Wednesday, May 31, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y SFF marks release of Americana CD Sisters Folk Festival (SFF) is celebrating the comple- tion of the 2017 Americana Project music release, “We All Wander,” with a concert on Wednesday, June 7. Students of the Sisters Americana Project are releas- ing their 14th full-length record, featuring songs writ- ten and recorded by students of Sisters High School. The concert is at 7 p.m. at The Belfry. Over the past four months, the Sisters High School stu- dents in the Americana Project have learned the science and art of audio engineering while producing a CD of original songs. The students learn to be recording artists while col- laborating with friends and fellow musicians. The album was engi- neered, mixed and produced by Brent Alan, who says, “Recording the Americana students’ original songs is one of the most inspiring things I do as an engineer. The raw talent and depth of their writ- ing just blows me away. I am blessed to get to work with See AMERICANA CD on page 22 Protecting animal athletes in rodeo groomed for their careers in rodeo. They are of enormous financial value to the stock contractors who own them, often in the six-figure range for the best performers. Why would anyone not give the best of care to these animals? The PRCA has 70 very specific rules that govern the care and treatment of rodeo livestock — rules enforced by the PRCA judges who not only keep scores during a rodeo but also review the condition of the animal ath- letes and the safety of pens, By Bonnie Malone Correspondent There is no organization more cautious and critical when it comes to animal wel- fare than the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The PRCA has set the stan- dard of livestock care since 1949. Many fans and non-fans of the sport of rodeo are con- cerned about the possibility of injury to livestock that is used in rodeo without having the knowledge of the actual life of a rodeo animal. These animals are athletes, bred and See ANIMALS on page 31 PHOTO BY ERIN BORLA Heart of Oregon engaged in a service project at Camp Polk Cemetery last week to honor veterans. Youth show the flag at cemetery By Erin Borla Correspondent Heart of Oregon Youth Build students, volunteers and staff joined representatives from local veterans organiza- tions in a cemetery cleanup and flag placement ceremony at Camp Polk Cemetery on Wednesday, May 24, in honor of Memorial Day. Students arrived on site and ready to get to work at 9 a.m. Split into teams, each student set out to find one of the 39 veterans’ gravesites located at the historic cem- etery. Their mission was to weed, rake, and do general cleanup on their specific site. After each veteran’s grave was taken care of stu- dents moved on to rake, weed-whack, and work on the remainder of the cemetery. Heart of Oregon YouthBuild is a nonprofit that engages young people who face major barriers to suc- cess. Designed for students aged 16-24 from throughout Central Oregon, the program provides job skills training, education, and leadership development. Young people in the pro- gram work in hands-on out- door environments and focus on projects that improve the community. Students earn a weekly stipend or minimum wage for their work and can earn college scholarships. Students also prepare for their GED or college classes by learning math and writing, as well as career planning skills. One of the Heart of Oregon students, 17-year-old Raymond Hendricks, enjoys the community service part of Youth Build and was really looking forward to the cem- etery cleanup. “I feel like this will be my favorite project we’ve done,” he said. “We will be helping people that are kinda help- less; these people deserve this.” Hendricks has been with the program since the end of November last year. He talks about struggling in traditional school — getting bad grades and generally not doing well. “It gave me another chance to do well in school See CLEANUP on page 31 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Fly Tyers Guild 4th Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For location information: 541-549-2072.
