Something to Do

A modern library

By Brenna Wiegand Jackie Mills is Mount Angel Public Library’s new director. Though she has lots of new ideas, Mills intends to build on the many accomplishments of Carrie Caster during her three-year tenure.

“We have a very small staff but we’re very dynamic and have been able to do quite a bit,” Caster said. “I think Jackie’s going to carry the same spirit of wanting to do a lot of collaborative programming.”

Despite very limited resources and a staff of three part-time employees – once they find a Youth Services Coordinator – the team found ways to provide interesting programming. They teamed up with the Independence branch to provide a series of teen programs through the Library Services & Technologies Act, the only federal program exclusively for libraries.

“We got funding for joint programs like 3D printing and Arduino, a programming language, and we’d love to do a lot more of that,” Caster said.

Kids programming includes story and playtimes, LEGO Club and movie matinees.

Under Caster’s leadership circulation increased by 30-40 percent a year. The library upgraded its social media presence, increased programming, put together a teen

advisory board and, in addition to its cozy fireside area, made a cushion-y corner where teens can hang out.

Assistant Librarian and 23-year employee Marilyn Clouser says a library can be an oasis.

“It can provide refreshment, a break from usual surroundings, shelter, nourishment, possibly peace and quiet or alternately laughter and camaraderie,” Clouser said. “The library is a safe place in a community where anyone, from the youngest to the oldest, can come through the door without paying admission, take a seat, and breathe.

Such customer service is one of Mills’ core values along with programming, outreach and networking.

“Within the next few months I hope to be reaching out to organizations and people of all different ages,” Mills said. “The senior center, the Towers, schools and preschools; we want to make sure they’re aware of what the library has to offer.”

This is especially relevant at Kennedy High School where there is no active library.

“The trend in modern libraries is you kind of blow the walls off and go where people are rather than expecting everybody to come through the door,” Mills said. “My first job is to find out what people like.”

Quality Dental Care in a Friendly Environment

Originally from Seattle, Mills has been a children’s librarian, worked at a college and most recently managed a library branch in Mount Pleasant, N.C. “I’ve had a pretty varied career in libraries, but public library is really my niche and I love working in a small library because I like doing everything,” Mills said. “Some of my friends in larger branches are in their office all day.

This is perfect.”

In previous jobs Mills replaced traditional librarians and felt she was bringing the library into the 21st Century.

“I don’t have to do that here; Carrie’s done an amazing job of keeping us up to date with current technologies, social media and newer trends in libraries,” Mills said.

She appreciates being part of Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service that allows patrons to request resources from any of its 17 members.

“You hear people who say libraries are obsolete; that books are old dusty things,” Mills said. “That’s not really true. Librarians are still the experts at finding the best information in the most efficient way.

Once while she was working at a school, a student ended up quoting a psychic in a report on Mount Machu Picchu.

“I had given him page after page of websites that you

“Again, that goes back to equal access,” Mills said. “I’ve worked with people who’ve never used a computer, but needed to in applying for a job or for unemployment so I’m hoping down the road we’ll be able to provide those kinds of classes.”

She is especially fond of ‘Learning Express Library,’ an electronic database that helps with educational and career goals including job search and practicing for job tests including electrician, nursing, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test and American College Testing Program (ACT). Access to such data bases are available through their website 24 hours a day.

Something to Do

Bilingual biblioteca

Spanish Story Time comes to Silver Falls Library

By Melissa Wagoner

Lara Ghio is passionate about bilingual education and thinks that everyone should have the opportunity to learn another language. To that end she has begun leading a Spanish story time for toddlers two Tuesdays a month from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. at the Silver Falls Library.

“Doing this I think could be a good start,” she said. “It’s amazing how much they learn. They’re little sponges.”

Ghio’s story time, already in its second month, is similar to the English version with repetitive songs, games and books. Unlike its counterpart, however, this story time takes place almost exclusively in Spanish with English translations when necessary.

