Candy donations
will go to troops
Football win secures play-in game
Sisters, Oregon — Is
your house overrun with
Halloween candy after the
holiday every year? Here is
your chance to reduce the
amount of sugary treats and
help our troops and veterans
at the same time.
The Sisters Parent-
Teacher Community, SPTC,
is hosting their third-annual
Halloween Candy Drive from
November 1-4. Students, par-
ents and community mem-
bers can bring in extra candy
to the front office of Sisters
Elementary School.
Candy will be collected
and split between local non-
profits Caring for Troops and
Operation Gratitude. Both
nonprofits create gift boxes
and ship them to deployed
soldiers. Operation Gratitude
also creates boxes for veter-
ans and first-responders.
The Outlaws took care
of business at home with a
43-28 victory over Sweet
Home on Friday, October 21.
Prior to the game the Outlaws
recognized and honored their
11 seniors, which included
Tucker Brink, Ryan Cook,
Minam Cravens, Johnny
and Jacob Gurney, Tanner
and Tyler Head, Will Miner,
Kade Owen, Ben Saba and
Jake Welch.
Christopher Luz had a
big night with 192 yards and
three touchdowns on five
receptions in Sisters’ win
over the Huskies.
Minam Cravens kicked a
23-yard field goal in the first
quarter to open the scoring
for the Outlaws when their
opening drive stalled deep in
Sweet Home’s territory.
The Huskies put together
a 15-play drive that chewed
up the majority of the sec-
ond quarter. Sisters answered
right back with a long drive
that was capped by a one-
yard rushing TD off the left
side. Cravens’ kick gave the
Outlaws their 10th point.
Sweet Home scored
again on a breakdown in the
Outlaws’ secondary and the
Huskies regained the lead.
Later in the period, Jacob
Stevens scored on a nice
25-yard run, but the PAT was
blocked to make it 16-12 for
the Outlaws at the half.
Sisters came out in the
second half with fierce deter-
mination and dominated
“Last year our Halloween
candy drive produced 107
pounds of treats for the
troops,” said event coordina-
tor Erin Borla. “I think we can
beat that record this year!”

State Police see spike in
poaching in Central Oregon
BEND (AP) — Oregon
State Police has seen a spike
in poaching in some parts of
Central Oregon just days into
the elk-hunting season.
The Bulletin reports
that Senior Trooper Greg
Love, who patrols La Pine,
Sunriver, southern Deschutes
County and northern Klamath
County, says since the elk
season started Saturday there
have already been five reports
of poaching in his district. He
says a typical season has two.
Also a problem is mule
deer poaching. Love says an
average year sees as many as
four poached deer, but this
year there have been at least
10 instances of poaching.
OSP Sgt. Lowell Lea,
who oversees all of Central
Oregon, says he hasn’t
checked the numbers but that
he feels this year isn’t above
average. Regardless, he says
poaching is a serious issue.

play. Scoring plays included
a 55-yard punt return for
a touchdown by Luz on a
well-executed punt return, a
79 and a 23-yard touchdown
pass from Tanner Head to
Luz, and a seven-yard run by
Jacob Gurney.
Jacob Gurney played well
for the Outlaws in a new
position at defensive end, and
Will Miner had a nice inter-
ception on a punt-fake on a
fourth down. Gurney led all
tacklers with five tackles and
three assists.
Tanner Head threw three
TD passes and was nine-
for-14 passing with 212
yards.
Coach Gary Thorson said,
“We did some very good
things at times, but turnovers
(six) haunted us again this
week. If we don’t fix that
issue quick, as well as being
better out of the gate, our
post-season will not last very
long.
“We got some great
special-teams’ play, in par-
ticular the punt return unit,
who blocked well for Luz all
night and helped us win the
field-position battle. While
we have come a long way
since the start of the year,
I still believe this team can
continue to improve and we
can be dangerous if we stay
healthy and take care of the
ball better. Our offensive
line is playing very well as a
unit, and I believe our pass-
ing game is developing nicely
as well.”
The win secured a home
game in the play-in round,
which will be held on Friday,
October 28. The Outlaws will
play Klamath Union.

With my willing heart, I am here to give all that I can for the
advancement of the City of Sisters.
I want to serve as a Council-person in the City of Sisters. I will
