4 Wednesday, October 26, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Girls soccer closes out season Can City’s campground stay open all year? By Rongi Yost Correspondent The girls soccer team closed out their last week of league play with a 2-3 loss at home against Junction City on Tuesday, October 18, and a 0-2 loss at Cottage Grove two days later. Sisters honored their five senior players, Charlotte Barton, Nika Chick, Lacey Gilmore, Julianne Meeter and Sabrina Reifschneider, prior to the start of Tuesday’s home game against the Tigers. JC held the Outlaws score- less and held a 2-0 lead at the half. With 10 minutes left in the contest, Nika Chick beat two defenders and scored on a shot from 20 yards out. Eight minutes later, the Tigers scored to go up by two. Sisters got a free kick when a JC player had words with the referee. The free kick was taken by Chick, who scored a 50-yard goal shot right below the crossbar into the corner of the net. That closed the deficit to one, but time ran out on the clock, and JC recorded the win. Coach Jenna Pike com- mented on the game. “We played very well, but JC just scored more goals,” said Pike. “Lexi Stewart played a very good game. She had a very physical match- up, and was able to take foul after foul without fouling back. She stayed in control, By Sue Stafford Correspondent PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Olivia Godfrey intercepts the ball vs. Junction City. was patient and level-headed in order to prevent any free kicks for JC. Charlotte Barton also played an amazing game. She took many shots, and had very solid saves.” The Outlaws suffered a 0-2 shut-out against the Lions at Cottage Grove on Thursday. CG scored their first goal 20 minutes into the game, and then scored again 20 minutes into the second half. “This game was extremely physical for the girls, but they held their ground and fought to the very end,” said Pike. “ Pike noted Barton and Reifschneider’s play. “Charlotte played a really good game with nine saves, and was in control in the back,” said Pike. “Sabrina also played really well in the midfield and was able to move the ball around and gain possession for our team.” The previous week, Tuesday, October 11, the Outlaws defeated the Huskies 5-3 at home in Sisters. The Outlaws were down 0-2 at the half, and battled back with five goals in the second half for the win. Two days later, the Outlaws played in con- stant rain in their 0-4 loss at Elmira. “I really think the elements got to us, and we just didn’t play as well as we normally do,” said Pike. “It was so wet, the girls could barely control the ball.” In a recent letter to the editor, an inquiry was made regarding the possibility of keeping the Creekside Campground open dur- ing the winter months to accommodate people who are unable to find housing in Sisters but want to live in the city, utilizing RVs and trailers. In an attempt to pro- vide answers to that ques- tion, The Nugget spoke with Public Works Director Paul Bertagna. He said the very first thing that would be required when investigat- ing the possibility of having the campground open year- round would be a reading of the campground master plan to ascertain the original ground rules put forth when the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation ceded the campground to the City. If year-round use was approved, the issue would then need to go before the City Parks Advisory Board, the public body that makes all recommendations to the City Council regard- ing issues having to do with parks within the city limits. Provided the Parks Board agreed to consider the issue, a series of public hearings would be held to hear from the citizens, much like the public input prior to the recent changes and improve- ments made within the camp- ground. Following hearings and deliberation, if required, the Parks Board would for- ward their recommenda- tion to the City Council, who would make the final decision. One major consideration would be the annual prac- tice each winter of blowing out all the water lines and shutting off the water within the campground to avoid water freezing in the pipes and causing breakage and leaks. “It would require a lot of work and materials to main- tain the water supply, includ- ing wrapping all the pipes with heat tape,” according to Bertagna. The campground bath- room also requires winter- izing, and this coming win- ter the existing bathroom is scheduled to be replaced, which means work will be ongoing through the winter. “Staff will do whatever we are directed to do. We carry out the orders provided to us by the Parks Board and the City Council,” said Bertagna.
