Silverton FFA shares ‘Ag’ lessons with youngsters

“It was my favorite part of the year because I got to see all the animals,” she smiled.

Kato – although only in her second year

“Our whole class is the committee,” she explained. “I’ve learned that for something that seems pretty easy, there’s a lot of planning that goes into it.”

Despite the rain, this year’s Food for America took place on Oct. 5 with an estimated 400 to 600 elementary-aged students in attendance. Stations ranged from fun – a hay maze, art projects and an egg race – to the more practical – lessons in animal care, tractor safety and common agricultural materials.

The next step

Silverton Grange experiments with new training program

By Brenna Wiegand

Nonviolent Communication

The local grange as a farmers’ organization has gone the way of the buggy whip and communities across the country are scrambling to find ways to keep local precincts alive while upholding its original tenets of supporting community, agriculture and education.

The Grange offers a free introduction to Nonviolent Communication, a series facilitated by Tim Buckley of Salem. If there is enough interest the Grange will host his 12-week course based on Marshall B. Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life.

Silverton Grange Hall No. 748, founded in 1932, is no exception, and a core group of passionate people have been hammering out a plan to preserve their post and the building in which it is housed while honoring its agrarian roots.

The event is Saturday, Oct. 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Silverton Grange #748, 201 Division St., Silverton.

For more information, visit the Grange’s facebook page at Silverton Grange #748 or its website www.silvertongrange.org or call Gail Smith at 503-873-3128.

Though towns and cities are not centered around the agricultural community to the degree they were in days of yore, at its heart the grange hall remains a place where families band together to improve the place where they live.

“We were meeting in September and doing a revisioning for the Grange about what direction we wanted to go and looking at the National Grange and their mission and objectives,” Dorothy Ramig, 20-year Silverton Grange member said. “None of us are really into the farming part of the Grange but we all love food and we consider ourselves a green grange; we all support small farms and good farming practices.

“In our conversations one of our people said ‘What does Silverton need? What is not being offered here?’”

Between what is already offered in town and current events it was suggested that Silverton could use a place where people can have dialog in a safe environment.

“We all kind of went ‘Oooh’ and ‘Ahhh,’” Ramig said.

“It resonated with everybody there.”

Shortly thereafter, Ramig was at a visioning retreat and met Tim Buckley of Salem who conducts trainings in nonviolent communication. He offered to do a

free introductory evening to the 12-week course based on Marshall B. Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life.

From there, interest will determine whether the Grange will offer the series.

“There’s national-level conflict; there’s state-level conflict and then there’s just our own little community; we have conflict which is a part of life,” Ramig said. “How we choose to deal with it is the next step.

“The Grange is reinventing itself, there are some things we want to keep; we want to keep our focus on environmental support and that’s why we call ourselves the green grange,” Ramig said. “Our new focus is to be a community of neighbors where people can come for dialog and events. We have a pretty good building and don’t want to lose it. We need to find a new way to get people interested in coming to use the building.”

The Grange is a few members shy of what it takes to stay viable with the National Grange and with more members the Grange can offer more events to the community.

The Grange recently hosted a candidates’ forum and holds a seed exchange in the spring. Past events include contra dances, cooking classes, public gardening and a pie auction in November to help repair the roof, but the sky’s the limit on what the Grange could mean to the community. Revenue may also be generated by renting out the facility for private events.

Something to Do

Decluttering

By Melissa Wagoner “Whenever the seasons change is a good time to de-clutter,” Elyse McGowanKidd, owner of Kidd De-Clutter in Silverton said. “We are wired for change during the shift of the seasons. Each season has its own theme and therefore its own focus.”

Although McGowan-Kidd has been a professional organizer for only two years, she has been helping family and friends for much longer.

“I grew up with a grandma that made it through a war and had pretty strong hoarding tendencies,” she explained.

“When she passed away, I remember going through her house and the sort of strain and stress it put on my mom and aunt.”

That event shaped McGowan-Kidd, inspiring her to look at her own belongings and to keep them both organized and at a minimum.

“We are so trained into thinking that having more is a representation of being

Change in season offers opportunity to organize

wealthy,” she said. “But that is really not the case. Being wealthy and staying wealthy means that we need to be smart about where our money goes. Buying items we don’t need and storing them is literally throwing your money in the garbage. These things accumulate over time and it feels like holding onto items increases our value but it is like English ivy – noxious, time consuming to get rid of and it takes over everything.”

