Attempted abduction
of child at county fair
A subject is still at large
after a reported attempted
abduction at the Deschutes
County Fair.
Redmond police report
that on August 7, after mid-
night, officers from the
Redmond Police Department,
responded to the Deschutes
County Fairgrounds for
an attempted child abduc-
tion. When officers arrived
on scene it was reported an
approximately 20-year-old
white male wearing black
clothing and a black hat
had tried to take a family’s
5-year-old son.
The suspect was discov-
ered while escorting the
child, south, away from the
south gate entrance to the
Deschutes County Fair, near-
est the livestock barns. The
man reportedly ran west
away from the scene. The
Deschutes County Sheriff’s
Office responded with a K-9
and an extensive search of
the area was conducted. The
suspect was not apprehended
and is still at large.
The Redmond Police
Department reminds those
supervising children to
maintain a watchful eye on
them and to make sure they
are close by at all times.
Redmond Police Department
is asking for the community’s
assistance in identifying and
holding accountable the per-
son who attempted to take
this child from his family. If
anyone in the community has
information on the attempted
abduction, the suspect or his
whereabouts, contact the
Redmond Police Department
at 541-504-3400, or through
the non-emergency dispatch
number at 541-693-6911.

To the Editor:
I was in Sisters in late July, helping my
daughter scout housing for her family, who
will be moving there this August. My husband
and I are also looking at a move to Sisters, a
town we have admired for many years.
While there, my daughter and I became
aware of the situation that exists — and evi-
dently will be escalating — concerning fairly
far-reaching noise from a recreational plane
enterprise. If I recall correctly, this noise has
been disturbing residents in a radius of about
three miles — a pretty big swath for a small
town.
The upshot? Neither my daughter’s fam-
ily nor my family is interested in looking at
houses for sale on the north side of town. I
should think this trend would be disturb-
ing to Realtors, let alone home owners!
Is the City government turning a deaf ear
to those who have made these concerns
known?
I am reminded of something Spock said in
the movie The Wrath of Khan: “The needs of
the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Is
this only fantasy?

To the Editor:
During last week’s meeting of Sisters
Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American
Legion, discussion was voiced that recogni-
tion and support be given to all law enforce-
ment officers.
It was quickly decided that, to honor any
and all first responders throughout our nation,
a posting of our national colors would be
appropriate.
As of this Wednesday morning, we can all
see our U.S. flags blowing in the breeze up
and down Cascade Avenue. We military veter-
ans proudly say “thank you” to all those who
are dedicated to preserving the peace through-
out our nation.
A dozen veterans have been post-
ing the colors around Sisters for the past
eight years. It takes about an hour to put
up and take down the 125 flags, nor-
mally at the crack of dawn. Throughout the
year, flags are posted five times, during
patriotic holidays. This week’s posting is
special.
As an added service to the citizens of
Sisters, the veterans also collect and retire
worn or tattered flags that need to be retired.
Flags may be dropped off at our Sisters
Chamber of Commerce office for proper
disposal.
