LAKEVIEW (AP) —
Former Deschutes County
District Attorney Patrick
Flaherty has withdrawn from
the race for Lake County DA.
His decision leaves
former Klamath County
Deputy District Attorney
Sharon Forster as the only
candidate.
Forster tells the Herald
and News of Klamath Falls
she is renovating a house
in Lakeview and intends to
move there within the next
month.
Flaherty edged Forster
by less than 25 votes dur-
ing the May primary and
indicated a willingness to
move to sparsely populated
Lake County if he won
in November. Instead, he
dropped out Aug. 31, citing
personal and professional
reasons.
He provided no elabo-
ration and did not return
requests for comment from
The Bulletin newspaper of
Bend.
Flaherty served one term
as Deschutes County DA, a
stint marred by a lawsuit filed
by four deputy district attor-
neys he fired. He lost his re-
election campaign in 2014.
9. The meet was highlighted
by a win from Sisters runner
Brandon Pollard and a strong
showing from the Outlaws
girls team.
Bend High’s large team
rounded out a field of com-
peting smaller schools includ-
ing Yamhill-Carlton, Sweet
Home, Crook County, La
Pine, Trinity Lutheran and, of
course, Sisters.
As would be expected, 5A
Bend dominated the team race
with 25 points, but the Outlaw
girls produced a good show-
ing to place a respectable sec-
ond place with 51.
“The girls showed up as a
real team, which was great to
see early in the season,” said
Josh Nordell, head coach of
the Outlaws. “They pushed
one another, running in pairs
and threes, which is what we
like to see.”
Sophie Borders and Anna
Bartlett ran near one another
throughout the 5,000-meter
course and finished in sixth
(21:55) and seventh (22:03)
places respectively.
Sophomores Molly Winter
(23:28) and Tate Ricker
(23:40) came through next
in 11th and 12th places, and

outstanding time of 19:16.
Jordan Pollard is now two-
for-two in races this season,
as he was never challenged
in the boys race. He took top
honors with a time of 17:39,
21 seconds ahead of the
runner-up.
Fellow junior Cole Pade
ran what Nordell considered
his best race ever on his way
to seventh place in 18:36.
Freshman Josh Liddell, in his
first high school race, placed
16th in 19:16, Peyton Myhre
(20:28) came through as the
fourth scorer in 29th place,
and Jack Berg wrapped up the
scoring in 35th place with a
time of 21:42.
“Our boys team will just
get better and better as we
train through September,”
said Nordell.

The coach felt quite
pleased with both teams’
efforts, especially considering
the squad was out at 6 a.m.
setting up over 2,000 chairs
for the Sisters Folk Festival.
“They had every reason to
be a little tired from the long
day, but they came out ready
to run,” he said.
The Outlaws travel to
the Seaside Three Course
Challenge this week-
end at Camp Rilea, which
attracts over 2,000 runners
from through Oregon and
Washington.
