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

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.

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

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.
