community in sale
Treasure hunters are on
the alert for the big garage
sale coming up on June 16 at
Black Butte Ranch.
Ranch residents are clean-
ing out their garages, base-
ments, attics and other nooks
and crannies and donating
the results. Household fur-
nishings, antiques, art works,
tools, sports equipment, fur-
niture and much more will be
available.
Ranch personnel are also
combing through inventory
and will be selling furniture
and other items that are no
longer in use.
The sale does much more
than provide an opportu-
nity for spring cleaning and
deals on nice stuff. The pro-
ceeds go out into the Sisters
community.
The Black Butte Ranch
sale is sponsored by the
BBR Art Guild, with the pro-
ceeds from donated items
providing scholarships for
Sisters students. This year
the Art Guild gave $10,000
in scholarships as well as
contributing to the art pro-
grams at all Sisters public
schools.
Hours are from 8 a.m.
to 1 p.m., at the Ranch
Maintenance Facility on
Geo. McAllister Road.
To g e t t h e r e , t a k e
Highway 20 to the Camp
Sherman intersection, turn
left onto Geo. McAllister
Road and follow the signs
three-quarters of a mile to the
facility.
Habitat for Humanity will
take any unsold items.
GARAGE SALE
Saturday, June 16, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Local Hola restaurants
will be switching to biode-
gradable compostable straws
in each of its Central Oregon
locations. The Mexican-
Peruvian cuisine restaurant
group recently opened a new
location in Camp Sherman.
Hola is championing the
fight against the use of plas-
tic straws, as environmental
activists estimate some 500
million such items being
used every day in the U.S.
contribute to an increasing
ecological toll, particularly
on marine life ingesting the
man-made material.
Hola founder Peter
Lowes said the business
wanted to take a lead as
an ally for the anti-plastic
movement. He said: “It is
something we feel pas-
sionately about and feel
we can no longer avoid
addressing. It’s become a
global issue, and straws
are on the leading edge.”
Although straws rep-
resent a small portion of
the 8 million metric tons
of plastic that ends up
in the ocean every year,
Lowes believes plastic
straws are an easy way
to get people started on
reducing their plastic
use.
He added: “Just
getting people to turn
down a straw is a gate-
way to a more sustain-
able lifestyle. It’s a sim-
ple step that anybody
can take to address the global
plastic problem. You use a
straw for 10 minutes, and it
never goes away.”
Of the 6.9 billion tons of
plastic waste ever created,
almost 80 percent of it has
ended up in landfills or the
environment.
Lowes added: “With the
increasing problem of plastic
pollution, and the consequent
detrimental effect particularly
on marine life, we feel like
we can play a part in taking
a relatively small action that
can make a big difference.”
