Something to Talk About

Timbered timbre

By Teresa Williams Jackson When a group of six friends started talking about building an amphitheater in Silverton’s Coolidge McClaine Park, they didn’t know such a structure was included in the city’s Parks Master Plan. They just saw a need.

When they took their concept to the City Council Nov. 5, it was met with an enthusiastic response.

As team member Jim DeSantis imagines it, the estimated $78,650 timber frame structure would be built during a 10-day workshop where community members could learn timber framing. He hopes to involve high school shop students, as well.

“The idea started with wanting to do a timber frame workshop with community members,” said DeSantis, who owns Silver Creek Timberworks.

“I think the proposal is incredible,” Mayor Kyle Palmer said. “I love the project. I think it’s beautiful.”

Palmer said the Silverton Rotary Club,

Amphitheater proposed for Coolidge McClaine Park

of which he is a member, has had to rent a stage for the Homer Davenport Community Festival, and it’s likely the Homer Davenport Foundation would provide a grant for the project.

Jason Gottgetreu, Silverton’s community development director, has met with the team. He said a more formalized location and a refined design is still needed. It may also need to be presented to the Parks and Recreation Committee.

DeSantis expects the project to take two years.

Most of DeSantis’ work is residential, but his work can be seen at the Oregon Garden.

“Since we’ve talked to the city and the City Council, it may move quicker,” he said.

Funding is one of the biggest issues.

DeSantis is hoping the project will cost the city little to nothing, though there may be some city funds available. He expects to find grants, and he hopes local contractors and suppliers will help, too.

“They were always good experiences where timber framers just came together with community members,” he said.

He worked with the nonprofit organization when it built the pavilion at Salem’s Riverfront Park.

DeSantis discovered timber framing by reading about it when he was in college.

“It was a great experience and a great structure,” he said.

Timber Framers Guild www.tfguild.org City of Silverton www.silverton.or.us His favorite guild project was the visitors pavilion at the remote Central Suriname Nature Reserve, deep in the jungle of the South American coastal country located between Guyana and French Guiana.

“It was just a fantastic setting and a very interesting project working with locals,” he said.

DeSantis has lived in Silverton for 20 years, and he has always wanted to do a similar project at home.

When he and a group of friends were talking about the need for an amphitheater at the park, they decided to

Timber framing is a specific style of construction where “heavy timber is joined together via mortises and tenons, then secured with wooden pegs,” according to the Timber Framers Guild website.

DeSantis is a member of the Timber Framers Guild, which puts on workshops on timber framing and builds community projects in the process.

Business

Natural beauty

By Nancy Jennings

In 2014, Antonina Kuznetsov was a 15-year-old living in the small city of Fosston, Minnesota, on a mission – to become an entrepreneur. After taking the necessary steps, she secured a business license and made her dream come true – all before getting her driver’s license.

Now 19, the Monitor resident and founder of “Antonina’s Naturals,” an all-natural skin care line, values authenticity above all else. She recalled the incident that propelled her launch into the skin care business.

“I was 12 and read my mom’s body lotion labels and saw they were full of chemicals. Out of curiosity, I Googled one of the ingredients, and I told my mom, ‘our skin care products are killing us.’ We could work out, eat healthy, but if we’re putting garbage into our skin (all of these toxins), 60 percent of that is going into our bloodstream. I told my mom to throw out everything.”

Her mom resisted at first, but Antonina remained firm.

She promised she would make homemade products that would be better and healthier.

“It all started in the kitchen with my KitchenAid,” she

19-year-old entrepreneur thriving said with a grin. She made her first product, lip balm, in 2014. She now offers body butter, hand salve, a coffee body scrub, bath bombs and an exfoliating mask.

The second oldest of six children, Antonina was raised witnessing a strong work ethic in her parents and grandmother. Her parents encouraged her to follow her passion from the beginning.

“My parents always supported me, no matter what.

My mom always drove me around to my events. They believed in me,” she said.

Her father suggested she find a proper manufacturer to formulate her products. “It was all trial and error.” She reached out to nearly 100 manufacturers and couldn’t find one to agree to her terms. But she persisted and eventually found the perfect match.

“I source my ingredients from my manufacturer in St. Helens, Oregon. I made it my mission to meet the founder. She is now a great friend of mine. It’s been an amazing journey just having people that you can trust and knowing that they care, love their job – and are only going to bring the best to you,” she said.