The repetition and simplistic stories and words, so perfect for the infant to four year old emerging speakers, also provides an ideal platform for learning a second language.

Children and their caregivers are introduced to new vocabulary in each half hour session, which

combines with those they know from previous ones. Therefore, no matter how much, or little, Spanish exposure the children already get at home, the class is still very approachable.

“It’s just for anybody – anybody who wants to be immersed in that language,” Ghio explained.

Originally from Argentina Ghio’s father came to Silverton in the 1960s on an exchange program and fell in love with the area, eventually returning with his family in 1990.

“Now we all live here,” Ghio laughed.

Ghio and her husband have spent the majority of their married life living in Portland and Seattle, only recently relocating to Silverton with their two small children, Cecelia, 5 and Mario, 2.

Because Ghio and her husband, Matt Gaitan, are both fluent Spanish speakers they were dismayed upon moving to discover there were no Spanish immersion school programs readily available.

“I missed having a Spanish story time,” she said.

Although Ghio says a program like story time is a good way to introduce young children to another language, she sees it as a stepping stone toward more programs in the future.

“I need to get over my fear of public speaking,” she added, laughing.

Stay home in this weather and let us bring you dinner tonight!

Ghio has already begun volunteering at Park House Preschool, where her daughter attends, and is looking forward to even more education opportunities in the future.

“Considering we live in a world that speaks thousands of languages; being able to share and teach my Spanish speaking skills with the youth in our community will help to better prepare them for being active with other cultures, and nonEnglish speaking people,” she said.

“Being bilingual also opens up many additional opportunities both professionally and builds confidence in traveling abroad.”

The 6th annual Hazelnut Festival returns and the Mount Angel Chamber committee in charge plans to make a nutty experience better than ever.

Hazelnut Festival & German Holiday Market

The annual Mount Angel Hazelnut Fest and German Holiday Market set for Dec. 2 - 3 is the premier event of its kind in Oregon, The festival celebrates one of the Willamette Valley’s largest agricultural crops.

Mount Angel Festhalle 500 S. Wilco Hwy. Saturday, Dec. 2, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 3 / 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Free admission. Door prizes.

The festival’s German Holiday Market features regional arts and crafts, authentic and traditional German Christmas Decorations and Crafts, Oregon wineries and breweries, as well as foods that highlight hazelnuts.

The festival will be held in Mount Angel’s warm and welcoming Festhalle, 500 Wilco Hwy. NE. The festival gets off with a fast start with the “Run For Your Nuts” 5K roadrace/ walk on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 9 a.m.

Runners and Walkers can register at www.racenorthwest.com.

Entertainment includes Joe Szabo – known as the Accordion Man. He will entertain both days. Santa and his helpers will be around to visit with the children on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from noon to 3 p.m.

The event received the Ovation award for “Best New Festival” by the Oregon Festival & Events Association (OFEA).

The OFEA members represent more than 1,200 Festivals & Events in Oregon.

“The history of the Hazelnut in the Willamette Valley of Oregon dates back to the settlement of the valley by early French settlers. Today, more than eight hundred (800) growers are located in Oregon – the prime growing region for hazelnuts in the United States,” Maureen Ernst, co-chair of the event said.

“There were more than 3,000 new acres of hazelnuts planted in 2016 for a total of 60,000 acres and 99 percent of the country’s hazelnuts are grown right here in Oregon.

“Many of the farm families are third- and fourth-generation orchardists, working the same orchards as their pioneering predecessors. They are passionate about protecting the productivity of the land and trees for generations to come,” she added.

“What better way to celebrate the Old World flavor of Mount Angel than with a festival highlighting the hazelnut and the German Holiday Markets.”

Business

A case of serendipity

New jeweler gears up for the holidays

By Melissa Wagoner

Silverton Jewelers

“It’s the Tiffany of Silverton,” a customer of Silverton Jewelers described to a friend.

205 Oak St., Silverton 503-873-6049 www.silvertonjewelers.com

That is how owner Kandy Moody hopes everyone feels when they enter her store. A long-time lover of jewelry and everything creative, Moody first fell in love with adornment when she discovered handcrafted jewelry.

