Wednesday, July 12, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Katy Yoder moves on from folk festival “That’s my creative outlet.” The demands of her SFF job make it difficult to devote the necessary time to her writing, so, she said, “in order to go through that door as a writer, I needed to close this door.” Yoder came on board with Sisters Folk Festival in 2007, hired as the organization’s events director. She wore a lot of hats in that position, including developing rela- tionships with donors and sponsors. It turned out that Katy Yoder has had a good ride as the development direc- tor for Sisters Folk Festival, Inc. (SFF). Now she’s sad- dling up to ride out on new adventures after more than a decade working for SFF. Katy will stay on as devel- opment director through this year’s festival in September and until the end of 2017 to help transition-in her even- tual replacement. Yoder, who is a freelance writer for The Nugget, plans to use the time she frees up to focus on her writing. “I love writing,” she said. See YODER on page 20 Opera on the big screen at Sisters Movie House World-class opera returns to the big screen in Central Oregon when Sisters Movie House presents the Royal Opera House production of Giuseppe Verdi’s version of Shakespeare’s Otello in an exclusive screening on Sunday, July 16, at 4 p.m. All tickets are $15 and are on sale now. The opera, featur- ing German tenor Jonas Kaufmann, is the second in Sisters Movie House’s “Summer Sunday Series” of cultural programming and is a Central Oregon exclusive to the locally owned cinema. The vision of Olivier Award-winning director Keith Warner, the produc- tion focuses on the opposi- tion of light and dark, good and evil. Exploring the mental collapse of Otello — urged on by Iago (French baritone Ludovic Tézier) — we see Otello believe that Desdemona (Italian soprano Maria Agresta) has betrayed him. A psychological drama, the characters explore themes of trust and insecurity fuelled by Iago’s lies — enemies become allies and friends See OTELLO on page 16 PHOTO BY JODI SCHNEIDER MCNAMEE SOQS board member Jeff Omodt fell in love with an exhibit of Lion King quilts. Lion King quilt exhibit a highlight By Jodi Schneider McNamee Correspondent The Lion King travel- ing quilt show presented by Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabric will travel the coun- try with 120 original 20-by- 20-inch unique quilts. Participants from all over the world took the Cherrywood Challenge and designed the quilts with just two basic colors; black and gold. Accent colors from Cherrywood were allowed. There were more than 300 entries, and from the 138 finalists, 120 quilts were selected for the traveling exhibit. The quilt exhibit found its way to the 2017 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show when SOQS board member Jeff Omodt saw a short video about the quilts online at the beginning of the year. “I fell in love with the face of a lion, ‘Concrete Jungle King,’ that Terri Bahn from Minnesota had quilted,” said Omodt. “So, I tracked down the show.” See LION KING on page 22 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.
