📰 News we're reading

1. Rodeo president resigns amid turmoil (nuggetnews.com) — Leadership at Sisters Rodeo is shifting just weeks before performances, as board president Scott Talerico resigns following formal complaints about his conduct and concerns over legal and reputational risk. Board members and longtime supporters stress their commitment to accountability while working urgently to keep this signature Sisters event on track and successful for the community.
   

2. 2026 Oregon wildfire forecast is dire (nuggetnews.com) — Sisters Country faces a significantly elevated wildfire risk this summer, with record-low snowpack, likely El Niño conditions, and forecasts pointing to above-normal fire potential east of the Cascades. Local fire chief Tony Prior urges residents, especially in the wildland-urban interface, to clear defensible space, follow burning restrictions, and prepare now as agencies ramp up staffing and resources.
   

3. Modern irrigation system helps Three Sisters Irrigation weather severe drought (redmondspokesman.com) — Farmers served by Three Sisters Irrigation District near Sisters are bracing for an extremely low-snowpack year, but decades of investment in piped, pressurized canals should help stretch scarce water. Senior water-right holders may get at least one hay cutting, yet officials warn that timing of snowmelt and strict creek flow protections could still leave fields short later this summer.
   

4. Hatchery fish fuel strong steelhead returns in Upper Deschutes Basin (bendbulletin.com) — Fish raised at Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery west of Sisters are driving some of the strongest steelhead returns the Upper Deschutes Basin has seen in years, though almost all are hatchery-origin. Biologists and conservation groups report promising spawning activity in restored stretches of Whychus Creek and other area streams, while stressing that a self-sustaining wild steelhead population is still many years away.
