Wednesday, November 2, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Wounded swan cared for in Sisters By Jim Anderson Correspondent Wildlife agents found a severely wounded adult trum- peter swan at the Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area last week and trans- ported the bird to Broken Top Veterinarian Clinic located on Highway 20 between Bend and Sisters. The wounded bird was checked over by the staff of Broken Top who con- tacted Elise Wolf of Native Bird Care, a Sisters wild- life rehabber. After a quick analysis of the condition of the swan, Wolf took it to the Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates over in Springfield for care. It took over four hours for Dr. Curt Daly and his staff to remove shotgun pellets lodged throughout the swan’s body, and repair two broken bones in the left wing. That’s when the laborious task of caring for the swan became a full-time job for Wolf. She has specific expe- rience with swans. In 2014, Wolf became See SWAN on page 31 PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Malachy Stndstrom is an ace player for the Ottlaws. Sisters artist honored at museum art show By Ste Stafford Correspondent Sisters artist Randall Tillery got a pleasant surprise at the closing reception for the 2016 Favell Museum Art Show held Saturday, October 22 in Klamath Falls: He received the People’s Choice/ First Place Award. “I was extremely hon- ored to receive this award,” Tillery told The Nugget. “The caliber of art in the show was exceptional. The 32 artists that were juried into the show comprised of outstanding art- ists from California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Their work included contemporary, representational wall art and sculpture. My award-win- ning painting, ‘Along Hwy. 126,’ is a painting that I did of a scene that one can see on the drive between Sisters and Redmond. It’s one of the local scenes that I am contin- ually drawn to and excited to paint.” The Favell Museum was built to showcase Gene Favell’s private collection and to share it with all who visit. The museum has been See TILLERY on page 27 Sundstrom is soccer Player of the Year By Rongi Yost Correspondent Senior Malachy Sundstrom was named the Sky-Em Player of the Year, an honor he also claimed last season. Sundstrom played for- ward and scored 18 goals and recorded nine assists for the Outlaws this year. He currently holds the record for second all-time in goals scored and assists at Sisters High School. “Malachy is a huge com- petitor, and has a nose for the goal,” said Coach Rob Jensen. “He makes defenders miss and creates opportuni- ties for his teammates.” The Outlaws had a very strong squad this year, and in addition to Sundstrom, four other players earned first- team honors, including Asher Bachtold, Keegan Greaney, Minam Cravens and Ryan Funk. Bachtold (sophomore) was a first-team pick at cen- ter-midfield. Asher moved into the center-midfield role this year and proved to be the best player in the league at that position. “Asher was a catalyst for both our defense and our offense, as well as a leader on the field,” said Jensen. “Asher is the hockey assist for the team (assist to the assist) and makes us tick.” Greaney (senior) played mostly at center-back as a defender for the Outlaws, and his abilities were evident every time he stepped onto the field. “Keegan is the best athlete on the field, and with that, he also improved his skills in the off-season,” said Jensen. “Keegan played at center- back and also saw some time at outside-midfield, and he constantly thwarted the See SUNDSTROM on page 27 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Al-Anon Monday, noon, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church; Wednesday, 6 p.m., Episcopal Church of the Transfi guration. 541-549-8737 or 541-549-1527.
