Conflict over code

Hearing continues for transitional housing rules

By Paula Mabry

Planning Commission recommendations Transitional Shelter Communities are defined as: accommodations that may consist of separate facilities in the form of sleeping pods...for use as sleeping units by one or more individuals or families... limited to persons who lack permanent shelter and cannot be placed in other low-income housing.

10) TSC shall be fenced from abutting properties with sight-obscuring fencing at least 6 ft high.

TSCs would require a city Conditional Use Permit no matter where sited.

13) TSC shall be reviewed as a Conditional Use, however, no fee shall be charged for the review.

Standards in the proposed code are: 1) Allowed on land used as a Religious Institution or Place of Worship or within Industrial, Commercial or Public zones.

2) Units may be stick-built or prefabricated, but no fabric roofs or walls, nor vehicles or manufactured dwellings. Design shall be compatible with surrounding area.

3) Maximum unit floor space 200 sq. ft.

The proposal, referred for approval to the council by the city planning commission after two sessions of public testimony in the spring, continues to generate concerns and occasional heated comments.

11) Minimum rear and side yard depth shall be 5 ft. Minimum from abutting property 20 ft.

12) Minimum structure separation 6 ft.

14) After initial approval, first periodic review shall be conducted at 6 months from occupancy. If renewal is approved it shall be conducted annually thereafter.

15) A financial security (bond, petition, cash, etc. ) provided to city to ensure the removal of improvements should renewal not be approved.

16) The person in charge shall provide local 24/7 contact information to all property owners and residents within 500 feet on an annual basis...

5) Only two TSC sites allowed in the city at any time.

17) TSC tenants must sign form on Noise, Nuisance and Review standards....

6) Length of stay limited to 18 months.

18) An operation and security plan must be submitted to the city...

8) Water, sewer, gas and generator service prohibited in individual units; may be provided in common facilities.

9) No outside storage permitted.

19) Code of Conduct for living in the TSC must be provided to residents and city...

20) Priority given to those living within or near Silverton for the past year.

Full text at: silverton.or.us/ AgendaCenter/ViewFile/ Agenda/_07022018-41 on page 56.

The council opened its hearing July 2, with more than an hour of supporters and opponents addressing the plan. It continued the matter to Aug. 6, when another hour-plus of testimony yielded warnings of “if you build it they (the homeless) will come;” admonishments that the need is already present in Silverton and should be addressed; and calls for putting the code change on the November ballot.

Both proponents and opponents have submitted dozens of petition signatures and letters in support of their positions.

4) Maximum units for each TSC site is one per 10,000 sq. ft. or 10, whichever is less.

7) Bathrooms and kitchens prohibited in units; common, permanent bathrooms must be available at all times; common kitchen may be provided.

The Silverton City Council will once again take up the hearing on a proposal to amend city codes to set standards for transitional shelter for the homeless at its Sept. 10 meeting.

Public comment is still being accepted, and may be made in person at the Sept.

10 meeting, or in writing by submitting letters to the Silverton City Council, 306 S. Water St., Silverton, 97381 or council email addresses are available on the city website: Silverton.or.us/176/City-Council.

An examination of local homelessness began as an official city endeavor in November 2017, with the establishment of a city Homelessness Task Force.

Action within the community began far earlier. During the frigid nights of December 2016 volunteers opened a “warming shelter” at Oak Street Church where they initially served 16 people.

Organization around the warming shelter eventually led to the founding of Silverton Sheltering Services, a newly formed nonprofit. Its goal is to address the local homelessness problem in “a more focused, organized way” according to Board President Brent Jacobsen.

Of the visitors to last winter’s warming shelter at Oak Street Church, 31 individuals were homeless – 25 with strong Silverton ties. Silver Falls School District identifies 70 to 90 students as homeless.

While no plan for transitional housing has been formally submitted to the city, in March the council directed staff to draft code language that would address transitional shelters.

By then the congregation of St. Edward’s Episcopal Church on Center Street was considering four, single occupant, tiny pods for homeless women from the Silverton area. The goal is private, secure, insulated sleeping cottages to get the women off the street and on their way to a more stable and sustainable situation.

In the city staff report on the issue, Police Chief Jeff Fossholm notes “transitional housing has been shown to help the homeless transition back into society on a quicker basis” and suggests small transitional housing units with “controls such as a screening process” may be the best model for Silverton.

The Sept. 10 meeting will be held at the Silverton Community Center, 421 S. Water St., beginning at 7 p.m. An agenda will be available on the city website, or at City Hall. The meeting can also be viewed live on SCAN TV. CCB #14854

City urges water conservation

Hands-on

Because most of Oregon – including Silverton – is experiencing drought conditions the city has entered voluntary water curtailment mode.

The 18th Annual Silverton Fine Arts Festival runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday in Coolidge McClaine Park.

The city’s primary water source is Abiqua Creek which city staff reports as flowing at 12.4 cubic feet per second. Silver water customers are currently using about 3.5 cfs, or 28 percent of the stream flow.

