18 Wednesday, August 21, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon The Nugget to launch Celebrate! magazine Airshow features warbirds, drones This fall, The Nugget will publish the first edition of a new magazine-format pub- lication that honors the tri- umphs and achievements of the vigorous and accom- plished people who call Central Oregon their home. Celebrate! Abundant Living in Central Oregon tells the stories of milestones achieved and obstacles over- come, of awards and honors earned in the arts, athletics, and service to the community. From a junior rodeo cham- pion to a lifetime-achieve- ment award for an auto racer; from the decades-long effort to restore Whychus Creek to major business anniversaries, elebrate! seeks to& well& Celebrate! Many folks from Sisters will be making the trek up to Madras on August 23-24 to take in one of the most spectacular air shows in the West at the Airshow of the Cascades. Hundreds of planes of all types will be part of the show, including about 30 flyable World War II warbirds 4 types that were flown in air combat during D-Day opera- tions in Normandy in 1944. Those planes are part of the Erickson Aircraft Collection. A partnership with the Erickson Aircraft Collection allows Airshow visitors free entry to their museum, which houses the largest privately owned collection of vintage warbirds in the world. The airshow in Madras is a family event that is distinct from many other airshows across the West. <Here it9s more up-close,= said Airshow board member Tom Brown. <You get to talk to the pilots; you get up close to the planes.= The Airshow of the Cascades has always been about more than planes. The show started when local rancher and vintage plane enthusiast Ron Ochs invited friends to fly in to his ranch in the late 1970s and 980s for a get-together and weekend party. They9d land on his hay field after the second cutting. Friends who didn9t fly drove their fancy cars out to the ranch. When the event moved to the Madras Airport to become Airshow of the Cascades in 2000, the car show came with it. Now there9s also a motorcycle show and 4 new this year 4 a vintage celebrate the full and vivid lives built by the people who make this special place so special. In addition to engaging and uplifting storytelling from award-winning writ- ers, Celebrate! will also be a resource guide for creating your own celebrations and marking your own milestones 4 from weddings to retire- ments, from arts events to happy holidays. The abundant life of Central Oregon gives us so much to celebrate, The Nugget invites readers to join in shar- ing and spreading the joy. For more informa- tion, contact The Nugget at 541-549-9941. CELEBRATE! MILESTONES•FESTIVITIES•ACHIEVEMENTS Abundant Living in Central Oregon Scottie Wisdom&Faith Jean Russell Nave Scottie peacemakers lived with two. Before Harry and Lola, the first pair of rescued Scotties that came to live in our home, we had enjoyed five previ- ous Scotties that we had acquired as puppies. One of the first things that struck me about Harry and Lola was the uniqueness of their relationship. Harry was two years younger than Lola but much bigger than her. Yet, Harry always deferred to Lola9s needs and wants. It wasn9t fear-based supplication. It was love and respect, and it was amazing to watch. Anytime food was offered to the dogs, Harry would wait to be sure Lola Peacemakers are uncom- mon spirits.

New technology gets a chance to shine, as well. There will be both daytime and nighttime choreographed drone flights. The day show is larger, but the new-this- year night show will be espe- cially dramatic with lighting on the drones. For more information, visit www.cascadeairshow.com.
