Something To Talk About

Celt to Fox

Justin Lieuallen new Silverton High principal

By Kristine Thomas

“I’m anxious to meet the staff and students of Silverton High School as well as parents and community members in the local and surrounding areas,” Lieuallen said. “I look forward to the work and celebrations ahead of us.

Justin Lieuallen will be trading in his blue and white spirit wear for orange and black as he prepares to cheer for the Foxes, rather than the Celts.

The assistant principal at McNary High School in Keizer for 13 years, Lieuallen was named the new principal of Silverton High School, pending approval of the Silver Falls School board on June 13. Our Town went to press before the meeting.

At McNary, Lieuallen, 45, is responsible for curriculum, master schedule, testing, counseling and provides administrative oversight for ELL, AVID and special education programs in the 2,150-student school.

“He brings a host of experiences and skills to Silverton High School,” Silver Falls Superintendent Andy Bellando said.

Before joining the McNary staff, Lieuallen taught science and coached wrestling for six years at Westview High School in the Beaverton School District.

Lieuallen holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Pacific University.

Lieuallen replaces Mark Hannan, who will become principal at Silver Crest Elementary School.

Lieuallen said he was excited when he learned of the opening, and after doing some research on SHS and the district’s Strategic Visioning Plan, he was compelled to apply.

“In addition to seeing an alignment between the district’s beliefs and my own, I also felt that my experiences of growing up in a similar community and having dadadf become very familiar with Silverton’s

When asked what people should know about him, Lieuallen said he’s a family man with rural roots and a strong appreciation for academics, sports, and the arts.

Justin Lieuallen takes over as Silverton High principal July 1

neighbor to the west (Keizer) over the past 13 years, has positioned me to build a robust and enduring relationship with Silverton and its surrounding communities,” Lieuallen said.

Bellando said it was a comprehensive and thorough process to select a new principal for Silverton High, including having the candidates interviewed by a school, community, student and administrative panels. Each panel gave their recommendations to determine the finalists.

“In the end, Lieuallen was chosen for the job,” Bellando said.

The superintendent said Lieuallen is excited to begin this new chapter.

Bellando and Lieuallen are scheduled to visit SHS before June 17 so Lieuallen can meet staff members. He begins the new job July 1.

“I believe it is my duty as a school leader to ensure that our students feel connected to their school and community, have equitable access to the resources we offer and that our staff members are provided the appropriate resources, guidance and support to ensure that our students obtain optimal benefit from their education,” Lieuallen said.

Bellando said Lieuallen brings to Silverton High School extensive experiences as both a teacher and administrator at the high school level.

“He is involved in his community, has led numerous small and large staff improvement practices and comes with high praise from teachers, classified staff members and administrators,” Bellando said. “He is a good communicator and his personality will be a good fit for Silverton High School.”

Lieuallen credits a high school teacher and coach for inspiring him to pursue a career in teaching and coaching.

“He taught me how one person, who is dedicated to supporting students at almost any cost, can make a difference in a teenager’s life,” Lieuallen said.

Offer made on Eugene Field site Less than a week on the real estate market and a buyer has made an offer on Eugene Field Elementary School, 410 N. Water St. On June 1, the Silver Falls School Board of Directors met in executive session for about an hour to discuss the details of the offer. All information discussed in executive session is restricted from being reported by the press.

The board came out of executive session into regular session and Board Chair Tim Roth announced an offer had been submitted on the Eugene Field property.

“The district is beginning negotiations with the prospective buyer,” Roth said.

Built in 1921, the Spanish Mission style one-story property is listed

by Sperry Van Ness in Salem.

According the sales brochure, the property is listed for $1.45 million.

The 35,000 square foot building on 3.46 acres was on the market less than a week before an offer was made.

June 16 will be the last day the Silver Falls School District uses the school, with the kindergarten through second grade students moving to the Mark Twain site, and the sixth to eighth grade students to the Silverton Middle School on Schlador street.

Safety check

Administrators work to keep drugs out of schools

By Kristine Thomas Silverton High School Assistant Principal Jodi Drescher and Kennedy High School Principal Sean Aker are keenly aware of the problem.

On both high school campuses, there have been indications some students are attending school under the influence of an illegal drug or alcohol or selling/buying drugs on campus.

“While it’s here, it’s not overtaking the school,” Drescher said.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst, Drescher rates the drug problem at SHS a 4 to 5, while Aker said the drug problem at KHS is a 3. Both administrators said alcohol and marijuana tend to be what some students are using, along with abuse of prescription drugs.

