lifetime during spring break.

year’s travelers included:

Greaney, Alex Burroughs,
and

ship off to the Greek island
of Mykonos, where they
saw beautiful views and
architecture. They then
cruised to Rhodes, where
they learned the essence of
Greek mythology. They then
drove up to the magical city
of Delphi, driving over high
hills that reminded them of
home.
Cruising back to Athens
for the remainder of the trip,
the students experienced
Greek Independence Day
and observed the famous
Parthenon.
“This was a trip of
a lifetime, filled with
many
memories
and
good times. We will
never forget this trip,” the
group reported.
“Greece was absolutely
breathtaking, and I was
so fortunate and blessed
to get the chance to go
on this trip,” said traveler
Sabrina
Reifschneider.
“We learned so much from
the culture and daily lives
of the Greek people. We
also got the chance to
visit tons of different
places all over Greece.
We rode donkeys, and
ate tons of gelato! I hope
to return to Greece again
someday.”
“We could not have been
able to do all we did without
the help of The Roundhouse
Foundation,” said Galant-
LaPorte.
Thanks
to
The
Roundhouse Foundation,
students were able to apply
for scholarships to pay for
part of their trips. Students
recently presented to
members of The Roundhouse
Foundation thanking them for
their help and contribution to
their trip.

MONTHLY SYMPOSIUM IN SISTERS
Tick Talk — Can I really contract
Lyme Disease in Oregon?
Presenter: Theresa Denham,
President Oregon Lyme Disease Network
Lyme disease has
been traced to near-
ly every state in the
U.S. If you camp,
hike, work, or play
in wooded or grassy
places, you could
be bitten by an in-
fected tick. Learn a
bit about the culprit, their life cycle, diagnostic information, how to
prevent tick bites, and how this infection is spread.
Theresa will share with you how you can protect yourself and others
from this debilitating disease. Theresa has been educating on the pre-
vention of tick illness to high-risk groups in Oregon such as hikers,
hunters, horse riders, BLM and NFS employees since 2004.
Theresa became ill with an unknown disease and was miss-diag-
nosed with multiple sclerosis. Her daughter developed issues of the
central nervous system, cardiac and connective tissue disorders. In
both cases, tick-borne infections were the underlying cause of the ill-
ness. As one of the fi rst Oregon families to be diagnosed with tick-
borne illnesses, they had to navigate through a medical maze and
decided to create the Oregon Lyme Disease Network.

The girls tennis squad
struggled at the district
tournament, which was held
Friday and Saturday, May
13-14 at the Portland Tennis
Center.
Of the eight entrants,
seven of them won at least
one match, which was a plus.
There were so many entered
at the tournament that players
had to start with a pro-set.
In the singles draw, Lacey
Gilmore beat Connolley
from Crook County 8-3 in
the first round. In the second
round, Gilmore lost 7-5, 6-3
to Nan Banforth. Gilmore
led 4-1 in the first set due
some mistakes by Banforth,
but Banforth cleaned up her
game, earned the win, and
went on to win the second
set.
“It was hot (90 degrees)
and Lacey just didn’t have it
to finish,” said Coach Susan
Fullhart.
Hawley Harrer lost 9-7
to Madras’ No. 1 player,
Cebaolos-Hammond, in the
singles draw. Harrer went
into the consolation bracket
and won 8-0, and then lost
9-7 and was eliminated.
Mary Florian lost 8-1 to
Santellano from Madras in
the singles draw, and went
into consolation play. She
won the first round 8-5 and
then lost 8-2.
In doubles play, Alana
Lukens and Mykaila Hartman
posted an 8-5 win over Schell
and Skinkis from Philomath
in the doubles draw. In the
second round, the duo lost
6-1, 7-5, to Schmaltz and
Figuerna from Madras.
Lukens and Hartman had
two set points in the second
set, and were ahead most of
the way but couldn’t get the
job done.
“The girls had beat this
team before,” said Fullhart.
“I felt like we were the better
team, but it just didn’t happen
today.”
Trinity Smith and Emily
Skalda defeated Barr and
Nelson from Philomath 8-5
in their first round pro-set. In
the second round, the combo
lost 6-2, 6-1 to Perth and
Kindell from Cascade.
“We had a good time and
had a lot of fun as a team,”
said Fullhart.
