4 Wednesday, October 4, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws post wins on soccer pitch City snapshot By Sue Stafford Correspondent • A community meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 18, 5:30 to 7 p.m., at City Hall to inform and receive feedback from the public regarding the findings of a recently completed util- ity rate study. Citizens will have the opportunity to hear recommendations from the study for water and sewer rates adjustments and to ask questions of the Public Works staff and representa- tives of FCS Group who con- ducted the study. • Sisters City Council approved an ordinance amending the nuisance, abandoned vehicle, and dan- gerous building provisions in the Sisters Municipal Code, to make them clearer, and able to be more efficiently and effectively administered. Definitions and mainte- nance requirements are clari- fied to assist in abatement procedures and enforced compliance. • The August 2017 receipts for the Creekside Campground were 20 percent higher than the same time last year but are expected to come in lower for September due to the impact of the Milli Fire on tourism. • Coming up this fall, Sisters residents will have opportunities through sur- veys and public meetings to share their opinions on what they would like Sisters to look like — physically, eco- nomically, educationally, cul- turally and more — in three to five years. The consen- sus, expressed in the City’s Vision Project, will form the foundation for the strate- gic plan that will guide City staff, City Council, and City boards in their planning and budgeting. • Patrick Davenport, Community Development Director, announced the City received word they have been awarded the grant that will enable work to be done on the pedestrian bridge across Whychus Creek between Creekside Park and the campground. The approaches on both sides of the bridge as well paths leading to them will be altered to comply with ADA requirements. • Council awarded to Cameron McCarthy Landscape Architecture and Design of Eugene the con- tract to design the landscap- ing within and around the Highway 20 and Barclay Drive roundabout. Following the selection of the design for the roundabout art piece in February, work will begin on the landscape design drawings and specs expected to be completed by June 1. Over next summer, the con- struction contract for instal- lation of the landscaping will be awarded to another firm, with work to be done in July and August 2018. The landscape design will reflect the theme of “A Journey Through the Passes is a Journey Through a Land of Contrasts.” • As part of his monthly report to the City Council, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division Captain Paul Garrison reported that as a result of retraining five animal con- trol officers, the department would have five more road deputies able to patrol and provide code enforcement. In response to a question from Mayor Chuck Ryan, Garrison reported that there are no statistics to support a recent citizen allegation that crime is on the rise in Sisters. He also said the department is hoping to institute a patrol by an officer on bicycle in Sisters. I T ’ S H O M E CO M I N G You’ve got the perfect dress... Now come get the PERFECT UP DO!

Pine St., #101 | farmersagent.com/jrybka AUTO • HOME • LIFE • BUSINESS By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws boys soccer team posted two wins to push their Sky-Em record to 4-1. Sisters recorded 1-0 victories over both Elmira and Junction City. In Tuesday’s action, the Outlaws posted a narrow 1-0 victory at home against Elmira. Sisters scored three minutes into the game when Ultra Nilrattanothai passed the ball across the middle to Skyler Larson, who played the ball forward to Asher Bachtold. Bachtold finished the string of passes with a shot into the upper-left corner for the score. It was a great back-and- forth battle the remainder of the contest, and both teams missed some great oppor- tunities. Samson Henneous did a great job in the goal for the Outlaws and prevented at least three close goals. Henneous told The Nugget that one attempt by Elmira did take him by surprise. “In the first half, Elmira took a shot at the goal inside the 18 down towards the bottom-left corner,” said Henneous. “I was able to get to it at full stretch, and booted it out for a corner. Our team really played well, and con- trolled the game down to the last second.” “The boys really started to click on some combina- tion passing that we have been focusing on, and it paid off,” said Jensen. “We looked SHORE ACRES CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ON THE COAST DECEMBER 4-6 | $379 PPDO 325,000-plus spectacular Christmas lights in festive Shore Acres garden near Coos Bay.

Sisters got their goal in the 60th minute when Colby Simeral assisted Asher Bachtold, who hit a curving shot from 25 yards out into the upper-right corner. Jensen noted that Henneous had another great game in the goal, and Brogan Petterson played his best game of the season. Petterson played with great energy at outside-back, and shut down the Falcons’ best player. “Asher has really come on for us this past week with two goals, but the wins have really been a team effort all around,” said Jensen. “Everybody has been getting involved, and we are passing the ball and pos- sessing it well. The team is improving every game, and we’re on track to make a run into playoffs.” The Outlaws are currently 4-1 in Sky-Em and 4-4 over- all.