“I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur because I just love the lifestyle. I have time to enjoy my life, not

3,000 trees sell my products in about 25 locations, including the Midwest. I’m hoping to get into the local shops and boutiques. When you’re supporting a small business, you’re supporting somebody’s dream and hard work.”

Her advice to others is simple – hearing the word ‘no,’ doesn’t always mean it can’t turn into a ‘yes’ later.

“You have to have confidence, handle stress and be able to believe in yourself. You must be persistent. Owning my own business has made me believe in myself and be an inspiration to other women in my age and peer group.”

Away from her business, she loves everything outdoors, including nature hikes, kayaking, and romping on the beach with Ava-Jade, her rambunctious Silver Labrador puppy. She admits to an addiction of “any caramel latte drink.” Giving back is important to her. She supports the “Adopt a Child” charities.

Antonina will be attending aesthetician school in January, with hopes of eventually opening a local fullservice day spa. She envisions offering customers tea or champagne while they wait in white robes for facials.

Her online store is at www.antoninanaturals.com.

Watershed council enables planting

The Pudding River Watershed Council worked with landowners to plant 3,000 trees in the watershed area during 2018. The cedar, pine, fir and willow seedlings were donated by Weyerhaeuser and PRT USA. The watershed council is a nonprofit organization focused on improving water quality and wildlife habitat around the area including Silverton and Mount Angel.

In the spring the council received the seedlings and with empty plastic pots donated by Agri-Plas and the help of Kraemer’s Nursery and K J Farms, they were nurtured over the summer. Then the council distributed free, onegallon potted trees to community groups, individuals, and the cities of Silverton and Molalla.

Trees stabilize soil near streams, help filter runoff, provide shelter for song birds and provide shade on hot days. The seedling project is one example of how the watershed council serves the community. By receiving and coordinating donations and grant funding it enables residents and volunteers to improve the land.

The value of trees goes beyond just the physical benefits, according to a council representative, who noted that the community’s excitement about planting the trees was evidence that there is plenty of interest in taking care of this very special place.

Expanded monthly series starts next month in Silverton

By James Day Classical music fans in Silverton will be getting a double treat of First Friday concerts next year.

The series at the Silverton United Methodist Church is moving from once every two months to monthly starting in January.

“Our intentions have been to enrich the cultural life of Silverton through offering a venue for mostly classical performances, making high-level live music available to an audience allowed to pay as much or as little as they can or wish,” said Silverton composer and musician Christopher Wicks, who chairs the committee organizing the series.

HOPE

Wicks also will be a featured composer and performer during the series, with his opera Love is Strong as Death set for April, works for string quartet in July and his oratorio I Know that God Is Good: St. Theresa of Lisieux in October.

A Dramatic Telling Of The Nativity Story December 13 | 7:00 pm December 16 | 9:00 am and 10:45 am

In addition to moving the concerts to monthly, Wicks said, another “exciting development is that we have cleared the legal hurdles to begin programming copyrighted music as well as public domain works, which will allow more variety in the repertory.”

Other featured performers include violinist Marjory Lange in January, medieval multi-instrumentalist Aage Nielsen in March and Salem Philharmonia concertmaster Stephanie Barth in July and September.

Here is a look at the full schedule:

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service December 24 | 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm

Jan. 4: Marjory Lange, violin. Music by Händel, Wicks, and Dvorak Feb. 1: Salem String Quartet. Caius and Sigrun Opera, Brandon Correa, and Katherine Parks.

March 1: Ensemble Aalto. Aage Nielsen, historical and modern double reed instruments; Christopher Wicks, keyboards. Music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, J.P. Sweelinck, and anonymous medieval composers.

Brush Creek auditioning for youth play Brush Creek will be holding auditions for actors and would-be actors up through the age of 18 to perform in the 2019 children and youth show, The Pirate’s Paradise, directed by Linda Zellner.

This adventure is an original script by Emily Wood and Michael Wood, who have been writing Brush Creek’s children and youth scripts for the last several years.

The production has adventure, mayhem, plenty of rousing good humor – and perhaps just a touch of romance!

The Pirate’s Paradise offers an unusual twist on the typical pirate tale.

Open auditions using cold readings from the script will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15 and at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 16.

No preparation is necessary, and the auditions are expected to last about two hours. While it isn’t necessary to be there both days, it can sometimes be useful, especially for actors who are new to Brush Creek.

The production will rehearse through January and February to open its threeweekend run on Friday, Feb. 22.

There will likely be two casts who will share a total of 12 performances (one on Friday, two on Saturday, and one on Sunday each of the three weekends). To learn more about rehearsal expectations – or you are interested in being in the show but cannot make either audition date – contact director Linda Zellner at ljzel@aol.com.