With the goal of making high school a safe place for everyone, both administrators are taking steps to ensure that happens.

“Students and staff members should not have to worry about someone being under the influence or selling drugs on school grounds,” Drescher said. “I want to make sure that’s not happening.”

On Friday, May 27, the police officers from Keizer, Woodburn, Stayton and Silverton Police departments and Marion County Sheriff’s Office conducted a drug search of Silverton High School. Drescher said the search was prearranged with law enforcement officials, who brought in four drug sniffing dogs. Although the dogs got more than 10 hits – meaning they detected the smell of a drug on an item – no drugs were found on school grounds. Two students, however, reportedly had LSD in their possession, took it and were sent home with their parents.

Drescher said the school resource officer, staff members and herself have noticed suspicious behaviors that are indicative of possible drug use. She said she has observed behavior that indicated drugs were being sold on campus.

Drescher emphasized it is illegal to possess or use drugs on school grounds. With marijuana becoming legal in the state of Oregon, Drescher said the drug is more readily available for students.

“I think the attitude has changed about using marijuana and some students consider using it the same as alcohol,” Drescher said.

What may surprise some community members is the informants are often the students, Drescher said.

“For the most part, kids are pretty honest. They will come to us and report a friend who smells of marijuana,” Drescher said. “They don’t do it to get the person in trouble but they report the problem because they genuinely care about the student.”

Generally, students use drugs to escape the realities of their life or to self-medicate, Drescher said, adding she has seen an increase in anxiety in students.

Drescher said if a student admits to being under the influence of a drug, the student is required to take drug and alcohol assessment.

“We will tell students there are consequences for using at school but the consequences are not the end of the world,” Drescher said. “We work with parents and we ask the student to follow what is set forth on the drug and alcohol assessment.”

Drescher added the assessment is done by an agency such as Bridgeway. The overall goal is to provide the student with the help he or she needs, she added.

A student who admits to being under the influence while on campus will face a suspension, while a student who gets caught for selling or buying drugs on campus will face expulsion, she said.

Drescher said it is across the board on who is using drugs – from freshmen to seniors. “It all depends on who they hang with and who their peer group is,” she said.

JFK Principal Sean Aker said he and his staff look at student behavior and student data to identify trends that may indicate a student is using drugs.

alledged drug use this year.

“Students with whom we've intervened do not seem to think it is a big deal,” Aker said. “They cannot see the long range outcomes of their violations. Students using have reported to self-medicate, indicating dependency.”

Aker said students and staff at JFK care about the wellbeing of one another.

“Although we have a zero tolerance policy and those caught using will be recommended for expulsion, we will continue to provide for the needs of all of our students, in or out of the building,” Aker said.

Signs a student may be using drugs With summer break, both Aker and Drescher said parents need to know where there children are, who they are spending time with, and make clear their expectations on using drugs or alcohol.

If a parent suspects a child is using drugs, Drescher said they should look for a change in behavior that can range from irritability to aggressiveness to lack of motivation.

“Some parents might say, ‘Well, that is every teenager,’ but parents know their children and know if something is off,” Drescher added.

Parents should also look for signs such as a student who has a job but no money or items to show for where money is being spent and a change in peer group.

If parents are concerned their child is using drugs, Aker recommends parents contact their medical professional or Marion County Division of Mental Health. “I would strongly dissuade parents from turning to the Internet or social media, as many times the information obtained is worse-case scenario or general at best,” Aker said.

The more a student feels connected to school, the less likely they are to use drugs, Drescher said.

When he receives a valid report and there is probable cause “Keep your children busy through sports, working, chores a student is using or selling drugs on campus, Aker said and volunteering to avoid giving them idle time,” Aker said. there is a search of all areas pertaining to the situation. For “Be an example,” he added. “Your kids will reflect your the 2015-16 school year, Aker said there have been two Have home toofrent?behaviors, Call us! searches, adding he has dealt with only aafew incidents the bad and the good.”

With the help of a Department of Education School District Collaboration grant, the Mt. Angel School District is addressing these challenges. The district received $127,000 this year, and will get about $100,000 for 2016-17.

Winslow says the district’s goal is student learning and growth. But, she says, there are issues how to achieve and measure growth. “We need to build that shared mission and make sure we are always focused on that,” she said.

The district will begin a strategic planning process in August by involving community members, board members, administrators and teachers with the goal of articulating that “shared mission” and how the district plans to reach its goals.

