Outlaws cheer team
ends strong season
MUSEUM: Volunteers
will staff Sisters
museum
Continued from page 1
Volunteers from Three
Sisters Historical Society
will staff the museum, and
when historic walking tours
of Sisters resume this sum-
mer, they will start at the new
museum. Most recently, the
Historical Society has been
renting an office at Sisters
Art Works, and created a
pop-up museum with dis-
plays of Sisters history in the
entry gallery there.
An opening date has
not yet been determined.
Final arrangements are
being made with the City of
Sisters, and modifications
including a handicap-acces-
sible restroom are in the
works.
<It will be a soft opening,=
Leitheiser said.
The mission of the Three
Sisters Historical Society is
to deepen the understanding
of past choices, present cir-
cumstances, and future pos-
sibilities by preserving, shar-
ing and bringing to life the
history of the Three Sisters
area, and thus strengthening
the bonds of the community.
In its short, three-year
history, the organization has
grown to encompass 250
members, 50 volunteers, and
450 Facebook friends. This
year there are four Fireside
Evenings (previously three
per year), and they are
assuming responsibility for
the annual Book Sale on
Quilt Show Saturday. (See

Last year the histori-
cal society took first place
for their float in the Sisters
Rodeo Parade; had exhib-
its of historical quilts in the
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show
and Quilts in the Garden;
conducted three historical
walking tours; participated
in the Farmers Market; and
held a local history shar-
ing day. They contracted for
videography services; and
purchased museum software
which will enable the orga-
nization to accurately cata-
log photographs and donated
artifacts and books in the ref-
erence library.
As part of his discussion,
guest speaker Ramsey com-
pared local historians and
academic historians, saying
that there is a need for both.
<All history is local,= he
said. <I like to look at history
through a zoom lens.=
Academic historians look
at the wide-angle view, while
local historians zoom in to a
particular place and time. A
good example of local his-
tory is the building of rail-
roads in Central Oregon, and
academic history shows how
the railroads brought about
westward expansion.
Pursuing local history
can be a fun, social endeavor
that9s relatively inexpensive,
except for your time, Ramsey
said. A local museum can be
planned and carved out as
a place where things hap-
pen, and all people, includ-
ing women and children, are
represented, and where natu-
ral history can be displayed
alongside human history.
The latest trend, he said, is
the History Pub, an evening
celebrating local history in a
convivial setting.
The next Fireside Evening
will be Sunday, April 26 at
FivePine Conference Center.
Doors will open at 6 p.m.,
and the program will start at
7, featuring author William
Sullivan9s talk on <Hiking
Oregon9s History.=
Sisters Cheer earned
fourth place at the State
cheerleading competition
on Saturday, February 15th
and placed third the follow-
ing weekend at the OCCA
championships. The Outlaws
cheer team went up against
the best teams in the state at
Veterans Memorial Coliseum
for the State Cheerleading
Competition.
The cheerleaders per-
formed their best routine yet,
with no deductions from their
score for technical violations.
This weekend, the
cheer team participated in
crowdleading, a sub-category
of cheerleading in which the
team does a cheer, stunt and
tumbling sequence with no
dance involved. This is the
first time that the Outlaw
cheerleaders participated in
crowdleading as a competitive
event, and they did very well.
The Outlaw Cheer team
is looking forward to their
upcoming season in the 2020-
21 school year and for many
newcomers to the team.