Silverton’s Bobbie second edition released On Valentine’s Day 1924 a farm collie named Bobbie — ragged, footsore and weary after a 2,500-mile trek beginning in Indiana — arrived at the door of the Silverton home that he’d left with his family in the autumn of 1923.

Imagine: A dog lost in unfamiliar territory, traveling approximately 2,500 miles from Indiana to Oregon over a period of six months to reach his home. He had performed a homing feat of such great distance and elapsed time that many who heard of it were skeptical. But the amazing journey was validated and has stood the test of time. It has been recounted internationally and even was included in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Even in the days before the Internet, Bobbie became an instant celebrity and his story spread around the world.

Written by Oregon native Judith Kent, who spent summers as a

child with Silverton relatives and was fascinated by Bobbie’s story, the book Silverton’s Bobbie was first published in 2004.

Approaching the centennial of Bobbie’s odyssey, a new second edition of Silverton’s Bobbie includes most of the materials from the first edition, along with additional details, background, photos, and illustrations including photo clips from a 1924 movie starring Bobbie provided by the Oregon Historical Society.

The new edition has twice as many pages as the first and includes new details about The Oregon Garden’s Bobbie Memorial and the annual Silverton Pet Parade.

Published by Ridenbaugh Press in Carlton, Oregon, Silverton’s Bobbie, second edition (ISBN 9780945648444) is available directly through the publisher, at The Oregon Garden or through Amazon.com and many retailers in the Northwest.

Something for the Soul

Miracle in the mist

by Robert McGowan

and included a holiday meal.

There are many spots in the SilvertonMount Angel area that have colloquial names. All probably have some historical significance. Some represent a community or area like Drakes Crossing or Bethany.

Others are more localized like Rocky Four Corners. Lone Pine is one of the localized ones and represents the intersection of Highway 213 and Mt. Angel-Scotts Mills Road.

I am guessing at one time it was marked by a single tall tree; probably not a big mental leap on my part.

Remembering the uniform I was wearing in my kitchen that morning, it had to be a December Sunday.

The history of Lone Pine no doubt involves Native Americans, early Oregon Territory settlers, wagons and horses.

That early history has given way to state highways, paved roads and motorized transportation. This story involves the latter and needs to be documented and shared. It is a piece of Lone Pine history involving a miracle. The year, or even decade, I don’t recall. In contrast though, I can pinpoint the month down to December and the day of the week to Sunday.

It was a December Sunday morning at Lone Pine.

Those two calendar items are tied to the fact that on that particular Sunday morning I was standing in my kitchen wearing a U.S. Army Class A uniform.

As a long-time member of the Army National Guard, we were required to wear that uniform and stand inspection once a year. Most units selected the December drill. It was considered a holiday time and a chance for family to be invited to see where dad/mom/husband/wife went once a month. Sunday was the preferred day

10 • December 2018

A December Sunday at Lone Pine

I normally am an early riser. Early enough to shower, read the paper, drink three cups of coffee, have breakfast and still make it to drill early. The weather adjusted my timing that morning. Fog so dense it could easily take me two to three times as long to make the 23-mile journey to my unit drill site. I found that out when I trekked to the street to retrieve the paper. I don’t remember for sure, but I likely read the news and sports, the rest would have to wait. One cup of coffee with one to go.

Decided against the one to go as I was wearing a dress uniform. I could get all the coffee I wanted once I got there, quality marginal, quantity unlimited.

I was in the kitchen putting final touches on my departure, my wife likely telling me to drive carefully and my response something along the line of “instead of my normally bad driving.” She knew it was foggy and no doubt felt better for having related the obvious. The pager on my belt went into alert mode. Not an unusual occurrence. I was a long-time volunteer with the local fire district, a senior member who had been doing emergency response long enough that the alert pager no longer injected my system with adrenaline. Most calls were of a medical nature. I was at one time an Emergency Medical Technician and maybe I still was, I don’t remember for sure. But by that time I was either a captain or chief officer and rarely got to touch a patient, as somebody had to be in charge and that was often my role.

Whatever the call was, they no doubt

ourtownlive.com

could do it without me. Nobody was indispensable, myself included. All the fires got put out, all patients treated and transported no matter who showed up.

Sunday morning, most of the volunteers were home, manpower would not be a problem. I had a long hazardous drive ahead of me. They could do this one without me.

