Fire personnel extracted one driver from a vehicle involved in a three-car
crash on Highway 20 on Monday, December 18.
Driver extricated from
three-car wreck
Cloverdale and Sisters
firefighters were involved in
their weekly training exer-
cises on Monday, December
18, at 7 p.m., when they were
called out to respond to a
three-car wreck on Highway
20 at Plainview Road.
According to Cloverdale
Fire District reports, the
wreck involved a Subaru
Outback, a Toyota Camry
and a Chevy pickup truck,
and two of those vehicles had
collided head-on at highway
speeds.
The single occupant of
the pickup truck was extri-
cated from the vehicle by
Cloverdale Fire personnel.
The driver of the Subaru
and the pickup were trans-
ported to St. Charles Medical
Center in Bend by Sisters
Camp-Sherman Fire District
ambulances. The three occu-
pants of the Toyota Camry
were checked out by Bend
Fire Ambulance personnel and
determined to be uninjured.
Cloverdale Fire Chief
Thad Olsen said, “A rapid
response by both Cloverdale
and Sisters fire districts made
a positive impact on the out-
come. Units were on scene
within five minutes and fire
personnel worked the scene
for an hour.”
Chief Olsen reminded
drivers to turn on their head-
lights during inclement
weather, and noted that “win-
ter weather conditions require
drivers to be diligent of the
conditions and other drivers.”
The crash is under inves-
tigation by the Deschutes
County Sheriff’s Office and
Oregon State Police.
The Outlaws were
defeated 70-48 in their road
game against South Albany
(SA) on Thursday, December
21. Sisters has had a very
tough pre-season, facing sev-
eral 5A schools in hopes the
high caliber of competition
will prepare them for league
play.
South Albany’s offense
was in high gear from the
get-go, while the Outlaws
started off slow. The Rebels
hit seven shots from behind
the arc in the first half, and
had a total of 11 for the game.
Two of their players scored
41 of their total points.
The Outlaws trailed the
Rebels 48-25 at the half, but
battled back and played a
much better second-half, out-
scoring SA 23-22.
Coach David Godfrey
said, “It was good to see that
we kept battling, and that we
played much better defense
the second half. We’d like to
think that we are getting bet-
ter by playing the 5A teams
we have on our schedule.”
Ty Horner led the Outlaws
with 20 points, Isaiah Rush
and Zach Anderson each
contributed nine points, and
Taylor Scholl had four.
The Outlaws were happy
to have Scholl back on the
court for his first game this
season. Taylor has been
unable to play due to a
knee injury. Sisters missed
two of their starters; Jack
Berg, who was out with a
sprained ankle, and Noah
Richards who was out due to
a concussion.
It was good to
see that we kept
battling, and that we
played much better
defense the second half.
— Coach David Godfrey
Sisters will resume play in
their annual Sisters Holiday
Tournament, which will
be held Thursday through
Saturday, December 28
through 30.
Woman sentenced for fatal wreck
PENDLETON (AP) — An
Oregon woman was sentenced
to nearly 2 years in prison for
the wreck that killed three
motorcycle riders in May.
The East Oregonian
reports 50-year-old Lisa
Niehaus pleaded guilty last
month to multiple assault
charges and three counts of
criminally negligent homicide.
Authorities say Niehaus
was driving on state Highway
19 near Fossil in Central
Oregon when she crossed
into the oncoming lane traffic,
striking a group of motorcycle
riders.
Authorities say the colli-
sion killed two riders and a
third died a week later. Six
more people were injured.
About 45 members of the
Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle
Club were on the road head-
ing to a local rally.
Neihaus says she was
blinded by the motorcycle
headlights. Prosecutors say
there were other distractions.
