• 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.

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

really good when we were
connecting passes.”
Our team really
played well, and
controlled the game
down to the last second.

Two days later, the Outlaws
recorded a slim 1-0 victory at
Junction City. 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. Sisters will host Cottage
Grove at home on Thursday,
October 5. The game is sched-
uled for 6:30 p.m.
