Lady Outlaws fall in tight contest By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws played a very close game at Newport in the league opener, but lost the battle in a final score of 1-0. Two days later smoke was an issue, and the game was called at the half. In Tuesday’s match-up, the game was close from the get-go, and went back and forth from start to finish. Newport scored on a deep throw-in and finished with a nice flick into the goal for the finish at the 20-minute mark. The Outlaws outplayed the Cubs for the first 15 min- utes of the game, and had several opportunities to score, but just couldn’t finish. At home on Thursday against Cascade, smoke was a problem. Despite concerns, teams started to play. At the half, the game was called due to the smoke, with the Cougars on top 2-0. Coach Jaron Jacobsen said, “We’re not sure if the game will count or not, but we played well. The smoke was an issue, and possibly even questionable that the game was played.” The Outlaws were to travel to Woodburn on Tuesday, S e p t e m b e r 11 . S i s t e r s will play at home against Philomath on Thursday. Sisters resident Eileen Wherle is the winner of the Furry Friends Foundation (FFF) fundraiser quilt. The one-of-a-kind quilt, “Bark for Our Parks,” was designed and quilted by Valerie Fercho-Tillery who was on hand on Labor Day to draw the winning ticket. It only takes one ticket to win, but as an avid supporter of FFF Wherle purchased a few more for good measure. The quilt was Fercho- Tillery’s latest in a series of quilts made to support FFF — and it celebrates something besides happy dogs. This year’s quilt honors America’s national parks. “They’re kind of under siege at the moment,” she told The Nugget. . “I wanted to show that our national parks are something our tax dollars pay for and something we should treasure and hold dear.” The quilt features dogs frol- icking in the Grand Canyon; Arches National Park; the E v e r g l a d e s ; Yo s e m i t e ; and among redwoods. This is the sixth year that FFF has offered a fundraiser quilt — and the fifth quilt Fercho-Tillery has made. FFF is a local nonprofit that aids Sisters-area families by operating two pet-food banks and providing no-cost spay/neuter and vaccination sponsorships to families in financial hardship.
