Wednesday, May 6, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Regional lacrosse teams coming to Sisters Lacrosse teams from across the Pacific Northwest are set to arrive in town for the Sisters Annual Lacrosse Invitational (SALI). Teams will begin arriving on Friday evening and stay through Sunday after- noon, May 10. The SALI tournament draws teams primarily from Oregon, but teams will also be traveling from as far as Idaho and Lake Tahoe. This premiere event was first founded by the Outlaws Lacrosse Club and is being carried on by the club and Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD). Sisters High School Varsity Lacrosse Coach Andrew Gorayeb said, “Outlaws Lacrosse and I love the fact we can bring all these peo- ple to Sisters for this eco- nomic opportunity to gather around lacrosse and sporting competition.” Seventy teams with an average of 15-20 players, along with their families, provide a huge boost to the Central Oregon economy. To incentivize teams and parents to stay at area resorts, Black Butte Ranch and Eagle Crest offered discounts to par- ticipants of SALI.

This “Town Hall” format requires the public to think of questions pertaining to events of the 1850s-1860s. Mr. Lincoln will tour the camps and review the troops as he so famously did 150 years ago.

See CIVIl War on page 13 Sisters Dance Academy took 13 dancers to com- pete at the I Love Dance Competition in Portland the weekend of April 25. This was the first year the dance academy has had a performance and competition team and set high goals to attend their first competition this year. The performance ensem- ble includes two teams — the Junior Ensemble (dancers age 10-12) and the Senior Ensemble (dancers age 12-15). Each group entered one group number and they also had four soloists com- pete in different styles. The soloists, Lexie Miller (hip hop), Hope Beckwith (second place, lyrical), Olivia Bertagna (lyrical), and Rachel Lilley (first place, song and dance) performed very well in their divisions. The senior group (True Duerden, Ashonte Hull, Abi Manley and Makenna Liddell) competed against six other groups in their age divi- sion and placed second in the Variety Arts category. The emotional nature of their number caught the judge’s attention. The title of this piece, “Malala’s Endeavor,” depicted the story of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. When she was only 12 years old she survived a shooting, targeted for actively fighting for the opportunity for education for everyone in Pakistan. The senior dancers’ piece depicts this struggle and held all in attendance captivated. The junior group (Hope Beckwith, Olivia Bertagna, Brooklyn Liddell, Iris Diez, Emma Farley, Bevyn Dyer, Lexie Miller, Rachel Lilley and Kailey Mannhalter) competed against two other groups in their age division and placed second in the Song and Dance category. The big triumph of the week- end was the junior team win- ning the award for “Best Musicality” overall, out of See daNCerS on page 4 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR Central Oregon Fly Tyers Guild 4th Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For location information: 541-549-2072.
