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,

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.