Alert tones finally stopped. After years of listening you pretty much knew who had been alerted by the tones. Three stations, duty officer and the ambulance, could be serious. “Respond to the area of HW213 and Mt. Angel-Scotts Mills Road for a single vehicle in the ditch, single female occupant, unconscious.” It was time to reconsider my departure to drill. My National Guard supervisor would understand. Given the location, I could be the first one there, not in the direction I needed to go and it would take me awhile in the fog, but I was the closest. Those further away had the same time multiplier: fog. Decision made, I shed my tie and Class A jacket; my fire turnouts were in my truck.

The ride to the scene was unremarkable except for the time it took. Being able to see only a few feet you run the risk of running off the road, running into someone, or being run into. Only fools and fireman were out this morning. I got to the appointed intersection. Dispatch had told me they believed the scene was south of the intersection in the northbound lane. I turned south and about a block down found a car in the ditch. I gave dispatch a description of the scene that pretty much matched what they already knew. First things first, I grabbed a half dozen flares and my flashlight and started

Our Town Life

walking south. Closing the traffic lanes would come when there were more men and equipment. Right now I hoped flares would do the trick to keep me from getting hit. I retraced my steps and laid out more flares northbound.

It was time for the patient. The car was in the ditch at an awkward angle. I moved down and found the driver’s door. I don’t remember if I had to open the door or if the window was down. Either way, I was next to her and she appeared to be about 20. I got no response when talking to her. My worst fears were unfounded when I found she had a pulse and was breathing. However, looking back at me when I checked her pupils were a set of “Raccoon Eyes”, a medical indicator for a possible skull fracture. She needed to be in a trauma center ASAP. I crawled out of the ditch to talk to dispatch and gave them a patient status and asked them to check the availability of the Life Flight helicopter out of Portland.

In the meantime, other units were arriving, orders were given regarding extrication and road closure. We trained for this and did it often. Sometimes it was easier than this one, sometimes harder, but it always got done. This one was going to be tough because of the patient condition and position of the car.

Flying critical patients by helicopter was often the difference between life and death. Flying turned transportation hours into minutes and expanded the “golden hour” for trauma care. My military career gave me a good perspective on their use.

For over two decades I had worked on, crewed and sometimes flown helicopters.

I had participated in rescues, medivacs and burning holes in the sky. I knew their capabilities and limitations. This morning it was not a question that the patient “should” go by helicopter, it was a question of “could” she go by helicopter. Fog is not a friend of flying low to the ground. It creates a deadly hazardous environment that is unacceptable. The patient was likely destined for a long, slow ambulance trip.

Extrication was underway and was tightly integrated with patient care from the ambulance crew. Evaluations and requirements of both the patient and vehicle were being exchanged. Plans of attack developed and equipment collected.

My job included making sure they had all assets on scene for the job. Medics agreed with my initial assessment that a helicopter was her best option.

Dispatch called with the Life Flight response. They could fly in the Portland area without problem but south of

Our Town Life

Portland was fog at least as far as Corvallis.

I requested they be activated, if they could find somewhere to land between the scene and Portland, we would load the patient and come to them. Life Flight launched from Portland and headed south. Long minutes passed, extrication continued.

When they got within radio range the helicopter crew called. Typically a landing zone (LZ) would have been established with a designated LZ officer to talk to the helicopter. Not this time. A LZ can’t be established in dense fog. They were talking direct to the on-scene commander. There was no good information regarding options to land, but I asked them to continue as patient extrication was going to take time.

Geographically we were located on the valley floor but right at the base of the hills that rose up and formed the basins of both the Abiqua Creek and Butte Creek.

I asked the helicopter crew if they could find a place up in the hills above the fog. If they could land, we could find them. They responded that was not an option. Hard to imagine fog this dense and hundreds of feet deep. Normally they would find the scene by getting close and getting vectors from the LZ officer when they could be seen or heard from the ground. That morning was different. I heard them and gave them my best guess on our relative positions. When I heard them fly directly overhead and I advised them of that. Now they knew where we were but that really didn’t change the situation.

Extrication was being completed. I saw the patient being lifted from the ditch. She was secured to a backboard head to toe.

Bags of IV fluids were being held aloft, blankets were being tucked around her to finally fend off the cold and damp fog she had been exposed to since her vehicle left the road. She was ready to go with her best option for survival still in orbit overhead.

Three hundred feet or three hundred miles were the same right now, with no LZ to close the gap. She was going to go by ground.

