entered the business. Once
inside, the suspects stole over
$13,000 in Stihl chainsaws
and a Stihl concrete saw.
The suspects were driv-
ing a newer, white, four-door
Honda Civic, with unknown
license plates. The driver is
described as being an adult
Latino male, approximately
25-35 years old, with dark
hair, a beard, and having a
stocky build. The passen-
ger is described as an adult
Latino male, approximately
20-30 years old, with a
medium build. Both suspects
were wearing masks at the
time of the burglary.
Deputies have contacted
several businesses in the area
to obtain additional evidence
and video surveillance from
the time of the burglary.

<If these criminals are
local, I9m sure someone will
recognize them or their vehi-
cle,= he said.
The loss of equipment
is a blow to the business.
Thompson noted that high
demand and pandemic-
related issues with manufac-
turing have made obtaining
equipment challenging.
<We probably have 100-
150 chainsaws on backorder
and have since last August
or September,= he told The
Nugget. <We9re going to
have a hard time building
back that inventory.=
Sisters Rental opened an
expansive new facility in the
spring of 2020. At the time,
Thompson was pleased at
the high level of visibility
that the new shop offers.
Now he9s dismayed to dis-
cover that the high visibil-
ity has apparently made the
business a target for profes-
sional thieves.
<Now what (have) I got
to do?= he said. <Put up a
10-foot fence and barbed
wire just to be safe? What
are we coming to?=
23 pairs. Kennedy placed
second among 31 competi-
tors in the pole event, and
also teamed up with Sidney
Sillers to place third in the
sorting event.
Winter came away from
the contest feeling quite sat-
isfied with her team9s efforts
and grateful for the help pro-
vided by parents.
<Our team has been prac-
ticing since early December
and I am so proud of what
they achieved,= she said.
<The parents are super sup-
portive and stepped up to
help make this meet hap-
pen safely during the
pandemic.=
Winter is assisted by Lori
Kennedy and Dave Jones.
The team returns to action
on April 15 for another three
days of competition at the
fairgrounds.

“There’s no place

“So far in my lifetime I’ve been i involved

with 19 real estate transactions, and
have worked with many agents. I am very
tough to please, and from a real estate
agent require loyalty, market knowledge,
excellent communication, and attention
to detail. Of all the agents I’ve worked
with, Khiva has done the best job, and I
can honestly say that I couldn’t have been
happier with the two transactions she just
helped our family with. If I was to have
a future need, or have an opportunity to
refer Khiva, I wouldn’t hesitate.”