Moody, who began metalsmithing four years ago, quickly realized that she was skilled enough to make it a career but struggled to move on to the next step.

Moody said her most popular pieces are decidedly varied because of the wide selection of jewelry on display but that she does a lot of custom wedding rings.

“I put together a vision board last February,” she said. “I had quit my job and wanted to pursue making jewelry full-time.”

“It was just serendipity,” she said.

Although Moody has made changes, adding a wide selection of unique artisan pieces by Northwest artists

10 • November 2017

Moody’s own inventive style is a mixture of elements from nature and stones. She also likes to incorporate positive messages into her pieces.

“I feel most accomplished if I can create a piece that speaks to my customer through an uplifting or encouraging message, or that reminds them of a special moment or relationship,” she said.

“I love the artistry,” she explained.

Moody said she dreamed of opening a store in her home town of Silverton but due to the costs involved she didn’t think it would ever happen.

Dietetic treats

Sugar-free bakery opens in Mount Angel

By Melissa Wagoner

had come to love and began looking for a 165 East Charles St., turnkey bakery.

Mount Angel Researching 503.994.9249 on Craigslist, sin-ablesweets.com Gadomski stumbled across a listing in Mount Angel. They took a leap of faith and the sale finalized in August, just in time for Oktoberfest.

Sin-able Sweets

Prior to last August Dan Clements and Ray Gadomski never would have imagined they would one day be the proud owners of a dietetic bakery in Mount Angel, far from their home in Boring, but now they can’t imagine doing anything else.

“I guess the biggest thing I’d say is that we’re impressed, pleased and surprised how much the town has supported us,” Gadomski said.

Clements and Gadomski’s journey into opening Sin-able Sweets began back in 2004 when Clements had a gastric bypass surgery that left him unable to eat processed sugar. Fortunately he stumbled upon a bakery in Clackamas, Just Delicious, that served all of the delectable sweets he missed but without the sugar.

Clements was so impressed with the quality of the treats that the couple looked into opening their own franchise location somewhere in the Portland area but the owner’s sudden retirement sent

“There were people in and out all day long,” Clements remembered.

their plans into a tailspin.

“The timing was a little odd – we had just bought our dream house,” Gadomski explained.

Working within a tighter timeline than they had originally planned, they bought the rights to all of the recipes Clements

Clements is head of operations while his son, Joe Franko, does the baking. They have begun producing a whole line of products including muffins, cinnamon rolls and eclairs, all with little or no sugar added. Instead, a small amount of brown sugar, less than one gram, helps with moisture retention while the majority of the sweetness comes from Splenda, a sucralose sugar substitute. The goal is to provide a place for those with diabetes or who are on a low sugar or no sugar diet to still be able to indulge in sweet treats.

“I follow the American Diabetes Association guidelines,” Clements explained.

Both Clements and Gadomski said the best part of their new venture is the customers, especially those who are excited to find sugar-free options.

Clements remembers one customer, a teenage girl, who could barely contain her excitement at finding a birthday cake for her grandfather that he could eat too.

She told Clements, “This is going to be grandpa’s best birthday ever.”

Gadomski and Clements said the support they have felt for their business in Mount Angel has helped them overcome any worries they originally had about the location.

“One of our concerns was that there was a bakery here before and it didn’t make it,” Gadomski said, “but the support from the community is really great. It’s really exciting to see regulars. We can keep our doors open during a lean time because of the community.”

A Navy career

Retired captain shares stories, considers organizing carrier tour

By Steve Ritchie

become a pilot. Initially, he learned to fly T-34 planes and, later, chose to fly the A-3 Skywarrior, the largest carrier-based airplane which was designed as a strategic bomber capable of carrying a nuclear bomb.

Even though he is a veteran, Phil Sowa readily admits he isn’t very interested in participating in Veterans Day parades and the like.