A district priority is attracting and retaining highly skilled teachers. Too often, Winslow said, teachers leave a smaller district for a larger one or decide to become an administrator. By “empowering” teachers and offering them more autonomy and opportunities, it will help make the Mt. Angel School District a great place to work, she said.

“This is a big shift,” Winslow said. “There has always been a hierarchy of decision makers (in the schools) and there still

ourtownlive.com

Grant benefits MASD is. But at the same time, the teaching profession has changed over the last 10 years in what is expected of teachers.

The administrator role is shifting from being a manager of the school to being an instructional leader for the teachers. So we’re all learning through this process. Too often teacher voices are not brought to the table... they often don’t feel their voices are valued, yet they have so much information about students and how they learn. When we’re all at the table we can get to a deeper level on the issues.”

A key issue is retaining students. The major reasons for leaving appears to be extracurricular and academic concerns.

A recent survey by the grant committee showed that while less than 10 percent of current students and their parents were certain they would not continue in the district through high school, another 15-20 percent were not sure about whether they would stay through four years of high school in Mt. Angel. Many had questions about curriculum at JFK. Winslow said teachers are working to address students’ concerns, as well as misconceptions. Kennedy High School will offer new courses and sports next year – choir, drama, and wrestling and there are discussions about adding swimming and soccer in 2017. MASD Superintendent Troy Stoops is excited about the potential of the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program to strengthen academic achievement in the district.

“We piloted the AVID program (for 10th graders) at the high school this year,” Stoops said. “Next year we are expanding it into 9th and 11th grades. Kennedy received a Nike Innovation Grant for $20,894 to train staff and implement the program.”

He said the grant and AVID are aligned to benefit the district’s three schools.

According to its website, AVID trains educators to use proven, research-based practices in order to prepare students for success in high school, college and a career.

“AVID’s mission is closing the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society,” Stoops said. Implementing this program aligns with our current goals and programs.” He also notes 20 teachers and district staffers will be attending the AVID summer institute in July.

Aligned

Silverton Health, Legacy joined forces on June 1

By Kristine Thomas It’s one example of how the alignment between Silverton Health and Legacy Health will benefit its patients.

Legacy Silverton Medical Center President Sarah Fronza shared how a baby was recently born prematurely in Silverton. Although it was a successful delivery, the baby needed extra care.

A call was made to Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, where the infant was taken.

“Our commitment is to take care of our patients in our community,” Fronza said.

“The advantage is we now have partners who we can work with if our patients need additional care. This baby was best served at Randall Children’s Hospital.”

And that is one of the reasons the alignment between Silverton Health and Legacy Health took place – so both can have the resources and the staff to provide patients with the best possible medical care.

The name may have changed slightly, but the vision, mission and dedication to Silverton and surrounding communities will remain the same, she added.

On June 1, Silverton Health became Legacy Silverton Medical Center, the seventh of Legacy Health’s medical centers and the only one in Marion County. All of Silverton Health clinics and facilities and its employees are now part of Legacy Health.

A sweet thank you To say thank you and celebrate the partnering with Legacy Health, the Silverton Health Governing Board decided to do something special for the Silverton community.

They will be serving free strawberry delight with biscuits, ice cream and strawberries, as long as supplies last.

A tradition since 1951, the Silverton Hills Strawberry Festival is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 19 – Father’s Day – at Coolidge -McClaine City Park.

Bring a picnic and enjoy free music, visit the crafts fair or purchase a meal from the Wooden Nickel.

503-873-5615 for information With Legacy since 2009, Newcomb has a long and varied career as a physician and administrator.

Newcomb and Fronza spent June 1 meeting with employees at Legacy Silverton and June 2 at the Woodburn clinic. At both locations, they were met by employees who are excited for the change.

“Silverton Health is its people,” Fronza said. “Our community will benefit from a strong partnership.”

Newcomb said sometimes when two health care organizations align, it takes some work to be on the same page. That isn’t the case with Legacy and Silverton Health, he said.

Fronza met with Mike Newcomb, D.O. and Legacy’s chief operating officer.

“We have the same culture,” he said.

“Most affiliations do not go this smoothly.

Legacy’s Chief Operating Officer Mike Newcomb, D.O.. and Legacy Silverton Medical Center President Sarah Fronza met with Legacy Silverton Medical Center employees on June 1.

For us it has because we have been on the same page from the first meeting.”

One of the main reasons the transition has gone well, Fronza said, is because there is a cultural compatibility.