Then it happened. The divine response to a single request of someone on scene or maybe the collective subconscious request of the whole crew? Fifty yards west of the scene, in a flat dirt field many acres in size, a bright spot was forming. The recently risen sun was breaking through. The flight crew spotted it also but to them it must have been the opposite, a dark spot in a farmer’s field forming in a sea of white. I contacted the pilot and confirmed for him the open spot was virtually right next to the scene and was completely void of any obstacles and from my perspective, he was cleared to land. Land he did.

reaches the

Normally the medical flight crew would depart the LZ and evaluate the patient before loading but in this case the flight medics and ground medics had already passed all pertinent information via radio.

The hole in the fog that became the LZ wasn’t likely to last, they needed the patient. If the hole closed around them, they were staying until the fog cleared again. Ground crews passed her across the ditch that still held her vehicle and started to the aircraft. The flight crew met them and the exchange was swift and efficient.

In seconds she was secured in the aircraft and the doors closed. I confirmed to the pilot all ground personnel were clear.

He pulled his collective control to gain altitude but had to make a spiraling departure up thru the hole to avoid entering the fog walls. We lost sight but could still hear the aircraft and could tell he had changed direction for a northern departure to Portland. As quick as the

aircraft had lifted thru the hole in the fog, the hole disappeared. It was filled in by the rotor turbulence, or its existence no longer required. Either way it was gone, the sun again blocked by the dark and dense fog. The pilot confirmed it from his perspective. No trace of the hole left.

The fire crews and medics from Mount Angel, Scotts Mills and Silverton stowed their equipment, getting ready for the next call.

The hole in the fog had come and gone in minutes. Its existence matching exactly the time required, its appearance matching exactly where it was needed. A minute later and the patient likely would have been strapped in the ambulance and the helicopter released. In the hundreds of square miles of fog it was positioned right next the young woman who needed it. It didn’t form over a treed area that would have rendered it useless. It formed over level dirt, completely clear of obstructions.

It was a miracle on a December Sunday morning at Lone Pine.

Hoops update

Silverton, Kennedy hoping for basketball glory

The Silverton and Kennedy basketball programs are coming off sterling seasons. The girls and boys programs at both schools finished in the top four in the state, with the Trojans’ girls squad taking home their second Class 2A title in three years.

The Trojans lost seven seniors off of that championship team, but they have started fast, opening 5-0 and earning the early No. 1 ranking in Class 2A. “We have always prided ourselves on improving all season and to hang our hats on defense,” coach Peter Hall told Our Town. Peter shares coaching duties with his wife, Kerry. “So far this group has played very good defense, made some mistakes, but has improved in some way every game.”

There are just two seniors on the roster, Kalyssa Kleinschmit and Clarissa Traeger. Kleinschmit is averaged 16 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and Hall credited her for putting in significant offseason work.

Traeger is the point guard, with Hall noting “she has been doing an excellent job so far.”

Another key contributor for Kennedy is sparkplug sophomore guard Ellie Cantu, who is averaging 16 points, 5.5 steals and 3.5 assists per game.

The Kennedy boys, meanwhile, who finished fourth last year at the 2A tournament in Pendleton are 2-2 overall, and have a wealth of talent returning.

Senior Carson Hall and junior Luke Hall are top shooters, while 6-6 Rocco Carley and 6-4 Nick Suing, the team captains, will hold down the fort down low.

Angel DeLaRosa, Bruce Beyer and Brandon Salazar will be key guard contributors, coach Karl Schmidtman said, with sophomores Brady Traeger, Dylan Kleinschmit and transfer John Tallon adding depth.

The Trojans will play without junior guard Emorej Lynk, who injured his knee in the 2A football championship win against Santiam.

“Losing him is obviously a big blow to our team,” Schmidtman said. “He is one of the best players in the state. Luckily, we are a deep team this year and this loss

had a strong start. We have overcome a lot of adversity and injury and are still finding a way to perform at a high level and give our very best. We have to continue to improve on the defensive end and play every position with focus and grit. Our rebounding has to become more consistent as well. Those are the two things we are focused on.”

will require our other players to fill slightly different and/or larger roles.”

Silverton’s girls squad was third in last year’s Class 5A tournament and took a 3-1 record and the No. 14 ranking into the league season.

The Foxes will miss four-year starters Maggie Roth and Brooke McCarty but have three starters back, Ellie Schmitz, Jori Paradis and Riley Traeger. Truitt Reilly and Josslyn Ames also return, “Each of them is going to need to progress in all areas,” Foxes coach Tal Wold said. “We need more leadership from them, and we will need them to do more also on both ends of the floor. Your leaders set the tone and urgency daily. Not just how you will compete in games but how hard you are going to practice and what kind of expectations we will have for each other.”