Sowa, who never served in a combat zone, continued to fly for the Navy until 1991, then moved into other roles. He did tours of duty at the Pentagon, the Navy War College, and in London, England. His last tour of duty was heading up Officer Training Programs at Washington State University and the University of Idaho.

But the 70-year-old retired U.S. Navy Captain and Scotts Mills resident is keenly interested in all aspects of the U.S. military, and has a desire to share his unique perspective. Sowa began his Navy career in 1971 as a jet pilot with the rank of an Ensign, and ended it nearly 30 years later as a Four Star Captain. His diverse assignments included commanding Navy ships and squadrons around the world. One doesn’t have to spend long conversing with Sowa to realize that the breadth of military experience and knowledge he possesses is exceptional.

Members of the public will get an opportunity to hear his stories about the Navy Thursday, Nov. 16, 7 p.m. at the Silverton Fire Station, 819 Railroad Ave. N.E. He plans to share some stories of his service, and might address contemporary issues like the recent Navy ship collisions at sea. But, more importantly to him, Sowa hopes to assess whether there is enough interest for him to organize a group tour of the U.S.S. Midway, which is now docked in San Diego and open to the public.

The Midway is one of America’s longest-serving aircraft carriers. Over its active decades, 225,000 sailors served on the ship. The Midway’s website notes that visitors can see more than 60 exhibits and 29 restored aircraft.

Sowa did not serve on the Midway, but he did many tours on other aircraft carriers, including the Coral Sea, his first ship, and, later, the Constellation, America, Nimitz, and Kennedy. He said he looked into a group tour of the Nimitz, which is now in Everett, Wash., but said, “A working carrier is harder to get onto than you think because when they’re in port they are constantly

Retired U.S. Navy Captain Phil Sowa of Scotts Mills.

repairing, training and working on it.

“The Midway is now a museum,” Sowa said. “It’s just a short ride from Lindbergh Field. It has all the basic equipment as other carriers. So it would be wonderful to visit it. That’s the idea of this talk – to see what kind of interest there is. If there are some people who are interested I would be willing to coordinate (a trip) and go down there. They will see where sailors work and live and I can tell them about the conditions, the life and the details they wouldn’t otherwise know about.”

Sowa grew up in the Woodburn area, and attended local schools before entering the Franciscan seminary in the mid-1960s. He earned his bachelor’s degree there, and began studies to become a Catholic priest, but left the seminary before ordination. The next year he joined a Navy Reserve officer candidate program and trained to

“Keeping Basements & Crawl Spaces Dry & Healthy Since 1974”

Sowa retired in 2001 and moved with his wife Joanne to property she inherited outside of Scotts Mills which overlooks Butte Creek. He built the house they live in, and stays busy doing construction projects and volunteer activities, including serving as a firefighter for the Silverton Fire District. Sowa is also an avid reader, devouring military history books as well as lighter “popcorn novels.”

He looks back on his military service with pride, and says he was fortunate to have such a wide-ranging career.

“Maybe I’m prejudiced, but Navy flying is the best job there is. The greatest roller coaster ride there is on the face of the earth. It was really wonderful fun. We went so many places all over the world.

“After we were married in 1971, Joanne figured we would be in the Navy for maybe five years. So many of my peers made a decision not to stay in (the Navy) and went to work as pilots for the airlines. I thought about getting out but I stayed in... Being a Commanding Officer is the king of all jobs. It’s really cool, a lot of responsibility but it’s the best job there is.”

Anyone interested in more information about the Nov. 16 talk, or the possible tour of the Midway, is encouraged to call Sowa at 503-551-5129.

Randy Traeger

Oct. 10, 1957 - Oct. 30, 2017

By Vince Teresi

Serving the Willamette Valley for All Your Real Estate Needs

Coach and Virtue First founder Randy Traeger passed away Oct. 30, 2017 after a long struggle with health issues.

RESIDENTIAL

His passion for football and guiding the character development of young people was ever-present throughout his 38-year Oregon coaching career.