“There is an incredible synergy to come together and make things better for our patients.”

Legacy has pledged to invest $60 million into ongoing and growing programs and services for Silverton.

By James Day The Oregon Garden Brewfest is moving to the forest for its12th celebration of beer.

All of the beer, food, music, crafts and fun will be headquartered in the Rediscovery Forest instead of the Schmidt Pavilion.

“We have really outgrown the building that has hosted the event for the last 11 years,” said Sara Hammond, regional marketing manager for The Oregon Garden. “Last year, we changed our dates from April to June so that attendees could experience the garden in full bloom, and we wanted to continue that focus on our unique and gorgeous venue.

“When looking for a new location, the Rediscovery Forest was the obvious choice.”

One scoop at a time ...

One of the Silverton area’s iconic events, the Silverton Hills Strawberry Festival happens this Sunday, June 19 in Coolidge - McClaine Park. What is special this year is that another local icon, Silverton Health, has volunteered to buy your strawberry treat as a thank you during their transition to the Legacy Silverton Medical Center.

Yep, you heard right, the strawberry shortcake is FREE (while supplies last) and the nice folks up on the hill pick up the tab…. What a sweet deal!

Also this weekend is the bonanza of brews, the festival of foam, the hullabaloo of hops, otherwise known as The Oregon Garden Brewfest. This year’s event will take more advantage of the outdoorsy feel of the Garden as it moves up into the Rediscovery Forest. The same great music, entertainment and food will be a part of the three-day event and if you’re there on Friday night, The Man and Manette will be “man”ning the taps…..

Stop by and say “Hey”…. or look next door for all the info....

Didja see that news story about how America’s super sophisticated nuclear weapons program is controlled by computers so old they use floppy disks?.... And not those new fangled 5 1/4” disks, we’re talkin the full 8 inch variety (look it up youngsters). The thought that the system that controls the well-being of the entire world is using the same era of technology that brought us the Yugo (look that up too, youngin’s) is a little “concerning” but never fear, the gov’ment says upgrades are on the way…. Just as soon as they get around to responding to one of those annoying Windows 10 offers….

These days lots of people reach the ripe old age of 70…. But not many celebrate by swimming nonstop for a mile like Dennis Downey did last week…. Not bad for an old fart…

Congratulations to Dr. Kiersten Eagles over at Silverton Eye Care who was recently named Young Optometrist of the Year by the

Our Town Life

American Optometrist Association….

The Man bets she didn’t see that coming….

As most of you know by now, Silverton came in a close second to Wabash, Indiana in a competition for $500,000 in business and downtown revitalization money. What you may not know is that since winning, our new found friends to the east have gone out of their way to spend money online at several Silverton retailers, sent a box of shirts, promotional materials and a several checks to support the free community dinner program at the First Christian Church.

A lot of our people put a lot of effort into winning this contest and it was very disappointing to not come out on top but if we were gonna lose at least we came away with a nice dose of Hoosier Hospitality.

If you attended this year’s somewhat soggy Pet Parade you might have noticed someone was missing…. and if you looked closer you will have found they weren’t really missing at all. Right there in the passenger seat of a pickup at the end of the parade with his typical big smile sat State Rep Vic Gilliam. He may have been unable to perform his usual role as Chief Pooper Scooper but Vic was there, doing what he could to support the community.

If you haven’t already, take a moment to go online and watch KATU’s Steve Dunn’s interview with Vic about facing the challenges of living with ALS with courage and humor…. Pretty inspirational stuff….

See you on the street...

Ground breaking

Turf project begins at McGinnis Field

“It’s a proud day in Silverton,” Foxes Athletic Director Greg Kaatz said June 6 as excavators and bulldozers began carving up the grass field surface at McGinnis Field on the Schlador Street campus.

with St. Paul and Regis in the Tri-River with a dramatic 8-7 win on the final day of the regular season, entered the 2A-1A playoffs with the No. 12 seed.

But Kennedy went on the road and upset No. 6 Reedsport 8-6 in the round of 16. The Trojans were defeated 12-3 by Irrigon in the quarterfinals.

All week a steady stream of dump trucks rumbled into the construction site empty and left groaning under the weight of the grass and dirt scooped up by a bulldozer and excavator under sunny skies.

The project will replace the grass at the football field with an artificial surface that will allow for more school and community use of the facility and give the football team the opportunity to avoid practicing in the mud when the weather turns wet in the fall.

