Elementary school
welcomes counselor
Erin Borla
Correspondent
Sisters Elementary School
welcomed new school coun-
selor Wendy Von Segren this
week, as classes started. Von
Segren comes off of 17 years
teaching experience at the
elementary-school level in
the Redmond School District.
This year marks the first in
some number of years that all
three schools have each had a
certified counselor.
Von Segren holds a mas-
ter’s degree in counseling
from Lewis & Clark College.
Her husband is a school coun-
selor in Terrebonne, where
both of her children attend
school.
“I have always wanted
to be a school counselor,”
she told The Nugget.
“Throughout my years as an
elementary school teacher,
character-based and social/
emotional education has
always been a big part of my
teaching style. This was a
natural transition.”
This year, Von Segren is
looking forward to a pro-
active approach to meet
the needs of all students at
Sisters Elementary School.
Three days a week she will

Sisters reaches out
to ‘one of our own’
By Erin Borla
Correspondent
Justin Veloso is one of our
own. A homegrown young
man who followed his dreams
to New York City after being
encouraged by his parents,
dedicated teachers, and a
community that believed in
him. After graduating, tour-
ing, and then returning home
to Sisters Country to give
back through music, he is
being shown more support
through our community of
Sisters.
Veloso, a 2006 graduate of
Sisters High School, played
the drums under the direction
of then-band-instructor Jody
Henderson. He also played
in several workshops at
Southern Oregon University
under the direction of Mel
Brown, a well-known drum-
mer from Portland, and at
camps during the summer at
the University of Oregon.
His vision of being a pro-
fessional drummer started
when he read a Miles Davis

The community honored
Sisters High School’s athletic
heritage last week by induct-
ing nine individuals and a
team into the Outlaw Hall of
Fame.
About 125 people
attended the banquet
Saturday, September 3, at the
high school. It was partly a
fundraiser for Sisters schools
co-curricular activities, but
mostly a salute to those who
have shaped Outlaw athletic
programs.
“Tonight is a chance to
bring our school system and
the public together,” said
Don Pollard, who joined Kris
Kristovich to organize the
second annual event.
Pollard added that those
chosen helped create the
Sisters “culture of excel-
lence” both on and off the
athletic field.
Inductees included Amy
Cretsinger, a multi-sport
champion who graduated in
2003; Bill Edwards, teacher
and mentor from the 1940s
through 1980s; Mary Flande,
former teacher, coach, and
district athletic director;
Jonathan, Christian and
David Green, who brought
home state golf titles; Gene
Harrison, a multi-sport cham-
pion who graduated in 1955;
Jenny (Boswell) Melton, a
2006 grad who excelled in
many sports; and Gordon
Mouser, another multi-sport
champ who graduated in
1958.
The 1999 Class 3A state
football championship team
also was inducted. Jacob
Gurney, a member of the
current Sisters football team,
told those in attendance that
the 1999 team “served as an
inspiration to other Outlaw
football teams.”
Dusty Macauley, a mem-
ber of the title team, said
those players were so com-
petitive that they wanted to
win every play. Local resi-
dents played a part in the
championship march, too.
“Everyone was always
behind us,” Macauley said.
“I love coming back here. I
have fond memories of this
place.”
Harrison recalled football
players of the mid-1950s put-
ting numbers on sweatshirts
with markers because there
wasn’t enough money to buy
regular uniforms. It didn’t
diminish the team’s pride, he
