Hood collapsed GOVERNMENT CAMP (AP) — Part of a historic glacier cave has collapsed on Mount Hood. KGW-TV reports climber Brent McGregor of Sisters found the collapsed cave, named Snow Dragon, at the end of January. McGregor and his climb- ing partner first discovered Snow Dragon and two other glacier caves five years ago, buried beneath the Sandy Glacier on the northwest side of the mountain. He says the caves had more than a hundred feet of ice above them at that time. McGregor thought it would take 10 or more years for the ice to melt. But last year, he says, massive holes started forming at the top of the caves, leading to Snow Dragon’s collapse. McGregor says other caves will likely meet the same fate soon. He warns the melting ice makes exploring the caves dangerous. TREATING SPORTS INJURIES Children & Adults It was a bluebird day on the mountain for the Oregon School Ski Association (OSSA) State Alpine Championships last week- end at Mt. Bachelor. Friday, March 6 was the Giant Slalom (GS) event, and Saturday, March 7 was the Slalom (SL). From the Outlaws team, three boys and four girls qualified to compete in the champion- ship races. In the boys division, junior and first-year racer Jake Sahlberg placed 27th in the GS championships and 21st in the SL. Team captain and senior Yasha Saldi placed 28th in GS, and 40th in SL. Another first-year competi- tor, freshman Lachlan Wood, ranked 34th in GS and 30th in SL . The boys team placed fifth in both GS and SL team standings. On the girls team, senior and team captain Emily Ausman finished her high school race career as the highest placing Outlaw in the state championships, placing 18th in SL, and 31st in GS. Junior Cammi Benson fin- ished 26th in GS, and 23rd in the SL. Junior Betsy Ausman finished 29th in GS, and 28th in SL. The girls team was fourth overall in SL, and fifth overall in GS.

Saldi won 12th in GS sea- son, 12th in SL season, and 12th in overall GS and SL Combined. Cammi Benson was 14th in GS season, and 15th in GS and SL combined. Two additional awards OSSA honors are the four- year athlete awards and the team spirit award. Seniors Emily Ausman and Yasha Saldi both received recog- nition for competing on the Alpine team all four years of high school. And this year the Outlaws team brought home the prestigious Silver Boot Award for best team spirit. “Team spirit is an integral part of our team,” said Coach Greg Ausman. “We have great team camaraderie. We cheer for each other on the race course and help each other during practice. Sportsmanship is about being humble when you win and congratulating the winners when you don’t. And the par- ents of the Sisters kids vol- unteer at the races more than any other team in the league. We may be the smallest team in the league, but we have the most team spirit.” And the athletes think so, too. The end-of-season awards are a bittersweet finale for the seniors who GO TOUCHLESS Touchless is more hygienic. DAVIS TIRE To fl ush, simply hold your hand over the tank. 260 N.
