Wednesday, January 31, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Obituary 5 Girls basketball struggles HarryKA.KOrr,KIII May 19, 1930 — January 19, 2018 ByKRongiKYost Harry Allen Orr, III passed away on January 19. He was 87 years old. Born and raised in South Carolina, he early on distin- guished himself for intel- ligence and motivation. He attended Fishburne Military Academy and graduated from Duke University NROTC in 1951. He mar- ried his life-long partner and best friend Ietje van Dobbenburgh later that year. Harry served as ensign and later lieutenant in the U.S. Navy 1951-1954 and again 1961-1962. In between naval stints, Harry worked in the insurance business. Frustrated with his career and recalling how much he enjoyed working with his hands and building Heath kits as a child, Harry enrolled in dental school at University of Tennessee, Memphis, in 1963 and grad- uated in 1966. He spent two years in the public health service before establishing a private practice in Palo Alto, California in 1968. He and Ietje worked in the practice together until their retire- ment in 1990. Harry and Ietje moved to Sisters in 1991. Harry always looked for ways to support others in the com- munity. He helped establish and lead the High Meadow Homeowners Association, participated in the Book Club and was a champion for the Sisters High School Science Club and Flight Science Program. Harry and Ietje were world travelers, visiting approximately 30 countries and all 50 states, many of them several times. They explored the backroads and byroads, always remarking Correspondent how much they enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. They traveled Oregon extensively from the coast to the east- ern desert. Harry greatly enjoyed the outdoors, hik- ing and snowshoeing many Central Oregon trails with friends. He was particularly fond of Black Butte and hiked it many times. Harry was an avid reader, a passion he learned from his mother. His love of learning carried over into classical music, opera, cooking and a life-long passion for flying. With his kindness and generosity of spirit he made good friends wher- ever he went. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Harry is survived by Ietje; daughters, Chapin Orr Zakrzewski and Missy Orr (and husband Dave Bullamore); and grandchil- dren, Alyssa Kuwik (and husband Jordan Kuwik) and Garrett Zakrzewski. A memorial service will be planned in Sisters in the summer. The fam- ily would like to thank St. Charles Hospice in Bend for its exceptional care and heartfelt attention to Harry in his final months. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either the Sisters High School Science Club or St. Charles Hospice. At Home & Happy - Your pets deserve the best!

Gina’s Petsitting 541-977-2276 The Lady Outlaws con- tinued to struggle to keep up with league foes this past week, and lost both their games — a 55-23 loss to the Falcons at Elmira on Tuesday, January 23, and a 52-24 road loss to Sutherlin on Friday. Sisters created good oppor- tunities to score in Tuesday’s contest against Elmira, but just couldn’t get their shots to fall. At the half the Outlaws were down 31-15. The Outlaws only put one point on the scoreboard in the third period, compared to the Falcons, who scored 15. Elmira stayed strong through- out the remainder of the game and recorded the win. Coach Alan Von Stein told The Nugget that Meaghan Greaney had her best game of the season, and played great on both offense and defense. Greaney scored six points, dished out two assists, and had two steals and two deflections. Olivia Hougham and Sydney Head recorded two assists each. “We got good looks at the basket, executed our offense well, but the ball just wouldn’t go in,” said Von Stein. “We had quality looks, but only shot 22 percent from the field.” Three days later, it was a similar situation. The Bulldogs were tenacious at the start of the first quarter, and the Outlaws quickly found themselves down 9-0.

Sisters came out and won the second quar- ter, 11-9, but trailed 26-17 at the half. Sisters was outscored 18-4 in the third. Sutherlin kept control of the contest, and went on to win by 28. Gracen Sundstrom scored nine points for Sisters, and Rheanna Salisbury, Lexie Stewart, and Head contributed four points each. The Outlaws did much better on the boards, and grabbed 36 on the night, compared to Sutherlin, who had 26. Sundstrom recorded seven rebounds, and Head, Salisbury, and Rylee Weber each had six. Von Stein noted sopho- more Hallie Schwartz for her great defensive effort, and stated she did an excellent job against Sutherlin’s perimeter shooter. The Lady Outlaws are cur- rently 1-4 in league. Sisters will face Cottage Grove at home on Friday, February 2, to start out the second half of league play.
