Coach Chladek com- mented on his team9s performance. <Bela and Presley9s runs were fast because they both kept very clean technical lines through the course,= said Chladek. <All the top racers from the Outlaws team finished as well as they did due to being aggressive and fast from start to finish. <Overall this big team of Sisters Outlaw athletes is ski- ing really well this season,= added Chladek. <The return- ing racers are in growth over their previous season and the new racers on the team are really exceeding my expecta- tions for skiing performance. Most importantly, the team seems to be bonding and really having a lot of fun with each other at trainings and competitions. Also, racing conditions this season have been sunny and clear so far, making for really enjoyable competitions.= The skiers9 next race will be a giant slalom at Willamette Pass on Saturday, January 22.

That9s a big burden on working fami- lies, and Heart of Oregon hopes to add to the available pool of qualified providers. The YouthBuild program has proven a successful model, providing practical education and credit recovery to many students for whom the standard education model just doesn9t fit. YouthBuild has worked on Habitat for Humanity homes in Sisters. Some of the youth move on from the program to careers in the trades. Sisters Schools Superintendent Curt Scholl was on hand for the open house. <We have several Sisters youth in here,= Scholl said. <We9ve been partners with YouthBuild since I9ve been here, actually.= Sisters schools adminis- ter the school credits earned by local students who work through the program. The ability to recover credits through the program is critical. <Their credit recovery program is amazing,= Lopez said. <I was able to make up so many credits 4 for which I am so grateful.= The Sisters senior said that she had originally planned to make up enough credits to get her GED, but now she9s almost certain she will be able to get her high school diploma.

She9s been in YouthBuild since October 2021. <When I was back in high school, I was really behind in my credits,= she said. A teacher told her about YouthBuild. <What really caught my attention was the hands on,= she said. Hearing (about) youth building homes 4 honestly, that was mind- blowing to me.= That9s the difference that YouthBuild makes for students who aren9t best suited to a classroom environment. <I learned things that school couldn9t teach me,= Sisters student Mark Holden told the assemblage at the open house.