Traeger, a member of Mount Angel’s John F. Kennedy High School graduating class of 1975, came back to lead the Trojans to three state-title games. He was a graduate of Willamette University.

Kennedy High School athletic director Kevin Moffatt recalled the former coach, saying “He exemplified what being a father, grandfather, mentor, teacher, coach and husband should be. The impact he had on the young men of our community can’t be measured in wins and losses. It goes beyond that. He taught our youth how to be good people…how to live with virtues like honesty, sincerity, and humility – traits often lacking in today’s society.

Ask anyone who played ball for him. They might remember the games. But more importantly, they always remember the life-lessons he taught them.”

Coach Traeger was a lifelong resident of Mount Angel, serving as mayor from l986 to l997. He was also a volunteer firefighter and a member of the St. Mary Parish Council. The Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce presented him with its First Citizen Award in 1992.

He served as executive vice president of Traeger Grills and was founder of the Virtue First Foundation, serving as executive director for the past decade.

The foundation’s mission is “Promoting virtue to rebuild the character of America’s youth.” This summer, Virtue First became joined with the National Alliance for Character Development in the mission of uniting and encouraging coaches, teachers, youth ministers, counselors, and mentors to build character in young people. Coach Traeger authored four ‘Virtue First’ books from 2011-15.

Coach Traeger saw significant value in using sports to teach virtue.

“By elevating young athletes to think beyond superficial success and integrating virtues with every aspect of sports, school,

and home life, ‘Virtue First’ believes that a better youth culture can emerge in this country. By focusing on the redemptive power of sports, our programs help kids survive in a toxic culture. Sports were created to provide arenas of social competition where youth can gain life experiences without the threat of real harm or death…a safe place to practice life,” he wrote.

Coach Traeger believed, “While Americans might disagree about a lot of things, including religion and morality, it seems that we are united by a set of ‘socially objective virtues.’ Most adults find the idea of developing virtuous character traits to be naturally appealing.”

His ongoing compassion for others was inspiring even throughout his recent struggles with major health issues.

Coach Randy Traeger’s final resting spot is at Calvary Cemetery in Mount Angel, is not far from Kennedy High School.

He once said that he “…wanted to be as close as possible to the Kennedy football field.” Services were Nov. 10 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mount Angel.

The eldest son of Joe and Kathy Traeger, he is survived by his wife Lynnette and his children, Rylan, Tyson, Simon, Krystal, Nicolle, Derek, and Richard Louie, and 12 grandchildren. He is also survived by his three brothers: Brian, Greg, and Mark Traeger; and sisters Julie Ott, Laura Traeger, Debbie Fessler, and Terese Webb. He was preceded in death by his sister Kimberlee.

Kennedy junior Alejandra Lopez joined Cantu on the podium for the second consecutive year, taking fifth in 19:26.

Lopez also has shown improvement each year, starting with a 19:59 eighth place as a freshman and a 19:28 fifth place last year.

The Trojans scored 123 points to finish fifth as a team.

Velazquez ran her personal best by 36 seconds and finished 29 places higher than a year ago.

No. 1 Mountain View outlasted No. 8 Silverton 46-42 on Friday in the Class 5A semifinals on a cool 36-degree night in Bend. The victory moved the Cougars (11-0) into next weekend’s semifinals.

Silverton finished 7-4 in its first season under coach Josh Craig.

The Foxes led 42-34 heading to the fourth period, but Mountain View pushed across a pair of touchdowns, scoring the game-winner with 57 seconds left.

The Foxes led 35-27 at the end of a topsy-turvy first half that included three touchdown passes from Levi Nielsen to Spencer Clements. Nielsen also added two rushing touchdowns, including a 35-yarder.

Kobe Garcia also scored a TD for the Foxes.

Silverton advanced to the quarterfinals with a 31-14 home win against No. 9 Thurston of Springfield. In perhaps their most impressive half of the season the Foxes blanked the Colts 24-0 and allowed just 54 yards.

