Creation’s beauty, a sort of
visual journal entry, where
memories can be appreciated
and viewed at a glance and
we can be reminded that even
unexpected change carries
with it unforeseen gifts.

Dan and Julia Rickards
invite the Sisters commu-
nity to join them for the
14th Annual Print Giveaway
at Clearwater Gallery and
Framing. The gallery doors
will open at 10 a.m. Dan will
be signing 150 prints and
offering an array of framing
packages at discounted prices
for the weekend.
“Lupine In Bloom” stirs
up images of brilliant paint-
brush and lupine, quick dips
in icy cold lakes, glittering
stars on soft black velvet
skies, and many silent steps
on the trail.
“Lupine In Bloom” is a
front-row seat to a sliver of
Deschutes County District
Attorney John Hummel has
announced that he will seek a
second four-year term.
Hummel notes that dur-
ing his three years in office,
the County’s crime rate has
dropped 8 percent, and the
total number of crimes com-
mitted has gone down even
as the population and tourism
continued to grow. He also
asserts that he has improved
management of the District
Attorney’s office, resulting in
dramatic cost reductions.
“I respect your tax dol-
lars, hold violent offenders
accountable and protect the
innocent,” said Hummel.
“In short, I stand for justice
and that’s why I’m seeking
re-election.”
At his first campaign event
Sunday, Hummel told the
audience of nearly 100 local
Sarah Conroy,
Chiropractor
Prevent • Heal • Feel Better
Natural Healthcare
for the Entire Family
residents that he pledged to
focus on programs to pro-
mote mental health, and pre-
vent drug abuse in his second
term, while holding criminal
offenders accountable.
“The vast majority of
people charged with drug
offenses are not a threat to the
public,” he said. “If we iden-
tify them early, we can ensure
that they never enter the crim-
inal justice center and instead
get the help they need. At the
same time, though, I have
aggressively and successfully
prosecuted crimes of violence
and will continue to do so.”
Elected Deschutes County
District Attorney in May
2014, Hummel assumed office
in January 2015. He brings 20
years of legal, policy and con-
flict resolution professional
experience to the office.
Before his election as
District Attorney, Hummel
was the State and Federal
Policy director for the Oregon
Primary Care Association
and director of the Oregon
Consensus Program. Earlier,
he served as the Liberia,
Africa country representative
for the Carter Center, lead-
ing efforts to help Liberians
improve their justice and
mental-health systems.
His other professional
experience includes 12 years
of trial work as a criminal law
defense attorney, teaching,
and serving as a Bend City
Councilor. He holds a mas-
ter’s degree in International
Public Policy from the School
of Advanced International
Studies at Johns Hopkins
University, a J.D. degree from
the University of Arkansas
School of Law and a B.A.
degree from Roanoke College.
