Restrooms closed
during park project
The City of Sisters will
start the Village Green Park
Improvement Project this
week, by removing the old
restroom building. Porta-
potties will be placed at
Village Green Park, but park
visitors are encouraged to use
the restrooms at Barclay Park
or Fir Street Park.
This project will
include placement of a new
ADA-compliant restroom
building with the addition of
showers and four two-door/
two-bike storage lockers.
The current electrical ser-
vice will be replaced and
improved to be able to pro-
vide better service for large
events hosted in the park.
The completion date is set
for the middle of November
of this year.
Council to hear about
civil discourse
Local residents often
express concern about main-
taining a positive public dis-
course in Sisters. To that end,
on Thursday, October 8, the
Sisters City Council is slated
to hear about the Speak Your
Peace (SYP) initiative dur-
ing the first half-hour of their
evening workshop.
The session begins at 6
p.m. at City Hall.
SYP has helped residents
and cities build trust and
engage more constructively
and effectively. The Council
will hear from local and area
residents who are familiar
with SYP and a facilitator
who has helped customize the
initiative to suit the needs of
communities throughout the
country. These individuals
have volunteered their time
to present this information
about SYP to the Council.
Members of the public are
welcome to attend.

Boys soccer blanks Cottage Grove
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The boys soccer team has
steamrolled over their league
opponents so far this season,
and they did it again with
a 3-0 victory over Cottage
Grove (CG) on Tuesday,
September 29. The Outlaws
limited the Lions to very few
looks at the goal.
Sisters got on the score-
board in the 10th minute of
play off a goal by Malachy
Sundstrom, who was assisted
by Jadon Bachtold. At the
half, Sisters held a 1-0 lead.
Eight minutes into the sec-
ond half, Colton Mannhalter
dribbled past the defense,
which had pushed the line up
to draw the Outlaws offsides.
“It was a smart play,
because the defense was
out of position, and we had
players rushing to get back
on-sides,” said Coach Rob
Jensen.
With 10 minutes left in the
game, Mannhalter chipped the
ball over the defense and in
to Alec Gannon, who flicked
it to Bachtold, who placed it
into the back of the net.
Sisters did miss some great
opportunities, and the Lions’
goalkeeper made some spec-
tacular saves. One save was in

Tristan Kaczmarek fights for the ball against Cottage Grove.
the first half off a header from
a corner kick that was on its
way to the back of the net, and
another was a finger-tip save
off a set piece, where Tristan
Kaczmarek blazed a ball from
40 yards out that was destined
for the back of the net.
Jensen said, “We played
well for just coming off a
three-day weekend, and hav-
ing lots of players in recov-
ery mode from injuries and
illnesses. It was great to
see us use our center mid-
fielders (Sean Willitts,
Jadon Bachtold, and Colton
Mannhalter) better and really
go to our strengths. We had
lots of opportunities to score
and did a better job pressur-
ing the opponent and limit-
ing opportunities to play long
balls.”
The Outlaws were to play
at home against Sutherlin on
Thursday, October 1, but due
to the shooting at Umpqua
Community College, the game
was canceled and rescheduled
for Wednesday, October 7 in
Sisters. Sisters will also play
at home against Sweet Home
on Thursday, October 8.