Campaign organizers, led by the Fox Foundation and a plethora of donors of cash, labor, materials and equipment, hope to have the facility ready to go by August.

The first scheduled event is a junior varsity football game vs. Sandy on Thursday, Sept. 1. The varsity team opens on the road at Sandy, with the first varsity home game on the new surface set for Sept. 9 vs. Redmond.

Softball: Kennedy High put on a strong run in the Class 2A-1A softball tournament. The fifth-seeded Trojans, who were a perfect 10-0 in the Tri-River Conference, advanced to the semifinals before falling 14-4 in five innings against eventual state champion Pilot Rock/ Nixyaawii.

Along the way Kennedy blanked No. 12 Monroe 5-0 in a home game in the round of 16 before going on the

Kennedy, which has won or shared the league title in five of the past six years, placed seven players on the all-TriRiver Conference team. Pitcher Johnny Inoue, catcher Jack Suing, infielder Brett Traeger and outfielder Tom Schmidt made the first team, with first baseman Dylan Arritola, infielder Owen Seiler and outfielder Elisha Valladares claiming second-team spots. road to Drain to down No. 4 North Douglas 9-1 in the quarterfinals. Kennedy finished 18-6 overall and won its first league title since the Trojans ran off three in a row from 2007-09.

Silverton’s softball team, meanwhile, faced an eerily similar playoff schedule to last season. The Foxes, who tied Dallas for second in the Mid-Willamette Conference with a 12-6 record, earned a bye through the play-in round before downing Hillsboro 2-0 in the round of 16.

Silverton then fell 11-0 at Pendleton in the quarterfinals.

Last season the MWC-champion Foxes ousted Hillsboro in the quarterfinals before losing to Pendleton in the semis.

Silverton finished 18-10 overall, with six of the losses to teams that made the final four (Lebanon, Marist Catholic and Pendleton). The Foxes placed two sophomores on the Class 5A all-state team, shortstop Maggie Buckholz and catcher Maggie Roth.

Baseball: The Kennedy baseball team also made a nice playoffs run. The Trojans, who forced a three-way tie

In addition, Kevin Moffatt of the Trojans shared league coach of the year honors with Don Heuberger of Regis and Julio Vela of St. Paul.

Solo music: Silverton’s Marah Christenson took first place in flute at the OSAA championships at Pacific University in Forest Grove. Christenson was credited with 968 points, 16 more than runner-up Kaitlyn Clawson of South Salem.

Marching Band - The Silverton High School Marching Band finished the year with a star shining performance.

The marching band particpated in the Starlight Parade, part of the Portland Rose Festial, and earned second place in the marching band parade category, guaranting it a spot in the 2017 Starlight Parade. Dressed in their new uniforms, the band marched more than 2 milles and played before more than 350,000 people. The Silverton High School Dance team led the band.

Eating local

By Melissa Wagoner Ten years ago, pain was an everyday part of Kristin Aalbue’s life.

“Everything hurt all the time,” Aalbue said.

Kristin, who moved to Silverton from Washington 10 years ago, is a jack-ofall trades; working as a receptionist for Moonstone Spa, cleaning houses and writing and illustrating a series of graphic novels for children called The Happy Undead Friends.

Seeking a way to eliminate pain from her busy life, Aalbue started slowly altering her lifestyle.

“I began stretching. I started to feel less pain. I liked it,” Aalbue said. “I wanted to find other ways. I began yoga. I got massages. I drank water. I felt better. I started walking everywhere. I felt less pain.”

Around this same time Aalbue started shooting a documentary about pain for a student film.

“The more I talked to practitioners and doctors and chronic pain sufferers, the more I realized the link to food. Food had been the one area I had not really paid much attention as it was never about weight loss, just about pain reduction. I had never known about anti-inflammatory this or cleansing that. I just knew how to make really tasty food,” she said.

Aalbue has spent the last 20 years cooking professionally in bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants so she knew how to make a meal, for her it was making healing food that became the real challenge.

“Once I began to understand the link between what we eat and how our body functions, I decided to start eating consciously,” she said.

To be more in control of the food she ate Aalbue set a goal for herself; to work toward a 100 percent local diet.

“This does not mean that I don’t sometimes get the horrible bacon or the margarita mix with the HFCS, [high fructose corn syrup] it means that everything I pick up that will go into my body, deserves a moment of consideration. It has definitely been a process of getting to understand what is good and bad for my own system,” she explained.

