Wednesday, December 19, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon DESSERTS: British emigrants spread them far and wide Wrestlers compete at Stayton Invitational By Rongi Yost Correspondent Sisters wrestlers competed at the Stayton 8-way Dual Invitational held at Stayton High School on Saturday, December 15. The tourna- ment was a crab-pool com- petition with four teams in one pool, and four teams in another. The Outlaws’ pool included Ridgeview, Jefferson, and South Salem High School. Stayton, Reynolds, St. Helens, and Willamina were in the other pool. The Outlaws were able to get three dual matches from their pool, and then picked up an extra match against Reynolds at the end of the day. Sisters had to give up seven weight classes, but still held their own against their opponents, and won their dual against Jefferson. Dalton Ford was back in the Outlaws line-up at 126 pounds, after being out last week due to a chest injury. Dalton did a great job, and won three of his matches, two with a pin and one due to forfeit. Coach John Downs explained that when a team receives a forfeit, it’s worth six team points, the same as if they pin an opponent. Rylan Carter, 132 pounds, injured his wrist, and the Outlaws were lucky that JV wrestler Michael Zoormajian was able to fill in at the var- sity spot. Michael did very well competing at the higher level as a freshman, and earned points for the team with a win. Junior Anthony Randolph pinned all four of his oppo- nents, and had a tremendous day going undefeated in the tourney. Austin Pade won three of his four matches. Downs told The Nugget that Pade “still hesitates to shoot, but his ground work has greatly improved.” Junior Ethan Martin also Continued from page 13 had a good showing, and won three of his four matches. His loss was to Jackson from Ridgeview, who took second at the Culver Invitational last weekend at 182 pounds. “Ethan took second at 195 pounds at the Culver Tournament, so we were very excited to see these two go head-to-head,” said Downs. The JV wrestlers also did well at the tourney. Chaz Patterson won two of his three matches, and Daisy Patterson went one and one. “Overall, I feel the team is really starting to progress positively in all aspects,” said Downs. “We have been really working on shots, escapes, and speed.” The Outlaws will compete at Molalla High School on Saturday, December 22. the individual ingredients it could have been as early as the 1600s. Parisian bakers popular- ized the cake in the 19th cen- tury, and different bakeries became known for their more elaborate decorations. Fruitcake! Every year at Christmas it shows up. People bring fruit- cake as gifts, they make jokes about it, and sometimes they even eat it! Love it or hate it, fruitcake never goes away. What’s the story behind this sturdy seasonal dessert? It’s not just a cake with some fruit inside. The fruit and nuts for fruitcake must be dried or soaked in sugar. All of that is loaded up into a very heavy cake. Because of the sugar, fruitcake doesn’t go bad for a long time. There are Our Promise to Our Community... even fruitcakes that are still OK to eat after being kept for 25 years. One family has held onto a fruitcake for over 130 years! It’s a family heirloom so no one is looking to eat it. The history of fruitcake goes way back, all the way to ancient Rome. A recipe from 2,000 years ago had pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and raisins mixed into a cake made from barley mash. Later in the Middle Ages, fruit- cakes with honey, preserved fruit and spices were popu- lar. From the 19th century on fruitcake became a traditional wedding cake in England. Fruitcake gets around! There are many different ver- sions all over the world. In Germany fruitcake is called stollen and has powdered sugar on top. Italy has pan- forte or panettone. Poland and Bulgaria call it keks. December 27 is National Fruitcake Day, but then a little more than a week later it’s Fruitcake Toss Day on January 7. One town in 21 Fruitcake has a long history. Colorado takes getting rid of their unwanted fruitcake very seriously. Every year, Manitou Springs has a contest to see who can throw their fruitcakes the farthest and with the greatest accuracy. People build catapults, sling- shots, or just hurl the cakes by hand. To make up for all the lost food, everyone com- peting has to bring a donation to the local food bank — any- thing except fruitcake!
