The SpokeSman • WedneSday, december 8, 2021 P3 FLASHBACK Moonshine arrests and some holiday spirit 100 years ago Dec. 8, 1921 — Dry raid nets maker and 30 gallons of booze Mr. and Mrs. Levi Knorr and Mrs. Knorr’s son, Hans Ray- mond, were taken into custody at their home on Lone Pine Flat Saturday, along with one of the most complete and best- equipped stills that Central Or- egon officers have confiscated, about 30 gallons of moonshine whisky and 40 gallons of mash. The still was cleverly con- cealed, the steam exhaust pipes being a hundred feet or more in length with outlets through a hollow fence post. The mash boiler and worm were copper, the latter encased in a 50-gallon iron drum with running water piped in and out. A high grade product was said to have been turned out by the still. The Knorrs were taken to Madras and in justice court Tuesday Knorr entered a plea of guilty. He was fined $366.25 and given a jail sentence of 60 days which was suspended during good behavior. Mrs. Knorr was dismissed, as was Raymond, after Knorr had pleaded guilty and assumed all responsibility.

And whoever gets it will spread Christmas warmth while en- joying some of their own. The Christmas quilt is the creation of Cindy Murphy’s seventh-grade family and con- sumer skills class at Obsidian Middle School. One of three quilts made by students, the cov- ers are designed to teach sewing skills as well as expose the stu- dents to quilting as an art form and an American tradition. The students are also learn- ing about community respon- sibility. During early brainstorming 2 $ for the project, each group de- cided who they would donate their quilt to. The yellow and black one with the sporty Dal- matian wearing cool sunglasses will go to the Humane Society of Redmond. The humane so- ciety plans to display the quilt at the shelter. Another features multiple pieces of sports equipment in bright, primary colors. That one goes to the Obsidian Booster Club. Raffle tickets for the quilt will be available at basketball games. The booster club is rais- ing money for uniforms and pay-to-play scholarships. The Christmas angel quilt is headed for the Hospice of Red- mond and Sisters silent auc- tion, to be held Saturday. The decision to donate the quilt to Hospice came after stu- dent David Sledge told how the group helped his step-grandfa- ther die with dignity. “It was the first thing that came to my head,” Sledge said. “They did a really good job. they would come every day, two or three times a day, and check on him.” Like the other students in the class, Sledge sewed a nine- block section for the quilt. All students wrote their names on a patch on the back of the blanket. The students, some of whom had no sewing experience, started by sewing patterns on paper with thread. Finally, each sewed a quilt block. The beauty of the finished pieces surprised more than one member of the class, split evenly between boys and girls. “I didn’t know I could sew,” Becci Glover said wonderingly. “When I looked at it, it looked really hard,” Dusty Boren said. Now he knows he can not only sew a quilt but probably other things as well. And Kara Rasmussen, who came to class with no experi- ence at a sewing machine, con- fided, “It’s actually easier than it looks.” Deschutes County Health Services is partnering with Oregon Health Author- ity to offer free drive-thru COVID-19 vaccines for anyone five or older at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond.
