Something to Celebrate
Honored together
First Citizen, Junior First a father-daughter team
By Peggy Savage
Kennedy High School students and Mount Angel School District staff for his contributions of time and resources to the district and its students.
This year a Mount Angel father and daughter have been named first citizens for 2017 by the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce.
For two years, he served as chairman of the district’s Long-Range Facility Planning Committee, whose efforts resulted in the passage of a $10 million bond to renovate district buildings. He also served as a member of the Bond Oversight Committee.
First Citizen is Tommy Riedman, owner of Riedman Construction. His daughter, Tressa Riedman, a senior at John F. Kennedy High School, is the 2017 Junior First Citizen.
Tommy Riedman, First Citizen Tressa Riedman says she learned her sense of community involvement from her father, Tommy. “I think it’s really cool my dad cares so much about our community, and I take after him,” Tressa said. “I love him. He has such good morality, and work ethics are such a big thing in my family. I look up to him, and he’s my role model.” Learning that both he and his daughter had won the awards in the same year came as a surprise to Tommy Riedman.
Tommy Riedman
“This was pretty amazing these two happening at the same time because the awards are not really connected,” he said. “But it’s pretty exciting. It’s nice, quite an honor. I had a feeling Tressa would get the junior first citizen award. She works so hard. But it is a bonus to have something like this, both of us together.” Riedman was nominated by many
“Tommy’s contributions have been as a leader and advocate for school programs and facilities improvements,” one nomination read. “Tommy has been a long-time volunteer of youth sports and provided multiple contributions of time and materials to the improvement and maintenance of our athletic facilities.” As owner of Riedman Construction, Riedman has donated time to the renewed career technical education program at Kennedy High School, presenting lessons to students in the classroom and introducing them to
opportunities in the building trades. Most recently, he mentored students in the program two or three days weekly for three months, teaching them to build a shed, which they are now selling to make money for another project. “Tommy donated his time to teach us useful skills with construction,” one student nomination reads. “Through the past three months of building this, I learned a lot of new skills, and I will be able to apply these skills later on in life. Tommy is also involved in coaching our softball team.” “Not only has he taught us various skills, but he has taught us how important patience and a hard work ethic is,” another student wrote. “Tommy possesses many qualities that have inspired us.” Riedman who is also a volunteer fireman, said he enjoyed the experience of working with the kids in their shop class. “I knew they were getting their shop going again from years of not having it,” he said. “I thought it would be fun

She is a hard worker, and is a member of nearly every club we have. She created a club this year to spread tolerance and equality. She plays multiple sports and is a leader in those arenas. All-around, she’s a nice kid.”
Tressa Riedman, Junior First Citizen A senior at Kennedy High School, Tressa Riedman not only serves as Associated Student Body vice president, but she is also captain of the softball and volleyball teams, serves at president of National Honor Society, president of the school’s chapter of Health Occupations Students of America, president and founder of the club Students Promoting Equality And Kindness (SPEAK), member of the JFK For Life club, and a representative at the American Legion Auxiliary’s Girls State event, where she served as mock county treasurer and was voted mock U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice. Riedman, who has maintained a 4.0 GPA, has also earned merit scholarship awards in Spanish, psychology and history, and a Daughters of the American Revolution Citizen Award.
A volunteer at the Oktoberfest, in St. Mary’s Parish and at Providence Benedictine Nursing Home, Riedman also volunteers for numerous school activities. But, Tressa said, her most rewarding volunteer experience has been working with residents in the nursing home.
Tressa Riedman
Jessica Schmidtman, a social studies teacher at Kennedy, nominated Tressa Riedman for the Junior First Citizen Award. “She is very successful academically, Schmidtman wrote. “Above her peers in many arenas, and puts true effort into her work and excels, and has great goals. She has blossomed into a leader...
“I love the residents there,” she said. “Most of the time, I just sit and talk with them.” After graduation, Riedman says she plans to attend a four-year university, although she is not sure yet which one. “I want to go to med school and become a doctor,” she said. “I’m thinking of specializing in oncology.”

