Due to inclement weather,
the intake of art for the
Friends of the Sisters Library
12th Annual Art Exhibit has
been postponed to Sunday,
January 15, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
in the community room at the
library.
The exhibit will open
two days later on Tuesday,
January 17. Voting for the
People’s Choice Awards
will begin the same day and
run through Friday, January
27. Ballots will be available
in the library’s community
room, and votes may be cast
for up to three works of art.
The art will be on display
throughout the library, so be
sure to browse all the rooms.
Final opportunity for vot-
ing and announcement of
the winners will take place
at the artist reception on
Friday, January 27, from 6
to 7:30 p.m. The reception is
part of the Fourth Friday Art
Stroll for January. Beverages
and hors d’oeuvres will be
served as the public meets
the artists and views their
work.
Two musical groups will
be playing throughout the
evening. The Central Oregon
Recorder Consort with mem-
bers of Renaissance Sisters
will be playing mostly Irish
tunes. The Tollgate Quartet
provides music with two
fiddles, cello, flute, autoharp
and guitar.
The exhibit will be on dis-
play until February 24. About
50 artists will be exhibiting
artwork in many different
mediums, including sculp-
ture, fiber art, painting, jew-
elry, collage, woodworking,
pottery, and photography.
Last year’s opening recep-
tion was very well attended,
with many votes cast for
the eventual four People’s
Choice winners: Jennifer
Hartwig; Randall Tillery;
Steve Matthews; and Linda
Hanson.
Again this year there will
be a silent auction of addi-
tional artwork donated by
participating artists, to help
raise funds for the programs
and materials at the library.
Last year’s auction brought
in $900 for the library.
The annual FOSL art
exhibit began in 2006 when
the current library building
opened and the art commit-
tee was formed. The art show
affords the community the
opportunity to view and sup-
port a large number of Sisters
Country artists all at one
time, in one location. In addi-
tion, artists donate 10 percent
of any sales to FOSL to help
promote the programs at the
library.

The wrestling squad trav-
eled to the Bend Invitational
on Saturday, January 7, and
finished fifth in the tourna-
ment. Mountain View was
the first-place finisher with
303.5 points, Bend was run-
ner-up at 240, and La Pine
took third with a score of
221.5, Summit fourth at 178,
and Sisters fifth with 84.
Cole Pade and Casey
Warburton both earned
third-place finishes for the
Outlaws. Pade (138-pound
weight class) battled back
through consolations to earn
a third-place medal.
“Cole again showed how
tough he is and that every
wrestler has to worry that
they might meet him in com-
petition,” said Coach John
Downs. “Cole made sure the
No. 1-seeded guy had to earn
his way to get past him and
Pade only lost to him 6-5.”
Warburton took third at
220 pounds.
“Casey is excited that he’s
lost weight to get to 220,”
said Downs. “This is his
first tournament this season
at this weight and he’s more
competitive, which is evident
with his third-place finish.”
Jake Stevens worked
hard for fourth-place at 152
pounds. Freshmen Dylan
Vantress (106 pounds),
Garret Reid (132 pounds),
and sophomore Dalton Ford
(120 pounds) all finished in
fifth place.
Brody Engstrom, heavy-
weight and transfer from
Indiana, also finished fifth.
I am very excited to
see what Brody’s
future holds with the
Outlaws, as he is only
a sophomore.
— Coach John Downs
“I am excited to have
Brody on the team,” said
Downs. “In his only tourna-
ment in the last two years,
and in a very difficult weight
class of 285, he was able to
pin two of his opponents. I
am very excited to see what
Brody’s future holds with
the Outlaws, as he is only a
sophomore.”

Sixth place went to Sal
Gibney, Ethan Martin,
Rylan Carter (120 pounds),
and Patrick Dingeman (195
pounds).
Gibney took sixth at 170
pounds.
“Sal stepped up into the
170-pound weight class and
replaced our starter position
normally held by a junior,”
said Downs. “Sal thinks of
himself as a first-round guy
only. But, he proved this
weekend that he can fight on
into the second rounds. His
future looks great with the
Outlaws.”
Freshman Martin took
sixth at 182 pounds. Downs
noted that a sixth-place fin-
ish is impressive for a fresh-
man who has to wrestle
upperclassmen in his weight
class.
“I was really proud of
all the guys,” said Downs.
“We didn’t have many prac-
tices this past week, and
we’ve missed three tour-
naments due to weather.
It was exciting to get the
team back into competition
mode.”
The Outlaws will com-
pete in the Oregon Classic on
Friday and Saturday, January
13-14.