McGowan-Kidd’s experience is not unique, according to Judi Nagel, also a Silverton resident and co-owner of Jager & Nagel Professional Organizing and Downsizing Services, LLC. “Their generation was the Depression generation so they found a purpose for everything,” she said. “You’re going to see a lot of kids sorting out their parents’ houses – and then you’re going to see the kids sorting out their own houses.”

In other words, Nagel predicts that those who have witnessed the work that goes into sorting out houses full of stuff aren’t

going to put their own children through the same trauma.

“When people are in their fifties they start cleaning to the point where most of their house is empty so their children don’t have to go through that,” she explained.

“You can enjoy your retirement years and not be stressed,” Nagel’s business partner, Mary Ann Jager added. “It’s part of that transitional stage. We both have recognized that homey feeling of a few pictures, some furniture and just what you need.”

Although Nagel and Jager specialize in working with clients who are nearing retirement or older, they also work with younger clientele. Every stage of life has demands that require different organizational practices.

“New moms – it’s let’s get organization in place,” Nagel said. “Then empty nesters – it’s downsizing.”

The initial client consultations begins in the same way – by identifying the room, or rooms, the client wants to start with.

Kidd De-Clutter

elyssium7779@hotmail.com www.facebook.com/kidddeclutter For those without a clear beginning place, they recommend the kitchen and bathrooms as the most used rooms in the house – then the sorting begins.

“The first appointment... we only go so far because it’s overwhelming to have folks in your home, fussing with your stuff,” Jager said. “We just give them that grace to kind of ease into that transition.”

“People are sometimes embarrassed or ashamed of the things they’ve accumulated,” Nagel continued. “We understand the psychology behind it.”

Suggestions for those with children Establish one keepsake box per child, labeled with his/her name.

Make picking up kid’s bedroom part of the bedtime routine.

Use labeled bins and baskets.

Rotate toys into storage so closets, drawers and shelves are less cluttered.

General suggestions

If you haven’t used – or not using it now – get rid of it.

Take photos of treasures and organize them in bound books.

Pass on items now so family members enjoy them now.

Repurpose unused items.

Follow the “one in-one out” rule.

Focus on one room at a time.

Recycle junk mail before it enters the house.

Sort objects into “like-item” piles first.

Box and label seasonal items.

Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed.

If you are too busy or overwhelmed, seek help from a professional.

Keep a donation box at the ready.

Jager and Nagel gained this understanding several years ago when they met as psychology majors at Corban University in Salem. After spending much of their careers in the healthcare field they were both looking for something new that would utilize their degrees. That’s

when they hit on the idea of professional organization.

“There’s a great deal of psychology around [organizing],” Nagel said.

“Oftentimes your environment is a reflection of what’s going on inside of your

mind,” Jager added. “If you have baggage that you haven’t dealt with you’re going to have a harder time letting things go.”

McGowan-Kidd also sees organizing and de-cluttering as a way of dealing with emotion. “[It’s] a way that I cope with stress and anxiety,” she said. “I had some pretty rough patches through divorce, going to school as a single parent and other stuff.

Organizing, purging and de-cluttering was an inexpensive way to change my scenery and focus my energy somewhere positive.”

A recent client of Kidd De-Clutter related a similar experience when she enlisted help for her children.

“Having my kids home all summer has brought our lack of consciousness about ‘messes’ to the forefront,” the client said. “Every time I turn around there is something left out of place: a food wrapper that should be in the garbage, a toy left on the chair, a book left on the dining room table, etc. It seemed no matter how many

times I pointed these things out to my children, nothing changed.”

McGowan-Kidd engaged the children to do much of the work, allowing them to make decisions and take ownership throughout the process.

“I think the kids, especially the older two, wanted to de-clutter their rooms, they just didn’t know how to start,” their mother said. “When Elyse came in, though, they knew she was the expert and listened to her advice.”

McGowan-Kidd and Jager and Nagel suggest that the real process of organizing begins with purchasing less in the first place.