The Silverton boys, fourth in Class 5A a year ago, have started 4-0 and are ranked ninth in Class 5A. “I’m really proud of our guys up to this point in the season,” said second-year coach Jamie McCarty. “We have

Top returners for the Foxes include point guard David Gonzales, post Levi Nielsen and versatile wing Josiah Roth. Three-point sharpshooters Grant Dunn and Drake Ulven also return, as does Tashaun Treat, a twoway lineman on the football team who is being counted on to do a lot of the physical work down low that Clay Martinson handled a year ago.

Football: Kennedy’s stirring run to the Class 2A football title yielded numerous awards on the all-state team, including coach of the year for Joe Panuke.

Emorej Lynk of the Trojans was named offensive player of the year, while Nick Suing earned defensive line honors.

Lynk was a first-teamer at running back and linebacker, Suing was on the first team offensive line as well as the defensive line, and wide receiver Rocco Carley and defensive back Bruce Beyer also were first-teamers.

Running: More than 180 runners and walkers participated in the Dec. 1 5-kilometer run/walk held in conjunction with the Hazelnut Festival in Mount Angel. Gwilym Horner of Portland led all runners in 18:55.7, about six seconds ahead of runner-up Tom O’Neil of Canby.

Deanna O’Neil of Canby was fifth overall in 19:49.6 and was the first woman finisher.

People Out Loud

I’m not going to sing it I saw a wonderful post on Facebook last week, paraphrased, “Don’t criticize someone’s choices if you don’t know what their other choices were.” It made me think a lot, especially as Christmas is approaching.

It seems we are on a roll, but not in a good way. Instead of saying quietly in our cars, “I was at the intersection first.

It’s not your turn!” we choose to offer our angry faces or less-than-friendly hand gestures. What if we choose differently?

What if we show them a courteous hand gesture and a smile, letting them go first? Our chocolate caramel hazelnut macchiato can wait for those three seconds we lost. And another thought – maybe those other drivers are rushing to get antibiotics for their baby, and chose to drive a little bit more assertively? What is wrong with, when faced with a choice, we choose to be kind and a bit more patient?

A scary thought, perhaps, but come January 2019, the first 2020 presidential primary will be just 12 months away.

My stomach is beginning to seize up as

. . . But you know the song and health care for all). Instead of egging them on with “How is he gonna pay for that?” or “He kind of comes off as an angry old man,” why not say simply, “It will be an interesting time in the year ahead. Gladys, your tofu-quinoa-kalepersimmon dressing is incredible. I feel healthier already.”

I write. But what if we drop the subject over holiday dinners and get-togethers?

What if we choose to nibble on our grandbabies, ask our grandparents how much they have seen and how much things have changed in their lifetime, and watch a sappy Hallmark movie together instead? When ol’ Uncle Ed says he hopes he finds a “MAGA” hat under the tree this year, why not simply smile or give him Santa’s address?

We can choose to engage and have the conversation go south quickly, or we can choose to keep the peace, at least until the Christmas tree comes down. Or if we must engage, may we choose to respond, “That is an interesting thought, Dad. Why do you believe the burning of fossil fuels like ‘glorious coal’ is helping to stave off climate change?”

When your college progeny comes back to the nest for the holiday season after a brutal week of finals, “Bernie” is going to come up as the greatest leader the world has ever seen (because he really wants student college debt to be manageable

As I write, my thoughts go to tonight’s tree lighting in Towne Square Park, the new Children’s Christmas Lantern parade, and what song I should do poorly at karaoke. There are visions of Lucy, dancing in my head, trying to

see the world through my two-year old granddaughter’s mischievous little eyes.

What does she think about Santa’s magic fairy dust instantaneously making the lights go on? I think of 17 renditions of the song from the movie Frozen, “Let It Go,” that I will hear tonight, and it makes sense to me. Let it go.

Let the anger, the sadness, the arguments, the politics, the grudges, the envy, and the judgements of others go. Even for a little while. It will still be there waiting for us in January. But for now, let’s choose peace. Let’s choose family and friends. Let’s choose laughter, and love, and reconciliation with loved ones to mend once wonderful relationships that got away from us. Let’s choose to let it go. It is, after all, about choices, and we are in the driver’s seat.

However you celebrate this special time of year, may it be blessed, peaceful, and a time for reflection of what we can do in the coming New Year to make the world or our little niche in it a better place to be.