Something to Celebrate
Brightening the town By Melissa Wagoner Kathy Eder-Deshon has been caring for the Mount Angel fountain for over 25 years, strictly on a volunteer basis, at no cost to the Chamber of Commerce. Now – although she recently retired from the task due to health issues – she is getting the recognition she so greatly deserves in the form of the 2017 President’s Award. “It’s an award for someone who’s done exceptional service just for the Chamber,” Mount Angel Chamber President Pete Wall explained. “I had more than one person say it should be given to Kathy Eder-Deshon.” Eder-Deshon, who grew up on the very land on which she now lives, was a farmer’s daughter and she thinks that may have something to do with why she still loves taking care of the land. “I love different plants and learning different things about what’s out there,” she said. “Gardening to me is my release.” In the ‘90s Eder-Deshon and her sister-
Kathy Eder-Deshon given President’s Award
in-law, who also had an affinity for plants, became members of the Mount Angel Garden Club.
“The satisfaction of looking at it when it gets cleaned up and groomed – it just looks pretty, especially in the spring. It just brightens things up and the fountain itself is so pretty.
“It was some of the sweetest ladies and so full of knowledge,” she remembered. “One of my favorite things was we would bring in our greenery and make wreaths to give to the shut-ins around the area.”
Eder-Deshon is no stranger to volunteerism. A member of the Catholic Daughters, St. Ann’s Altar Society and St. Joseph Shelter she helps out with annual dinners, works in Oktoberfest booths and helps with general fundraising.
At that time one of the club’s main responsibilities was taking care of the space that would eventually house the fountain.
“I like to help people,” she summed up. “That’s part of my job at work – I used to be a claims adjuster. I just love doing things for people.”
“It was a lot of weeding, trimming and – when the Garden Club was doing it – we planted annually,” she remembered. “That got to be quite an expense.” With the installation of the fountain the planting needs became less but the area still required a good deal of maintenance. Eventually the club, whose members were mostly elderly, disbanded, donating the final balance of their account to carry on the work of maintaining the fountain. After that the Friends of the Fountain
Kathy Eder-Deshon
Club was established but that only lasted for a handful of years before it too died out. That’s when Eder-Deshon quietly decided to take on the task alone. “I enjoyed it,” she said.
Eder-Deshon also has a deep love for the city of Mount Angel, of which the fountain is a focal point and symbol. “Mount Angel is just a neat little town,” she said with a smile. “You can’t walk through it or drive through it without seeing someone you know. It’s where my heart is.”

Something to Celebrate
Completely at home By Brenna Wiegand It’s no surprise to learn that Jerry Lauzon has been awarded Mount Angel’s Lifetime Achievement award. He and the other awardees will be honored at the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce First Citizen Banquet March 19 at the Mount Angel Community Festhalle. Lauzon has impacted nearly all aspects of Mount Angel life since taking up residence upon his Army retirement in 1991. He determined to “be at home” in Mount Angel by plunging in. The first time he attended St. Mary Catholic Church, they were short a reader, so Lauzon got up and did the readings. He has immersed himself in the church and its well-being over the decades and calls himself “St. Mary’s oldest altar boy.” When the 1993 earthquake hit he was among the first to walk into St. Mary’s and witness the destruction.

