The brewing process is quite different from normal beer brewing, because they are dealing with the fresh hop from the vine versus groundup hops and grains.
Three Creeks Brewing Co. has brewed its Conelick’r IPA in anticipation of the Sisters Fresh Hops Festival.
Explore Sisters will provide destination management services for Sisters — their mission being to support and lead tourism promotion, development, and stewardship. A contract approved by the Sisters City Council formalized the allocation of $350,000 of transient lodging tax (TLT) funds for tourism promotion and destination management services. Each year, the City will compensate Explore Sisters with a portion of the TLTs that the City assesses pursuant to Oregon State law and local ordinance.

Human food is not healthy for wild animals, and can make them sick. Wild animals have specialized diets, and they can become malnourished or die if fed the wrong foods.

Next time you see a Trump flag, highway sign or T-shirt, consider pity.

Pity that the dollars donated could well have been used on college tuition, health care, savings, and recreation that would have benefited those individuals and their families. Perhaps mostly, pity that a few at some level take the difficult step of recognizing they’ve been conned and yet still argue and cling to unsupported “alternative facts” that lead to additional time and financial contribution.
The realization that we’re about to enjoy our 25th Sisters Folk Festival is another such occasion. The timeline is a little distorted due to bummer years when the Festival didn’t happen; the event actually started 27 years ago, in 1995.

If you follow the music, you don’t have to stretch to find the diversity and inclusion so avidly sought in the quest to weave a cultural tapestry that truly looks like America. It’s right there, in the roots, in the trunk, and in the branches. Perhaps more importantly, music is a far better model than politics for how Americans can best live out the motto e pluribus unum — out of many,
In an era that cynically promotes division and tribalism, celebrating the roots and branches of American music is the most patriotic act I can think of.
Proofreader: Kit Tosello
Forone.American music has never been static. Musicians will adopt and adapt anything that sounds good. Thus, the instrument of Italian immigrants — the mandolin — finds the hands of Kentuckian Bill Monroe, who makes it the centerpiece of a new allAmerican rural form called Bluegrass. The sounds of the brass instruments of patriotic marching bands are bent with blue notes in the cultural ferment of New Orleans to invent jazz. The Blues, rooted in sounds and rhythms that defied the chains and hellships that brought their bearers from Africa, arises from the agonies of slavery and the cottonfields of Mississippi. When the Blues collide with country music, there is an explosion called rockn-roll that echoes across an ocean and back again.
When we gather together to make a joyful noise, we are celebrating the best of who we are. We are connecting at the level of heartbeat and bloodflow, plunging deep into the earthy tangle of our roots, and reaching for the sky.

Letters to the Editor…
For me, it has been first, last, and always about the music itself, and the music was always about something much deeper than simple entertainment. A definition of folk music is always elusive, but it certainly is the voice of a culture — the song of the “folk.” And because America is a tree that grew out of a vast and tangled collection of cultural roots, there are many, many “folks” to sing out, with
Certain events, however, do have the power to make me pause and reflect — and feel every bit of white in my beard. My daughter getting married this summer was one. It was a joyous occasion, of course, but it’s a bit disorienting when all the events of a young life come rushing back, and you realize that the song you wrote for your four-year-old has come to vivid life — seemingly all of a sudden — two decades on.

Pity doesn’t absolve those who have committed crimes, however. Those individuals, while earning pity, merit accountability for their actions.

That those voices have recently had as much influence as they have

Carr’s four-by-six-foot painting, called “Dance the Night Away with Me,” is a mixed-media work that por trays a golden couple dancing in a field of brilliant hues. The piece is both personal and pas sionate for Carr, who comes from a family of dancers.
Carr used her grandfather’s trowel to sculpt some of the plasterwork on the painting, and then used a tiny brush to color some of the shapes, while others were filled in with 23.75-karat gold leaf. The effect is stunning: the woman in a long gown with a ruffle at the hem, the man leading as they dance the night away; silhouetted in front of a field as vibrant as a stained glass “MOOSE”window.isthecreation

It operates in several primarily rural counties in Oregon.Running a sanctuary for horses, pigs, rabbits, and more requires great dedi cation of energy and time. What inspires Bots?
In addition to taking in many animals, Bots also works behind the scenes to find homes for unwanted animals that never set foot on the “Weproperty.can’ttake in more animals than we can afford to properly take care of,” she said. She tries to match them with individuals and with other sanctuaries; Bots estimates that at least 30 new sanctuaries have popped up around the Northwest in the

Farm Sanctuary offers hope and help in Sisters
Bots moved the farm to a larger location early in the COVID era.
Harmony
The organization is 100 percent volunteer based. Bots donates her time, and describes the board of direc tors as “amazing.” Harmony Farm runs on the dedication of many volunteers, currently estimated at about sixty.
Bots works full-time as a therapist for people. Though she takes care to keep her therapy job separate from the nonprofit, her background helps animals and humans alike.
At Harmony Farm Sanctuary, rescued animals enjoy each other’s com pany. They eat good food and receive loving care from human beings.
Private farm tours and merchandise sales help raise funds for the animals’ care and“Iffeeding.people love animals and want to come see ani mals living their best lives, we invite them to come out and visit,” said Bots. “And we’re always looking for volunteers — animal lovers.”

“I feel excited to be part of the event with the other non profits,” said Harmony Farm founder Robine Bots.
Animals and people alike benefit from rescue, rehabilitation, and therapy programs at Harmony Farm Sanctuary, to be featured at Sisters Farmers Market this Sunday.
“We are over off of Fryrear now,” she explained. “It’s big and beautiful and it’s well organized. I feel like we’ve got a really great team.”
Harmony Farm Sanctuary rescues a wide variety of ani mals, creating a small herd of therapy horses and friendly pigs, among others.

