Both teams turned the ball over multiple times in the contest, but some of Sisters’ turnovers were costly. Twice in the game the Outlaws forced a turnover, and imme- diately gave the ball back to the Huskies on the following play. Sweet Home opened the scoring midway through he first quarter with a three-yard TD run by James, but did not convert on their two-point conversion attempt. With just over two minutes left in the period, the Huskies scored again, and failed on the two- point attempt. At the close of the first quarter, Sweet Home held a 12-0 advantage over the Outlaws. Neither team scored in the second quarter, and at the half the Huskies held onto their 12-point lead. Sisters got on the score- board three minutes into the third quarter. The Outlaws scored on a 30-yard touch- down pass from Taylor Fendall to Corbin Sharp. There was a botched snap on the PAT attempt, but Christopher Luz was able to score on a run for two points, and narrow the score to 12-8. The Huskies responded with a 40-yard TD run two By Andrew Selsky Associated Press PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Korbin Sharp catches a pass and breaks loose for an Outlaw touchdown. minutes later.

Three Sisters Chiropractic & Pain Management Dr. Inice Gough, DC, CCT, CCST 541.549.3583 SALEM (AP) — The Rus- sian government tried but failed to access the Oregon Secretary of State’s computer network during the 2016 elec- tion, officials said on Friday. Oregon learned about the attempt in a brief phone call from an official from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to Election Director Steve Trout, Debra Royal, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, told The Associated Press. “Today, Oregon received confirmation from the Depart- ment of Homeland Security that Oregon’s security mea- sures thwarted Russian gov- ernment attempts to access the Secretary of State com- puter network during the 2016 general election,” Richardson said in a statement . Richardson credited “the strength of the network secu- rity program we have in place” to preventing a Rus- sian intrusion. However, three weeks after the election in November, the secretary of state’s office released an audit sharply criti- cizing inadequate security of state agencies’ computer pro- grams and data. That audit, carried out under Richard- son’s predecessor, Jeanne P. Atkins, said the weaknesses increased the risk of a cyber attack. The weaknesses put individuals’ private informa- tion at risk, including income tax data, Social Security num- bers, driver license informa- tion and medical records, the audit said. The Employment Depart- ment’s computer system was hacked in November 2014. The secretary of state’s own website was hacked the same year. But the audit described no election vulnerability. In Oregon, voting is done by paper ballots that are mailed in or inserted into secured drop-off boxes. Results are counted on com- puters that are not connected to the Internet.
