are registered.
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. Meissner believes
this comes from a combina-

Construction of the new
Oregon State University
Cascades Campus is on track
to allow the university to hold
classes this fall.
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

in the state.

would be quite a feat.

In addition to the finish
line at Sisters Middle School,
spectators can view the run-
ners crossing Three Creek
Road about a mile south
of town, but are cautioned
to use extra care if driving
in the area as well as along
Edgington Road and on the
McKenzie Highway near the
middle school.

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.

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.
