“Infinite Stitches” is the
theme of this year’s Sisters

and of the 2016 poster cre-
ated by Sisters artist, Kathy
Deggendorfer.
Staff announced the theme
and major sponsors for the
41st annual Sisters Outdoor
Quilt Show, which is set

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. I was
inspired to create the poster

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.
Collins will kick off
the annual Diane Jacobsen
Speaker Series, sponsored
by the Friends of the Sisters
Library (FOSL). The series is
held every year in the winter
and spring.
His lecture will address
the question of how to keep
the brain healthy as the
body ages. He points to the
current flood of “nostrums
and quackery guarantee-
ing to enhance our mem-
ory and improve our IQ,”
but explores instead “what
exactly is a healthy, aging
brain.”
The presentation will
look at the “practices that
make scientific sense — as
opposed to common sense,

The boys basketball team
finished third at the Sisters
Holiday Tournament, held
Monday through Wednesday,
December 28-30. 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
