Wednesday, August 2, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 25 The Nugget Newspaper Crossword By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — PHOTO BY CHARLIE KANZIG Emma Peel was the top women’s finisher. RUN: Event is a Kiwanis fundraiser for outreach programs Continued from page 1 Scalfone, of Bend, ran most of the race with second- place finisher Dennis Brands, but when they got to the base of Hoodoo, they wished each other well and Scalfone ulti- mately prevailed in 1:34:20 to 1:39:42 for Brands. “We ran together from about the five-mile mark, but from the aid station before the climb to the top we just wished each other good luck and headed toward the sum- mit,” said Scalfone. “Things worked out great though because my Cascade Lakes Relay team was short a man, but Dennis agreed to join our team, so that’s awesome!” Third place overall went to Nathaniel Gunderson in 1:43:25. The women’s winner looked quite chipper after the race as she walked back down the hill to join her mother in her ascent. In her first half- marathon, Emma Peel did not expect to win, but she led from start to finish, defeating last year’s champion, Bryn Singleton of Sisters, by just over three minutes with a time of 2:09:36. Singleton clocked 2:12:40 and third place went to Kathy Fecteau in 2:18:20. “This was my first half- marathon, and it was really fun but really tough and the last two miles just murdered me,” she said. After her win, Peel walked back down the mountain to meet her mother, Anne, and walked back up to the finish with her. The victors each went home with a season pass at Hoodoo in reward for their winning efforts. L a u r e n Wi s n i e w s k i and Sarah Courtney from Corvallis took the challenge in stride, smiling brightly on their way back down the hill to the post-race festivities. “The sand was surprising, and we had to dodge some motocrossers and ATVs, which kicked up a bunch of sand, but you can’t beat the beauty of this course. It was great and we plan to come back,” said Wisnewski. Race director Suzy Ramsay and the many volun- teers from the Kiwanis Club of Sisters got praise from run- ner after runner for the good care the participants received both during and after the race. The Camp Sherman Hasty Team (Search and Rescue) helped sweep the course and provide aid to runners. Cold drinks and water- melon provided welcome refreshment at the top and a full meal of barbecue beef sandwiches and all the fixings greeted runners in the shade of Hoodoo Lodge, which helped runners replenish energy spent on the course. Proceeds from the race go to the many charitable proj- ects supported by the Sisters Kiwanis, including the Food Bank and scholarships for graduating seniors from Sisters High School.
