calendar Zane and Sage Bader, along with their youngest brother Ace, are fortunate to have found a calling so young in life. “They have been so passionate about their sport,’ says their mother, Hannah Bader. Their passion is BMX racing, and Zane, 15, and Sage, 13, parlayed their love of the sport to qualifying spots on Team USA in March of this year in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The brothers, and the family, will travel to Belgium, July 23 through the 28, for the BMX World Championships. The brothers also have an entrepreneurial spirit to them. “They have to earn part of their fees,” Hannah Bader says. Part of that is the making and selling their handmade greeting card brand of “Extra Happy.” Another part happens Saturday with the Bike Swap & BBQ Fundraising Event to help defray costs. This is big for the BMX community in the Pacific Northwest, where weather hampers efforts to train year-round. It’s also big for the Bader family, who moved to the Creswell area about a year ago from Hawaii. “They’re just starting to be more serious about this,” Hannah Bader says of her sons. The Bike Swap & BBQ fundraising event for the Bader brothers is 10 am to 2 pm Saturday, June 15, at the Emerald Valley BMX track, 2715 Leo Harris Parkway, across from Autzen Stadium. The bike swap is FREE. The BBQ and the “Fun & Funky racing” at 12:30 pm is donation. – Dan Buckwalter Burlesque 101 workshop, 12:30-2pm, Spectrum, 150 W. Broadway. $25.
