Wednesday, March 11, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Girls lacrosse start season with 16 players By Rongi Yost Correspondent The girls lacrosse team returns nine veteran players and adds seven new players to their squad this year. First- year Coach Mikaela Trott- Rickards is excited about her team, their potential, and the season ahead. Emily Ford, Jenny O’Connor, Summer Roberson and Langley Vogt return as seniors and their final year with the team. Ford is a captain and will play at midfield. Emily is tall and has very good stick skills, which is a great combo according to Trott-Rickards. O’Connor is short and quick and will play attack. Jenny can out-sprint other players and she doesn’t quit until the ball is in her stick. Vogt pos- sesses advanced technical skills and, according to Trott- Rickards, has a mature under- standing of the game and field positioning. Langley will play center and is also a captain on the squad. Tr o t t - R i c k a r d s s a i d , “Langley is very dedicated and organized. She is going to have an amazing senior year.” Summer Roberson is in her second year of lacrosse, will play defense for the Outlaws, and rounds out the senior players. “Summer is willing to work hard to improve on her skills from last year,” said Trott- Rickards. “She will be a great asset to the team’s defense.” Summer is willing to work hard to improve on her skills from last year. She will be a great asset to the team’s defense. — Mikaela trott-Rickards Four juniors, Sierra Hummel, Mackenzie H e n d r i c k s o n , Ta y l o r Schneider and Marissa Young, as well as sophomore Bree Papworth, complete the returning players. Hummel’s position is still undecided but Trott-Rickards told The Nugget that Sierra is a positive and uplifting team- mate, who is strong and grow- ing into an amazing player, with great stick skills and decision-making. See lACRoSSe on page 24 LETTERS Continued from page 2 To the Editor: If there is any doubt as to the magnitude of the problem of Sisters’ dysfunctional city government, one has only to look at the city’s legal bills. In 2014 Sisters paid its attorney, Steve Bryant, $66,700. In the same time period the City of Redmond, with a popula- tion 12.5 times that of Sisters, paid Mr. Bryant only $42,400. And in the first five weeks of this year Sisters has spent $14,500 in legal fees; at that rate, we will more than double last year’s legal expenditures if nothing changes! Not surprisingly, the spike in money spent on legal advice coincides with the arrival of the Boyd/Gorayeb team. The voters sent half of that dynamic duo packing; we can only hope that the city coun- cil will finish the job.

Make no mistake, Mr. Boyd’s threat is not directed toward some abstract entity. It imper- ils innocent people who have no involve- ment in his dispute. If Mr. Boyd files and wins his lawsuit, and if the City’s insurance policy does not cover the loss as city attor- ney Steve Bryant has warned would hap- pen, it could be a calamitous blow to City services. I wonder how many people would view Mr. Boyd as devoted to his community when their water stops running and sewage lines back up.
