On Thursday, June 16, five
members of the Camp Sher-
man Hasty Team responded to
Carl Lake in the Mt. Jefferson
Wilderness area to locate a lost
Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) hiker.
Alison Sterley of Anchor-
age, Alaska was located
north and east of Carl Lake.
Sterley told team members
that her cell phone, which she
was using for navigation, had
died and the snow on the PCT
had forced her down. Sterley
used her DeLorme satellite
device to contact search and
rescue.

Competing values are tan-

Eagle Airport. A revitalized
airport is seeing increased
flights and thriving business
activity that spurs the local
economy. But some local
residents are feeling that all
that activity is coming at the
expense of their tranquility.
In recent weeks, there has
been an uptick in complaints

the modification approved to
make the completed housing
area a stand-alone develop-
ment. The developed por-
tion consists of 119 single-
family parcels, 4.2 acres of
open space, and 5.73 acres of
right-of-way.
Trying to build the plan
proposed in 2005 for the
18-plus acres left would
probably be impossible with
the current codes in place. If
the modification is approved,
Hayden could submit a new
master plan for the 18 plan
acres, which would eliminate
the confusion now surround-
ing the property.

Eleanor Roosevelt once
said, “The future belongs
to those who believe in the
beauty of their dreams.”
And over 120 talented danc-
ers, ages 2-19, proved just
that through their extraordi-
nary performances at Sisters
Dance Academy’s annual
spring recital on Saturday
evening.
The academy’s chore-
ographers, Sharri Bertanga,
Tiffany Cormalis, Kayla
Williams and Lonnie Liddell,
organized and orchestrated
36 dance performances to a
sold-out house at the Sisters
High School auditorium.
It seems that dance is no
longer limited to the floor,

of gravity. Sisters Dance
