8 Wednesday, October 9, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws fall to Newport on gridiron By Rongi Yost Correspondent PHOTO BY EMILY GREEN Audrey Tehan leads students in a program at Seed to Table Farm. SEED TO TABLE: Program has greatly expanded its offerings Continued from page 6 summer Seed to Table revamped its education les- sons, working alongside teachers and administrators to integrate lessons more closely with classroom les- sons and grade progressions. We are excited that our educa- tion team is playing an even larger role in helping teachers fulfill life science standards. Tucked into all of the science are countless experiences with fresh veggies and nutrition. <Students learning comes alive with hands in the dirt, mouths full of freshly har- vested food and eyes opened to science investigations all around when we experi- ence field trips at Seed to Table,= said Julie Holden, a third-grade teacher at Sisters Elementary School. In the past year, some exciting changes and growth have occurred within our orga- nization allowing us to expand the number of community members we serve. In addi- tion to entering a cooperative relationship with members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs ato help Warm Springs develop its own ver- sion of Seed to Table, Seed to Table has enrolled 20 new teachers, from Sisters and beyond, in our farm-based nutrition and science field trip series. We have expanded production to keep up with the increased demand for our fresh produce from area food banks. While we were excited, and a bit overwhelmed, to see so much need throughout Central Oregon, it became obvious that we needed more full-time help. With our small staff of two employees, two interns and a few very part- time educators we were sim- ply at capacity of what we could offer. The vision of hiring an edu- cation coordinator has evolved over the past few years. During 2018 Seed to Table was grate- ful to receive one year of community funding to hire an education coordinator. Our search led us to an outstand- ing individual, Aude Girin, to take on the role of education coordinator. I am thrilled Aude has stepped in as our full-time education coordinator start- ing this past June. Aude is an exceptional teacher, driven to serve and connect with those around her. She embodies our mission and all it means to be growing minds alongside growing plants. Her patience and passion come together to create meaningful learning for all ages. Aude said, <I am proud to work for Seed to Table. The organization9s commitment to engage and empower the com- munity by focusing on healthy food initiatives is powerful... I am most amazed by the open- ness of the parents, teachers, volunteers and students when it comes to trying new ideas. It makes it an extremely fun and energetic place to carry out my passions.= Sisters Dental is uniting with our neighbor Everson Family Dentistry!

The Outlaws made too many mistakes to pull out a victory at Newport against the Cubs on Friday, October 4, and lost the contest 14-6. It was a hard-fought defensive battle that was scoreless well into the second quarter. Just as the Outlaws seemed to gain some offen- sive footing, Newport forced a fumble near the midfield and returned it for a score, followed by the PAT. Newport drove the ball deep into Sisters9 territory when a host of Outlaws blocked a field-goal attempt, and Taylor Fendall returned it 80 yards to the Cubs six- yard line with nine seconds left and no timeouts. Sisters threw twice, hoping to capi- talize on a mismatch. It didn9t happen, and the Outlaws were held scoreless as teams heading into the half with the Cubs on top 7-0. Sisters drove down the field to open the second half, but stalled at Newport9s 16-yard line. The Cubs took possession, but once again the Outlaws9 defense held and Sisters got the ball at midfield. Ethan Martin did most of the damage on the drive, capping it off with a three-yard TD run with 1:08 left in the third quarter. The PAT failed and at the close of the quarter Sisters trailed the Cubs by one, 7-6. The Outlaws held the momentum as teams entered the final period and stifled the Cubs9 offense. Sisters looked ready to drive and take the lead, but the first snap resulted in a fumble, which was recovered by the Cubs at Sisters9 30-yard line with 8:38 left on the clock. Sisters9 defense brought up a fourth-and-20 from the 25-yard line, but a lone receiver found his way behind three Outlaws9 defenders for a TD to make the score 14-6 after the Cubs converted on their extra point attempt. With 5:26 left in the game, the Outlaws had one more chance, but they were not able to gain traction, and turned the ball over on downs. The Cubs took a knee three times to run down the clock and record the win. Ethan Martin, who ran like a beast, especially in the second half, said, <After that fumble in the first half, I was like, I9d better kick some ... and run harder in the second half and really push it, and I did.= Martin finished the night with 64 yards rushing and one touchdown. Liam Allesio tallied eight tackles (five solo) and one pass deflec- tion, Joe Scholl recorded six tackles (one solo). Anthony Randolph was in the back- field the entire night and posted five tackles (three solo) and one tackle for loss. The Outlaws will match up at home against the Cascade Cougars on Friday, October 11. NuggetNews.com 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SE One owner, r, 33 MPG, only 30K miles.. Like new.
