Both have a right to the road 4 but they have to follow traffic rules. Cyclists are allowed to ride in the traffic lane and ride side-by-side 4 but only if they don9t impede traffic. They are supposed to move right and fall into single file at the approach of a car. When they don9t do that, it really sets motorists teeth on edge. Casey Meudt, owner of Blazin Saddles cycling shop By Jim Cornelius Editor in Chief Spring has sprung; the sun is shining and the roads around Sisters beckon to cyclists. It9s time for both cyclists and motorists to re-learn the annual ritual of minimizing conflict on shared roadways. A little bit of courtesy, patience and common sense go a long way toward keep- ing things neighborly. Conflicts arise when one or both sides of the motor- ist-cyclist equation fail to See CYCLISTS on page 29 PHOTO PROVIDED Las Cafeteras builds bridges with their music — which will be on display at The Belfry on Friday, May 10, in the Sisters Folk Festival’s My Own Two Hands community celebration. Civil War coming to Camp Sherman The Blue and the Gray will again march against each other on the lush meadows along the Metolius River in Camp Sherman. The weekend of May 18-19 marks the sixth year that the American Civil War has come to Central Oregon. The living history event takes place in an expansive meadow at the private House On Metolius property near Camp Sherman. The event immerses visi- tors in an open-air environ- ment recreating the era of the 1860s. It is open to the pub- lic from 9 a.m. to 5 p.,m. on Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. More than 160 reenactors come from all over Oregon and Washington to repre- sent Northern and Southern military units and civilians. Each reenactor is a history buff eager to impart some knowledge about America in the mid-19th century, during our nation9s most tumultuous period. This living-history week- end entertains visitors as they learn about slavery, abolition, state sovereignty and the role See CIVIL WAR on page 27 Las Cafeteras — everyone belongs By Katy Yoder Correspondent When Sisters Folk Festival staff chose the theme for My Own Two Hands, their inten- tion was to be inclusive and invite everyone in Sisters Country to join them for the festivities. <We All Belong= has inspired contributing art- ists like poster artist Carly Garzon Vargas to create art that reflects that message. The choice of Las Cafeteras to headline the free concert Friday night, May 10, at The Belfry is a way to continue the celebration and intention for inclusion. Las Cafeteras bandmates are an impressive group with diverse musical expertise and a myriad of academic achievements. The band is comprised of young people raised in Los Angeles by par- ents who were immigrants. They have over 15 years of collective experience in education, organizing, cur- riculum development, social work, movement-building, health and wellness, musical performance and theatre. Las Cafeteras offers workshops, trainings, and residencies to engage a variety of audiences. Booking a band like Las Cafeteras proved challenging for Creative Director Brad Tisdel; but he kept trying and finally, Las Cafeteras will travel to Sisters from their home base in Los Angeles. <We saw them two-and- half years ago at Folk Alliance International,= said Tisdel. He and the Festival talent committee loved the band and tried to book them for last year9s Folk Festival and then again for this year, but it didn9t work out. <I believe they repre- sent the theme of 8We All Belong9 through their social- justice work, both in and out of school environments. Choosing them is a great way to engage our Latino See LAS CAFETERAS on page 28 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Al-Anon Mon., noon, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church / Wed., 6 p.m., Episcopal Church of the Transfi guration. 541-549-8737 or 541-549-1527.
