The boys lacrosse team
kicked off their season
with an exhibition game at
Burns against Nadzitsaga
on Saturday, March 15, and
walked away with a 12-2 win.
Chance Hailey scored four
goals, Mark Fish recorded
three, Josiah Jones tallied
two and freshman Magnus
Sampson scored his first-ever
varsity goal.
“We are very close to the
program from Burns, so after
the game we treated them to
a joint barbecue,” said Coach
Andrew Gorayeb. “It was a
perfect start to the lacrosse
season. Everyone played well,
everyone learned, and every-
one contributed.”
The Outlaws will play
at home against Liberty on
Friday, March 20. The game
is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
The following day Sisters will
play at home against Glencoe
with a 1 p.m. start time.
The organizers for Sisters
Folk Festival’s annual My
Own Two Hands Community
Arts Celebration (MOTH)
have chosen the poster art for
2015’s event.
“This year’s theme is
‘Imagine,’ and when we saw
this painting it was an obvi-
ous choice, said Sisters Folk
Festival’s development direc-
tor, Katy Yoder.”
Artist Kimry Jelen painted
a horse that seems to fly off
the canvas in a spot-on depic-
tion of a horse’s luminous
eyes, grace and power. Her
creation leaves an open door
to imagining a horse with
wings and the feeling of the
rush of wind as it sails by into
the unknown.
Between her dressage rid-
ing and painting, Jelen took a
moment to reflect on her gift
to My Own Two Hands.
“This community was
incredibly generous and
helped me make a once-in-
a-lifetime opportunity come
true last year; to show my art-
work in France at the World
Equestrian Games! The theme
this year, ‘Imagine,’ sparked
memories of how my journey
to France started two years
ago,” she said.
The magical moment
that inspired Jelen’s paint-
ing began when she joined
horse-people from all over the
world in Hawaii to learn about
TTouch.
“We did a group journey,
guided by Mrs. Tellington-
Jones herself, where she asked
us to imagine our horses with
wings carrying us into the
future...
“Painting with this vision
in mind, memories of my trip
to France started popping up
... the architecture made of
earth, gorgeous textural build-
ings filled with saints ... espe-
cially the amazing people I
met. Imagine was a very posi-
tive experience, there’s even
some world peace mixed in
the colors.”
Jelen’s generosity typi-
fies the giving spirit in Sisters
from the creative community.
“This painting is a ‘thank-
you note.’ I’m paying it for-
ward to our future world lead-
ers that this special Sisters
community cultivates,” said
Jelen.
“Art is important for some
students; it offers them a cre-
ative and healthy opportu-
nity for self-exploration. In
the spirit of MOTH, I hope
this painting will enable the
Americana Project to continue

its good works in the schools.”
