Sisters Country birds
‘Cinderella’ on tap at high school
to display a red crest. One
day after the first fledglings
leave the nest the female
golden-crowned begins
laying eggs for the next
brood. The male will feed
sometimes up to nine nest-
lings and the mother during
the nesting period. Their
diet includes many insects
including grasshoppers, lice,
mosquitoes, spiders and
mites; during the winter they
will consume some seeds.
Unique to the golden-
crowned kinglet is that each
nostril is covered by a tiny
feather. A group of king-
lets is called a “dynasty,” a
“court,” a “princedom” or a
“castle” of kinglets. To see

As the season begins to
take on its winter cloak, tiny
twitters can be heard high
in our forests. Most likely
these songs are the commu-
nal sounds of the golden-
crowned kinglet (Regulas
satrapa). A tiny warbler-
sized bird weighing in at
four to eight grams and three
to four inches long, they are
able to withstand tempera-
tures down to -40º F.
They build their nest
within a spruce, fir, cotton-
wood or hemlock forest up
to 60 feet high where they
raise two broods. The male
will pick a territory that he
will defend, and when agi-
tated will flare his feathers

The Sisters High School
music department is per-
forming the Rodgers and
Hammerstein Broadway
musical “Cinderella”
Thursday, November 2
through Sunday, November 5
in the SHS auditorium. Show
times are 7 p.m. except for a
Saturday matinee show at 2
p.m.
Tickets are $8 (18 and
under) and $12 (adults), avail-
able only at the door, start-
ing one hour before each
performance.
More than 90 students are
involved in the production of
this classic play.
The timeless enchant-
ment of a magical fairy tale
is reborn with the Rodgers
and Hammerstein hallmark
of originality, charm and
elegance. Originally pre-
sented on television in 1957,
Cinderella was
the most widely
viewed program
in the history
of the medium.
Its re-creation
in 1965 was no
less successful in
transporting a new
generation to the
miraculous king-
dom of dreams-
come-true, and
so was a second
remake in 1997.
T h i s
“Enchanted
Edition”
of
Cinderella is
based on the 1997
teleplay.
If the carriage on the poster
for the play looks familiar —
it should. According to direc-
tor Rick Johnson, Ken Scott
of Ken Scott’s Imagination
GRAPHIC PROVIDED
Gallery in Sisters has donated
the use of his magnificent and
quite famous Cinderella car-
riage for the production.
