Dustbowl Revival
heads to Sisters
Bluegrass. Swing. Hot
jazz. Pre-war blues. Southern
soul. New Orleans funk. The
Dustbowl Revival is what
you could call an American
roots orchestra with eight
full-time members — and
they play it all, mashing
the sounds of traditional
American music into a genre-
hopping, time-bending dance
party that coaxes new fire out
of familiar coal.
The band will be play-
ing The Belfry in Sisters on

This isn’t a throwback
band. It’s a celebration of
the sounds that have kept
America moving for more
than a century, performed
with all the flair of a medi-
cine show and rooted in the
sweat and swagger of a juke
joint song swap.
The Belfry is located at
302 E. Main Ave. in Sisters

To the Editor:
Seeking quiet country living, I recently
bought a house in Crossroads. The Sisters area
has proved to offer many of the amenities I
was seeking except, as it turns out, quiet skies.
This is due largely to the introduction of
a skydiving operation at the Sisters Eagle
Airport. What’s next? Please, not helitours
over our community and our nearby wilder-
ness areas, which so many of us visit for
peace, quiet, and sanctuary.
I hope the City will disallow activities such
as commercial skydiving and helitours, which
were prohibited when the airport was still
under the jurisdiction of Deschutes County.
Sisters has a “Dark Skies” ordinance. How
about “Quiet Skies?”

To the Editor:
First off, to avoid any misunderstanding, I
feel the need to state that I am a dog-owner,
a dog-lover and, frankly, prefer dogs to some
people I know.
That being said, my house backs up to the
elementary school and this morning around
6:30 a.m. was the second time in just over
a week that I had to witness a pair of off-
leash dogs take down a young deer, the ani-
mal crying in terror. This was one of the twin
fawns we’ve all seen around town this year.
Previously, it was the young buck (it’s tongue
was torn nearly out of its mouth as it finally
limped away).

In the last year on three occasions I’ve
seen terrified does just barely make the leap
over the fence to escape, usually leaving skin
behind. On another occasion the full-grown
deer couldn’t quite make it and was taken
down by unleashed dogs.
I fully understand the dog-owners did not
intend for this to happen, their distress was
palpable as they tried to call off their animals,
and I did and do feel sympathy for them.
However — please remember that the school-
yard is NOT a dog park. And if your animal is
not under voice control, then it should never
be off leash.
And I’m not talking about pit bulls
or Dobermans or any other large, sup-
posedly aggressive dog. These incidents
have happened with surprisingly small-
breed dogs. It’s just instinct and they can’t
help it.
So once again, PLEASE remember the
schoolyard is not a dog park, so if you are
there with your pet, keep it leashed. And in
any situation, if your dog is not under full
voice control, then always keep it leashed.
