Outlaws play with determination
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The young Outlaws
lacrosse squad continues to
hone their skills and improve
their game, but it’s been a
battle all year long as they’ve
faced big schools with strong
programs and deep rosters.
Sisters fought with heart
and determination and didn’t
give up in their games against
Corvallis and Southridge this
past week, but just didn’t
have the experience and man-
power to pull off a win.
Sisters fell to Southridge
12-2 at home on Saturday,
May 6. The Outlaws played
without a couple of their key
players due to injury, and
younger players stepped up.
The Outlaws got off to
a slow start, and at the half
trailed 7-0. In the second half
Gator Haken and Bennett
Lewis were able to score for
the Outlaws.
The Skyhawks won the
ground ball battle with 45,
while the Outlaws only had
25.
Coach Paul Patton noted
Willie Stewart, who he said
played a good game at the
middie position, and the long
stick defenders who got bet-
ter as the game went on.
“Our younger players
that are filling in are getting
a trial by fire,” said Patton.
“The season is nearing its
end, and we need to make the
most of our few remaining
practices and games to keep
getting better.”
Four days earlier, the
Outlaws’ game at Corvallis
ended in a 10-4 loss.
Although the scoreboard
doesn’t reflect it, the contest
was actually a fairly even
match-up.

To prepare for fire season,
FireFree encourages residents
to create and maintain their
defensible space and take
advantage of offers for free
disposal of that yard debris.
The greatest risk of homes
catching fire during a wild-
land fire event is from the
advancing embers, or “fire
brands,” that reach your prop-
erty long before an actual
flame front.
With this in mind, FireFree
reminds you to take a look
around your property in the
“home ignition zone” where
glowing embers can ignite
spot fires and vulnerable areas
like decks, patios and fences
that can spread flames to your
home. And take advantage of
upcoming FireFree recycling
events to dispose of the debris
for free. There will be a dis-
posal event near Sisters at the
Northwest Transfer Station
(68200 Fryrear Rd.) on June
2 and 3, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Visit the FireFree website
at www.firefree.org for more
information.

Spring has finally sprung
in Central Oregon and that
means it’s time to get ready
for fire season. Across
the state and in Deschutes
County, fire departments and
organizations are encouraging
residents to learn about living
in fire adapted communities
and take steps to reduce the
threat of wildfire destroying
lives and homes.
This is the 20th year of
FireFree in Central Oregon,
and program managers report
that all the action by local
residents is moving the nee-
dle toward a safer Central
Oregon. Central Oregon resi-
dents will get a jump on fire
season by capitalizing on this
campaign when they bring
their flammable yard debris to
area collection sites for free.
“Residents in Central
Oregon are no strangers
to wildfire and continue to
show an increasing level of
awareness by participating in
FireFree recycling events,”
said Alison Green, program
director of Project Wildfire.
