Library exhibit features children’s art Sisters salutes...

The walls of the commu-
nity room at the Sisters library
are covered with small color-
ful painted canvasses created
as a part of the Deschutes
Public Library System’s sum-
mer reading program, Team
Read.
Several different groups
created the paintings.
According to Paige Bentley-
Flannery, community librar-
ian, “The Sisters Elementary
Summer School group (ages
5-11) spent one of their reg-
ular Wednesday morning
library visits painting. Last
week I shared art books, we
talked about painting and
favorite art projects at home,
and then discussed reading.”
First, they decided where
they liked to read, then who
they liked to read with, and
finally what books they liked
to read. The students painted
themselves with pets and fam-
ily members, at the beach, in
a tree house, on a trampoline,
reading “Olivia,” “Clifford,”
“Harry Potter,” “Mouse on a
Motorcycle” and more.
In the spirit of Team Read,
two or three children worked
together on one canvas.
“They started out
slowly, trying to figure
out what they would paint
together, but soon paint-
brushes and sponges were
dipped in colorful paints and

creative images appeared,”
said Bentley-Flannery.
The same process was
used for Family Fun Story
Time for ages up to five.
Families painted together
on one canvas, outside after
story time last Thursday.
Regular library customers
also dropped off artwork for
the exhibit.
“They loved painting all
around the canvas — sides,
too!” said Bentley-Flannery.
“It was a fun two days of out-
door team painting!”
This is the second year
of the summer reading chil-
dren’s art show in August at
the Sisters library.
On the walls of the com-
puter room is “Out of the
Box,” an exhibit of artwork
belonging to Friends of the
Sisters Library board member
Sue Stafford. The name refers
to the fact that the artwork
has been sitting in boxes for
12 years after Stafford moved
to Sisters in 2004. Her current
home doesn’t have wall space
for all of her pieces, so she
is delighted to see some old
friends on the wall.
Both exhibits will be up
through the month of August.

Rob Meeter has served
as the middle school ath-
letic director and community
schools program supervi-
sor for SPRD for the past
four years. Sadly, Rob has
recently given his notice to
return to California to take a
teaching position. His leav-
ing will be a great loss to the
SPRD team and the Sisters
community, but a great gain
to his new employer.
Rob is always the first to
volunteer for an assignment,
and has taken on many other
responsibilities in addition to
his day-to-day duties.
Rob has a clear passion
for working with children,
and for seeing kids be physi-
cally active through competi-
tive sports. His experience,
dedication, and hard work
will be hard to match.
I hope the community
will join the SPRD team and
myself in thanking Rob for
his years of exemplary ser-
vice, and wishing him well
on the next phase of his life.

On May 21, 2016 a won-
derful celebration of life
was held at Cold Springs
Campground for my mother,
Nancy Bailey. The time and
effort that everyone put into
making it such a special
day will never be forgotten
or could ever be thanked
enough. With all of her won-
derful friends, amazing food
and the beautiful sound of the
guitar, I know she was smil-
ing from ear to ear that night.
On July 27, our fam-
ily joined my Mom and
Wally’s ashes together in the
water off a private beach in
Winchester Bay, Oregon. It
was truly a special day and
a memory that will never
be forgotten as we stood on
the beach and watched their
ashes come together. They
were finally back in each
other’s arms.
I could have never imag-
ined how hard the passing of
my mom would be. Thank
you all for the love, friend-
ship and support beyond
what words I could ever say.
She loved you all very much
and will be forever in our
hearts… And forever missed.