“De-cluttering doesn’t stop with taking stuff out of your home,” McGowan-Kidd added. “It really is a process that needs to lead to different spending habits, different expectations of goods in general. There is a big component to this work that develops into a heightened awareness of garbage.”

Looking Back

Pioneer trees

By Brenna Wiegand A couple years ago Jim Toler of GeerCrest Farm outside of Silverton approached Oregon Travel Information Council about adding the farm’s historic fruit orchard to its list of Heritage Trees.

Oregon Travel Information Council is a semi-independent state agency whose projects include the blue highway logo signs directing motorists to gas, food and other services at exits and providing onsite supervision of the state’s rest areas.

Thursday, Nov. 1 – Thursday, Nov. 8 Monday – Thursday: 10am - 5pm Dr. Michael Kim is announcing the 9TH ANNUAL HALLOWEEN CANDY BUY BACK PROGRAM. We will pay any child $2 PER POUND for their unopened candy, and we are also going to hand out free toothbrushes. Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well. We will be sending all of the un-opened candy and toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to the troops again this year. Last year we sent over 200 lbs!

Dr. Kim is utilizing this program in an effort to help educate the youth of the community and the drawbacks of eating candy containing high amounts of refined sugars.

It also administers the Oregon Historical Marker and Oregon Heritage Tree programs to ensure that significant trees and historical markers retain their significance for future generations.

It so happened the agency had been looking for a way to commemorate Henderson Luelling, whose “traveling nursery” was brought by covered wagon across the plains in 1847. He, with other plant pioneers, including GeerCrest founder Ralph Geer, is credited with starting the fruit tree industry in Oregon and beyond.

The Heritage Tree committee was unsuccessful in finding any sign of Luelling’s initial nursery in Milwaukie, Oregon, and Toler’s proposition provided a wonderful way to recognize the early

pioneers of the nursery and fruit industry in pre-territorial Oregon.

“All of the fruit trees in this grove date back to the first settlers,” Toler said.

“We at the farm mapped out an area where there are 13 trees that date back to the 1850s – fruit, nut and a couple descendants of the Riding Whip Tree.”

A black cottonwood, GeerCrest’s Riding Whip Tree is already a state Heritage Tree with a story of its own but, sadly, the tree is now in decline. However, new starts were taken from the top of the tree when it was blown out during the 1962 Columbus Day Storm.

However, there is no end in sight to the fruits of a friendship struck up between Henderson Luelling and Ralph Geer, founder of GeerCrest, in 1847 as both journeyed west along the Oregon Trail.

“Luelling was bringing two wagons full of growing fruit trees,” Toler said. “They struck up a bargain on the trail… Ralph had seeds for apple and pear trees; he would grow rootstock and trade it to Luelling for scion wood. Luelling started his nursery up in Milwaukie and they traded and that enabled Ralph to put his nursery in down here and grow and sell fruit trees up and down the West Coast.

It was the time of the 49ers in California and there was a good market for fruit

“[Geer and Luelling] worked together to start the fruit tree industry in the territory.”

trees everywhere. They worked together to start the fruit tree industry in the territory.”

The 1851 surveyor report says there were about 20,000 trees in each one of Geer’s two nurseries. Later on, when the fruit tree industry went into a slump, the enterprising settlers ventured into hops, flax, short-horned cattle; whatever it took to survive. Their labors went a long way toward making Oregon’s ag industry what it is today.

About three years ago the GeerCrest crew began creating a memorial orchard that will contain most of the varieties of fruit trees brought over by Luelling. Thanks to trees that were sold to surrounding farms in the 1850s by Ralph Geer, the material is available to carry out such a project.

“We have about 30 of those trees set out and a bunch more in the nursery; it’s another way to see more fruit trees that were grown in those days,” Toler said. “We were able to get grafting scions from Nick Botner’s Spearheart Farm in Yoncalla, Oregon, and from the Home Orchard Society and did our own grafting on the farm. Our oldest ones are three years old

After the recognition program Oct. 19 the farm will be open for exploration and tours, and Toler is hoping they will be able to fire up the old cider press.

“It’s an old hand-cranker that has been in the family since the 1800s,” Toler said.

Both the 1851 Geer farmhouse, the oldest residence in Oregon that remains in the original family, and its stone fruit cellar are on the National Register of Historic Places. Jim and Erika Toler are the farm’s fifth-generation owners. The farm itself, settled by Ralph and Mary Geer, dates back to 1847.

