Nugget that their trip to
Sisters was one of the fur-
thest places they had traveled.
Besides the six band mem-
bers, all of whom are profes-
sional musicians who play
with well-known groups, and
director Landsverk, technical
director Kate Sokoloff and
her husband made the trip, as
well as some of the Portland
regulars.
Sokoloff shared that most
of their group planned a
weekend in Central Oregon
around their Friday-night gig
in Sisters. She indicated they
would like to travel to more
and more locales outside of
Portland because, <It9s our
stealth mission to build com-
munity by sharing music.=
She went on to explain
that given the current politi-
cal climate, she wants to bring
people together face-to-face
to join in singing and building
community.
One woman seemed
to concur: <How can
you go wrong singing in
community?=
A couple from Tumalo,
who were right up in front
of the stage, said they came
<because we love the Sisters
community.= Husband Robert
Curzon admitted he <sings all
the time= and had sung with a
variety of performance choirs
in Eugene before moving to
Central Oregon.
<I love to sing, and I9m
on the Folk Festival board,=
explained Terry Buckholz
about her reason for being
there.
Sisters resident Kay Grady
summed up what so many
people said: <I love to sing.
I don9t think I9m particularly
good at it. It9s my medicine. It
lifts me up.=
Laing reported the com-
munity had such a good time
at the free event that, <It
was appreciated enough that
we recovered over $500 in
donations.= She went on to
say, <The band had a great
time and would love to come
back again someday. All told,
C4C feels we accomplished
our goals to create an all-
inclusive, welcoming event
that further connected Sisters
Country.=

Crater Lake road in
national register
CRATER LAKE (AP) 4
Officials say the Army Corps
of Engineers road system at
Crater Lake National Park is
among Oregon9s latest entries
in the National Register of
Historic Places.
Park officials said Tuesday
that the National Park Service
accepted the nomination Aug.
12.
The nomination centered
on a previously little-known
effort by the Army Corps of
Engineers in highway engi-
neering and construction that
happened from 1910 to 1919
in the park.
The Army Corps of
Engineers road system, a
precursor to the historic Rim
Drive, is significant for its
association with the earliest
period of highway engineer-
ing in Oregon.
The road system was the
first federally funded and
supervised highway project
in Oregon and is the only
road project in Oregon attrib-
uted to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers.
The road system is the
fourth historic district listed
at Crater Lake National Park,
with others at Rim Village,
park headquarters, and along
Rim Drive.
