KID MADE CAMP:
Outfit encourages
self-starting
Alaska bound
By Chris Laing
Correspondent
My husband and I raised
our son and daughter in
Homer, Alaska, recently
named by Coastal Living
Magazine as one of the
<Happiest Seaside Towns
in America= 4 however
that gets measured. It9s also
known as <the halibut fish-
ing capital of the world,=
the <cosmic hamlet by the
sea,= and is vaguely referred
to by author/storyteller Tom
Bodett in the title of his first
book <As Far As You Can
Go Without A Passport.=
It shares a lot of simi-
larity to Sisters as an eco-
tourism destination and a
notable art town.
Little wonder when we
moved here to live closer to
family we found many other
Alaskans had migrated to
Sisters Country before us. I
am writing for the benefit of
those who may miss Alaska,
and for those who still
have it on their bucket list:
Now is an excellent time to
visit.
September 6-19 Homer
will host the Alaska World
Arts Festival, fashioned
after the Edinburgh Fringe.
One hundred artists from
around the world will
come to entertain, share
their culture, and mix
with local talent covering
a wide range of art forms
including: theatre, film,
dance, comedy, storytell-
ing, poetry, music, pottery,
visual and performance art.
It will be an exciting two
weeks during the shoulder
tourist season. I encourage
anyone to whom this appeals
to check it out online at
AlaskaWorldArtsFestival.
org.
I9ll see you there.

where they have responsibil-
ity, are trusted to make deci-
sions, perform necessary
tasks, interact with customers
and be taken seriously,= Bosco
says. <The food cart provides
all of that.=
Bosco will instruct the
kids in safe, healthy usage
of her Simple 8N9 Fresh
food cart, which serves fresh
foods inspired by Central
and South American cookery.
Collaborating with Kid Made
Camp, the cart will also serve
a new menu item: smoothies.
Students will use produce
sourced from local farms on-
site at the market, along with
fruit and other wholesome
ingredients.
<Kids like to be creative,=
Bosco notes. <They take
chances with ingredients.=
She will help them develop
their ideas into tasty, consis-
tent recipes.
Many are familiar with Kid
Made Camp9s art and craft
entrepreneur camps in Bend
and Sisters. The Kid Made
experience <shows them
they have options,= Bosco
said. <Kids are smart, have
fabulous ideas and don9t fear
sharing them. At our camps,
they learn that their talents
are valuable. They learn how
to be confident in presenting
themselves.=
The community is invited
to request a smoothie or
other menu item at the Kid
Made Camp <takeover= of the
Simple 8N9 Fresh food cart
at Sisters Farmers Market on
August 25. Sisters Farmers
Market takes place every
Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
at Fir Street Park.
The August dates for the
food cart camp are new;
registrations are now being
accepted at kidmadecamp.
com. Kid Made Camp will
also present its standard entre-
preneur and arts camp at The
Environmental Center in Bend
during the week of August
5, culminating in a booth at
Northwest Crossing Farmers
Market on August 10.
Patrons are encouraged to
ask campers questions about
their ingredients, creative
process, or what they have
learned at camp.
<Kids can do it,= said
Bosco9s new partner in the
Kid Made business, T. Lee
Brown. She teaches journal-
ism and edits the Kids in
Print section of The Nugget
Newspaper in Sisters, where
kids can see their writing and
artwork published in a real
newspaper.
<We just have to give them
the chance.=
Additionally, Kid Made
offers free/donation-optional
activities for all kids who
visit Sisters Farmers Market.
The Kid Made booth pops up
about twice a month during
Market season. Families are
invited to step inside, make
a craft, or try on some face
paint.
Oregon lagging in disaster prep
By Sarah Zimmerman
Associated Press
SALEM (AP) 4 Oregon
state lawmakers abandoned
a multimillion-dollar proj-
ect to develop early warning
systems for earthquakes and
wildfires, and scientists warn
that the funding shake-up
could endanger public safety
and put Oregon further behind
other West Coast states in pre-
paring for natural disasters.
Researchers were shocked
when nearly $12 million
to expand ShakeAlert and
AlertWildfire 4 early warn-
ing systems to help detect
significant earthquakes and
wildfires 4 unexpectedly
went up in smoke last month,
just days before the end of the
legislative session. Money for
the projects was included as
part of a larger funding pack-
age, but was stripped in a last-
minute amendment.
Disaster preparedness has
continually been a focal point
as Western states are poised
to enter the hottest and driest
months of wildfire season.
