John Turner of Sisters will

for Bend’s annual Veterans
D ay P arade in dow n -
town Bend on Wednesday,

Committee. The parade will

versary of the end of World
War II, and the 40th anniver-
sary of the end of the Vietnam

“Your exemplary service,
leadership and devotion to
serving others sets you apart
as a U.S. Military Veteran
and as an American,” the
parade director Robin Rogers
wrote. “We thank you and all
veterans for your service.”
The 16th Annual Veterans
Day Parade will be held on
November 11 at 11 a.m. to

priorities, the committee,
coordinator Liebe, and her
RST will actively engage in
seeking solutions and projects
that contribute to successful
outcomes for each priority.
Most of the current seven
high priorities address issues
Sisters is currently working
on. The seven are: establish
a four-year university (OSU
Cascades); retain and grow
jobs; ensure the region has
land and infrastructure avail-
able to attract/retain employ-
ers; enhance transit in Central
Oregon; support the regional
creative economy; increase
workforce housing; and
encourage water conservation
and restoration and improve
water availability.
The three support priori-
ties are: improve sewer infra-
structure; support regional
agriculture; and improve for-
est health.
For Sisters to have the
expertise, connections, and
possible funding sources
brought to bear on local
issues through working with
the Regional Solutions coor-
dinator, team, and commit-
tee, is seen as a big advantage
for the vitality and economic
growth of the town. The
remodeled Cascade Avenue is
a daily visible reminder of the
benefits enjoyed by partner-
ing with Regional Solutions.
Yearbook crew takes reins at SHS
Sisters High School has
a new yearbook team. This
year, three seniors, two
juniors and one sophomore
joined the yearbook crew
under the advisement of Jim
Cornelius and Jerry Baldock.
The crew includes Danika
Wagner, Maggie Bidasolo,
Isaak Kanzig, Annika
Stadeli, Ceili Cornelius and
Cassidy Ling-Scott.
The yearbook has seen
dwindling numbers of par-
ticipants, in part due to a lack
of a dedicated class period to
produce it. This year a group
of students decided to change
that and create a fresh new,
well-organized yearbook
crew.
“In past years the year-
book has been a rushed
process, and we wanted to
change that, we want to make
the yearbook better than
ever,” said Ceili Cornelius.
“I joined yearbook
because I wanted to be
involved in what students
would keep for many years
to come,” said Cassidy Ling-
Scott. “I want to make some-
thing that really shows how
Sisters High School is for
students so that they them-
selves can remember their
high school years. I’m so
excited for how this will turn
out; we have such a great
team.”
The crew meets on their
own time and have already
begun work on production
of the yearbook. They are

reaping some educational
benefits, as well as producing
a lasting memento for their
classmates.
“Yearbook has put my
communication and cre-
ativity skills to the test. I’m
really excited to watch the
rest of the year unfold,”
said staff member Maggie
Bidasolo.
The staff meets every
Wednesday morning before
school. Each person has
assignments to fulfill each
week which keeps the book
moving along at a steady
pace.
Longtime yearbook orga-
nizer Danika Wagner said:
“It’s been a blessing to have
a group of people passionate
about the yearbook; it really
makes everything easier
knowing that there are others
helping. I’m excited to see
the finished product. I think
it’ll be the best one yet!”
To purchase the yearbook
in advance, parents or stu-
dents can pay $49.95 at the
Sisters High School front
