operations.
Susan Skakel, a road guard
and resident of Bend, works
12-hour shifts watching the
roads.
“It’s a little like public
affairs,” she said.
Making a good impres-
sion, in what may be some-
one’s first interaction with the
fire, is important to her.
On a temporary hiatus
from her job as an environ-
mental planner with Forest
Service, she works with fire
officials in enforcing safety
and assisting people with any
questions they might have
or those needing alternative
route information.
“People think we’re here
to only stop people from
sneaking across, but we’re
here more to help people
understand, as well as protect
them and homeowners,” she
said.
Susan is well versed in the
current conditions of the fire
and provides people informa-
tion about alternate routes and
fire status. As well as provid-
ing access for residents closer
to the fire.
Skakel isn’t a wildland
firefighter, but she appreciates
her role with the public.
“I enjoy meeting all the
people and getting to know
them,” she said. “I love
Sisters and wish there was no
harm from the fire. It’s really
sad to see.”

The Lady Outlaws vol-
leyball team sailed right to
the top to take champion-
ship honors at the Mt. View
Tournament held on Friday,
September 1.
Sisters dominated pool
play with victories over
Willamette, South Albany,
and Redmond. They earned
the first-place seed and got a
bye in the first round.
The Outlaws faced
Willamette again in the semi-
finals and recorded the win in
two sets with scores of 25-17
and 25-12.
Sisters swept the
Ridgeview Ravens in the
championship game 25-17,
25-14. The first set started off
perfectly with a great block
by Sam Silva and Erynn
Ricker. The Outlaws got on
the scoreboard and held the
lead the entire way.
The Ravens came out with
strong serves to start the sec-
ond set and took a 4-1 lead
over the Outlaws. Sisters ral-
lied behind great serves from
Kendra Sitz and stole the lead
to go ahead 5-4. The Outlaws
again maintained the lead
until the final whistle blew.
Hawley Harrer led the
team with eight kills, fol-
lowed by Ashlynn Cantwell
who recorded five. Sitz and
Jessie Brigham combined for
15 digs.
Harrer led the Outlaws in
the tournament with 41 total
kills, 27 assists, 18 digs and
seven aces. Brigham tallied
39 digs and served up nine
aces. Cantwell had 20 kills,
and Stiz finished with 18 digs
and nine aces. Cassidy Ling-
Scott dished out 39 assists.
Three days earlier, the
Outlaws kicked off the sea-
son with a win over Crook
County. Scores were 25-11,
25-14, 24-26, and 25-21.
Sam Silva sparked the
Outlaws at the service line
in the first set. Sisters was up
7-4 when Sam stepped up to
the service line, and with per-
fect serves took the team to
a 17-4 advantage. Silva fin-
ished at 100 percent from the
service line on the night.
Jessie Brigham was solid
and consistent at libero and
had a great all-around game.
Jessie recorded 15 digs, six
assists, and served up one
ace.
Harrer led the team with
21 kills, and also dished out
16 assists. Cantwell had 12
kills and three aces in the
contest.
Ling-Scott finished with
23 assists, and Erynn Ricker
posted six blocks.
New head coach Rory
Rush was happy with the
Lady Outlaws’ first week of
matches.
“We worked well together
and did a nice job execut-
ing our offense,” said Rush.
“However, we also need to
realize we need to focus on
the little details of our game
to compete with the top teams
in the state. We are looking
forward to putting in focused
