Wednesday, January 17, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y SFF brings Josh Ritter to the stage By Ceili Cornelius Correspondent Sisters Folk Festival will bring renowned singer- songwriter Josh Ritter to the stage on Tuesday evening, January 23, in the opener of the annual Winter Concert Series. Showtime is at 7 p.m. at the Sisters High School auditorium. Josh Ritter is an American singer-songwriter hailing originally from Idaho. From an early age, he was a music lover and was influenced by listening to music that his parents played around the house, including Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. In high school, he realized that music was actually created by people, not just top-40 radio stations. “After listening to Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan I found out that there is a whole other creative world out there,” Ritter told The Nugget. “I heard a record one day, (Nashville Skyline) and it made me want to become a musician. I figured out how See CONCERT on page 31 Camp Sherman man joins land trust board Gary (Gus) Gustafson of Camp Sherman has joined the Deschutes Land Trust’s Board of Directors.

Closing the gender gap on the water By Katy Yoder Correspondent Women have been closing the gender gap in all kinds of sports. Fly-fishing is no exception. Women have been cast- ing since the sport began. In the 1400s, an English nun, Dame Juliana Berners, wrote the first book on fly-fishing. Fast-forward to the 1940s and it was a woman, Joan Wulff, who influenced generations of anglers. At 16 years old, Wulff took top honors in the national dry fly accuracy championship. By the 1950s after winning the National Fisherman’s Distance Fly Championship with a 136-foot cast, she was widely known as the world’s best fly caster. She has had an immense impact on the sport and broke the gender barrier when she made fly-fishing her career. Equipment manufacturers want more women to take up fly-fishing. Companies like Orvis have launched cam- paigns encouraging future female anglers by improving equipment design. Last year, Orvis declared its mission to increase the ratio of women in fly-fishing to 50/50 by the year 2020. Are women really wel- comed or accepted by their male counterparts? Long-time local guide Mary Ann Dozer explored the dynamics that can occur as more men and women share the water. A guide with The Fly Fisher’s Place, Dozer has found that her growing female clientele are in the 40-to-70 age range. “In Sisters, I’ve seen an increase in women anglers. That older age group has the resources to hire a guide and buy the equipment. There’s a lot of us who moved here to retire, or in my case, just do what I love.” With more women on the water, there are bound to be misunderstandings along gender lines. Dozer’s years of experience has taught her that sometimes what’s per- ceived as disrespect could be misinterpretations. One of her favorite sayings is, “I don’t know what I don’t know.” Untoward comments or See FLY FISHING on page 20 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Council on Aging Senior Lunch Tuesdays, noon, Sisters Community Church. 541-678-5483.
