22 Wednesday, October 25, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon VOLLEYBALL: Outlaws clinched yet another league title Continued from page 3 hits from both Hawley (Harrer) and Ashlynn (Cantwell). Jessie (Brigham) provided solid passing from the back row.” Seniors Jessie Brigham and Hawley Harrer com- mented on their league play and the upcoming playoffs. Brigham said, “This match was bittersweet knowing it was my last league game. It was exciting to get another league win, but the focus on our time off has to be precise and sharp as we prepare for the playoffs.” Harrer said, “I think league went really well. We kept our level high, and made sure we worked hard FRIEND: Sisters woman committed to public transport work Continued from page 3 Recently hired COIC Transportation Manager Michelle Rhoads was thrilled with the selection of Friend for this award. She stated, “Karen is well deserving of this high honor due to her vision, passion, commit- ment and tireless efforts that have led to a positive and lasting difference for public in practice. We are all excited for the upcoming games, and hope with hard work we make it to state. I think we will have to push ourselves to the next level in practice, but I know we’re prepared for what’s to come.” Coach Rush noted that the Outlaws will be hard at work in the gym fine-turning some key elements of their game; blocking, their offense, and hitting, as they prepare for their first post-season battle. “We were able to go through league 10-0, and at times we found ourselves playing slow and unmoti- vated,” noted Rush. “We need to come at practice with a new intensity and prepare for some tough competition ahead.” Sisters starts the post-sea- son with a bye and will host the first round of the playoffs at home on October 28. transportation in Oregon, and especially Central Oregon.” Thanks to Friend’s leader- ship, Central Oregon’s pub- lic transportation system is well positioned to support Central Oregon’s top priori- ties and to preserve commu- nity livability in the com- ing years as regional demo- graphics change, population continues its upward trajec- tory, the economy continues to diversify and grow, and higher education continues to expand at Central Oregon Community College and the OSU-Cascades campuses. involved! Shirley Miller Kiwanis Club of Sisters LETTERS Continued from page 2 s s s s To the Editor: Wow! The year just flew by and it’s time to think about Christmas. Sisters Kiwanis, the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Department and The Nugget’s Furry Friends are gearing up for our annual Christmas Food Share, Spirit of Christmas Toy Drive and food for our Furry Friends. We have been handing applications out at the food bank, the fire department and the FAN (Family Access Network) office at the school for almost a month now, and at this point in time we have only 33 applications. So, this is a letter to remind everyone who needs to receive this joyful gift to pick up an application and promptly return it. The fire department uses donations to buy some gifts, but a large share of them are brought in by the community who take the gift tags off the Christmas trees at Ray’s and Bi-Mart. If you have children, getting that application back promptly ensures the process goes forward and it helps the volunteers not have to deal with things at the last minute, which gets pretty stressful. The cut-off date this year for the Toy Drive is November 17. Please help us by getting applications in by that time. We will be at the Sisters Fire Hall on Saturday, December 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to give out the Kiwanis Christmas Dinner gift certificates, the toys from Spirit of Christmas Toy Drive and pet food that comes from the The Nugget’s Furry Friends drive. We live in an amazing community, let’s make this the best Christmas ever for everyone The fi x is... s s To the Editor: I have lived in my home on Tamarack Street for 41 years and never had a pet “go missing.” That all changed on October 4, between 4:15 and 5:30 a.m. on that Wednesday morning when Jackson (my cat, see Pet Place on 12) did not come for breakfast. Neighbors have checked garages and sheds in case he was shut inside. Family, friends and very nice people I have met have looked all over out back, even though he does not roam all over but stays in my yard, and neighbor Tim as seen him on occasion in his backyard. Grateful for the calls, and I have followed phone tips, but no luck. I have posted pictures of Jackson all over town. He is on Facebook, Sisters Swap, and Craigslist. Vet clinics and the Humane Society have been notified. There is no sign of Jackson, not one hair. Somebody must know something. There are no words to express how I feel: hours of crying, trouble sleeping, viewing the yard many times during the day hoping to see him. Jackson is friendly, sweet, soft and cud- dly, even at 15-17 pounds. When I work in the flowerbeds, he is right there helping me. Picking up pinecones in my yard, he follows me. Our 12 years together is not enough. On behalf of Jackson and myself, I want to thank all of you who have been so kind, helpful and understanding in my search for my beloved cat. The Nugget is greatly appre- ciated. I am not giving up and ask you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
