Jean Wells Keenan, chair emeritus and founder of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt S h o w, c o m m e n t e d o n Deggendorfer’s poster art. “I always enjoy working with our local artists who are inspired by the environment of Sisters,” she said. “Kathy’s work is iconic, and her work reflects all things Sisters. When you see her work it has that Central Oregon sense of place while telling her own unique story.” Kathy Deggendorfer described her poster: “It is an honor to have cre- ated the image that symbol- izes the 2016 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. ‘Infinite Stitches’ was a beautiful theme to interpret as a painting.

Scientist reveals secrets for brain health Outlaws host holiday tournament By Sue Stafford Correspondent Robert Collins M.D., retired neurologist and Sisters resident, will speak on “Secrets for a Healthy Brain” on Sunday, January 10, at 1:30 p.m. in the Sisters Library Community Room.

Philomath took championship honors and Henley was runner-up. Estacada, Mazama, Baker, Banks and Madras were also in attendance for the annual event. Sisters started the tour- ney with a disappointing 45-37 loss against Estacada. The Rangers played tough defense and were very patient on offense. The Outlaws were able to put fairly good pressure on the ball, and forced many turnovers in the first three quarters, but in the final period struggled on both ends of the court. The Outlaws were unable to score or get the stops. They missed many looks at the basket and turned the ball over multiple times. Sisters was up by three at the half, and up by nine as they headed into the fourth period, but they were sloppy in their fundamentals and let the game slip away. “It looked like a lot of one-on-one effort and not the team play that this team is building a reputation on,” said Coach Rand Runco. “We did not play with energy, and definitely did not look like ourselves. Everyone was disappointed.” Steen Johnson was the Outlaws’ leading scorer with 11 points. Scott Waddell recorded 10 points, and Tyler Head added eight. Rebounds were spread throughout the See BASKETBAll on page 19 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR Sisters Area Photography Club 2nd Wednesday, 4 p.m., Sisters Library community room. 541-549-6157.
