12 Wednesday, February 19, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Obituary DARK MATTER: Science Club hosting an event at The Belfry Kitty Warner December 27, 1928 – February 4, 2020 The only child of John and Ruth Bruns, raised in Camp Sherman, Oregon near the Metolius River. Mom, Grandma, and Great-grandma died as she lived, orchestrating every- thing right up until her final breath when all of her kids were with her. Kitty was one of three or four students attending a one-room grade school in Camp Sherman. She went on to graduate from Sisters High School in 1945, and then attended Lewis and Clark College. She mar- ried her first husband, Wayne Korish, in 1947, and together they brought six children into the world. After Wayne9s untimely death in 1962, Kitty moved her ragged bunch to Bend so she could work full- time. Around the same time, she adopted a seventh child. Kitty married Duke Warner in 1968. They had a wonderful life together until Duke9s passing in 2005. Kitty and Duke established Duke Warner Realty in 1967. The company contin- ues on, now in its 53rd year in Central Oregon. Kitty9s interests in her younger years included horseback riding, her wom- en9s trail-riding group, gar- dening, traveling, and camp- ing. Above all, her main focus was her family, and Tasty THURSDAY Thurs., Feb. 20, 5 to 7 p.m. LIVE MUSIC Sat., Feb. 22, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Joe Fidanzo and Friends 391 91 W W.

Kitty was preceded in death by her husbands, one daughter, Barbara Mann, d a u g h t e r- i n - l a w L i n d a Warner, and son-in-law David Kirbs. She is sur- vived by six children: Kit Korish (wife Marjo), Pat Korish (wife Terry), Lisa Kirbs, Kris Warner, Kim Warner, and Lynn Warner (husband Daren Parker). She is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. At her request, there will be no service. We will all gather for a toast at the fam- ily place in Camp Sherman, later in the spring. Memorial donations are welcome at Partners in Care Hospice, Humane Society of Central Oregon, and Deschutes Land Trust.

Although much has been learned about the gravita- tional nature of dark matter and its central role in shaping stars, galaxies, clusters of gal- axies and even larger struc- tures in the universe, little has been learned about the prop- erties of dark matter particles. <We don9t even know for sure if dark matter is made of particles like every other physical thing we know of,= says Dr. Price. <In this talk, I will describe what we do know and don9t know about this crucial component of the universe, and I9ll explain how fiercely scientists are working to find out just what dark mat- ter is made of.= PHOTO COURTESY OF NASA The Hubble Telescope captures faint light from “homeless” stars, and uses it to trace the location of invisible dark matter. A physicist specializing in elementary particles, Dr. Price holds degrees in physics from Pomona College (BA) and Harvard University (MA and PhD). He is retired from a career at Argonne National Laboratory, where he held the rank of senior physicist and was director of the High Energy Physics Division. He has served on multiple national and international committees for particle phys- ics and related fields, includ- ing the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel and the U.S. federal advisory commit- tee for elementary particle physics. In previous talks for Frontiers in Science, Dr. Price has demonstrated a knack for discussing complex scien- tific topics in terms that are understandable to interested non-scientists, and even to those who are scientists. Introducing Dr. Price will be Dr. Jim Hammond, a retired physicist, lifelong amateur astronomer, leader of the Deschutes Land Trust9s star parties, and a found- ing member of the Sisters Astronomy Club. The evening lecture, spon- sored by the Sisters Science Club, starts at 7 p.m. at The Belfry. Social hour begins at 6 with light fare, beer, and wine available. Admission is $5; teachers and students are admitted free. The Belfry is located at 302 E. Main Ave., Sisters.
