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.

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.
