Mathews, Tribune News Service photo by Jodi sChneider mCnamee local engineers are putting their skills to work to assemble donated shelters for Mustangs to the rescue. MuSTANGS: Community is stepping up to help horse rescue group Continued from page 3 ENERGYneering Solutions, Inc., founded by Benny and Julie Benson, was recently awarded “Best 100 Companies to Work for in Oregon” by Oregon Business magazine. They are also Sisters’ Business of the Year. ESI is an engineering, construction, and operations firm in Sisters that designs, builds and operates renew- able energy facilities across the nation — from here in Sisters. Last May MTTR relocated to their new location at Paws n Claws Resort on Cloverdale Road, owned by Janet Herring. For almost 23 years Herring has owned an active dog and cat boarding kennel and was happy to accommo- date the organization. Kate Beardsley founded MTTR, which is an all-breeds horse-rescue organization, in 2012, though she’s been privately rescuing horses for over 16 years. MTTR previously operated out of Skyhawk Ranch in Redmond, but needed to relocate due to the sale of that property. “I am a firm believer that a charitable organization needs to be supported by its com- munity, and the community has stepped up to support us. This is exactly what’s it’s about,” said Beardsley. “I am so happy to be back in Sisters! The phrase ‘it takes a village’ certainly applies to this com- munity. And MTTR is helping the community by providing horse owners and potential horse owners with assistance, educational opportunities and resources to ensure safe and secure homes for our equine partners.” Beardsley currently has 21 adoptable horses available.

FitLife appoints Sisters woman to board Regan Roberts, finance director at Sisters Athletic Club, was recently chosen to be on the board of directors for the regional health club organization FitLife. FitLife is an association of independently owned health and fitness clubs in the Pacific Northwest. They maintain a reciprocity program among their members to use approxi- mately 80 different clubs in Oregon, Washington, Mon- tana, Idaho and Wyoming. Many of the associated clubs have been in business for more than 25 years and have an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience among the group of owners and managers. Networking benefits and the willingness to share ideas and information is a hallmark of the association. Much of the networking takes place at the FitLife summer conference and at various owner/manager retreats and continuing-education work- shops throughout the year. FitLife associated clubs have a passion for health and wellness and have extremely high standards of profession- alism. This sets them apart from “box gyms.” Roberts, who has worked for Sisters Athletic Club since 2006, recently attended a customer-service training offered through FitLife that was presented by the Ritz Carlton hotel brand. She was able to share the informa- tion she learned with the rest of the Sisters Athletic Club staff. Roberts will not only be able to share what she learns through FitLife with the staff at Sisters Athletic Club, but will also bring her knowledge of the industry to the other members of FitLife. — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — This Week’s Crossword Sponsors W R S O ؏ F A S Th is special juried show features gallery and guest artists. 20% goes to the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. 303 W.
