moved to Central Oregon in
1868, settling in Prineville,
where Hardy was born April
13, 1874, one of the first
white children born in the
territory now comprising
Crook County. He moved
with his family in 1880 to The
Dalles where he received his
education.
Hardy returned to Central
Oregon at the age of 23 in
1897. He established a home-
stead near the mouth of the
Metolius River where he
raised cattle. He and Daisy
Belle Davidson (of Wasco
County) were married in
1900. Hardy and Daisy moved
into Sisters in 1905 where
they bought a hotel and then
opened a blacksmith shop.
They also retained their ranch
and about 100 head of cattle
for a time. Hardy and Daisy
had one child, Harold, in 1902.
In 1908 Hardy and Daisy
built their house on the corner
of Main Avenue and Fir Street.
As the automobile gained
popularity and there was less
demand for blacksmithing, in
1920 Hardy transformed his
shop into a garage. He did
continue to provide needed
blacksmithing services to his
longtime customers. He con-
structed the door of the town
jail, using spokes from old
buggy wheels for the bars.
Hardy and Daisy continued
to prosper, remaining impor-
tant citizens in the life of the
community for the rest of their
lives. Hardy died November
26, 1954 at the age of 80.
Daisy died in 1959 at the age
of 84. They are buried in the
Redmond Memorial Cemetery.
In the 1980s the Allen
house was scheduled for
demolition, but was saved by
moving it two blocks to its
present location on the corner
of Main and Larch. In recent
times it has been home to two
florist shops and now houses

underwent one renovation in
1990 and another by Mayea,

exclusive access during the
training. Bailey explained
that the main objective was to
provide a scenario in which
law enforcement and local
fire and EMS can learn how
to respond, stop the threat,
and treat any injured. Being
that fire and law enforcement
are separate entities with dif-
ferent methods of response
to emergencies, the scenario
would provide an avenue
of merging the two into an
effective response force.
“No one agency can do it
alone,” Bailey said. “We all
have to work together.”
The scenario would also
reveal any equipment that
would be needed, effective
ways to communicate, and
the best response methods.
Saturday’s event revealed
a few issues that were
addressed — such as lack of
cell service in the building
and poor radio signals. Part of
the training is to identify and
mitigate those issues ahead
of time and learn how to deal
with them prior to an actual
emergency, Bailey explained.
The drill was run mul-
tiple times, as police and fire
would execute the scenario
then debrief, learn, and repeat
with the intention of being
more effective the next time
around.
The scenario also included
more than a dozen students
portraying victims of a
school shooting staged in the
school’s main entrance and
the west wing of the building.
Victims were dressed with
moulage — a realistic make-
up that simulates wounds to
various parts of the body —
and placed throughout the
hallways and classrooms.
Real dispatchers were also
on-scene to provide scripted
real-time radio dispatches to
police and EMS units.
The scene inside the
school was realistic — stu-
dents portrayed injured vic-
tims crying for help. Law
enforcement officers were
forced to find the threat and
stop the shooter quickly and

efficiently before treating
the patients. Scenarios lasted
for more than 30 minutes as
security was established and
patients were treated then
removed to a triage zone out-
side the school.
“It takes a lot of people
and coordination to put this
type of event together,”
Bailey said. “But it’s so
important to not only the
first responders, but just to
reassure the community that
we’re prepared for this type
of incident.”