Steps the city is taking include: City park irrigation systems will be operated to achieve maximum efficiency based upon data from their on-site weather station.

Hydrant and water line flushing shall be limited to essential needs.

Silverton Reservoir will be operated in the water conservation mode.

Treated effluent water will be used to irrigate the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Residents are urged to: Voluntarily restrict lawn watering and other nonessential water uses.

Residential and business customers are encouraged to limit watering with addresses ending in even numbers watering on even numbered days; addresses ending in odd numbers watering on odd numbered days.

Art fair opens in park

Admission is free to the family friendly festival featuring over 90 artist booths under the tall trees. Medias include ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, painting, metal, photography, sculpture and wood.

Adjust irrigation systems to prevent water runoff or overspray onto streets.

The festival features hands-on art and art demonstrations for all ages. There will also be a food court and wine and beer garden, as well as musical entertainment throughout the event. Parking is free. For

Repair dripping faucets and inspect for indoor leaks beneath sinks dishwashers, and in the tub/shower.

Then from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 the winery and gallery will be open each day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ten minutes from Silverton at 9374 Sunnyview Road NE, the winery will be releasing three new wines - the 2016 Pinot Noir Blanc, 2015 Reserve Pinot Gris, and 2014 Syrah Port.

The Boy Next Door

Trail to Eagle

New Eagle reflects on scouting, academic journey

By Vince Teresi Silverton resident Jonathan Valladares reached the highest rank of scouting, earning his Eagle Scout designation, and was recognized for the accomplishment during an Eagle Scout Court of Honor, July 21 at St. Paul Catholic Church. He was presented the Eagle Scout badge by Troop 485 Scoutmaster Steve Potter, who reviewed highlights of Jonathan’s 12-year scouting career during the ceremony. Valladares began his “Trail to Eagle” as a six-year-old Cub Scout.

Jonathan is a 2018 valedictorian graduate of John F. Kennedy High School in Mount Angel and was selected as “Senior Boy of the Year.” His leadership skills were recognized by the Boy Scouts of America organization in the awarding of the Eagle Scout rank.

He amassed many Merit Badges along his way to achieving the Eagle ranking – a goal he set as a youngster. Dedication to duty eventually produced the distinguished Scout recognition.

“Being a member of the Boys Scouts of America has been one of the most important experiences of my life,” Jonathan said at the ceremony. “The organization taught me much more than the physical skills of fireburning, knot-tying, and wilderness survival. I learned perseverance, leadership, and good citizenship.”

Jonathan Valladares’ family. Back, left: Father, Edilberto; brother Joshua; Jonathan; older-brother Elisha; sister Isabel; mother Michelle. Front: Siblings, Maria, Sarah and Benjamin.

Looking back at the numerous requirements involved in attaining the needed Merit Badges, Jonathan said, “The lessons I learned while completing those requirements are ongoing, helping me to grow as a person and prepare myself for my journey through life.”

He added, “As a first-year Scout, I was extremely quiet. But as my career progressed, I was placed in new leadership roles. That forced me out of my comfort level and to challenge myself. I have called a flag ceremony in front of an entire summer camp, taught knot-tying and fire-building to kids from inner-city Oakland, California, and coordinated events that forced me to interact with complete strangers. These are all things that I never would have thought possible when I began Scouting.”

Jonathan also remembers many great times along his

“Trail to Eagle.” However, he admitted, “Many of the important things I learned in Scouting came from times when I did not enjoy myself. In order to grow, you have to challenge yourself, which is not always the most enjoyable experience. Good experiences create good memories. But the most important experiences leave behind lessons about life.

“The experiences I had in Scouting were only temporary, but the lessons I learned will stay with me forever.”

Jonathan also performed well during his years at Kennedy High where he excelled in advanced-placement courses and earned a 4.0 grade point average, Honors Diploma, and Oregon State Seal of Bi-Literacy.

At Kennedy, his favorite memories include his days playing on the varsity baseball team. His skill as a firstbaseman resulted in First Team All-League honors, and he enjoyed the opportunity of playing in the state

semifinal game. As a pitcher, Jonathan remembers the excitement of “throwing a complete game, 14-strikeout shutout against Scio!”

He was surprised on Kennedy High’s Senior Awards Night.

“I really hadn’t come into the Awards Night expecting to receive anything. So, I was really surprised when I ended up receiving several department academic awards and community scholarships…plus the Senior Boy of Year award,” he said.

He may have been surprised, the audience wasn’t. His signature virtue of humility was well-recognized by fellow students, coaches and staff at Kennedy High.

This fall, Jonathan plans to attend Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, where he will join his older brother Elisha.

Passages

Sam Linn Nov. 12, 1946 -Aug. 1, 2018 Samuel Anthony Linn was born in Woodburn on Nov..12, 1946 and passed away in Silverton on Aug. 1, 2018.

