Wednesday, June 14, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon City to host barbecue for local citizens zy Sue Stafford Correspondent PHOTO PROVIDED The bold colord of Marjorie Wood Hamlin will grace the walld of the lodge at zlack zutte Ranch through June. Noted artist’s work hangs at Ranch Lodge The internationally exhib- ited Bend artist Marjorie Wood Hamlin will exhibit her work at the Lodge at Black Butte Ranch through June 29. Her work is in homes throughout Central Oregon from Black Butte Ranch to Sunriver, as well as Portland and Lake Oswego. Wood Hamlin has cre- ated her own style, push- ing the envelope of innova- tion to make new sensations for the eye of the beholder. New techniques with copper and gold foil and 23K gold leaf and bold colors in her landscapes are popular with her collectors. It is her phi- losophy that true creativity makes something new rather than copies previous styles. Her work graces corporate offices and the homes of cli- ents throughout the United States. Her paintings have been in exhibits throughout the western United States, New York, Spain and Florence, Italy where she won the rec- ognition of the international jury of the Contemporary Biennale. Her environmental paintings video was shown in Granada and Almeria Spain as well as the United Nations with the Women’s Caucus for Art for International Women’s Month.

There will be free food for everyone including hamburg- ers, hot dogs, and the fixings. Live music will be pro- vided by The Anvil Blasters. The barbecue has been organized after a sugges- tion from Councilor Richard Esterman to promote outreach to the community by City Hall and the Council. Esterman is well-versed in staging events with his Central Oregon Shows, which sponsors a number of public events in Sisters every year, including last week’s Sisters Art in the Park. City Hall is located at 520 E. Cascade Ave. For more information call City Hall at 541-549-6022. Ham operators to convene in Sisters The High Desert Amateur Radio Group (HIDARG) is participating in the annual American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Field Day June 24-25. The annual event brings amateur radio operators and clubs together nationwide, and is an opportunity for amateur operators to practice the quick set-up of a communications post. It also involves a compe- tition to see which station can make the most contacts on the air. Visitors will have an opportunity to operate a radio and try to make a distant con- tact, and will be instructed in how to obtain a ham radio license. The public is welcome Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 8 to 11 a.m. In Sisters, head south on Elm Street (it becomes Three Creek Road). Travel 11 miles and turn into the paved park- ing area at Upper Three Creek Sno-Park. HIDARG will be easy to spot: look for the long wire antennas high in the trees. For a map and more infor- mation about Field Day, visit www.highdeserthams.org or www.arrl.org. 11 Obituary Elizabeth Patterdon April 14, 1930 — June 4, 2017 Liz was born in Oakland, California, on April 14, 1930, to Claude and Elizabeth Chaplin. After high school, Liz went to art school to become a commercial dress designer. While in art school she met and married Jack Keith. They had one child, Elizabeth (Betsy). Two years later, Jack died. She later married Earl Bates. Liz, Earl, and Betsy moved to Sisters in the late 1970s. Liz dearly loved the big pine trees and moun- tains. She hiked and cross- country skied the areas around Sisters. Liz’s only child, Betsy, died in 1982. Earl died three years later, and her mother died in 1986. She later met Ralph Patterson; they married and loved to travel the United States. Ralph died in 2000. Liz is survived by her stepsons Dennis and Mike Patterson, and long-time friends Becky Hartford and Judy Stubbs. Liz was a truly amazing “lady.” She stayed positive through everything life dealt her. We will miss her forever! Love you, Liz! There will be a celebra- tion of life at a later date. A heartfelt thank-you to the nurses that cared for Liz, and their caring and com- passion to us.
