Wednesday, November 6, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 21 Columbia Sportswear icon Gert Boyle dies G er t Boyle, one of Oregon9s most successful and iconic business leaders, died Sunday, November 3, at the age of 95. Boyle is survived by her son, Tim, daughter Sally Bany and daughter Kathy Deggendorfer of Sisters, along with five grandchil- dren, including Erin Borla of Sisters. Boyle founded Columbia Sportswear in 1970 after her husband died from a heart attack. A 46-year-old mother with no significant busi- ness experience, she built the company into an outdoor clothing powerhouse. Boyle, who gained a national profile with a 1980s advertising campaign that portrayed her as <One Tough Mother,= was the first woman inducted into the National Sporting Goods Hall of Fame. A company statement reads: <Our 8One Tough Mother9 held many jobs at Columbia, from seamstress of the first fishing vest to President to advertising icon. Her sharp wit and wisdom helped propel the company from near bankruptcy in the early 970s to the global multi-brand company it is today, with annual net sales of almost $3 billion in 2018. Her pioneering role as a woman in what was then a male-dominated industry is a testament to her strength of character and ability to persevere through difficult situations.= FOOD BANK: Giving session raises need for donations Continued from page 1 60 percent of our food,= said Kiwanian Doug Wills. The Food Bank9s model allows its clients to shop for their food, rather than just handing them a box of what- ever is on hand. That means families get what they really want and need. The Kiwanis Food Bank also allows mul- tiple visits. <The same families come back multiple times 4 we don9t cut them out like some food banks do,= Hespe said. That policy makes the food bank more efficient and effec- tive, with less potential for waste. <They don9t take more food than they need,= Hespe said. Food is distributed every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 328 W. Main Ave. (corner of Oak Street and Main Avenue). Donation cri- teria are listed at www.sisters kiwanis.org/food-bank. To make a cash donation, visit the website and click on the <Donate= button. Checks payable to Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank may be mailed to P.O. Box 1296, Sisters, OR 97759. Food is purchased at Ray9s Food Place and Melvin9s Fir Street Market in Sisters and at Food4Less in Bend. The Nugget is also con- ducting a food drive on behalf of the Food Bank during the month of November. Cash donations or food donations can be dropped off at 442 E. Main Ave. during operating hours (closed Wednesdays and weekend days). The Kiwanis Food Bank operates under the Sisters Kiwanis Community Service Foundation, a 501(C)(3) Wildfire defense... nonprofit. The operation is all-volunteer; none of the food bank staff, including the manager, receive any salary. One hundred percent of funds donated to the food bank are used to purchase food and operate the food bank building. While cash donations are critical, direct food donations are also welcome. One of the most critical programs for the Food Bank through the holidays is the Christmas Bag Program conducted by Ray9s Food Place under the direc- tion of Store Manager Jeff McDonald. Patrons purchase food for the Food Bank, which is bagged and donated. In 2018, patrons purchased 750 bags of food. <It9s a unique program that Jeff and we have worked out,= Hespe said. <Ray9s deserves a lot of credit for doing that.= What’s for dinner, mom?
