They also need someone to mow the lawn, trim shrubs, pull weeds, sweep the driveway or shovel snow as needed, and a jack-of-all trades who can help load and unload, rear- range furniture on the floor and help keep things flowing. This could be one or sev- eral people each doing a share — a few hours here, a few hours there. At both stores, volun- teers will be trained and you can choose your own days and shifts (Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 to 5 p.m.) — or just come in for a few hours on days you can or be on call to fill an empty shift. You can choose to do the jobs you are com- fortable doing. “It would be a big help to find people who can work the register on Mondays and Saturdays, both shifts,” ReStore Manager Robin Tawney said. “Our volunteers are the greatest and we are grateful for the support we receive from the community.” For information about the next orientation and training, contact Volunteer and Family Services Manager Marie Clasen at marie@sisters habitat.org or 541-549-1193. Jared Henderson, a gradu- ate of Sisters High School and Berklee College of Music, paid a visit to his hometown last week, concluding the trip with an intimate evening of jazz music at The Barn on Saturday, July 30. The show was part of Henderson’s swing through Oregon with his friend and fellow musician Christian Li, also a Berklee grad. Adam Carlson of Bend joined the pair on drums after Sisters- based drummer Justin Veloso was unable to join as part of the Jared Henderson Trio due to another engagement. Mixing up traditional jazz tunes with composi- tions of their own, Henderson tore it up on his stand- up bass, while Li wowed the crowd with equally vibrant keyboarding skills. Henderson started play- ing bass while in middle school here in Sisters where his father, Jody, taught music for many years. Years of prac- tice and performance helped him land a full scholarship at Berklee. He graduated there in 2013 and later moved to New York City to be part of the music scene there. He has toured extensively as well. Henderson’s love for Sisters and its mountains was evident in the fact that two of his own songs paid hom- age to the area. One tune, called “The Guardians,” was Our agents are ready to meet your insurance needs As life changes, so should your policy Call or come in today for a free Farmers Friendly Review 541-588-6245 • 257 S.

The culvert will improve the passage of fish and other aquatic species in Indian Ford Creek. The closure of the road will begin on August 15, and will be in effect until construction is completed, which is anticipated to be October 15. During the closure the public is advised to use County Road 1102 and Forest Road 2050 as an alternate route in the area.