my soldiers regardless of their denomination. In my last command I had seven chaplains reporting to me and over the course of a given month I’d visit each one to see how they were doing. “Religion is my moral compass; how I think and how I act is based upon my church and in my family training.” Lauzon was born and raised in New England and joined the U.S. Army in 1955. Most of his time was in nuclear missile forces in Germany where he met Connie Beard, an Oregon girl. They’ve been married 52 years. “My greatest decision was marrying my wife and fathering my children,” Lauzon said. “Those were the great joys of my life.” Connie agreed to follow her career soldier “whither thou goest” with the stipulation that when he retired they move to “God’s Country.”
Lauzon knew the church must be saved. He rolled up his sleeves to help and within eight weeks his team raised $1.2 million toward the church’s restoration. Just recently, he was instrumental in obtaining a $50,000 grant for improvements to St. Mary’s Cemetery.
“Here’s a good Germanic community if ever there was one,” he told Connie upon their first visit to Mount Angel decades ago. “When we get out of the Army, Mount Angel is the type of place we would be very happy to live in.”
“I grew up as an active member of my church,” Lauzon said. “Even during my 35 years in the Army church was important to me. My role as an officer was to take care of
U.S. Army Colonel Jerry Lauzon served as Inspector General of Oregon the two years prior to his 1991 retirement. When he left for training, Connie headed to
Mount Angel to find a home. “My requirements included being in walking distance of a church and a good tavern,” Jerry said. Connie called to say she’d found a place with a view of the church and within walking distance of a couple friendly taverns. “Buy it,” he told her. As retirement loomed, it was now up to Lauzon to find his next post. With a master’s degree in public administration, he thought he’d run for city council. “Being a PR guy, I made a flier and knocked on every door in Mount Angel,” he said. “I was elected and served eight marvelous years as a city councilor.” Meanwhile he found his true calling as an Oktoberfest board member and soon became its president. He felt in this capacity he could do great good for the community. The first item of business was enhancing the festival by helping to make it a true family oriented event. An unregulated flow of alcoholic beverages needed to be controlled. The notorious stickers had to be eliminated. “This is not how you run a festival,” he told the board. “You’ve got music, food, wonderful wines and beers, so it’s up to us – not the public – to control this wonderful event. We can make it a truly fantastic adventure.”

Stephen and Connie Miller receive Distinguished Service Award
By Melissa Wagoner
collector – and, of course, working in their community.
Stephen Miller is quick to make it known that he and Connie, his wife of over 51 years, come as a package – but really that’s obvious. They finish each other’s sentences, laugh at one another’s jokes and spend a lot of time together volunteering for various organizations.
“To me it’s paying back,” Stephen explained. “I’ve had a very good life. You’re paying back and paying forward – and then there’s the social benefit.” “It’s a nice side benefit,” Connie agreed. When the Millers found out about the award nomination they were surprised because they had already been awarded the Helping Hands Award in 2004, but they were also humbled.
“I guess I won’t trade him in,” Connie said smiling at him fondly. Extraordinarily active within their community of Mount Angel, the couple will receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce March 19 during the First Citizen Banquet at the Festhalle. “Steve and Connie Miller epitomize volunteerism to our community,” nominator Scott Wall said. “They consistently, and with strong dedication, volunteer for Mount Angel Oktoberfest, the Oregon Garden, Mount Angel Abbey, Wurstfest, the American Legion, and throughout the year when opportunities present themselves.” Originally from the Rogue Valley, the Millers moved to Mount Angel 17 years ago to be closer to the abbey, which they had been visiting since 1970. Right away a neighbor suggested they become

community volunteers as a way to make friends. “We’ve had a lot of fun,” Stephen said. “It keeps us active too. An active life is what we wanted.” Stephen, a retired firefighter for the Medford Fire Department and Connie, a retired legal secretary, met in high school but didn’t begin dating until they ran into each other years later at a youth club. The couple went on to raise two children – Natalie and Steve – and spent their early marriage camping, refinishing old cars – of which Stephen is an avid
“Everybody deserves the award because everybody contributes. There is no ‘I,’” Stephen said. “Some people don’t realize O’fest is raising money for the community. Everybody works together and they raise money, then the money is donated locally.” “The way things are now with taxes there are so many little organizations that wouldn’t survive,” Connie agreed. The couple’s modest reaction does not surprise Wall at all. “The two of them do not seek recognition or the spotlight,” he wrote. “They do what the best volunteers do, quietly get the work done that needs to be done and look for any opportunity to help or make the lives of others better. Through their kindness and strong work ethic they set an example for others to strive towards.”

Glockenspiel Restaurant named 2017 Business of the Year
By Brenna Wiegand
“They’re just really trying to get work experience. Every time the high school has something pop up they send me an email and we work something out.”
Glockenspiel Restaurant has been named 2017 Business of the Year by the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to its authentic German entrees, Glockenspiel serves American food. Weeks and head chef Dillan Walker, a Kennedy High School graduate, work on creating new dishes.
The restaurant is owned by Mary and Mike Grant, Henri and Ernie Dill, Mark and Molly Wieprecht and Tracy Buller and managed by Kelsi Weeks. When they opened the restaurant in 2007 they hoped to create a gathering place and wasted no time digging into the community. The German-Bavarian-American restaurant has become a favorite spot for locals and a destination for out-of-towners. Set in the middle of town, it celebrates Mount Angel’s German heritage and is named for its 49-foot Old World glockenspiel tower, itself a work of art.
“We try to find a good balance,” Weeks said. “We try to revise the menu every 6-12 months and when we put out a new German dish we put it on special and see how people react to it.” Weeks says the business community has gotten stronger in the past several years.