Sports & Recreation

Kuenzi to rescue

Deep Foxes keep up winning ways

“I was just trying to fill in for Hayden Roth and do as good a job as he did,” Nathan Kuenzi said. “I really enjoyed it.

That was the most fun game I’ve ever played.”

The Silverton High running back was talking Sept. 28 after the Foxes’ 40-22 Special District 3 football victory against Corvallis. Kuenzi, starting for the injured Roth, rushed for three touchdowns and Silverton running uncorked a 58-yard back Nathan Kuenzi run on Silverton’s first possession of the third quarter. Kuenzi scored twice during a 20-0 Foxes blitz in the period that turned the tide.

Kuenzi had even more fun Oct. 5 at Dallas. The running back chewed up the new field turf for 216 yards on an amazing 49 carries and scored twice in the 23-8 victory. The third Foxes touchdown came on a pass from sophomore quarterback Aaron Rieskamp to wide receiver Grant Buchheit, and Ben Willis added a field goal.

Buchheit was on the injury list and missed the Corvallis game, as did quarterback Levi Nielsen.

“We’re slowly getting healthier and have some guys trying to get back in action this week,” coach Josh Craig told Our Town.

The wins moved Silverton, ranked No. 5 in Class 5A, to 6-0 in district play, tied with No. 3 West Albany.

“This week” was a trip to 4-2 Crescent Valley, ranked ninth. The game took place after Our Town’s presstime.

Kennedy, meanwhile, has righted the ship after struggling in Special District 2 losses to No. 2 Sheridan and No. 6 Santiam.

The Trojans downed nonleague foe Grant Union 37-0 on Sept. 28 and took out Gervais 61-20 on Oct. 5. Kennedy, 1-2 in league and 4-2 overall, hosted Colton (3-1, 5-1) after Our Town’s presstime.

Kennedy is ranked 11th and Colton 14th in Class 2A. The top two teams in the league automatically qualify for the Class 2A playoffs, with four at-large berths also available. Santiam (4-0) and Sheridan (3-0) currently are in the top two spots.

Volleyball: Kennedy passed its first major test of the season Oct. 2, taking out visiting Culver 3-0 in Mount Angel. The Trojans entered the week 13-0 in the TriRiver Conference, 22-1 overall and ranked No. 2 in Class 2A behind Grant Union.

Culver is 12-1 and seems sure to join Kennedy and make up the two automatic state playoff bids from the conference.

Kennedy played its rematch with the Bulldogs after Our Town’s presstime.

Kennedy’s Alejandra Lopez currently leads all Class 2A Special District 2 runners with an 18:47.6 time. Boys runner Luke Hall, meanwhile, is fourth at 17:38.

Silverton, meanwhile, is in good playoff position in the Mid-Willamette Conference. The Foxes are 8-5 in league, 12-8 overall and ranked No. 11 in Class 5A. The Foxes are in fourth place in league, with the top four all qualifying for the state playoffs.

Silverton runs in the Mid-Willamette Conference district meet Oct. 24 at Waterloo Park in Lebanon. Haile Stutzman of the Foxes leads district boys runners with a 15:47.6 mark. Jori Paradis is the top Silverton girls runner, ranking 11th.

Soccer: The Foxes’ boys squad has moved up to No. 4 in the Class 5A rankings.

Silverton is 8-1 overall and 3-1 in the Mid-Willamette Conference. The Foxes’ lone loss was to No. 2 Corvallis. Silverton has a pair of tough matches this week, hosting No. 5 Central on Tuesday, Oct. 16 and visiting No. 3 South Albany on Thursday, Oct. 18.

Silverton needs to stay in the top four in league to guarantee it a spot in the playoffs. Corvallis leads at 4-0, with South Albany at 4-1 and Central at 3-1-1.

Cross country: The Kennedy and Silverton cross country teams are rounding into shape and aiming toward district competition. The Trojans participate in the district preview meet Thursday, Oct. 18 with the district championships set for Oct. 25. Both meets are at Cheadle Lake Park in Lebanon.

The state meet for all classes is Nov. 3 at Lane Community College in Eugene.

