Rush and Eckert honored for hard work
<Ellie has been a vital part of our
team9s success this season,= said
Outlaws volleyball Coach Rory Rush.
<Her high IQ on the court and com-
petitive spirit make her a fierce com-
petitor. Ellie has the job every game
of making sure our offense is work-
ing, hitters are connecting with the
ball and reading other teams9 defenses
so hitters can be successful. As a set-
ter, you are rarely the one recognized
on the floor, but the one involved in
every play on the floor.=
Ellie has established herself as
one of the top setters in the Oregon
West League, with her quick deci-
sions and ability to
get the ball to her hit-
ters. Ellie already has
440 assists this season.
gh
Her serving is tough
and has provided the
rv-
team with many serv-
u-
ing runs in tight situ-
he
ations. She leads the
team in aces with 43
so far this season.
Ellie also stands out
as an exceptional
student at Sisters
HS, maintaining
a 4.10 GPA. She
was part of Link
Cre
Crew this fall,
part
participates in the e health occupa-
tions class and supports her fellow
Ou
Outlaws in other sporting events
and activities.
<We are very proud of Ellie
an
and all her hard work she puts in
on and of
off the court,= said Coach
Rush. <Congratulations, Ellie on
being Athlete of the Month!=

Husmann said. <Athletically, he is a
very solid soccer player as the hold-
ing midfielder all year for us. He has
great field vision and allows others to
be the best players they can be. He is
our assist leader. He is a mentor to the
younger players on and off the field.=
Academically, Eckert sets very
high expectations for himself and
does a fine job of balancing the stu-
dent/athlete life.
<He is approachable by his team-
mates and able to effectively commu-
nicate his ideas with his coaches and
peers,= Husmann said.

Fire district
seeks input
on services
The Sisters-Camp Sherman
Rural Fire Protection District
is preparing to update its stra-
tegic plan and is seeking input
from residents of the District
regarding its services.
Strategic planning is a
management tool that pro-
vides direction for an orga-
nization and helps build a
shared vision with the com-
munity and employees. The
plan will identify organiza-
tional priorities and establish
goals and objectives to pri-
oritize resources, allowing the
District to focus its efforts on
the most critical issues.
The District has operated
within the framework of a
customer-centered strategic
plan since 2004, with the last
update in 2016. Over 85 per-
cent of the identified goals
in the current plan have been
completed. Various groups
of personnel within the fire
department will gather on
November 13 to complete
the update process, which
will be facilitated by George
Dunkel from Special Districts
Association of Oregon.
Surveys have been sent to all
members within the organiza-
tion, partnering agencies, and
community residents.
Fire Chief Roger Johnson
said, <Strategic planning for
our organization is critical,
and seeking input from the
community and our partnering
agencies is an important part
of the process.=
The survey will be avail-
able until November 8 at
www.sistersfire.com/2019/10/
fire-district-seeks-input-on-
its-services/.
To request a printed sur-
vey, contact the administrative
office at 541-549-0771.