Aalbue has been working on a locally

Pain relief one goal sourced diet for the past three years, increasing her target amount by 10 percent every year. The start date is always the first day of the Silverton Farmer’s Market in spring and the end comes on the last day in the fall.

“With the eventual introduction of the Silverton Co-op, I intend to be 100 percent local within three years,” she said.

Aalbue admits eating local can get expensive, but she has learned a few tricks to offset the costs. She grows many of her own herbs and vegetables. She also plans her weekly meals around what she finds at each week’s farmer’s market.

“I am much more reverent of the food that I eat,” Aalbue explained. “I use every scrap that is left over in the stock pot.”

The extra planning and expense has been worth it. Aalbue who has seen an increase in her overall health during the past three years.

“I have only gone down about 10 pounds in the last year, but my increase in energy, strength and almost total relief of pain have been the true milestone by which I measure my personal success,” she said.

Aalbue has also noticed a sharp decrease in the number of migraines she experiences.

“The most exciting discovery for me in the whole process was the link I was able to make between eating anything with MSG in it and migraines,” she said.

“Through listening to my system, tracking what aberrant foods I ate and noting any correlation in migraines, I was able to discover the connection myself. After eliminating it from my diet, I have gone from having eight to 10 migraines a year down to just a few in the last few years.”

Feeling better physically has helped Aalbue stay motivated to make these dietary changes, but it has not always been easy. She suggests that anyone interested in following a similar eating plan take things slow, especially at first.

Aalbue finds the act of shopping at the farmer’s market a motivating factor. She enjoys buying from local vendors and has made friends along the way.

“The more I can support local business, the more I can eliminate my carbon foot print, the more I can eat amazing food and feel amazing, the more happy I will be,” she said. “Every little decision counts.

Change one, change your world.”

People Out Loud

Fathers’ days

Unsolicited advice from an experienced dad gone when they don’t; and remain in the shadows because you know they are going to need you any moment and they just don’t recognize it yet. It means teaching them life lessons by example and learning life lessons by letting them make their own mistakes as long as it does not involve juggling knives at the preschool talent show.

With Father’s Day around the corner, that means family gatherings, soaking up rays (hopefully not the 100 degree kind), my mouth salivating over a smoked brisket on the Traeger and reflecting on fatherhood and children.

Being a father has been an incredible journey. There are several friends and family members becoming parents for the first time this year and it just made sense to impart some pearls of wisdom, warnings and free yet unsolicited advice from a father with 25 years of experience.

Someone once told me, “Children are the most selfish creatures God ever put on this earth. Once you understand this and learn to deal with it, it gets easier.”

Babies cry because they are hungry; cry because they are tired; cry because they are dragging around a 9-pound diaper; cry because your five o’clock shadow is like coarse sandpaper; and cry because they don’t want to go to bed or because you put them there instead of letting them entertain your friends with baby tricks. They will laugh because someone they love makes funny sounds.

day. It will take years until they develop social filters like keeping projectile vomiting to themselves or not breaking eye-glasses with piercing screams in a serene restaurant.

Being a father means seeing the same dance recital five nights in a row in a hot gym and gushing that each performance was better than the last. It means celebrating a 3-pointer that almost made it to the hoop just like it was the game-clinching NBA Finals shot in LeBron James’ face.

When they are hungry, they want to eat NOW. When their diapers are full of unpleasantnesses, they want a new one NOW, or better yet, prefer to run around naked when someone who loves them gives chase.

It means pretending you understand modern math and advanced statistics because you took it 30 years ago (and got a “10” on your first test). And then it means paying for a tutor who actually does understand it.

They have yet to pick up subtle clues like you had a rotten

Being a dad means you are there when they need you;

It means letting them learn the pain of being dumped, and the relief of a soft landing in dad’s waiting arms with his promise to harm the evil-doer. It means not saying “I told you so” when the brick-weighted paper airplane doesn’t clear the couch, and saying “I told you so” when they get a “B” in a class they were sure they would fail. It means cursing quietly on Christmas Eve as you assemble a 497-piece bicycle at 2 a.m. because they are going to want to ride it.

It means holding your breath and praying in your head when a late night call comes in, because late night calls seldom deliver glad tidings. It means doing the right thing when they are looking and when they aren’t, because they probably were and you just didn’t know it.

Being a dad means saying “I hate what you did but will always love you.” It means loving their mother, because they see, hear, learn and feel what love is and isn’t. If you are a first-time dad, be a good one. If you are a good dad, be a better one. And if you are an awesome dad, enjoy the brisket!
