Beginning this week
and continuing into early
November the Deschutes,
F r e m o n t - Wi n e m a , a n d
Willamette National Forests
will provide an authorizing
letter at no cost to allow for
matsutake collection, trans-
port, and sale instead of a
paid permit. This interim
change to the matsutake per-
mitting process is a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic and
an effort to maximize social
distancing measures to the
extent possible.
The Forest Service offices
listed below will offer an
authorizing letter for mat-
sutake mushroom harvest
rather than a permit. Packets
with the authorizing let-
ter and the requirements
for harvesting the popular
mushroom will be placed
in the front of the offices.
The public is asked to main-
tain social distancing while
picking up packets. The
authorizing letter covers the
entire matsutake mushroom
season, which goes from
September 7 to November
7. The authorizing letter will
allow harvesters to gather
matsutake mushrooms on
the Deschutes, Fremont-
Winema, Umpqua, and
Willamette national forests.
Matsutake harvesters will
be required to have the fol-
lowing in their possession
while harvesting, transport-
ing, and selling matsutake
mushrooms:
1. A completed and
signed hard-copy version of
this Matsutake Collection
Authorization Letter.
2. A digital or hard
copy version of the 2021
Matsutake Collection
Synopsis, included in the
packet of information.
3. A digital or hard-copy
version of the appropriate
harvesting area map (i.e.,
the map covering the area
where the matsutakes are
harvested).
The authorizing letter,
materials, and maps for the
Deschutes National Forest
will be available at www.
fs.usda.gov/main/deschutes/
home or at Bend-Fort Rock
Ranger District, 63095
Deschutes Market Road,
Bend, 541-383-5300.
Harvesters need to be
aware that dispersed camp-
ing is not allowed on the
Deschutes National Forest
for the purpose of commer-
cial harvest of the mush-
rooms. Campfires are not
allowed anywhere on the
Deschutes National Forest.
Sisters started the game a
bit sluggish and struggled to
find their rhythm.
<I feel like we underesti-
mated the Wolfpack and did
not take control of the game
early like we are capable
of doing,= said Coach Jeff
Husmann.
Caldera loaded their
defense with five play-
ers, which made it tough
for Outlaw striker Ricky
Huffman to find space.
However, Huffman was able
to score Sisters9 first goal in
the 18th minute of play. The
Wolfpack responded with a
goal to make it 1-1 at the half.
Sisters midfielders, juniors
Tate Kaczmarek and Aidan
Eckert, and sophomore
Vincent Christian played a
great second half and pro-
vided the boost the Outlaws
needed.
Husmann told The Nugget
the Outlaws have been work-
ing hard at developing scor-
ing opportunities as a cohe-
sive unit rather than solo
efforts, and that began to play
off in the second half.
Huffman scored his
made big contributions.
Sophomore Will Fogarty
came into the game as a mid-
field wing player and made
an immediate impact. The
scrappy player had a nose
for the goal and scored in the
75th minute to make it a 4-1
contest.
Another highlight came
from the Christian brothers,
who connected on a goal in
the final minutes. Vincent
made a perfect pass from
his holding midfield position
to older brother Gavin, who
placed it in the goal.
Caldera also scored a goal
in the second half, but the
Outlaws prevailed by three in
a final score of 5-2.
Husmann noted that the
defense played much better in
the second half, and limited
Caldera9s scoring options.
Seniors AJ Scholl, Noah
Pittman, and Sean Alvarez all
have taken a strong leader-
ship role in commanding the
Outlaws defense.
Junior Gus Patton has also
developed as a reliable defen-
seman for the Outlaws, and
has earned a starting position.

The Outlaws recorded a satisfying 5-2 victory over the Caldera Wolfpack
in a non-conference match last week.
Sisters is still a little inex-
perienced in goal. The job
of keeper was split between
sophomore Austin Dean and
junior Taine Martin.
<Austin and Taine are
fierce competitors and yet
truly support each other in
learning the position,= said
Husmann.
<Early in the season it
is always interesting to see
how the identity of the team
evolves and who steps up
as leaders on the field,= said
Husmann. <We have a strong
group of players this year
who have been working hard
in the preseason. There is a
palpable energy to this team.=
The Outlaws were
scheduled to play at home
against Madras on Tuesday,
September 7. They will travel
to La Pine on Thursday, two
days later.
