Oh my, and the faces. Many far older, wiser -- in the midst of that sea -- with walkers, wheelchairs and canes. How brave. How committed! Here a grayhaired daughter next to frail, sharp-eyed octogenarian. There a painfully thin gentleman, a steadying hand on his arm.

How could they possibly manage in the swirl? But they were there to be counted.

There where strollers and babes. Tykes and preteens hoisted on the shoulders of papas or siblings or... friends.

Friendship permeated the day. Women with friends of a lifetime. Streams of people linked hand-in-hand with those they loved -- or those they knew.

Strangers sharing kindness and concern.

Intersectional? Over the next few hours intersectional took on meaning. From the Women’s March policy platform: Gender justice is racial justice is economic justice.

The march was not about one thing OR another. It was about all these things together. The impact of injustice on any individual is magnified or minimized according to their gender, race, and economic security. Of course! And yet for most of my life I’ve seen these as singular issues, to be challenged at different times.

You get a second opinion on your health… why not on your wealth?

One sign, just as we were headed in, gave me pause: If my feminism is not intersectional it is bull- - - -!

I’ve never seen so many people – so many positive and resolute people. So many pink hats. So many pointed, poignant, funny, inspirational, heartfelt, fierce signs.

Something To Talk About

A display of democracy

Women’s March participants share stories

human and equal rights.

Christine Chorazy joined the Women’s March in Portland to show her daughters and son that sometimes it is necessary to “go outside your comfort zone to stand up, and try and change something you cannot tolerate.”

“We don’t think that turning the clocks back will ‘Make America Great Again.’ This is why I marched,” she said.

Although the weather was rainy and cold in Portland, it didn’t dampen the spirits of several participants who shared they were inspired by the colorful signs, the pink hats, the kindness of fellow marchers and the songs.

Ann Altman traveled to the Women’s March in Washington D.C. to vocalize with others to the new president and his administration that an atmosphere of fear and hatred is not acceptable.

Altman said the most emotional time for her was walking on the street heading to the National Mall where she joined thousands of people of “all descriptions.”

Randi Embree marched in Salem with a friend, and ran into several other friends along the way. She marched because she has a 1-year-old granddaughter.

“The words I’ve heard the new president speak and his actions make me afraid for her future,” Embree said. “I grabbed a pink hat and marched because it was the joyful, patriotic thing to do.”

On Saturday, Jan. 21, the three Silverton women joined with an estimated 3 million people who marched in 500 U.S. cities and more than 100 cities worldwide. The participants marched to oppose or voice concerns about President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Laura Majuri marched in Portland with her 33-year-old daughter. She has friends from Silverton who marched in Washington D.C., Honolulu, Atlanta, Seattle, Tucson,

Silverton resident Ann Altman and her sister, Eileen, attended the Women’s March in Washington D.C.

Salem and San Pacho, Mexico.

“To know that we were all part of this historical moment at the same time in different cities was a truly exhilarating feeling of solidarity,” Majuri said.

People marched, she said, because they feel an urgency to protect and preserve the accomplishments made in

“It made me both happy and sad,” Altman said of seeing all the participants. “Happy to be among a group of passionate people willing to put themselves out there for their views and sad that this country has gotten to such a place where so many felt that was necessary.”

Altman said the march was mostly billed as a stand for women’s rights, but she was there for more than that.

Her sign read “Prove us wrong: show respect, tell the truth, lead by example.”

“People across the board have been insulted, women particularly, I guess, but certainly immigrants and Muslims also, threatened and lied to,” Altman said.

“I think that the marches here, across the country and all over the world made a strong statement that the

atmosphere of fear and hatred is not acceptable.”

Aylene Geringer said she was enthralled with the diversity of the crowd, their imaginative signs, their civility and “their conviction to be heard and to express their fear of what may happen if people remain silent.”

Dave Duncan of Mount Angel had planned to march until he got bronchitis. He wanted to participate to protect the future of his three young granddaughters.

“It has been exciting and enlightening to watch these young ones grow physically and mentally,” Duncan said. “Hopefully, they will become adults in a society of equal rights, equal protection, equal pay, freedom of speech and freedom of choice. They are very bright kids, kids that could really contribute. So I will be taking steps to secure a just society where they can achieve their full potential.”

Chorazy marched with her husband to show together they have strength to defend what they believe.

She marched for people whose ethnicity is different than hers to let them know she stands with them and wants them to enjoy a good life for their families. She marched for the environment and because she is concerned the current president is “bent on destroying pieces of it.”

Marching is one of the many rights Chorazy has and respects as an American, including to “use my voice to demonstrate against a president that doesn’t represent me. I march with hope, that together, as like minded people, the movement will only continue to build momentum.”

Jennifer Hill of Mount Angel attended the march with her 10-year-old daughter, Sailor. “I went to show my daughter that silence is not an option. That respect is a human right and peaceful marching together gives us unity and a platform to make change happen,” Hill said.

Silverton resident Frances McCarty, 63, crammed into a car with five other women to spend hours in the cold and rain in downtown Portland. She and her friends are concerned about the direction the country is moving.

“Our democracy allows us to stand up for what we feel is important. The basic belief that equality is a right for all citizens despite race, religion, or gender association is not a presidential protest but a fight for fellow citizens,” Hill added. “What an amazing, unforgettable experience for us both.”

“It is not about Democrat versus Republican or whining about losing the election,” McCarty said. “It goes to the question about what we value in our country. I value children, protecting the disabled and elderly, our government providing for our health and safety, all the things that are part of a civilized society.”

