Wednesday, August 18, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon GIANT SPIDER: It9s a friend, likely eating undesirable guests AIRSHOW: Planes, cars, music, fireworks, and more on tap in Madras Continued from page 4 Continued from page 3 nasty venom that causes seri- ous damage to human flesh. However, all you9ve gotta do to keep them out of your domicile is not leave any food lying around that attracts insect scavengers, which the brown recluse loves to eat. Compared to most spiders, they are all legs and very lit- tle body. If you kill a brown recluse to get a positive ID, don9t squash it. Place it all in one piece in a small jar or plas- tic sandwich bag and take it to the local health department. Now& back to the giant European house spider: If you leave it alone, it will probably 4 in spite of its enormous size 4 disappear, like ours did. It may give you a scare once in a while, but just remember that it9s probably taken care of a number of smaller unde- sirable house guests for you. And please send me an email, jimnaturalist@gmail.com, and I9ll put it in my records. Following the music and the fish-fry dinner or other food choices, Friday finishes up with a fireworks display choreographed to music, sponsored by Pacific Power. For the kids there will be bouncy castles. For the not- so-faint-of-heart, High Desert Soaring will give you a pow- erless glider ride for $100. Bend Aircraft will have air- plane rides and Leading Edge Helicopters will give you a lift for a charge. Not all of the planes are propeller-driven. Jerod Flohr will demonstrate a T-6 jet. Renny Price takes the con- trols of Sukhoi SU-29. And Undaunted Airshows, a pairs performance by Stephen C h r i s t o p h e r a n d To d d Rudberg, is likely to raise heart rates. From Arizona Flying Museum, catch a ride on a WWII B-17 flying fortress. Saturday will feature not one but two B-17s in the air: <Ye Olde Pub= and <Sentimental Journey= are two of fewer than 10 remaining B-17s fly- ing in the world. The car show sponsored by Les Schwab is in itself a big draw, say the promoters. The entries include Custom or Import, any year; Muscle Car Stock, any year (no more than two upgrades); Original 4 Pre-1941 (no more than two upgrades); Original 4 1941-1987 (no more than two upgrades; Pickup Truck 4 Pre-1987; Rat Rod or Sports Car, any year; Street Rod 4 1948 and Older; and Street Machine 4 1949 and Newer. <It9s not just an airshow, one of only two in Oregon, It’s not just an airshow ... it’s a fun-filled family festival, one that’s sorely needed in the face of pandemic gloom. — Joe Krenowicz 11 PHOTO PROVIDED The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps. and one of high caliber, but it9s a fun-filled family festi- val, one that9s sorely needed in the face of pandemic gloom,= said Joe Krenowicz, this year9s Airshow chair and director of the Madras Chamber of Commerce.
