Two Sisters riders headed to state Two Sisters High School athletes have qualified for the state OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team) meet. Rebecca Rubbert, a Sisters High School senior, qualified for state in two equestrian performance events: Western Trail and In Hand Trail. Rubbert has com- peted in OHSET since she was a freshman. These events are highly technical and require preci- sion. The athletes earned their state berth in district compe- tition on April 15. Hailee Kennedy, SHS freshman, qualified for state in Pole Bending. Pole Bending is a timed event that features a horse and one mounted rider, running a weaving or serpentine path around six poles arranged in a line. The object is to run the pat- tern correctly as quickly as possible, without knocking down any of the poles. “Rebecca and Hailee’s hard work and preparation has [sic] paid off. They are both deserving of state quali- fication,” said Coach Kerry Newell. The Sisters OHSET team is part of the Central District and competed against 15 teams at three meets this year. The state meet will be held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds May 10-13. Sisters will mark World Tai Chi and Qigong Day on Saturday, April 28, with a gathering of practitioners at Creekside Park. This annual event begins at 10 a.m. Sisters time. It begins in the Far East in Samoa and then continues for 24 hours throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America. There are celebrations in more than 80 nations around the world. The purpose of the free event is to educate people about tai chi (tai ji) and qigong and the health ben- efits they provide. The use of these ancient Chinese modalities is con- sidered to promote increased focus and concentration, healing balance (physi- cal and energetic), and spiritual and community connection. Qi, or chi (“chee”), is vital life force or energy and is shared with all life. There will be three Carpet & Upholstery Winter is past...fl owers are coming.

Dog attack victim: Right canines in custody BEND (AP) — A woman mauled by two dogs in rural Deschutes County says the correct canines are imprisoned. Joy Stanovich-Brown and a neighbor inspected a lineup Wednesday at the Humane Society of Central Oregon. The visit was necessary because the owner of the sus- pect dogs insists one of them was misidentified. The Bulletin reports that Stanovich-Brown and the neighbor who rescued her are certain that a female boxer named Brandy is one of the attackers. The dogs fractured Stanovich-Brown’s right ankle, damaged the nerves in her right hand and left lacera- tions up and down her legs. A county board will decide next week whether Brandy and a male boxer named Marshall should be killed. Spring is time for renewal Commit to your transformation today!
