Wednesday, August 30, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 19 Sisters gears up for holiday weekend PHOTO PROVIDED Marv & Rindy Ross will play during the art fair on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. ART: Art and music will fill BBR Lakeside Promenade Continued from page 3 featured from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be live music throughout the day, includ- ing Marv & Rindy Ross of Quarterflash and Oregon Trail Band fame playing from 1 to 3 p.m. Paula Perkins, one of the show’s organizers, encour- aged the public to come out and enjoy the music. “It’s a free concert, so people can come out and see the concert and walk around,” she said. Perkins noted that the annual plein air paintout will start at 9 a.m., even though the landscape may still be partially obscured by wildfire smoke. Painters will station themselves at different points on the Ranch and paint till noon. The People’s Choice winner will be announced at about 1:30 p.m., Perkins said. The paintings will be for sale, with 20 percent of the proceeds going to the Black Butte Ranch Art Guild’s scholarship and community outreach funds. The Guild provides signif- icant scholarships for Sisters High School graduates; last year one student received a $5,000 scholarship. Funds raised through the event also support Sisters School District visual arts programs and a portion goes toward art acquisition for the Ranch.

BUMBLEBEES: Critical population is in trouble lay eggs that develop into additional workers, and the bumblebee colony grows. It’s at this point that bum- blebees become the wonder- ful, irreplaceable natural pol- linators they are. New queens and drones are produced at a later stage in the life of the colony, usu- ally as winter is approaching. Though we do not know for sure, it is thought that fer- tilized larvae develop into queens, drones, and not work- ers when the queen stops secreting — or changes — a specific pheromone. Larvae destined to be queens are fed more frequently and longer than larvae destined to be workers and drones. Once that special queen — who will survive the win- ter — is selected the others succumb to the elements of winter and loss of flower- ing plants and the surviving queen goes looking for a place to hibernate, survive winter, and in spring it all begins again. Continued from page 18 — if the pollen holds out, and the queen can hold up — the larvae grow, pupate and, after the miracle of metamorphosis works it marvels, they emerge as adults. The adults who make it out into the world are work- ers.