The fourth of five children born to Floyd Linn and Verna (Berg) Linn, who moved to the Willamette Valley from North Dakota shortly after World War II, Sam grew up on his family’s farm and spent his youth hunting, fishing and helping out on neighboring farms.

He attended primary school in Monitor and went to high school in Silverton.

While in high school, Sam met Sonya (Paulson) Linn, whom he married in 1969.

Sam and Sonya welcomed two children, Chris and Wendy, in the early 1970s and raised them together in Silverton, where both still reside with their families. He worked for many years as a machinist in Woodburn, served as a church elder at the First Christian Church, and after retirement filled his days volunteering and helping others.

Sam was defined by many interests, passions, and accomplishments -- far too many to be adequately summarized here.

Nonetheless, some bear special mention: Sam loved his cars, including the ‘67 Mustang he would race at the Woodburn dragstrip, the Triumph GT-6 whose wheel had the habit of falling off at inopportune times, the roadster he built from the frame up, and the ‘75 Porsche 914 he drove around town in recent years.

Sam had an intuitive understanding of the way things worked and a unique ability to design and build what others might only imagine. In his work as a machinist at Bird’s Eye he was often involved in the design of new tools and new machines which improved on what was previously available. These contributions garnered him praise, respect and a federal patent.

A lifelong outdoorsman, those who knew him were often regaled with tales of racoon hunting in the Butte Creek bottomlands, hiking in the foothills and the high Cascades, cross-country skiing with the Oregon Nordic Club, climbing at Horsethief Butte or up to the top of Mt. Hood, navigating the San Juans in his handmade sailboat, or swimming in any of a number of backcountry lakes.

Sam was an fan and supporter of soccer for decades and was instrumental in developing youth soccer in Silverton. He coaching his son’s youth teams, his daughter’s youth teams, and the Silverton High School

JV girls team. In more recent years, he continued to cheer loudly from the sidelines, whether at a grandchild’s game, a high school game, or a Timbers game.

Above all, Sam absolutely loved people.

His greatest joy came from spending time with others. Filled with a kind heart and a humble spirit, he was always ready to extend a helping hand, a kind word, an off-color anecdote, a rambling tale, or an open ear to whomever he met. And this will be his greatest legacy -- as an outgoing soul, an engaging character, and a loyal friend.

He is survived by Sonya Linn, his wife for many years; son Chris Linn and daughter Wendy (Gary) King; grandchildren Ezekiel Linn, Maximilian Linn, Paige King, Giselle Linn, Sidney King; as well as brothers Ron Linn, Rick Linn, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Edith Kapka

June 30, 1913 – July 28, 2018

Edith Kapka, age 105, of Mount Angel, died peacefully of natural causes on July 28 with her family by her side. Her husband John, to whom she was married for 44 years, preceded her in death, as did three of her 10 children, daughter Georgette Marie, and sons Ladis Joseph and Emeric William.

Edith was born to Antonia Majer and Lajos Vértes, M.D. on June 30, 1913, in Budapest, Hungary. Educated in Budapest and Antwerp, Belgium, Edith had an inquisitive scholarly mind and was an avid reader, especially of books about history and science. She was fluent in five languages: Hungarian, French, German, Flemish and English. Upon graduating from the gymnasium, Edith took classes in child development at a college in Antwerp.

This led to employment as a governess to three children of a Belgian family.

During one of her Christmas visits home in Budapest, Edith met her future husband, John Kapka, at the party of a mutual friend. They immediately hit it off, and became engaged soon after.

John and Edith married on June 20, 1938 at St. Emeric’s Catholic Church in Kelenföld, Budapest. Edith gave birth to their first child, Edith, in 1939, and four children followed in the next five years, Georgette, Mary, John and Alice.

As for many, the war years were

503-874-4888

difficult for John and Edith. The Soviet occupation of Budapest after World War II was instrumental in their decision to relocate, and with their five children and Edith’s mother, the couple left Hungary for Belgium. In the two years they lived there, Edith gave birth to their sixth child, Steven. Fearing the spread of Stalin’s power, John and Edith said goodbye to Europe, and found passage on a Liberty Ship bound for New York.

They arrived in early November 1947, and later in the month, their seventh child, Margaret, was born.

In 1967 John and Edith became American citizens – a proud and happy event in their lives.

After two years in New York, John was offered a position in Cleveland, Ohio, where the family moved in 1949, and where another daughter, Elizabeth, was born. Four years later, John and Edith bought a home that would accommodate the family in rural northeastern Ohio.

Two more sons were born in Ohio, Emeric and Ladis.

Edith was a gifted storyteller, drawing on her long and richly textured life.

Her experiences living in Budapest during World War II became the basis for a book of fiction entitled Roots and Branches, coauthored with her daughter Marga. On Edith’s 104th birthday, she was presented with a special edition of the book by her granddaughter Ruby, who created the cover design.

Edith busied herself with running the household while John worked to provide for the large family.

John suddenly passed away in 1982 while he and Edith lived in Willow Springs, Missouri.

