In fact, the majority of the competitors come from outside the area, which is a boon for Sisters-area restau- rants and hotels, according to Meissner. “More than half of the Rumblers are from outside of Central Oregon, which should mean some significant tourist dollars for the area,” he said. The quality of the 350-member 20-mile field looks strong as well, accord- ing to Meissner. “I am thinking the win- ner will be under two hours, which would be quite a feat,” he said. Thomas Morgan returns as the defending champion, along with runner-up and for- mer Olympian Ian Dobson. Scott Williams, a rookie to the rumble, but with strong cre- dentials, also may challenge. The 20-miler begins at 9 a.m. The winners of each race will win $100 in prize money, while masters winners (40+) will earn $50. Finishers will feast on food from Longboard Louie’s, along with treats from Sisters Bakery. The Peterson Ridge Rumble has become one of the favorite trail races in Oregon.

The Bulletin reports that the university is on pace to hold inaugural classes on the 10-acre site when the fall semester begins. Construction crews are now working on the interior of the university’s 44,000-square-foot academic building, the first structure crews began building. Though classes can begin in a number of months, the residence hall won’t be ready until winter 2017. Students who enroll for classes before then will be housed in an old dorm on Central Oregon C o m m u n i t y C o l l e g e ’s campus. low-key but well-organized, dog-friendly (20 mile), and on some of the most scenic trails in the state.

LETTERS Continued from page 2 To the Editor: I want to urge all voters to vote yes on Measure 9-108 in the upcoming election on May 17. Our community needs to move forward together without biases formed in the past or on misinformation. Take the time to consider the facts, attend a meeting and find out what it is really all about, visit the website www.ourschools ourcommunity.org, ask questions and get involved. We need to move forward to strengthen our schools, which are a foundation of our outstanding community and a commu- nity-wide asset. It will only make us better. It will make us stronger. Let the children and the fami- lies of Sisters know that you care and believe in them. That faith will be returned to our community. Believe in the people you voted into office to lead us and our children in the right direction. They truly care — I have witnessed it — and they have the best interest of our children and our community at heart. Jennifer King s s s To the Editor, Thank you to The Nugget for their great reporting in general and especially for the recent special report on the local real estate market. I would like to clarify one quote in the article regarding sales at Black Butte Ranch. What I meant to say was not that sales were flat, but that the average sales price per square foot has been flat for the last two years. The number of sales at the Ranch has increased dramatically for each of the last two years. Average sales price per square foot is one of the tools we use to begin the process of determining the price at which a home should sell in the current market.
