BBR police Swim team working toward strong season
seek
artists help
with patch
By Charlie Kanzig
Correspondent
The Black Butte Ranch
Police Department is look-
ing to update their current
uniform patch, and they are
seeking public involvement
in the project.
BBR Police Department
is looking for a design that
incorporates any of the fol-
lowing: Black Butte Ranch
and the surrounding area;
design that is significant to
the area; historical informa-
tion and other ideas that are
associated with Black Butte
Ranch.
“Our objective is to find
a design that better reflects
Black Butte Ranch,” said Sgt.
Robert Schulz.
He noted, for instance, that
Bend police’s uniform patch
features the Three Sisters.
The current BBR Police
Department patch lacks that
sense of place.
“None of that reflects
our area — Central Oregon,
Sisters, Black Butte,” Schulz
said. Our area.”
Artwork will be reviewed
and judged by the Black
Butte Ranch Police Service
District Board and officers
with the department. The art-
ist/designer whose artwork is
picked will be presented with
a plaque highlighting the new
patch, a basket of Black Butte
Ranch swag and bragging
rights.
Sgt. Schulz said that the
department plans to approach
Sisters High School art stu-
dents for submissions.
Artwork needs to be able
to fit in a patch size of approx-
imately 3 inches high by 5
inches wide. Artwork can be
dropped by the police depart-
ment at 13885 Bishops Cap
or e-mailed to info@black-
buttepolice.org. Deadline for
artwork is January 31, 2019.
For more information,

lice.org or call 541-595-2191.
After picking up a fourth-
place trophy at state last year,
the girls swim team returns
with three of its four scorers,
giving reason to believe the
squad will make some noise
again this year, while the
boys team will look to build
on improvements from last
season.
Bryn Singleton is in her
fifth year with the program
and her second as head
coach. She is assisted once
again by Rosie Horton. After
a record number of swimmers
last year, the team is down to
a bit more manageable num-
ber with a turnout of about 25
swimmers.
Seniors Brooke Robillard
and Meredith Mandal, along
with junior Lydia Bartlett, all
scored in multiple events at
state last season, giving the
team real firepower.
“Of course, losing Hawley
Harrer’s athleticism and per-
sonality will definitely be
missed, these three girls will
continue to work hard,” said
Singleton.
Harrer is now a freshman
at UCLA, playing for the
Bruins’ volleyball team.
Singleton inherited a pair
of freshman girls with swim-
ming experience in Cambrie
Leaver and Ella Hayden,
which could help offset the
loss of Harrer.
Sam Mayes returns for
the boys team, along with
Osmond Bates, Connor
Crowe, and Aaron Johnson.
Gavin Todd, a junior transfer
from Summit, appears ready
to contribute at the varsity
level as well.
The Outlaws face a peren-
nially tough district, and the
addition of Marist Catholic
makes it even more competi-
tive, according to Singleton.
People often ask where
the Outlaws practice given
that Sisters has no commu-
nity pool. Black Butte Ranch
and Sisters Athletic Club
have generously stepped in
over the years to make room
for the team, which Singleton
appreciates on a daily basis.
“We would not be able to
have a team if it were not for

their ongoing support,” she
said.
The team primarily uses
the Glaze Meadow pool
at Black Butte Ranch, but
Sisters Athletic Club allows
the team to swim when things
get busy at Black Butte.
Singleton sees beyond
the wins and losses when it
comes to coaching.
“As a coach, my main
goals are that every indi-
vidual improves and, most
importantly, enjoys the expe-
rience of being on a team,”
she said. “Some team mem-
bers have goals to swim at
state and even beyond high
school, while others are
looking to learn a new sport
and improve as they go.
Regardless, every member
adds an important element to
the team. Everyone shows up
with a good attitude, open to
learning, and that will make
their season a success, regard-
less of times or places.”
The team opens competi-
tion on Friday, December 7 at
Newport, followed by a sec-
ond meet the next day against
all the teams in the district at
the Kroc Center in Salem.
“This first overnight
will also be a good chance
to spend time together as a
team,” said Singleton. “We’ll
keep working hard to be as
ready as we can to have two
meets back to back.”
