Ruth Raizin of Three

like to say thank you and
commend this community
for stepping up to support
local businesses. Following
our smoke-filled summer,
Jim Cornelius wrote a strong
editorial in The Nugget issue
of September 13, “We are
our own disaster relief pro-
gram,” and the community
is answering the call. As a
business owner, I’ve seen an
immediate and encouraging
response. So to Sisters-area
locals: we notice, and you
do make a difference.
Over 1 million fish evacuated
due to Columbia gorge fire
PORTLAND (AP) —
State officials say more than
1 million fish were evacuated
from the Cascade Hatchery
because of the threat of debris
from a wildfire burning in the
Columbia River Gorge.
The
Oregonian /
OregonLive reports Oregon
Department of Fish and
Wildlife said about 1.65 mil-
lion coho salmon and 132,000
spring Chinook salmon were
to be evacuated Friday and
Saturday.
Officials say rain in the
Columbia River Gorge over
the coming days could cause
mudslides and increased
debris in the water that could
clog screens on the hatchery’s
water intake and cut off water
to the fish.
About a million coho
salmon will be moved to the
Leaburg Hatchery where
they will remain until they
are released into rivers
next spring. The remain-
ing fish will be sent to the
Leavenworth National Fish
Hatchery, Willard National
Fish Hatchery and Sandy Fish
Hatchery.

Girls soccer ties Cottage Grove

The Lady Outlaws played
well in their league opener
and finished the game in
a 1-1 tie at home against
Cottage Grove on Thursday,
September 14.
Cool temperatures and a
6:30 p.m. start made for ideal
conditions for both teams.
Sofia Affatati scored at the
four-minute mark for the
Outlaws, with a nice assist
from Brianna Bachmeier,
and Sisters took an early 1-0
lead.
The game went back and
forth, and with eight min-
utes left in the half the Lions
were able to knock in a goal
to even the score 1-1.
Sisters started to domi-
nate play in the second
half, and had three to four
good opportunities to score.
One of those opportunities
was a fast-break through-
ball, where Rylee Weber
received a pass from Mirjam
Ehrler. Weber dribbled the
ball into the 18-yard box,
but the Lions’ keeper came
out and made a huge save
to keep the game level
at 1-1.

The Lady Outlaws battled to a tie in their league soccer opener.
Outlaws, did a great job and
played extremely well, and
finished with eight saves on
the night.

times to clear the ball.”
Two days earlier, the
Outlaws fell 9-0 on the road
at Henley.
Coach Jacobsen said,

very physical game. They

the circumstances with all
the smoke and indoor prac-
tices, and are looking for-
ward to next week’s games.”

September 19. The Lady
Outlaws will host the Sweet