After moving around the West Coast to be closer to her children and grandchildren, Edith settled into Orchard House in Mount Angel in November 2012. The family that John and Edith started has grown to include 23 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

A mass was held in Edith’s honor on Aug. 11 in the chapel of Orchard House.

His family endured much hardship through the Depression years, and the early deaths of both of his sisters at age five and 21.

He joined the Civilian Conservation Corps at age 16, working in rural Eastern Oregon repairing and building fences, sending his earnings home to help support his family. At age 17, he enlisted in the peacetime U.S. Navy. He served for a year and a day before World War II began. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor on the U.S.S. Bagley when the Japanese attacked on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941.

He served almost five years fighting in the South Pacific, including Savo Island.

He was awarded the Purple Heart for his wounds while serving to defend his country.

After the war, he met his bride-to-be,

an acre of land and raised their six daughters and one son on the property.

Bill was a devoted husband and father, and a beloved friend of many in the community.

He served the St. Mary’s Parish in many capacities: ushering, bringing communion to the sick and home-bound, and sitting with the dying at the Benedictine nursing home. He spent countless hours at Mount Angel Abbey, walking up the hill before dawn almost every day for morning prayer.

He loved woodworking and restoration, cabinet making, gardening, bee-keeping, growing dahlias and all aspects of maintaining his home and caring for his acre. He also loved classical music and opera.

Bill was a member of the American Legion, marching in numerous Mount Angel Memorial and Independence Day parades, and speaking to many groups about his war experience as a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was especially proud of the service of his son Michael in the

U.S. Marine Corps, as well as the service of his great-granddaughter Erika Meyers in the U.S. Navy. He always welcomed visitors into his home with the greeting “Welcome to the U.S.S. Neversail!”...

He is survived by Patricia, his wife of 69 years; his daughters Mary Elizabeth; Theresa Marie and husband Roger Smedstad; Dorothy Mercedes; Margaret Mary and husband Mike Plumb; Rose Virginia; Kathryn Marie and husband Mike Honan; and son, Michael John and wife Tiffany; as well as 18 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and three greatgreat grandchildren.

Bill was 95 years old. A favorite prayer was read by his family at his bedside: “O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and busy world lies hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.”

A funeral was held Aug 10. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Mount Angel.

Family Matters

DNA detectives

After 53 years Dave Laycock meets his birth family

By Nancy Jennings As owner of Renaissance Carpentry in Silverton, Dave Laycock’s business

thrives on building additions, remodels and restorations. Earlier this year, the Silverton resident found himself “adding on” new family members in his personal life. Adopted as an infant, Dave, 53, located and met his biological relatives.

Adopted by Don and Edel Laycock, the family moved to Silverton in 1974 from Southern California, when Dave was nine. Along with an older brother, he enjoyed an idyllic childhood playing often in Silver Creek. But like other adoptees, he was always curious about his birthparents. Did he look like them?

Were they reserved or outgoing? Tall or short?

“There have always been those lingering questions in your mind. You dream that cheerleaders and quarterbacks are your parents. Most likely that’s not the case,” he said.

Left: Dave Laycock with his birth mother Loretta Meier. Right: Dave with his adopted father Don Laycock and biological niece Annie Porter.

“My drive to do this was to tell my biological mother ‘thank you.’ I knew in my heart this woman was forced into a difficult decision at a young age that she would have to live with forever. I didn’t care if there was a relationship formed beyond that. It was just something I had to do,” he explained.

He first thought it may have been too late to locate his birth parents, given their advanced age at the time he started the search.

the Band-Aids on and pulled them off. She raised me.

That’s such a noble act,” he said.

With the help of the internet and two different DNAmatching companies, he began a “mutual-consent search.”

His adoptive mother, Edel, passed in 1998. He said she would have been thrilled to know he discovered and met his biological relatives. He is quick to point out his devotion to the mother who nurtured and brought him up as her own.

While Dave’s father, Don, always supported his wish to connect with his birth family, he insisted that the reaching out be done correctly. The piece of advice he emphasized the most was not to disrupt another family – and perhaps open up old wounds. “You don’t want to just show up at someone’s door and say ‘Hey, I’m here and I demand to be in your life.’”

“Both the parents or siblings could contact me if they

traveled to Lake Havasu, a border city between California and Arizona, and met Loretta Meier – his birth mother.

His father, Don, sent Loretta a gift with an attached card in honor of the occasion. Due to health concerns, he couldn’t travel.

“I don’t know what was written in the card, but my sister told me it got the tears rolling,” Dave said.

Loretta was finally able to tell her son face to face her reason for making that life-altering decision.

“She realized she couldn’t raise five kids, so she put me up for adoption,” he said.

“She said she can now die in peace. Countless times she had cried herself to sleep wondering what had become of me. She always worried and was curious – and never thought I’d show up. When I was born, the hospital told her she had to give me a name for the birth certificate. She chose to name me ‘David,’ which meant ‘beloved son.’ This was her way of leaving me a message saying she loved me.”