Building an industry
John’s Waterproofing embraces growth, legacy
By Peggy Savage
value of their home.
Back in 1974, John Lombardi and his wife Mavis pioneered the home waterproofing industry in the Pacific Northwest armed with a bucket, a brush, a chisel and a product called Xypex.
“For years, we thought the only water in crawl spaces was in homes that were for sale on the real estate market. That’s a joke, but the reason is because those were the only problems people saw, because the only time they’d go in their crawl spaces was when their homes were being inspected for a sale.”
“Our first job was a leaking basement in Seattle,” Lombardi said. “We went out and filled the cracks.” The couple named the business John’s Waterproofing Company, and when they moved the operation to Silverton in 1981, they worked out of their home and garage on Bartlett Street.
John and Mavis Lombardi started John’s Waterproofing Company in 1974. SUBMITTED
“It was still just Mavis and me, but I got help from one or two employees as needed,” Lombardi said. “When we started the company, there wasn’t really an industry yet; we were just learning how to solve water issues in basements.” Today, John’s Waterproofing located on Airport Road in Silverton employs nearly 85 people and covers a service area that stretches from Bend to the Pacific coast and from Eugene to Longview, Washington. Lombardi oversees daily operations assisted by General Manager Robin Ekloff and a team working in operations, customer service, production, sales, marketing, accounting, system design and service departments. With more than 40 years in the business, Lombardi has taught and helped create an industry. His award-winning company has expanded to include basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and foundation repairs, and is considered a leader in the industry. He said he has surrounded himself with people as dedicated as he is, keeping the company on the cutting edge of basement and crawlspace science.

As the business expanded, Lombardi moved its base of operations in 2004 from its second location in an old gas station at High and Water streets to the building on Airport Road now known as Building 1. But the business kept growing exponentially. Increasing employees and service vehicles required more space. The biggest change took place in 2012 with the first remodel of Building 1, where the main office is now located. “We doubled in size within two years,” he said. “We needed to utilize the entire building as our office and warehouse. And then in 2014, we got too big again.” The company purchased Building 2, now the mechanic shop and warehouse. Ekloff said the main reason for the burgeoning growth has been the company’s continuing education program. “We built the market, and the big part of that came from educating the consumer about the problems of mold growing in crawl spaces. We made people aware of good solutions to those problems for their own health and for the

“There is a crew of three people to each service truck going out,” Lombardi said. “We’ve got 10 crews out right now, all over Oregon and Washington. It’s a mad scramble getting them all out to somewhere in the state or beyond, and it changes day to day.” Sometime in late 2019 Lombardi hopes to retire. He will hand over the reins to Ekloff, who is buying the business. Ekloff has been with the company for more than 20 years. “When I started in 1997, we had five employees, and now we have around 85,” he said. “John is a great guy. He created a legacy, and my job is to carry that legacy on. We have a lot of people who live in the community. Most employees are from Silverton, Mount Angel and Woodburn. We like employing people in the community.” “What I am trying to take from John is that we are all about our employees.” “We take care of our people,” Lombardi said. “We are a team. We promote education and improvement, commit to being the best we can be. We are a close-knit group.”

