Continued from page 3
championship volleyball
team, the first volleyball
championship in Sisters High
School (SHS) history.
Jones has also earned
many personal honors. He
was the National High School
Coach of the Year (NHSCY)
in 1992, and the finalist for
the NHSCY in 1987. He was
named the Oregon girls Coach
of the Year in 1979 and 1992
for all girls sports, and named
the state volleyball girls
Coach of the Year four times.
Rod has been inducted
into the Portland Public
School Coaches/Athletes Hall
of Fame, and the National
Volleyball Festival Hall of
Fame. He earned the National
Distinguished Service Award/
USA volleyball award, and
as an athlete was inducted
into the Athletic Hall of Fame
for baseball at the Oregon
College of Education (now
Western Oregon).
Jones has vivid memories
of SHS’s first state volleyball
championship, and as one of
the coaches, and along with
the team was inducted into
the SHS Hall of Fame last
year.
And now, two decades
later and in a different cen-
tury, Jones has come full cir-
cle and will coach the Lady
Outlaws once again.
Jones shared why he came
back to Sisters.
“I am looking forward to
the challenge,” said Jones. “I
love the sport, and I love the
kids. I enjoy the area, have
very fond memories, and have
good friends that I cherish.”
Jones explained his phi-
losophy to The Nugget:
“It’s like looking at a
clock. You see all the slashes
that represent seconds, min-
utes and hours, and I want to
help kids utilize their time,
and make the most of every
day. Volleyball is like another
classroom with many oppor-
tunities. At any given moment
it is what it is, and there’s no
excuses.”
Volleyball is like
another classroom with
many opportunities.
At any given moment
it is what it is, and
there’s no excuses.

Jones shared he wants
the Lady Outlaws to form a
strong bond, get along with
each other, and believe in
themselves. He wants his
players to have each others’
trust and each others’ backs.
A strong coaching staff
will stand by Jones, and
he’s excited to have them.
Brad Bulloch, Suzie Fouts-
Krueger, and Cris Converse
will all assist Jones this year.
Bulloch worked alongside
Rod as a coach 20 years ago,
and Krueger was a first-team
all-state player on that first
SHS championship team.

“Driving through in 2014, we were taken by the small-town
charm of Sisters. We hired a Bend realtor, but it wasn’t the
right fi t. From the fi rst conversation, it was clear that
Ali was the one: deeply rooted in the community
with endless real estate knowledge.
Driving through neighborhoods, she often knew the history
of a house. We weren’t always sure what we wanted, but she
helped us fi gure it out with honest and objective feedback,
patience and reassurance. She even introduced us to Sisters
residents and businesses to help us start connecting to our
new town. We walked away with not only a new home, but...
...a friend that embodies all that
we love about the Sisters community.
And we would never think about using a diff erent realtor.”

MARIJuAnA: Several
applications have been
made for projects
Continued from page 1
no licenses will be issued to a
business whose activities are
prohibited by local, state, or
Federal law. Although mari-
juana growing, processing,
testing, and sales are legal
in Oregon and several other
states, marijuana is still con-
sidered an illegal substance
on the Federal level.
Davenport reported that
he did get one inquiry each
about processing and testing
as well as two commercial
grow questions, all of which
were turned away.
About three months
ago, someone inquired
about processing indus-
trial hemp for products like
soap, lotions, garments, etc.
When Davenport asked the
City’s previous legal counsel
and the Drug Enforcement
A g e n c y ’s ( D E A ) S a n
Francisco office, as well as
the Oregon attorney gen-
eral’s office for direction on
the question, he received no
clear response.
“I advised the inquirer
to get a determination from
the DEA if processing hemp
products is legal under the
Fed’s rules and to forward
that response to us. At this
point in time he hasn’t heard
back from the inquirer,” he
said.
With legalization being
considered by a number of
states across the country,
and the Federal govern-
ment announcing it will not
enforce any laws regard-
ing marijuana, interim City
Manager Rick Allen sug-
gested to Council that it
would be prudent for them
to establish policy regarding
marijuana before it is legal
nationwide. He mentioned
that judging of marijuana
plants as an agricultural
product is occurring this
summer at the Oregon State
Fair.
“It is critically important
to have regulations in place
if Federal regulations go
away,” cautioned temporary
city attorney Jeremy Green.
New regulations regard-
ing time, place, and manner
of sale (TPMs) would be
created for the Development
Code, which would go before
the Planning Commission
for review and approval and
then to the City Council
for adoption. TPMs regu-
late things such as where
retail outlets or growing
and processing operations
may be located — distance
from parks and schools,
and which areas or streets
of town. They also regulate
hours of operation, signage,
appearance of storefronts,
and elimination of process-
ing and growing odors and
waste.
Allen told the Council
there is no need to reinvent
the wheel when they can
build the City’s regulations
on the foundation established
by the State of Oregon.
When the Planning
Commission and City
Council take up this issue,
there will be ample opportu-
nity for public input.