Ironically, the Laycock’s picked the same name.

“Coincidentally, Loretta had remarried a couple of years after putting me up for adoption. She gave birth to another son and named him David, after me.” The younger “David” was overjoyed to find out he had an older namesake brother to get to know after being raised with four older sisters.

“I found my niece, Annie, in January this year.” She was a match on the same “mutual-consent” option of the DNA-matching company. While on the phone with her, after answering question after question, he decided to snap a selfie and hit Send.

“The general comment throughout the family was: ‘What the heck? He looks more like Mom than all of us!’” he laughed. That got the ball rolling…

Later that day, as he was picking up his tools and ready to head home, his phone rang. It was his sister, Denise.

“So, I thought ‘OK, I’m going to have a seat here and have a little cry.’”

Once at home and after a marathon phone conversation, Dave found out he had three sisters and a brother. One sister had passed away.

“We flew down to Las Vegas for the March 1 family reunion. We met 18 people there – sisters, husbands, nieces and nephews.”

He credits his wife of 23 years with helping him navigate the emotional roller-coaster of meeting his long-lost relatives.

“She’s been spectacular. I can’t thank her enough for the support and encouragement. She went through all the anxiety along with me. She was a pillar.”

His niece, Annie Porter, 37, visited him in Silverton during the recent July 4 holiday – driving all the way from Barstow, California.

“It’s a new chapter to an old story,” she said about their finding each other and catching up. “It was surreal. I’ve known about him since I was five or six.”

Dave views the future with new family ties realistically – with no expectations.

“It’s like any relationship with any friend. It’s going to take two people to grow it. If they want to proceed, sure, I’m still game,” he said. “All I know is that I need to buy much more Christmas cards this year than I did last year,” he laughed.

Festhalle mural to be dedicated Aug. 28 Mount Angel Community Foundation invites the public to the unveiling of a new mural to grace the front of Mount Angel Festhalle Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 4 p.m.

The mural is the crowning glory to Festhalle’s exterior. It was made possible in part by a $10,000 grant from Roth Family Foundation, Painted by Silverton artist David McDonald, its design encapsulates Mount Angel’s charm and character, from Abbey Hill to Oktoberfest.

Father Philip Waibel will dedicate the mural.

Refreshments will be served.

Michael Roth of Roth Family Foundation said this is just the kind of thing his father Orville Roth would want to get behind.

“The Oktoberfest was truly one of the highlights of the year for Orville,” Roth said. “He thoroughly enjoyed every minute that he was walking the grounds, dancing or listening to the bands.”

Something for the Soul

A new call

Former St. Paul’s priest becomes U.S. Navy chaplain

By Elisha Valladares-Cormier Parishioners walking into St. Paul Catholic Church in Silverton are greeted by a plaque recognizing the life and service of former St. Paul pastor Fr. Richard E. Carberry. Carberry was pastor from 1938-1940 before serving as a U. S. Army chaplain from 1940, just before the country entered World War II, until his death as a prisoner of war in 1945.

Now, more than 75 years after Fr. Carberry ministered to the Army’s faithful, another St. Paul’s priest is following his own call to military chaplaincy.

Benedictine Fr. Basil Lawrence, a priest of Mount Angel Abbey, is becoming a Navy chaplain and will head to his first round of Navy training in September.

Fr. Basil, 34, served at St. Paul’s from summer 2015 until this July – the first year as parochial vicar and the following two as parish administrator – and returned to the Abbey beginning July 1.

After spending time as a seminarian for the Diocese of Las Vegas, Fr. Basil

discerned into the Benedictine monastery in 2004, making simple vows in 2008 and solemn vows in 2011. He was ordained a priest by Archbishop Alexander Sample in 2014. He served in numerous capacities at the Abbey, including being the abbot’s secretary and assistant vocation director.

In 2015, Fr. Basil began his assignment at St. Paul’s. For a decade, the parish had been working on building a narthex, but was slowed due to a lack of funding. Fr. Basil helped bring the project to fruition and completion. He also sparked liturgical renewal within the parish, bringing it closer to the vision of the Church. He said he also worked to bring the parish’s different ethnic communities together.

“It was a good fit for me,” Fr. Basil said. “I really enjoyed it. It was a lot of learning – administrative learning, personal learning, learning how to shepherd.”

Closing in on three years at St. Paul’s, Fr. Basil began thinking about his next step: would he stay or would his superior ask him to return to Mount Angel Abbey?

There was a third option. In spring 2017, Fr. Basil began considering the possibility of becoming a military chaplain after the topic came up with a friend. He learned more about what the job entailed, speaking with others who had been affected by military chaplains, and started to think about it seriously.

The Archdiocese for Military Services cares for more than 1.8 million Catholics, according to its website. Fr. Basil began to realize that Catholics in the military and their families are especially in need of someone to care for their spiritual needs.

“The struggles of life are, in a sense, amplified in the military,” Fr. Basil said.

“Marriage issues, especially couples where one or both of them are facing deployments. Deployment can be 6-9 months – that’s a long time to be away from each other, or from your children.

