday season!

“sleigh” — actually a sparkling white, horsedrawn carriage. Kaia Backouris, age 8, moved to Sisters recently and began attending Sisters Elementary School. This was her first time being in snow. “I just love everything about snow,” she said, eyes wide. She described the parade as “really cool and fun.” Her favorite part was “the rodeo queen and her horse.” Sixteen-year-old Hope Johnson and her dad, Jeff, were visiting from Corvallis. “Community and coming together,” is what holiday celebrations in Sisters represent to Hope. Her favorite part of the parade was “being warm and welcome, seeing everyone come together and celebrate Christmas as a community.” The Johnson family lives in Corvallis and has owned a second home in Sisters Country for “probably 30 years,” according to Jeff. “Our family’s come over here quite a bit. We come over at Thanksgiving time; it’s nice because there’s snow. That’s the fun part. Snow is Christmas!” “Seeing the different floats, seeing what people are putting together,” is what draws Jeff back to the parade every year. “It’s nice to see the little things, the new ideas. There’s always something a little different every year.” This year’s parade, with the theme “A

Newfoundlands were a friendly feature of the Christmas Parade. Sisters Country Christmas,” was sponsored by Hayden Homes and presented by the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce. Afterward, folks gathered at the Chamber’s visitor center on Main Avenue. There, people of all ages mingled and chatted while waiting in line to meet Santa Claus. “Seeing the fire engines was my favorite part of the parade,” said Alexei Peters with a chuckle, as his kids hid shyly behind him, munching on parade candy. “And of course, Santa.” Peters said his Portland-based family comes to Sisters Country almost every Thanksgiving. “We stay at Black Butte Ranch. We always come to the parade,” he said. “Last year’s was longer, because it was a little bit better weather. Only the hardy people came out this time.”

Fit For
Sisters Andrew Loscutoff Columnist
A recent fitness and health report indicated one commonality that diet, exercise, and rest are affected by. It’s one thing everyone can work toward improving. It’s intuitive, yet the first thing many people forego. It takes little time and focus, but the return is well worth the investment. What is it? Relaxation, de-stressing, and recovery. Over 100,000 clients in a nutrition program were polled, and asked what their biggest obstacles were for the big three categories: diet, exercise, and rest. On the diet category 63 percent of respondents said that their biggest challenge was stress, or emotional eating. Surely, everyone reading this can think of a time when the Oreo sundae helped
with a tough week, or the extra few glasses of wine were needed to unwind. This leads to binge eating, stressmanagement snacking, and over-indulgence thanks to the hedonistic voice in our heads. Next time life is getting stressful and that piece of candy looks entertaining, ask: Is this going to end the stress? Over 60 percent of people when asked about exercise replied their biggest challenge was the demands of everyday life. In our times, there is always something demanding attention. E-mail, meetings, volunteering, local PTA, social events. Most of these are put before exercise. Once our schedule is bursting with activity, the need to exercise creates a stressful resentment toward our own self-image. Last of the three is rest, and in this category nearly 60 percent reported lying in bed feeling stressed, upset, or nervous. This isn’t the ideal restful night and often creates sleeplessness. All of these emotions stem from not taking the time or energy to relax and de-stress. A restful night includes eight hours of sleep. According to this report, only 50 percent of people even get seven hours.
This makes the challenges discussed above even more unbearable. And those challenges can be exacerbated by the sometimes-hectic pace of the holiday season, with all of its obligations and temptations. The solution, while easy to lay out, is harder to practice. Rest and relaxation mean something different to each person. A few common traits of a good relaxation technique include: • Light exercise or activity which allows for uninterrupted quiet time. This can be a walk, bike ride, swim, hike, etc. An activity in which screens and distractions aren’t present. Talking with someone, playing with the dog, crafting, cooking, knitting, all of these get someone away from the screen for a time to let the mind create its own happy space.
• Taking the focus away from the inner voice and conscious reel of thought is another relaxing technique. Lie down, sit, or relax and focus on one breath at a time, deep breath in and out, focusing on the body, rather than thought. • Before bed, turn off the screens, enjoy a book or a