Civics 101
Citizen action
How-to class presented at library
By Melissa Wagoner “The beginning of all knowledge is the ability to think critically,” Donna Cohen, creator and facilitator of adult civics workshops said. “Evaluating whether information is accurate and complete enough to make a decision is the basis for all smart decisions. And, Democracies require people to make smart decisions.” Cohen, who has a master’s degree in both education and library and information studies, has spent years examining the topics of election and campaign finance, voter rights, redistricting and the Electoral College to name just a few. “In addition, I have followed state bills and given testimony in the state legislature,” she said. “I have testified at Portland City Council, and in various advisory committee meetings on the local level. I also follow national political events and bills in Congress.” Using her years of study and experience she eventually developed a set of workshops: “Civics for Adults: Enhancing Civic Knowledge and Inspiring Political Engagement,” which she teaches around the state.
Citizen Activism: Making Change Happen Facilitated by Donna Cohen Thursday, April 5, 7 - 8:30 p.m. Silver Falls Library, 410 South Water St., Silverton www.civicthinker.net difference and enact change, according to Cohen. Understanding the nitty gritty of local, state and federal government and governing bodies may help to clarify whether it is the elected official or the government structure that needs to change. “The only possible means for us to influence government at every level is to be aware and concerned,” she said. “It’s even more important if you feel that your interests are not being represented.”
On April 5 she will bring “Citizen Activism 101” to the Silver Falls Library.
Although the class is primarily geared toward adults, Cohen welcomes younger audiences – tenth grade and up – as well. A good beginning conversation for those who will be eligible to vote in a few short years, Cohen has already begun taking her courses to high schools in the state.
“I love presenting at libraries because they are the pre-eminent civic institution in our society,” she said. “As repositories of knowledge and knowledgeable people, as welcoming and free environments, they embody the best of civic culture. I believe they have a huge role to play in educating and activating the public about civic and political issues.”
“In fact, in the 2017 Legislative Session, the state passed a law that allows those aged 16 to register to vote,” she said. “Although one can’t vote until age 18, registering at 16 will reflect the importance of voting, and will, hopefully, encourage teens to be more aware of civic issues that they might be voting on in two years as well as other social/civic/political issues they care about.”
She said the course is designed to bring to the forefront crucial information that might be lost behind headlines and in the everyday busyness of life. “Fact is, when it comes to this topic we are all dealing with an overload of factually incorrect or incomplete information,” she explained. “It is crucial that we all become skilled in spotting those tactics.” Only once fully educated is a person in a place to really make a
Our Town Life
Cohen also thinks education is a helpful way of combatting the stress that government topic can bring. “We need to understand that every rule, every law, that we live by was a decision made by people – and often by people who aren’t that different, or different at all, from you,” she explained. “People who are informed and engaged generally have a much more positive attitude than those who sit on the sidelines. And there are so many different things you can do.”

Gone fishing
Sharing an activity that can bring a lifetime of stress relief
By Melissa Wagoner Ty Boland has always been a fisherman. Taught by his grandfather on the streams and lakes surrounding Mount Hood, some of his best memories are of the time they spent together, poles in hand. “My grandfather played the father role and we spent a lot of time fishing,” he said. “Those experiences shaped me. I miss my grandfather every single day and it’s all those times in the wilderness. There was a lot of dialogue going on and a lot of teaching. I would not be the person I am today without those experiences.” An avid outdoorsman, Boland is the horticulture manager of the Oregon Garden and spends as much of his offtime as possible enjoying nature with his three children ages 10, 12 and 15. “I like being able to share the wilderness,” Boland said. “Fishing is like a survivalist thing in a way. You’re teaching them to survive – continuing those traditions and showing them how to harvest from the wilderness.” Boland’s long-time fishing buddy Courtney Fast also enjoys spending time on the water with his two sons, ages six and 10. “I think any time you can spend with your children it just enriches it,” he said. Also a lifelong fisherman, Fast picked up the hobby from family friends who showed him the ropes. “It was always something I did. It was just my thing,” he said. As well as fishing with his children Fast also fishes with his father-in-law, who taught him the art of fly fishing. “It’s pretty magical,” Fast said. Both Fast and Boland agree that fishing is more about communing with nature than it is about actually harvesting fish, but that the two do go hand in hand. “Catching fish is obviously the goal,” Boland laughed, “it’s a predator-prey type of thing. You’re hypersensitive to your surroundings; you’re trying to learn from them, you’re focused in. When you’re engaged in the sporting part your brain is dialed in.”