Issues regarding substance abuse and suicide rates in the military are going up astronomically every year.

“All of these are important things for

a priest to be a part of, and obviously celebrating Mass, baptizing children, witnessing marriages, hearing confessions, anointing the sick, all the important sacramental roles that a priest can play in the life of military personnel. These are men and women who need it the most and often don’t have access to it because there aren’t enough priests.”

He was finally convinced by a video he watched of Military Services Archbishop Timothy Broglio speaking to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops about the need for priests in his archdiocese. The archbishop made two specific points that hit home.

The first was that all the men and women serving come from dioceses and that if each bishop sent at least one priest to serve their people in the military, the military archdiocese would be in great shape.

Secondly, the Archbishop warned that the Navy was so shorthanded on priests, it seemed likely that not every outgoing aircraft carrier group has a priest.

“An aircraft carrier has 5,000-6,000 personnel,” Fr. Basil said. “You add up all the ships in the group, there could be 7,000 people in a group of ships that for 6-9 months is not going to have a priest.

That’s crazy.”

He spoke with his superior, Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, in the fall of 2017 about the idea and was given permission to pursue military chaplaincy.

As it happened, one of the couples Fr. Basil was preparing for marriage included a Navy recruiter who put him in contact with the appropriate authorities and he began the application process.

One of the first parts of the process included a physical exam in Portland where Fr. Basil had to show that he could meet the physical demands of being in the U.S. Navy.

“I was 34 years old, I’m there with 17-19 year old kids, practically,” he said. “I felt like an old man, but I was pleased with myself. At the end of the day, the old man could keep up with the kids.”

While completing his application at the Pentagon in April, Fr. Basil also had to complete a parallel track for the military archdiocese, which included an interview with Archbishop Broglio.

“All the priests of the military archdiocese has are on loan from somewhere,” said Fr. Basil. “Strictly speaking, they don’t have their own priests. Archbishop Broglio vets and interviews his candidates before accepting them.”

Throughout the entire process, Fr. Basil was hard-pressed to keep the potential chaplaincy under wraps. His community learned of his pursuit last December, but he and Abbot Jeremy kept it quiet until he had been accepted.

He was accepted by Archbishop Broglio in February and was accepted by the Navy at the end of April, at which point he began informing his parishioners.

Since leaving St. Paul’s, Fr. Basil has continued to prepare for the next steps before his first assignment. On Sept. 16, he reports to Newport, Rhode Island, for

five weeks of Officer Development School.

Chaplains are military officers, which makes this a required course.

He then heads to Fort Jackson in South Carolina for seven weeks of chaplain school, finishing in December before being shipped out to his first assignment – in Sasebo, Japan.

“I’m picking up a few Japanese tapes as well as history and cultural books to try and get a head start there,” he said with a laugh.

In addition, Fr. Basil is preparing for the pastoral approach he will take to the Navy.

“I know what it means to be a Catholic priest. I have no idea what it means to be in the military,” he said.

“There’s going to be a lot of openness and willingness on my part to learn and be flexible, to adapt, to inculcate within myself and how I operate, as a priest in the military, in a sense their values and their structure.”

THANK YOU!!

The Silverton High School Alumni Association held a Silent Auction at their Annual Fundraiser for alumni and friends on August 3, 2018.

The SHSAA Fundraiser was held at the Festhalle in Mt. Angel. The SHSAA Board of Trustees sends a tremendous “thank you” for allowing us to hold our Fundraiser at their facility.

SHSAA had nearly 60 donors with more than 120 items for Auction bidding. In addition to items donated for the Silent Auction, many in-kind and cash contributions were received. As a result of the tremendous support from the greater Silverton business and academic community, the Silent Auction raised over $3,090 to help support the Scholarship Program for the graduating seniors of SHS. Additional cash donations in lieu of items donated for the auction totaled $734.

We also received cash donations from many alumni to represent their class graduation year. Congratulations to the Class of 1960 for collecting the most money and winning the Class Challenge. For their generous donations, a $1,500 scholarship will be awarded to one graduate of the Class of 2019 from the Class of 1960.

Our 50/50 and drawing totaled $565 and awarded half to ticket-holder Eddie Egan.

Eddie received a round of applause as he donated most of the money back to the Alumni Association. The SHSAA desires to provide special recognition and a heartfelt thanks to the following persons and businesses that unselfishly contributed to the outstanding fundraising effort:

The Forum

Rethink Eugene Field On Aug. 6 the Silverton City Council voted to spend over $700,000 of our taxpayer dollars to demolish the historic Eugene Field School to make way for a new City Hall with no plan how to pay for a new building. Here are my three minutes of comments to the council prior to their vote, and if you believe this is a mistake please let the council know before the bulldozers show up. By then it will be too late!

Good evening Mr. Mayor and Council Members. I am Stu Rasmussen, 417 N. Water St. and I am here to speak regarding the construction of a new Police Facility.

