Hi my name is TWOS-DAY as I am fortunate to have made my debut at HSCO on 2/22/2022! I am very charming and playful; loving to cuddle on my favorite laps. I was found as a stray and after being brought to HSCO I have realized the street life is not for me! I may prefer a home on my own where I can have the run of the place without those pesky dogs to bother me. A proper introduction with other cats might work out as long as time and patience are given to all felines involved. Give me a chance, no maybe two and I will be sure to steal your heart!

The proj- ect includes a signature gar- den space at the ranch that is inspired by a quilt design, along with the creation of a quilt fashioned to reflect the garden space. Proposals are sought from Central Oregon quilt makers, artists, and/or designers experienced with quilt patterns. Pine Meadow Ranch is a working ranch at the southwest corner of Sisters, focused on arts, agricultural and ecological projects, Proposals are due March 31, and the selection will be made the first week of April. The garden at Pine Meadow Ranch will be a 10-foot-by- 10-foot bed as a <Quilt Block Design= or <Quilt Design= out of plants and flowers. Planting for this growing sea- son will begin in early April. Implementation of the garden space quilt pattern will be led by the PMRCAA9s Garden Manager, and the accompa- nying quilt is to be completed in time for display at the 2022 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, set for July 9. The Quilt Garden program will be a permanent asset at PMRCAA, and the plant- ings within the bed will be changed annually for new art- ists. Every year, signage with the title and designer9s name will be placed near the bed, along with other celebratory and programming activities. More outreach will also be done throughout the season to highlight the chosen designer, and the finalist will receive a stipend of $750. This will be the second annual Quilt Garden. The inaugural gar- den was launched in 2021 to honor the nationally recog- nized quilting tradition cel- ebrated in Sisters.

Baker too much for Outlaws in play-in game By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws basketball squad traveled five long hours to Baker on Saturday, February 26, and faced the Bulldogs in a play-in game that ended in a 61-38 loss for the Outlaws. The loss brought the Outlaws9 season to a close. No. 7-ranked Baker plays an aggressive, pressure- packed type of defense that the Outlaws knew would be difficult to figure out. Although they9d simulated the style in practice, the live game play proved to be dif- ferent, and the Outlaws com- mitted nine turnovers in the first period, giving up 11 tran- sition points to the Bulldogs. In addition to the transi- tion points, the Bulldogs hit three shots from behind the three-point arc. The odds were against the Outlaws, but they continued to battle and ended the quarter on a 5-0 run behind a Max Palanuk lay- up and a three-pointer from Mehkye Froehlich. It was a rough second quarter for the Outlaws. After trading baskets for the first three minutes of the period, the Bulldogs went on a 12-2 run to close out the quar- ter with an 8-21 advantage. Baker scored 10 points off turnovers, and once again hit three three-pointers in the period. The Outlaws did a much better job against the Bulldogs9 pressure in the third quarter. Unfortunately for the Outlaws, the Bulldogs contin- ued their hot shooting from behind the arc. The Outlaws switched to a 1-3-1 zone late in the quarter and were able to slow the Bulldogs9 attack a bit and reduce the Bulldogs9 scoring run. As was the case with the Outlaws all season, they never stopped in the fourth quarter, but buckled down and gave their all. Sisters won the quar- ter 7-6. AJ Scholl hit the final bucket of the season for the Outlaws with a rebound and put-back. Palanuk led the Outlaws with 18 points and Ricky Huffman followed with eight. Jessey Murillo tallied four points, Froehlich and Noah Pittman contributed three points each, and AJ Scholl added two. <Despite the loss, I am so proud of this team for work- ing hard all season and getting an opportunity to play in the postseason,= said Coach Chad Rush. <This team should not be defined by the score of this game, but rather for earning the opportunity to play in this game. We hope this will be the first of many postseason appearances for the Outlaws.=
