A number of instruc- tors will be on hand to help foster community engage- ment, teaching a variety of dances from the Hustle to the Cupid Shuffle to a circle dance. Perhaps the highlight of the evening will be the creation, by all the attendees, of a special Sisters dance, By Sue Stafford Correspondent Next Wednesday, August 15, 5:30 to 8 p.m., the Sisters- Camp Sherman Fire Hall will be the setting for Footloose at the Fire Hall, an evening of free food and fun, seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and discovering — and redis- covering — popular dances of yesteryear and today. The idea of the eve- ning, according to Citizens4Community board member Amy Burgstahler, is to bring people in the com- munity together to have fun See DANCE on page 22 Exploring nature on two wheels By Jim Anderson Correspondent Last week, a bunch of excited kids headed for Suttle Lake through the safe and quiet forest. They’re part of Heather Walden’s Black Butte Eco-Bike Explorers. Black Butte Eco Bike Explorers is a grassroots, nonprofit program put together to get kids outdoors to learn about ecology and conservation through art and mountain-bike exploration. The goal is to provide young people between the ages of 10 and 15 tools to make a dif- ference and help improve and maintain our environment. The field trips involve real-life topics of things hap- pening in the environment to focus on: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and to learn what goes on within natural eco- systems, and why. While they’re into these subjects, they have lots of summertime fun on their bikes with their friends. This is the second summer season the program’s been going, but it can grow with more volunteers. The group meets every Wednesday throughout the summer, starting at the end of June to the last week of August. They meet at 9 a.m., and depart for the trails at 9:45 a.m. to explore and do their ecology studies in the Camp Sherman basin. Pick -up time is approximately 3 p.m. The participants use their own mountain bike, hel- met, and backpack, and they bring their own lunch and plenty of water. To v o l u n t e e r, g i v e Walden a call at 541-719- 8021 or send her an email: BBEKids@gmail.com. The first few weeks, the kiddos’ focus is on basic bike skills and safety.
