18 Wednesday, February 2, 2022 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon The Nugget Newspaper Crossword LETTERS Continued from page 8 By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service ovation the spectators gave as Sheriff Nelson was introduced. He was treated with great dignity and respect. One of the questions that surprised me was the increase of surveillance cameras. Sheriff Nelson didn9t seem to know the specifics of the increase. That question left me curious; how- ever, after hearing interviews with truckers involved in the convoy going to Ottawa, Canada, this week, I9m deeply con- cerned. A trucker said the surveillance camera had recorded his information from his cell phone data and knew of his vac- cine passport and other information as he was going through a checkpoint. I realize that our governor is trying her best to implement extreme measures as forced mandates, permanent mandates, and wants to implement vaccine passports to [engage in commerce]. As you can tell in your communication from this commu- nity, there are many that believe what Governor Brown is doing regarding her response to COVID is unconstitutional, and pos- sibly illegal. I would like to request further reporting on the issues com- ing up and whether our elected officials are honest and forth- right in their agendas. I9ve already written on my years of personal experience in not being allowed to access public records and not getting anyone to enforce the laws on tampering with public records. Not only in our state, but FOIA requests as well. I will be try- ing again to get accurate public records to answer some of my questions. Valerie J. Troyer — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — Editor9s note: The quote from DA John Hummel Ms. Troyer refers to is: <I tell you what though, if I were invited, I would show up and tell them what I think of them, candidly and directly. I wouldn9t tailor my message to appease them. I would tell them that they9re an anti-American, dangerous group that repulses me, and we9d go from there.= s s s COVID testing woes To the Editor: I went to the Bend drive-through COVID-testing site on Saturday and was told by a National Guardsman that my test results would be available in 24 to 48 hours. Monday morning, I received a text saying I could go to <My Chart= in the St. Charles system to get results. As usual the password I had received about two months ago and carefully saved did not work, and I then attempted to reset my password and was given a code three times that did not work. Finally, I called the doctor9s office in Sisters and after a long wait where they advised me to go to <My Chart= on a recording, I was able to speak with a nurse, who said that <I would have received a call if my test was positive.= Surprise! Surely folks that run the COVID testing in Bend could ask a National Guardsman to say <If you test positive, you will receive a phone call!= Sounds simple, right? This is just a heads-up for anyone wondering if their test is positive and a way to circumvent St. Charles9 beloved <My Chart= system. I now have a note in my files that says, <Do not post any results to 8My Chart9 for this patient!= Good health and good luck, Linda Chaney This Week’s Crossword Sponsors Greg Wieland L.Ac.

During the final quarter, the Outlaws took better care of the ball, and only allowed three points off of turnovers. The game was out of reach at this point, but the Outlaws kept battling. The game ended in a 29-point loss. Palanuk led the Outlaws in scoring with 15 points. Murillo scored 10 points, Jamen Schwartz recorded nine, Adam Maddox-Castle tallied six, Mehkye Froehlich scored five, and Ricky Huffman added four. <Tonight9s game was a n o t h e r O r e g o n We s t Conference matchup against a top-ranked team in the state,= said Coach Chad Rush. <I was proud of the defensive effort we showed defending their big men and competing hard in our half-court defense. <We need to continue to learn to take care of the bas- ketball and make the most of each possession we get,= added Rush. <The boys con- tinue to work hard in practice on this issue, so I am con- fident that we will figure it out.= Sisters wrapped up their first half of league play with a loss against the Bulldogs at Woodburn on Friday.