That means patrons can enjoy Spanish coffee, Mexican chocolate — and the staff is working on devel oping a “hot margarita.”
Hola! is located at 25545 SW Forest Service Rd. #1419, Camp Sherman.
“This year, we’ve seen a lot of people coming from Black Butte Ranch and being regulars,” Jimenez said. “So

we’ve got a good base for staying open through the winter.”Hola! is still working out the menu for the season, but Jimenez said that it will focus on foods that can be served fresh. And, while some of the classic Hola! margaritas will still be available, the full bar will shift to some seasonal offerings.“We’re definitely, for winter, going to bring some winter drinks to the table,” Jimenez said.
E. Mathews, Tribune News Service
Fabio Jimenez told The Nugget that Hola!, which specializes in Mexican-Peruvian cui sine, is open this fall from Wednesday through Monday, 3 to 8 p.m. and in winter on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m. — with some new winter fare to weather the season. Sisters and Camp Sherman have supported the restaurant, and an influx of new regulars has made the move viable.

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) wants to remind Oregonians that even with the weather start ing to transition to fall, fire is still on the landscape and fire season is still in effect. Oregon is still experiencing severe drought in a majority of the state, dry fuels, higher temperatures and low humid ity. The department cautions against“East-windcomplacency.events, like the one we experienced (ear lier this month), are very common around this time of year. There is still poten tial for more fire starts and the season isn’t over yet,” Mike Shaw, fire protection division chief, said. “We are prepared for new fire starts; however, the less human caused fires we have, the less strained our resources will be.”Even with lower tempera tures, there is still potential for a fire to start and grow significantly. Thus far in the season, Oregonians have done a good job of keeping human-caused fires below the 10-year average. ODF encourages the public to keep up the good work and persist until the official end of fire

that fires are lessening. However, we are still seeing new fire starts daily through out the state of Oregon,” Levi Hopkins, wildfire pre vention and policy manager, said.Wildfire prevention means:•Debris burning is pro hibited during fire season without a permit. Cover your pile and wait until fire sea son is over. A dry, covered pile is cleaner and safer to burn late fall and winter. (Debris burning is not per mitted within the city limits of Sisters).•Don’tpark your car over dried grass, and make sure your vehicle or ATV is regu larly serviced.

A basketball epic
Kaza owns and operates Sisters Movie House. He wrote the book during the COVID-19 shutdown.
In an era 50 years ago, when high school sports pop ularity eclipsed both college and pro sports in Oregon, the meeting between the allBlack team from Portland’s Jefferson High and the white “farm boys” from Eastern Oregon’s Baker High cap tivated the public imagina tion. The biggest crowd ever to witness an indoor sporting event (13,395 paid admis sions) crammed into the Portland Memorial Coliseum to witness the OSAA Boys AAA State Basketball Championship.Itwasthe culmination of Oregon’s own version of “March Madness” as 16 schools descended into town for a five-day hoops extravaganza.In“High Contrast: A Story of Basketball, Race and Politics in Oregon 1972,” Sisters author and former sportswriter Andrew Kaza tells the tale of an event that seemed to be much more than just a game. Set amidst the backdrop of racist his tory plus the political tumult of 1972, it may have been a battle for the soul of Oregon.
Kaza said that the book, published by Nestucca Spit Press, “focuses on the historic boys high school basketball season that culminated in the first-ever all-Black team to win State (the Jefferson High Democrats). They beat Baker HS in the final, but also had to get by Redmond in the opening round (and Baker was IMC rival to Redmond thatTheseason).”book is currently available at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters.

Northwest Youth Rodeo Queen. To encourage more participation in our future court program, I put togeth er a queen saddle fundraiser. I raised enough money to not only purchase a saddle for myself, but also for the next year’s queen. I made sure every future queen after me, had a sustainable fund raising program to keep that tradition going.
The Sisters Rodeo asso ciation is very excited to present to you our new Queen for 2023. We are very confident that we have picked a winner in Miss Sadie Bateman and she will be a fine ambassador for the Sisters Rodeo Association and our community. We invite you to get to know her through a copy of her speech given during the competition:•

Walking into a room full of people holding out my hand, sporting a welcoming smile and engaging in con versation is empowering.
Even though I am just 20 years old, and an impressive 4-feet-11-inches, the impor tance of communication and connecting with oth ers, especially in the rodeo arena, is not lost on me. My name is Sadie Bateman and I am here to tell you a little about how hardworking, passionate, and goal-orient ed I am, and what I could bring to the Sisters Rodeo.
A note from Sisters Rodeo…
By Hank Moss Guest Columnist
My horse Whiskey car ried me through all my years of competition in junior and high school rodeo. My trusty friend has taught me many things over the years, but most impor tantly, he has taught me to enjoy the journey between man and horse. From learn ing how to swing a rope, queen competitions, and growing up together, we have pretty much done it all. Whiskey may be 24 years old, but don’t let that fool you. He is still out there roping calves and turning steers with me in the Northwest Professional Rodeo Association to this day.I’m passionate about rodeo and what it has taught me. I’ve learned how to take care of my horse and to
make sure my horse comes first before I go off and have fun. I’ve learned how to be classy but punchy, and to be graceful in the arena but also how to be competitive andThisconfident.year was the first time I was able to experi ence the famous Sisters Parade and The Biggest Little Show in the World. The rain and the mud only made the Rodeo that much more of an experience and I will never forget! It was the best feeling to have the excitement of the crowd seeing me on horseback. Each performance was an adrenaline rush leaving me wanting more. And the best part was being able to return back to my trailer with the warm mini-donuts in tow.I am ready for the