That level of concentration, Boland said, is what makes fishing such a great escape from the tensions of everyday life. “There are a lot of things that people do to relax in their off-time but when you’re fishing and you’re really tuned in and being part of the environment you don’t think about anything else. It’s ethereal,” Fast explained. Fast and Boland agree that hobbies like fishing are important in today’s techheavy environment. “You’re always just plugged in,” Boland explained. But Fast, who utilizes YouTube videos to learn new methods of casting and who keeps up on fish runs via several fishing websites, suggested the internet can be a great way for beginning fishers to find resources about getting started. George Larson, mid-valley chapter president of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders (ANWS) agrees. “There are numerous fishing groups in central Oregon including ANWS,” he said. “Joining one of these groups is the quickest way to learn local area fishing and get involved with local clean-ups, projects, and fish-alongs. We support Oregon Department of Fish

and Wildlife (ODFW) Free Fishing and Outdoor Camp days where we help kids get a basic understanding of fishing equipment and handling of fish.”

Boland also suggests visiting a sporting goods store and asking questions. But when it comes to purchasing equipment he advised looking at used poles and tackle options before investing in new.

“This is a good time of year for garage sales,” Boland suggested. “You can get a lot of gear really cheap.” Once outfitted with the bare essentials of rod, reel and minor tackle, Boland and Fast said the rest is relatively simple. “I would start with the (Silverton) reservoir,” Boland said. “The Molalla (River) is a wonderful place – a lot of places to pull off. The Santiam (River) – you’ve got little campgrounds you can fish. The Abiqua and Butte Creek – but you have to fish above the falls.” Larson pointed out joining a fishing group is a great way to get to know advanced fishers in the area. “If you join the ANWS–Mid-Valley Chapter we provide each new member with a ‘New Member’s Guide’ that details local rivers with fishing spots located on maps, tips on baits, knot

tying, and river etiquette,” he said. “Much information is available directly from individual members – oftentimes this can develop into fishing trips with the experienced members.” No matter the route to fishing all three men agreed that it is one hobby that is not only relatively easy to pick up but which can lead to a lifetime of enjoyment and stress reduction. “Some of my most introspective moments would be fly fishing,” Boland said. “It’s just Zen. It’s pure, beautiful meditation while moving. As soon as you show up and you’re putting on your gear – boom – you’re in the moment, and you can share that with your kids too.”

Two out of three By Steve Ritchie and James Day Senior leadership. Veteran coaches. Rising stars. The Kennedy High girls basketball team had it all this season. The Trojans finished a storybook 29-1 season on March 3 with a 53-40 win against defending champion Monroe in the Class 2A tournament championship game in Pendleton. It was the second state title in three years for the program. “It feels absolutely amazing,” said co-coach Peter Hall, who shares coaching duties with his wife Kerry. “The group that’s in the locker room now is just the best group of basketball players in Kennedy history. Their resiliency is just off the charts. If they were to have lost this game, they’d be saying ‘when do we get to play again?’ They love being together and playing together. The leadership from our six seniors is out of this world.”
Kennedy girls win another state 2A title, boys take 4th
The Trojans, who took out Heppner 52-19 and Faith Bible 52-42 on the way to the title game, never trailed after the first quarter against Monroe and led by as many as 15 points. Kennedy went 3-0 against Monroe this season. Its only loss was against Dayton, which won the 3A title. Senior Kaylin Cantu scored 12 points against Monroe, while sophomore post Sophia Carley added 11 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. But the list of contributors on this squad was long. Junior Kalyssa Kleinschmit added nine points and six rebounds. Senior Hannah Arritola scored seven points and nine rebounds. Senior Kaylee Brown came off the bench to sink a pair of 3-pointers. And everyone shot well at the line, a must in high-pressure tournament games. Carley was 5 for 5, Kleinschmit was 2-2, Cantu was 4 for 5 and Arritola was 3 for 4. The Trojans were 14 for 17 at the line.