Hoops camp: The Silverton High girls basketball program is hosting a camp for girls in grades four through eight from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28 at the school gym.

Coach Tal Wold and his players will be instructing campers in ball-handling, attacking the basket and shooting, as well as preparing players for upcoming middle school and Future Lady Foxes tryouts.

The camp costs $20, with T-shirts available on a first-registered, first-served basis. Email Wold at wold_tal@silverfalls. k12.or.us to register or if you have questions.

Smith has history of community service To the Editor: With elections for the City of Silverton fast approaching, I write in support of the re-election of Dana Smith. During her past years in office, Dana has served the city of Silverton and its citizens admirably, effectively handling diverse issues that have arisen in our town while maintaining the quality of life that we all enjoy here.

In Dana’s 20 years as a resident of Silverton, she has served our beloved city continuously and has been involved in almost every facet of community life – Silver Falls School District board member and budget committee member, the Park Planning Committee, the Silverton Fine Arts Festival Committee, and as a construction supervisor for Habitat for Humanity.

Because of Dana’s contributions, Silverton has a school district that is among the best in the state, parks residents can enjoy, festivals that bring thousands in to visit our city, and community members reaching out to those in need.

Dana’s focus is non-partisan.

She thinks about each issue independently of her own view points, listens to citizens, and then uses that information to vote based on what she thinks is best for our community. Dana is truly an outstanding public servant. I have observed her dedication to Silverton as she seeks what is best for our town. I give Dana Smith my highest recommendation for your vote for her re-election to city council.

People Out Loud

Secret praise

A shout-out to Silverton Sheltering Services duo

It’s time to focus on the positive things going on in the area, after the ugliness of last week’s uber partisan politics at the national level and the plethora of attack ads here in Oregon.

Brent Jacobsen and Sarah White are doers. They walk the walk, walk the talk, deliver the goods, and look to the next area of need. They are genuine, kind, and have a “bias for action.”

Perhaps I was a bit devious, since I told Brent I was writing about Sarah and needed some insight and told Sarah I was writing about Brent. The thing is, they work together beautifully. All for the greater good. Sarah started a warming shelter three years ago, along with three other women. According to Jacobsen, in his subject line answering my email inquiry, “Saint Sarah” is a God-Send.

“Sarah had become familiar with many of the residents of Silverton who need a hand while working as a case manager at SACA,” he said. “After leaving that position, she continued to use her broad

work. She leads by modeling caring and helpful behavior and gently, patiently reminding us in many ways, to be the best version of ourselves. And, she does all of this as a volunteer.”

understanding of the resources and services available, but unknown to many of the neediest, to help homeless people in our community meet their most basic needs and start addressing their reasons for being homeless.

“The warming shelter grew in its outreach and the number of people staying overnight and volunteering,” he continued.

“The impromptu warming shelter that Sarah and three friends started evolved into the Silverton Area Warming Shelter and now Silverton Sheltering Services (S.S.S.). Throughout this evolution, people who work with her will tell you, Sarah is the heart and soul behind the

White is also on the Bethany Charter School Board, mom to four active kids, is married to the S.S.S. webmaster, Dimitry, and is involved in a host of other Silverton area groups and projects.

Not to be outdone in offering effusive praise (unknowingly) to her sheltering counterpart, White says of Dr. Jacobsen, “Brent is a treasure for this town – but probably a secret one, working quietly behind the scenes to make things happen.

“He had recently retired from a career in juvenile corrections, counseling, education, and management at the Oregon Department of Education,” White said.

“I immediately knew Brent was a special guy and was eager to enlist his help. I remember the time and care

he showed one young person who was trying to build a life for herself after an abusive relationship. He sat with her for hours helping her identify her strengths and resources, develop a plan that she was excited about and giving her encouragement she had so long been seeking.

“I reached out to him when we were forming an advisory board for the Warming Shelter,” she continued.

“He immediately emerged as a leader in that group. He listens intently before speaking, uses humor and compassion to relate to everyone. When we made the decision to become a non-profit, Brent was everyone’s first choice as our Board President. I really can’t say enough good things about the guy.”

Kudos to these two, who can be counted on to work tirelessly for the greater good while doing the right thing, with no expectation of reward or thanks. Embrace them.
