Sisters earns gold in team penning The Sisters Outlaws team of Savy Salisbury, Sidney Sillers and Bailey Knirk are state champions in Team Penning. The team beat out 30 other competitors from around the state in Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET) the state championship held at the Deschutes County Fair Grounds & Expo Center last week. Team Penning is an eques- trian sport derived from ranch work, where cattle have to be separated out for transport or for doctoring. Three rid- ers work against a clock to separate specifically identi- fied cattle, guiding them into a pen. Communication and teamwork are paramount to success. Over three go-rounds, the Outlaws team separated out eight cows in a total time of 141.71, nearly a min- ute faster than their nearest competitor. The top placing was the result of a full season of hard work developing the team9s coordination. <They really stood out as knowing what they were doing,= spectator Julie Knirk told The Nugget. — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — Lawsuit dismissed for Bend- based marijuana company By Suzanne Roig The Bulletin BEND (AP) 4 A legal dispute between a Bend- based marijuana company and its former partner has been dismissed permanently by the Deschutes County Circuit Court. Oregrown Industries Inc. and Justin Crawn, the former head grower, have agreed to dismiss the lawsuit, including all claims and counterclaims, without costs, disbursements or attorney fees, according to court records filed March 27. Aviv Hadar, Oregrown CEO and co-founder, said the parties have reached mutually agreeable terms, The Bulletin reported . <Our board members, shareholders, founders, and employees all want to take this opportunity to thank (Crawn) for the work he has done to help us throughout the years,= Hadar said in an email. <As an organization, we wish nothing but the best for (Crawn) and personally, there is still a tremendous amount of love between the two of us.= Requests for additional information were not returned by Crawn or Hadar or their lawyers. In the initial lawsuit filed in August against Crawn, Oregrown sought $2.7 mil- lion in damages, as well as an order stating that Crawn is no longer a shareholder and an order for Crawn to return con- trol of social media accounts to Oregrown. In November, Crawn filed counterclaims, sought $9 million in damages and claimed that Oregrown deprived him of $600,000 in proportional ownership interest. Even though Crawn, who is identified in the ini- tial lawsuit as a medical and black-market grower, did not contribute any cash to the company9s formation, he was made a shareholder in Oregrown and Downtown Bend Flagship Inc., the entity that holds the state license for recreational retail sales. Hadar said in the email that the dispute arose toward the end of the business rela- tionship and resulted in law- suits and are the result of misunderstandings.
