is re-used from old or scrap
fabrics and my dresses are
made from men’s button-
down shirts. I also craft belt
bags using upholstery leather.
After having a store for five
years in Eugene, I decided to
focus solely on my clothing
line. I am going to be tour-
ing the Southwest with my
new mobile boutique, and
am calling it The RevivALL
Road Show and it will start in
Bend.”

Veteran Brett Miller had
his “Warfighter Outfitters”
fishing boat on display at the
Harvest Faire for a very spe-
cial reason (see related story,
page 1).
Warfighter Outfitters is a
nonprofit guide and outfitter
service in Sisters for disabled
veterans, founded by Miller.
“This is my first year
here promoting Warfighter
Outfitters, and I’m taking
donations,” Miller said. “We
provide no-charge fishing and
hunting trips for wounded vets
all over the Pacific Northwest.
We now have an all-veteran
board of directors.”
A few members of the
local Sisters authors group
were promoting their books at
the “Sisters Authors” booth.
Sisters author Edie Jones,
who displayed her book
“Raising Kids With Love,
Honor and Respect: Recipes
for Success,” was on hand
to explain how the group got
started about six months ago.
“Diane Goble founded
our author group,” Jones
explained. “As a freelance
writer and author herself,
Diane had mentioned in The
Nugget that she would like to
start a writers group in Sisters,
and a few of us responded.
Our first meeting started with
three authors at my house,
and now we have 25 mem-
bers and meet once a month
to give each other support.”
Judy Trego, executive
director for the Sisters Area
Chamber of Commerce,
is also a member and has
authored “Gain the World and
Keep Your Soul: A Guide on
Values-Based Philanthropy.”
Stone Vases & Functional
Pottery by Dee and Barbara
Adams from Pacific City is
one vendor that folks can
always count on seeing every
year at the Harvest Faire.
“We’ve been at the
Harvest Faire for 35 years,”
said Dee Adams. “In fact we
used to live in Sisters from
1997 to 2004. We use to do
44 shows a year, but last year
we decided to retire and have
only done 11 shows; that’s
our idea of retirement.”

tempting for a buck to pass
up, and they play tug-of-war
on his antlers.
A local resident reported a
buck that had its antlers hung
up in their backyard clothes-
line and didn’t know how to
get out of it. It wasn’t until
the neighbor’s dog came over
and started yapping at the
buck that it ran off — with the
clothesline trailing behind.
Larry and Cheryl Sears
reported a buck wandering
through their backyard wear-
ing a mat of Christmas lights
in its antlers.
If there’s anything left in
your backyard a mule deer
can get its antlers stuck on, it
will find it. On top of that, if a
beautiful bull elk that escaped
the hunting season comes
plodding through your yard,
it, too, will find a watering
can, or canvas chair to stick
its rack into.
In spite of the fact that
the City of Sisters passed
the ordinance against human
residents knowingly feeding
deer and elk, both creatures
will find a kitchen garden and

plunder it. That can be pre-
vented with a fence. It doesn’t
have to be eight feet high;
make it four feet high with
eight-foot posts, and put two
rows of string up to the top of
the posts.
Or, you can do as Mary
Crow did to protect her gar-
den: put up two four-foot
fences with a space of two feet
between them. A mule deer,
even one lusting for the deli-
cious fruit on your ever-bear-
ing strawberry plant, won’t
try to jump over a fence into
a two-foot space. Hopefully.
If you have a garden gate
that’s not fastened tight,
there’s more than a good
chance a deer buck will stick
his antlers in it, get stuck fast
and then try to run off with it.
Control your dog. There’s
nothing worse than to see a
loose dog in pursuit of a mule
deer yearling that was on its
way to the wintering ground.
Drivers have to be extra
careful during the deer migra-
tion season. They’re all
too common criss-crossing
Highway 20 between Black
Butte Ranch and Bend.
Dawn and dusk are times
when deer and elk like to
wander across the highway on
the way to their ancestral win-
tering grounds — and they’re
tough to see.

Schools: Loss
of students has
been arrested
Continued from page 1
At the high school, each
class is up in numbers from
end-of-year last year except
the junior class (11th grade),
which is down by 21.5. Even
that class, however, has seven
more students than projected.
The numbers are not
cause for celebration, yet.
Enrollment is essentially flat
between this year and last.
But given the dire trends
since the recession hit in
2008, holding steady is being
taken as a good sign that the
health of the district and the
community at large is being
restored.
