LUNDGREN: Great
Somme battle
occurred in 1916
Continued from page 3
withstand a bombardment so
massive and intense that the
low rumble of the guns could
be heard across the Channel
and all the way to London.
When he returned home,
Christopher and his friends
took up their spades and dug
an elaborate trench system
of their own in his yard in
Metolius Meadows.
The spade-work, filling
of sandbags and stringing of
“barbed wire” was a whole lot
like work.
“I learned how hard it is to
make a trench,” he said.
That really brought home
to him the enormous enter-
prise that was the vast net-
work of trenches that snaked
from the English Channel to
the Swiss border.
Asked what motivated his
willingness to work so hard
to create a facsimile of what
he’d seen in France, he said,
“I don’t know. I just like dig-
ging I guess.”
And he’s been having fun
building a potato gun and lob-
bing taters into the trenches.
On Sunday, he narrowly
missed a Nugget correspon-
dent, who hunkered down as
a potato sailed overhead and
landed with a thud in the adja-
cent trench.
But there’s something
deeper than simple “fun” in
digging in the dirt and shoot-
ing off a potato gun going on
with the Sisters youth. His
bedroom is a mini-museum
of Second World War, First
World War, and Cold War
artifacts. Some of the World
War II artifacts came from
his Dutch grandfather, who
“barely survived the Hunger
Winter” of 1944-45 during the
German occupation.
He is discovering how
alive history can be when you
dig in and put your hands on
it — dirt and all.

JONATHAN HICKS
Our Oregon adventure started in the spring of 2011 with
a cross-country road trip, Tennessee to Oregon, with my
wife, Denise, two kids: Ethan and Layla, and Shiloh the
dog. After spending four years on the Coast our family
had the opportunity to make Sisters our home and we
haven’t looked back! We love everything Central Oregon
has to offer, and spend as much time outside as we can.
We enjoy hiking, biking, camping, hitting the Bend Beer Trail,
and spending time in this amazing place with family and friends!