First and foremost I wish to make it clear that I personally believe your insistence on the immediate demolition of the Eugene Field School building is a travesty for our community. This building is a signature asset of Silverton with deep historical roots.

This year you budgeted $746,386 for demolition of the building - which is almost one-third of the entire $2.5 million in property tax collected from Silverton residents. Essentially short-changing us on our streets, sewers, water supply, public parks - you know the list!

Most of us private citizens would have a hard time with that but of course you have other pockets to pick – so we taxpayers will also be paying for this debacle through our Sewer Rates, our Water rates and of course that wonderful slush fund of Urban Renewal.

In addition, I am unaware of ANY funding mechanism in place to pay for the proposed future construction of a new Police Facility. That’s usually a bond issue

Stu Rasmussen voted on by the community, as Salem just did. Where is your proposal for a bond election so that we who will be paying for it can have a say in it?

With no money to move forward with the police facility it is foolhardy to demolish a potentially useful building. There are many more uses in the short term for a weathertight building than there are for a chunk of bare ground.

How about incubator spaces for new businesses?

Meeting spaces for community groups?

Senior housing?

Or – just a thought with the current other turmoil you are mishandling – housing for a small group of homeless women? Everything in one place, safe and secure temporary housing – even plumbing, already installed! And located in a commercial zone with no significant residential impact. A perfect spot for a pilot housing program to see how it could work out.

Yes, I know this would be tough – it would require intelligence and imagination – and a desire to do what’s right for Silverton taxpayers.

I am asking that you table the contract award in Consent Agenda Item 7.2 until such time as there is money in hand to proceed with construction.

That would be the prudent course.

Foxes, Trojans dive into fall camps

Silverton football was 7-4 last season in its first year under coach Josh Craig, advancing to the state quarterfinals before falling to No. 1 Mountain View in a 46-42 shootout in Bend.

This year the Foxes are in a reconfigured league, looking to fill huge holes at wide receiver and will try to shore up a defense that was too prone to high-scoring affairs like the Mountain View game.

“I’m excited. I feel really lucky to be here,” Craig told Our Town after a recent workout. “Our numbers are where we want them to be. Our guys are bouncing around and enthusiastic. ‘Don’t be too cool to hustle’ is what (predecessor John) Mannion used to say. And I stole it.”

Craig has a veteran quarterback, senior Levi Nielsen, who began starting midway through his freshman season.

“He did a lot of offseason work,” Craig said, “working on getting a quicker release. He’s still athletic as ever.”

The Foxes lost two other great athletes, wide receivers Spencer Clements and Colton Meyer, who combined for 109 catches for 1,551 yards and 14 touchdowns last season.

Craig has moved the versatile Grant Buchheit from running back to receiver, has speedy Isaac Magana available and also is looking to Casey Brooks, a transfer from Molalla to be part of the mix.

Craig said that the experience of Nielsen should help the receiving corps develop.

Last season Silverton scored 35 points against Central, 37 against Corvallis and 42 against Mountain View. And lost all three games.

“That’s not the way we want to do it,” said Craig, who second-guessed himself a bit for rushing into defensive scheme work last season and not paying enough attention to the fundamentals.

“If you can’t get off a block or cover a guy you’re not going to play good defense,” Craig said. “We’re not overlooking the

small things this year. You have to do those things right. On defense you just have to.”

The Foxes will play in a new 10-team league this season, Class 5A - Special District 3. Woodburn left the old MidWillamette Conference, and North Salem, McKay and West Albany have joined Central, Corvallis, Crescent Valley, Dallas, Lebanon and South Albany.

District members will play nine league games, which means no nonconference matchups.

“That’s different, but in a good way,” Craig said. “We’ve got to be conference ready by Aug. 31.”

The Foxes host Central at McGinnis Field at 7 p.m. on opening night. They will participate in a jamboree Aug. 24 at Southridge in Beaverton.

Kennedy, meanwhile, is coming off a 4-7 season, but that record is deceptive.

The Trojans traditionally play up against Class 3A competition in the nonleague season and two of the losses were to Class 2A champion Monroe/Triangle

Lake. Kennedy gave the Dragons all they could handle before falling 41-35 in the quarterfinals.

linebacker Rocco Carley, running back/ defensive lineman Bryce Vandervort and Anthony Barboza.

“We are very excited about this upcoming season,” fifth-year head coach Joe Panuke told Our Town. “The guys have been working hard at camp and have set high goals for the season.”

Sophomore quarterback Dylan Kleinschmit and junior running back Emorej Lynk are expected to play key roles on offense. Other underclasmen primed to contribute include Cole Boen, Brady Traeger, Cameron Biegel, David Reyes, Bruce Beyer, Isaiah Basargin, and Ruben Ramirez.

The Trojans return eight starters on offense and defense and Panuke said his senior class “will be a key for us,” noting players such as lineman Nick Suing, wide receiver/defensive backs Brandon Salazar and Angel De La Rosa, tight end/

Homer runs: The annual Homer’s Classic runs attracted nearly 80 participants on Aug. 5, with athletes dealing with modest temperatures in the mid-70s.