Silverton earned four first-team spots on the all-Mid-Willamette-Conference team as voted on by league coaches.

Junior lineman Benjamin Willis earned first-team mention on offense and defense, while also receiving honorable mention as a place-kicker.

Senior Zach Milstead and junior Hunter Meissner were honored twice.

Milstead was a second-teamer in the offensive line and an honorable mention on the defensive line. Meissner was a second-teamer at linebacker and earned honorable mention at running back.

Also earning first team mentions were a pair of seniors, wide receiver Clements and defensive back Colton Meyer.

Also earning honorable mentions were junior quarterback Nielsen and junior linebacker Logan Fergus.

Kennedy, meanwhile, took a 4-6 record into their Class 2A quarterfinal against Monroe/Triangle Lake, which took place after Our Town’s presstime.

The Trojans advanced to the quarters

People Out Loud

Rest in peace I first met “Mr. B” years ago at his produce stand. He was loud, funny, intense, smart, and, most notably, a Beaver fan. Aside from knowing his produce, of course, he just knew stuff.

We could talk about almost anything, and laugh about everything. Darrel Brown passed away Oct. 21, and my condolences go to his wife, Marli, and family.

Remembering some of the best... abundance of veggies. If grandma called to see if you needed any produce, you needed to be VERY specific about how much you’d take. How many of you in here have said, ‘Sure, I could use some cucumbers or lettuce,’ only to be greeted with several bags overflowing with produce?”

“Sample Man.” I’ve commented twice, as if he were there talking with me about the stupid Beavers.

A mainstay at Roth’s for the last few years as the “sample” man, I used to sample things that I was way too familiar with already, (say, apple spice donuts) just to get to hang out with him, bemoan the latest Beaver gridiron tragedy, or subtly make fun of someone we didn’t find amusing. He was the consummate salesman, which made him a perfect sample man. I could walk in after a huge Sunday dinner and he could get me to try and then buy a bag of chips with salsa. I always pretended I had never had such a delicacy before. There is a table in Roth’s at his sample stand today, with cards where his friends and customers can write their thoughts about the iconic

He was a true character, and I was sad to hear we lost him. I will think of him as I check out the zucchinis in the Roth’s produce aisle, watch the Beavers lose another close one, or act like I’ve never tasted a tortilla chip with salsa before at the sample stand. Godspeed, Mr. B. Speaking of produce, Myrna Hess was famous for her immaculate garden, green thumb, and ability to both grow and get rid of prodigious amounts of it. As her granddaughter Molly revealed at Mrs. Hess’ service last month, “A labor of love, their garden always produced an

She was also an incredible seamstress, hand-crafting gorgeous quilts for each of the grandkids, and now their kids snuggle with them as well, including my own granddaughter, Lucy.

Mrs. Hess loved a good joke and could take practical jokes with the best of them.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when her husband of 62 years, Joe, ran into the backyard and screamed, “the cows are out!”

Myrna, with her sense of duty, threw on her rubber boots, cleared the back steps in a single leap, according to “witnesses,” and found Joe doubled over laughing. It was, after all, April Fool’s Day. Later, when she told daughter, Cindy (Hupp) about it, her daughter responded, “Mom,

how? You haven’t even had cows in more than five years!”

My son-in-law, Ethan Hupp, and daughter, Briana, loved Grandma Hess and spending time with her and sharing their daughter, Lucy with this woman who was built for love, family, Easter celebrations with egg hunts, and faith.

She loved her family with a passion, adored her younger sister, Sherry, and her daughter Cindy and son Steve. She loved Joe, as 62 years of marriage will attest.

Myrna Hess passed away unexpectedly just a few short weeks ago, and her service was beautifully done. I was fortunate to meet her a few times and enjoyed her so much. She built a beautiful life with Joe, and gave her best to her entire family. A very organized, faith-driven, and structured person, Myrna, according to son Steve, is in a good place. “God needed some help organizing and she’s up there whipping heaven into shape.”

Rest easy now, Myrna. You had a life well-loved and well-lived.
