" Pete Rathbun wrote: <Thank you to the 150 or so people who attended the surprise party thrown for Ann Richardson last Thursday at FivePine. Not to mention the dozen or so super-heroes that set it up; you know who you are. She was blown away. Who knew so many people in this small town could keep a secret for three whole weeks? I can9t speak for Ann, but I know for a fact that Sisters Folk Festival (SFF) wouldn9t be where it is today without Ann and all of you (plus another few hun- dred volunteers). In my years at SFF I9ve learned that if you start call- ing out individuals or orga- nizations by name you9re bound to miss somebody, but you all know who I9m talking to. I9m forever grate- ful to have gotten to know and work with all of you. Thank you for making the job not only so much easier, but a lot of fun. ROAD RAGE: No one was hurt in incident on Highway 20 Continued from page 1 Nobody in the reporting per- son9s car was struck by gun- fire. The reporting person advised they were still follow- ing the suspect. The reporting person then said that the sus- pect had turned onto Central Avenue east of Sisters. The reporting person parked near the intersection of Central Avenue and Highway 20 to await contact from sheriff9s office personnel. At approximately 7:13 p.m., a deputy with the Deschutes County Sheriff9s Office spotted the suspect vehicle parked in the middle of Fryrear Road near Cascade Estates Drive. That deputy requested additional units, I sincerely wish the best for the organization going forward.