“This is so awesome getting to do it again and working so hard since our freshman year,” said senior point guard Molly Jaeger. “We just played our game.” Which started with defense. Kennedy led all entrants in scoring defense, field goal
percentage defense and 3-point percentage defense. The Trojans limited opponents to 33.7 points per game while averaging 52.3. Individually, Carley finished eighth in scoring (37 points, an 11.3 average), second in rebounding (28), and first in
Foxes 3rd, 4th at state tournament
A combined 26-2 record in MidWillamette Conference play. Two trophies at the Class 5A state tournament. No state titles, yes, but somehow you get the sense that they will be talking about this year’s Silverton hoops season for a long time. Unless, of course, next year turns out even better. The Foxes girls squad took third at state, with the boys finishing fourth. And the Silverton rooters blew away the competition at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, bringing more people and making more noise virtually every time the Foxes played. The Silverton girls, who have finished sixth, first, second and third in the past four years, opened with a 40-37 win against Springfield, fell to runner-up Marist Catholic 46-39 in the semifinals and rolled past Bend 47-29 in the game for third place. The Foxes are 8-4 at state in those four years. Only La Salle Prep (9-3) has a better mark. “It’s been an incredible run,” said coach Tal Wold. “I’m so proud of them. But I really wasn’t anticipating this type of year. They developed well and really took to being a team. How do you learn to trust and put it on the line?” Steady four-year starters Maggie Roth

and Brooke McCarty led the way, but the Foxes also featured rising stars such as junior Jori Paradis and sophomores Riley Traeger and Ellie Schmitz. And senior Lexy Rand came off of the injury list to give the team a spark against Marist (9 points) and Bend (6 rebounds). Roth was a unanimous pick on the alltournament team. The 5-7 dynamo averaged 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game and battled her way to the free throw line 25 times, second in the tourney. McCarty tied for the tourney lead in assists with 13. Paradis was a wonder throughout, finishing sixth in scoring (31 points) and was the best shooter in the tournament. She hit 11 of 20 shots (55 percent) and was 5 for 12 on 3-pointers (41.7 percent). Traeger was fourth in offensive rebounds with 10 and the Foxes were third in team defense, allowing just 37.3 points per game.

The boys came into the tournament ranked No. 1, riding a 17-game winning streak that included a 14-0 run in the Mid-Willamette. But they ran into an inspired, scrappy Churchill squad in the tournament opener and fell 53-51. Their reward? A 9 a.m. consolation bracket game the next morning. After a night of soul-searching the Foxes “got off the pillow” and roared past Springfield 67-35. Then, in the battle for fourth place they beat league foe South Albany for the third time, 61-50. “That was awesome,” said senior wing Cade Roth after the fourth-place game. “We were disappointed (with the

Churchill loss), but we still had something to play for.” “It was a heckuva year,” said first-year coach Jamie McCarty, who made Stayton a perennial power before taking a 10-year coaching hiatus for family and professional reasons. “We were so close to our final goal,” he said. “That first game was tough. They had to get off the pillow the next morning and be resilient. And I think they learned a great life lesson. You have to get back up. They will face a lot of other obstacles tougher than this. This will make them better men and fathers and husbands.” Cade Roth was named first team all-

offensive boards (17). Kleinschmit was 10th with 32 points (10.7 per game) and fifth in shooting (11 for 19, 57.9 percent) and Kennedy had three of the top seven foul shooters, with Kleinschmit and Cantu at 75 percent and Arritola at 72.7. Carley was a first-team all-tournament pick, while
Kleinschmit earned second team honors. Co-coach Kerry Hall noted contributions that went beyond the players and coaches. “The community support has been overwhelming,” she said. “And not just the crowd (for the title game) but the support
The Kennedy boys, meanwhile, finished fourth at Pendleton, falling to eventual champion Columbia Christian 58-45 in its opener but rallying to take down Knappa 55-50 and Grant Union 54-45. “We were a little disappointed with our effort on the first day,” said coach Karl Schmidtman, “but since then our mental toughness and team play was great.” That mental toughness was never more present than down the stretch against Grant Union when the Trojans went on a 9-2 game-clinching run, sealed by a dunk by 6-3 sophomore Emorej Lynk.
“It was defense,” Lynk said. “Just getting stops and looking up the court and finding the open man. We all did a good job of getting out and running.” Lynk, who was named first team alltournament, finished third in scoring in the boys tournament with 40 points, a 13.3 average. Lynk also had 28 rebounds (third) and led the tournament in minutes played with 96. He played every minute of the three games and two of his teammates also made the iron man list. Rocco Carley was tied for third with 80 and Luke Hall was fifth with 79. Carley tied for third in shooting at 57.9 percent (11 for 19), while Carson Hall (third at 90 percent) and Luke Hall (fifth at 76.9 percent) were among the top free throw shooters. The future looks bright for the boys with Lynk, both Halls, Carley and Nick Suing all returning. Place your ad in Marketplace 503-845-9499

