one to donate a parcel to the city or to start a

To the Editor:
Typically, July is a slower time of the year
for a school district. At our last board meeting,
Jeff Smith was nominated and approved to
continue to be the Sisters School Board Chair.
Jay Wilkins was nominated and approved to
be the Board Vice-Chair. The various other
committee assignments were established and
assigned.
I want to thank our board for the time and
energy they put in to help make Sisters School
District a great organization and cornerstone
of the Sisters Community.
We had an unusually long consent
agenda, as we have been very busy hiring
staff to replace those that have retired and/
or moved on from the Sisters School District.
Although we will miss our colleagues that
have moved on, we are very excited about
the depth and the quality of the new staff
that will be joining the Outlaw Family this
fall.
Finally, we have been very busy working
on bond projects, with the largest project
this summer being the remodel of our mid-
dle school. This fall, not only will all of our
schools have deferred maintenance upgrades,
additionally, all of our schools will have
double-door entry systems, card-lock doors,
improved ADA access and cameras as
advanced safety measures.
We are also re-engaging in the conver-
sation about a new transportation center
(not located in the high school parking lot)
to continue to move toward the long-term
goal of centralizing our facilities on one
campus.

To the Editor:
Once again, Mr. Rullman has inflamed the
liberal residents of Sisters.
It is no wonder that calls have been made,
that his “Bunkhouse” does not suit the sen-
sitive tastes of progressive and government
party elements in our community.
However, progress toward harmony has
been made. The shunning of their politi-
cal opponents will give the left an aura of
theological superiority rather than the actual
hatred of the Deplorables as represented by
the Resistance.
Now hopefully the government party elites
will allow the fly-over country rubes to retain
our flintlock muskets while they pursue an
end to magazine violence.

HIKE: Wilderness
permits are required
for this adventure

miles and turn right (west)
at the Scott Lake turnoff.
There is a sign advising of
the approaching turn, but
there is an intervening turn-
off, as well; so wait until you
are abreast of the brown Scott
Lake sign before turning off.
Once off the highway, the
Scott Trail parking lot is the
next immediate right. This
road also leads to nearby
Scott Lake, which is a nice
place for a refreshing swim
after a long hike on a hot
day.
Almost the entire hike
is within the Three Sisters
Wilderness boundary, so wil-
derness permits are required
and are free at the trailhead
kiosk. Always be prop-
erly equipped for wilder-
ness travel — particularly
on a hike of this length and
difficulty — and remem-
ber that weather conditions
can change rapidly in the
mountains.