Haile Stuzman ran first place at the Homer Classic FILE PHOTO

Special District 2, with only Santiam moving with them from the Tri-River Conference. Also in the league are Chemawa, Colton, Culver, Gervais and Sheridan. Kennedy still will play longtime rival Regis, but the Sept. 14 game in Mount Angel will be a non-league affair.

“It will definitely take a while to get used to the new league,” said Panuke, who is in his 11th year overall with the program.

“There were some good league rivalry games in the old Tri-River. I am looking forward to meeting the coaches from the new teams in the league.”

Silverton High incoming senior Haile Stutzman won the 8-kilometer covered bridge run in 27:15.7, well ahead of runner-up – and former Foxes teammate – Wolfgang Seifer, who ran 29:45.0. Longtime Homer participant Deanna O’Neil of Canby took fifth overall and was the top woman finisher in 32:09.1. Sixth was former Kennedy standout Kaylin Cantu, who is returning to action after missing her senior track season with injuries. Cantu ran 33:30.2, 0.3 seconds ahead of Alejandra Lopez, her running mate with the Trojans for the past three years.

Former Foxes runner Hosea Catterall won the 2-mile in 12:10.9, more than 30 seconds ahead of runner-up Tom O’Neil of Canby. Tina Brundridge of Scotts Mills was third overall in 15:21.9 and was the first female finisher.

The races raised $1,000 apiece for the cross country programs at Silverton and Kennedy. The funds are used to buy shoes for low-income students and allow the teams to travel to meets and running camps.

People Out Loud

Two originals

One fateful day took Jean Hadley, Sam Linn

It is more enjoyable to write about people in a positive way, laughing with them at the funny things they do, touching family events, and the moments in their lives that pull at the heartstrings of others.

But when we lose them, it hurts at first, until we have the time to reflect on their lives, learn about them through family members and friends who knew them best, and hear intimate stories that touch us.

Aug. 1 was a tough day. Sam Linn and Jean Hadley, both 71, passed away within hours of each other, on an otherwise ordinary day, just living their lives. Sam was at the Wednesday Community Dinner regaling his regular dining companions with his wit, humor, charm, and ability to spin tales in a goofy Norman-Rockwell sort of way. Jean was at the beauty parlor.

Jean was a very sweet woman who gave her time, love, and commitment to her family, her town, Silver Crest School, civic clubs, and her life partner and husband of 45 years, Dennis. A friend said she was the type of person who lived the mantra, “If you

can’t say something nice about someone, say nothing at all.” She sang in the Silvertones.

She was a sorority “sister” for decades. Each time I visited with them at their “usual” table at 3 Ten Water restaurant, she was demure while Dennis would talk about things of many natures – politics, sports, farming, family, and what the kids were up to. When she spoke, it was brief, deep, and a perfect complement to the conversation.

To the Hadley family, best wishes – keep the sweet memories of this lovely mother, wife, grandmother, friend, and community servant with you always.

Sam. What can you say about Sam? I first met him perhaps 50 years ago. He was an absolute character. In the dictionary,

if you look up the words, “outgoing”, “charming”, and “witty”, it should also say, “See Sam Linn.” He was a fixture at the Live Local Marketplace and Café, where he and his compadres solved the world’s most complexing issues drinking coffee and fancying themselves as the “Book Club.”

He loved his bright green Porsche 914, soccer, and had a breadth and depth to him that was not always obvious except to those who knew him best. It was very fitting that Stu Rasmussen honored him on the Palace marquee. “Farewell, Sam”. One of kind.

And a segue, perhaps, from my comments regarding people and their lives. I am beginning to hate Facebook, with serious consideration given to jettisoning it for awhile or eternity. I could go either way. There are so many bizarre, cruel, thoughtless, and mindless things posted it is becoming painful. Heaven forbid that you post a comment that puts either political party in a less-than favorable light.

The jackals come out with teeth bared.

Bad experience at a restaurant? Just torch them on Facebook. This just in! “My

fork remained upright in the sticky rice.

Terrible.” My fork remained upright in my carrots at the same restaurant. Isn’t sticky rice, by its nature, likely to hold a utensil?

It does have benefits – connecting with friends, especially old friends who you WANT to talk with, seeing cute baby pictures (Manna from Heaven for me), and adding your name to the dinner chain when someone you know and love passes on or a prayer chain when a child becomes seriously ill. Setting up events. Selling something.

But it has so many pitfalls. People hide behind the “mask” they think it provides.

Families void of dinnertime conversation because everyone is texting. “Fake news” becomes a “fact” for the lazy and gullible.

Let’s see how many “likes” I can garner by posting my political leanings on a page of like-minded people. It is getting weary.

It’s been said that you should not write (or post) anything your grandma would not like. I am so glad my grandma isn’t around to see this diatribe and the lack of modesty, discretion, and graciousness.