People Out Loud
Just instinct
Biology student dives into heroism
Perhaps things just come naturally and easily for Krysta Catto. Graduating from Dallas High School in three years. Majoring in biology, studying to be a marine biologist. Saving the lives of little boys overtaken by giant waves in Kona. Huh? Or maybe it is just instinct. After all, Krysta, 20, was a competitive club swimmer with the Blue Dolphins in Dallas who took her first swim lessons in Milwaukee (Oregon) at six months. Probably pulled a lifeguard out of danger with the help of her little water wings but she’s modest so we might never know. But rest assured that there is an unnamed mother and seven-year-old boy somewhere thinking they came across a special young woman with a different set of wings. Krysta, a Silverton resident, was vacationing on the Big Island, Kona to be exact, in early February this year with good friends Andie Rodriguez and Jade Sigman. The rather secluded beach was packed with locals and tourists. The waves were high, and the ocean was rough. Very few swimmers were out. No lifeguards were present, and Krysta assumed it was because the beach was somewhat secluded and more “local.”
up. She took hold of his hand and told him, “Listen to me. We are close to the rocks. We have to go under the water because the waves are too big. When we go under, I will let you know so hold your breath.”
It was a beautiful spot, Kua Bay. She didn’t think twice about going for a swim. It was Hawaii, after all, and 80 degrees. It didn’t’ hurt that she felt at home in the water and is a very strong swimmer.
The boy nodded, and six times they went under six massive waves. She knew that hanging on to his arm was not going to work since the waves were strong and she was using one arm to swim the two to safety. She then grabbed him to her side, held him tight with one arm wrapped around his body, paddled like the strong, coolheaded swimmer she is. As they finally reached shallow water, the boy’s mother came screaming and crying, and thanked her numerous times. The boy, as seven-year-olds are prone to do, thanked her once and wrapped up in a blanket, quiet and shaking.
While enjoying her time alone, she heard screaming and cries for help. The bay is surrounded by lava rocks and help create a severe undertow. She could not see anyone in the water, but a bystander perched high on the rocks was pointing down at the water.
Some locals came over to her and congratulated her and told her how so many tourists don’t pay attention to or respect the ocean. They were impressed and thankful for her courage and heroism, mentioning that people are unaware of the ocean’s strength.
“I noticed a break in the waves and saw a young boy, obviously distraught and struggling. It was just instinctual. I was the closest one to him and didn’t think twice about helping him. He was very close to the rocks, and those are quite dangerous. I could tell he had basic skills to keep his head above water, go under, then come back up. But he was crying and obviously lost a lot of energy,” Catto said. She swam to the boy, even though the waves were 8-10 feet high, the ocean was rough, and the wind was picking
PEREZ 1 PEST CONTROL INC.
Catto added, “It sounds bad, but it was exhilarating. It helped me put things in perspective and my instincts just kicked in.” When asked if she thought about her own safety and going into harm’s way, she replied, “Not really. Maybe afterwards, but I was right there, closest to him, and knew I had the skills to help the little guy. I did think of my own brother, Cameron, and hope someone would do the same for him. I have to admit, after it was over, I did thank my father and mother for starting me in swim lessons at six months.”
Krysta Catto
She never did get his name, or that of the mother, who came over three more times to say thank you. The mom, as mothers do, would get upset and yell at the boy a bit, then engulf him in a massive hug. Catto laughs and says, “Never was my environment more compromised like that. It isn’t like a pool and certainly not the same as swimming laps.” What advice would she give to those who visit the beach? “Stay focused. Don’t turn your back to the ocean. Be aware of your environment and know when it is compromised.” What does a powerful swimmer who now has a new moniker, “Hero,” do after calmly saving a life? “I went to get some Poke, a great seaweed, ahi, and rice dish.” No lifeguard on duty, but of course there was a food cart. This biology student also is a server at Creekside Grill, earning money to continue her studies at Chemeketa. I say we should tip this young woman big. You might need her on your next trip “to the shore.”
