Sisters Salutes...

• Sisters artist Jill Haney Neal has made the cover of Pink Magazine for the third time. In announcing their cover artist for the month of August, Pink wrote: "Ladies, raise your wine glasses in salute to Jill Haney Neal, our August-issue cover artist, whose whimsical, bodacious babes have graced a variety of artworks including paintings, wine labels, coffee mugs, and Pink's October 2016 and June 2020 magazine covers: Welcome back, Jill!"

Jill believes women were created in God's image with a universal spirit and are equally loved regardless of size, ethnicity, or background. "There is an edginess to my art, and from what I've been told, I'm still breaking barriers. When you get women together, they are funny and sexy, it's just part of our essence.

"'I have two lives," Jill explained, "I have my fine art life-more impressionistic, pen-and-ink wildlife and horses, but what people know me for is my women-life from a woman's point of view. I always want it to be empowering. I want it to have mixed races, all nationalities, and women in all different shapes because God loves us all."

• Janelle Guiney of Sisters has made it to the Little League World Series as part of the Bend North softball team.
