Halloween Parade set
for Sisters streets
Every year, late in the
afternoon of October 31,
motorists on their way
through Sisters get caught
in a traffic jam. They are
unsuspecting casualties of
the annual Sisters Rotary
Halloween Parade, a happy
event that sees hundreds of
costumed young children,
accompanied by their par-
ents or caregivers, trick-or-
treating among businesses in
town.
The Rotary Club partners
with the Sisters Library to
promote, organize, and lead
the event. It will be held on
Halloween afternoon, with
the first groups departing
from Fir Street Park (at the
corner of Fir Street and Main
Avenue) at 3 p.m. Children
must register for the event,
and registration forms are
available at the library and
Sisters Elementary School.
For last-minute participants,
there will be a registration
table at the park on the day
of the parade. Participants
are also asked to bring a
non-perishable food item
for the Sisters Kiwanis

Write-in iandidate
in bid for iouniil seat
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
After seeing there were
only three candidates running
for three Sisters City Council
seats, Kathryn Lindbloom
was convinced by friends to
start a write-in campaign.
Lindbloom told The
Nugget, “My agenda is to
keep Sisters Sisters.” She said
other than that, she has no
specific agendas. She loves
living in Sisters and wishes
to see it continue as a special
place to live.
She does think there are
several current issues facing
the new Council, the first
being to conduct a “reason-
able search for a city manager.
“We need to find someone
who wants to live in the city,”
and “who holds the same val-
ues we do.”
The potential sale of the
Forest Service property at
the west end of town is an
issue that Lindbloom thinks
requires major input from
the citizens. She thinks the
Council needs to listen to the
ideas and concerns of the res-
idents, without having their
own minds already made up.

Some 24 Sisters High
School (SHS) students and
79 other students from Bend,
Redmond, Prineville and
Culver headed to Redmond
early Friday morning,
October 14, to participate in
a simulated plane-crash. The
event served as training for
EMTs and paramedics.
All the high school stu-
dents were “victims” of
the crash, and upon arrival
were assigned an injury they
were instructed to act out.
Once assigned their injury,
each student got “mou-
laged” — made up to create
an “injury” that appeared as
real as possible. SHS student
Ashley Adams had a severe
compound femur fracture that
looked startlingly real.
Once all the first respond-
ers arrived at Redmond
Fairgrounds, students were
transported by bus to the
“crash-site” just east of the
Redmond Airport. Upon
arrival, students were told
where they should go, accord-
ing to the severity of the
student’s injury. Most were
about 100 feet away from the
crash-site, where there was
metal and scrap burning to
make the scene seem as real
as possible.
Every student lay on the
ground and would act out
their injury. Once a first
responder got to the student,
they had to act as if they
were really injured. The first
responders would triage the
patient and assign a certain
color according to the sever-
ity of the injury. Most stu-
dents were of either “red” or
“yellow” levels of urgency —
critical or serious. Most were
transported to the triage site
on backboards and in neck
braces. The students then
waited for transport, with
EMTs acting out treatment of
their injury.
A couple students were
strapped to gurneys and put
in the back of an ambulance.
For SHS students this
opportunity granted them
extra credit and job-shadow
hours for the EMS Fire class
and Health Occupations class
taught by Heather Johnson.
