Quilters present gift to
Sisters history museum
By Sue Stafford

PHOTO PROVIDED
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Corporal Jason Pollock and Patrol Deputy Clark Linden visited Black Butte
School, which is launching an essay contest on law enforcement to memorialize the late Camp Sherman
Resident Deputy Dave Blann.
This past October, the
Sisters History Museum
hosted a collaborative exhibit
of quilts created by members
of local quilting guilds in
honor of the 100th anniver-
sary of the ratification of the
19th Amendment on August
18, 1920.
The Amendment states,
<The rights of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any State
on account of sex. Congress
shall have the power to
enforce this article by appro-
priate legislation.=
The museum was
recently presented with
commemorative gifts as a
reminder of the 100th anni-
versary of the suffrage
amendment. A quilted table
runner/wall hanging was
crafted by Susan Cobb, Diane
Tolzman, and Linda Weick
in the suffragette colors of
purple, gold, and white, plus
two sashes in the same col-
ors reminiscent of those worn
by the women who marched,
demonstrated, and spoke
in support of the suffrage
movement.
The two sashes are each
secured with antique pins
similar to those popular a
century ago. The squares of
the runner contain signatures
of the women whose quilts

Essay contest honors
Deputy Dave Blann
By Katy Yoder

Black Butte School stu-
dents in Camp Sherman
were finally back in the
classroom with teachers
and classmates on January
11. Their teacher, Delaney
Sharp told them they were
having a special visit
from Bethanne Kronick
Blann, who told them
about the <Deputy Dave=
Memorial Essay Contest.
Accompanying Bethanne
were Jefferson County
Sheriff9s Office Corporal
Jason Pollock and Patrol
Deputy Clark Linden.
The officers were there to
talk about the important
role law enforcement offi-
cers, like her late husband,
Dave Blann, play in the
community.
Students9 eyes focused
on the equipment each offi-
cer wore on their vests and
belts. Their masked faces
didn9t hide their curios-
ity about being a police
officer. Bethanne stood in
front of a display with her
husband9s photograph, his
badge, and other cherished
items. She began the pre-
sentation by asking the
students to think about
what their first job might
be when they grow up.
<Do you want to do
something you really love
doing that makes you
happy?= she asked.
Bethanne told students
that the man everyone knew
as <Deputy Dave= loved his
job being Camp Sherman9s
resident deputy.
<He came home at night
and often told me how

<The past year has been
immensely challenging for

global pandemic has shuttered

from some of the things we
hold dear as a community,=