Elyse McGowan-Kidd said she felt it was a privilege to march and was thankful to be surrounded by like minded people. Before she even started the march in Salem, she was crying and did so on and off the entire walk.

What brought many of the participants joy and hope was how despite the large crowd size – an estimated 100,000 people in Portland – each march was peaceful.

Sharing the participants in Portland’s march were jubilant to be able to express their concerns, McCarty said a functional democracy has opposing views that debate issues and develop different ideas and policies.

“However, they start by agreeing on information, data and facts,” she said. “If facts themselves are disputed because they are somehow viewed as liberal or biased, that concerns me.”

The City will provide information here each month on important topics. Upcoming agenda items are subject to change.

“But the preparation for the march and the continued civil awareness is the real key to what the march means to me. I have learned more, heard more, been corrected more and checked my privilege more than I ever have. I hope it continues.”

“We cannot gloss over the fact that we had optimal conditions. We were allowed to march peacefully.

Without the police in our faces or showing any sort of aggression. Nobody was shouting, nobody was shooting and nobody was arrested,” she said.

Something To Talk About

United in respect

By Kristine Thomas They could easily have been divided by political parties, or political preferences, or by peer groups are at school.

Instead the 15 Silverton High School students who spent a week in Washington D.C. touring historical sights and attending the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump were united in celebrating “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” and seeing firsthand the history of their country.

For many of the students it was their first visit to Washington D.C. While there they met U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch from Utah; attended a symphony at the Kennedy Center; and visited the Smithsonian American History Museum, Ford’s Theater, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the Pentagon 9-11 Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Library of Congress, U.S. Holocaust Museum, and other sights.

The highlight of the trip was attending the inauguration.

“We didn’t want this trip to be a political trip,” said teacher Kirsten Barnes who teaches history and organized the trip. “Our focus was on the history and celebrating the peaceful transition of power.”

A Trump supporter, Jared Johnson agrees the trip was about celebrating the country’s history. He encourages

Silverton High students visit D.C., attend inauguration

those who didn’t support Trump to stop expecting he is going to do “bad things for the country.” Too many people, he added, are focused on the negative. “Nothing good can come out of expecting the new leader to do bad,” he said.

Several of the students said it was amazing to see the places they have studied about in U.S. History class and to witness the peaceful changing of power.

A fan of the musical Hamilton, Natalie Muller appreciated visiting a city “full of history.”

She said she didn’t support Trump for president, however Jessica Lundquist did.

“Spending time there helped broaden our views,” Muller said. “During the inauguration, I started crying and Jessica was standing behind me and put her hard on my arm and told me “it’s OK.” I will remember that forever.

It proves it doesn’t matter what you believe in, that people will still support you.”

What surprised Rosie Riley was when people booed or yelled negative words when Democrat leaders were announced such as Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York. She and her classmates thought regardless of political ideology everyone should be treated respectful at the historical ceremony.

“I was taught that even though you disagree with someone that you should respect their views and what they stand for,” Riley said.

Barnes shared how when people in their section at the inauguration started booing, others started clapping louder to drown them out. She noticed how the students paid attention to what was happening and what was being said at the inauguration.

A highlight for Taylor Jones was meeting Sen. Wyden.

“He shared with us that his goal was to play for the NBA and that didn’t work out,” Jones said. “He said he set out for one thing and ended up in the opposite direction. He told us when one plan fails, that Plan B could be better than the first one.”

Barnes said the students enjoyed the jovial exchange between Wyden, a Democrat, and Hatch, a Republican, who were both delighted to see the students and talked with them for about 30 minutes.

Lundquist said the inauguration was not what she expected. “The transfer of power in our country is more complex and has more steps than I thought,” she said.

“We got to see the origins of our country.”

Adam Bischoff added he wasn’t expecting different religious leaders to speak at the inauguration.

Teacher Kirsten Barnes organized a trip to Washington D.C. for Silverton High students. They were able to attend the inauguration and visit historical sights. The students are standing before the inaugural stage in front of the U.S. Capitol.

“We learn about wars and the numbers of people who died in books, but seeing all those graves leaves you with a deeper meaning,” Snook said.

When they were leaving to return to Oregon, Jocelyn Brown said they saw the people who would be participating in the Women’s March in Washington D.C. She said attending the inauguration and seeing the marchers was a representation of what democracy is, people coming together to support what they believe in.

Riley said other people could learn a great deal from their group. “People could learn to come together and respect each other and be friends,” she said.

Ashley Kuenzi added regardless if a person is Democrat or Republican, it’s possible to find common ground. “We got to see what we learned in history and we all had an appreciation for the history,” she said.

Kiara Snook said knowing that Barnes has taken students on the trip before made it enjoyable because she knew what to do and where to go. Visiting Arlington National Cemetery was eyeopening, she added.

Heart disease is preventable for both men and women, especially if they take some simple steps. February is American Heart Month with Feb. 3 being National Wear Red Day, to raise heart disease awareness.

Lyver said there are signs and symptoms people should pay attention to and then trust their instincts enough to seek help.

“Too often, women feel pain in their shoulders or arms or have indigestion and wonder what they did to cause that,” Keudell said, adding women tend to think they may have pulled a muscle or ate something they shouldn’t have.

Being extremely tired is another sign of having a heart attack, Lyver said. “And women explain that away because what woman isn’t tired.”

“When women are experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, I don’t think the first thing they think is something is wrong with their heart health,” Keudell said.

Lyver added because women are normally the primary caregivers, they too often think they can’t be sick, so often ignore signs of a heart attack.

The reality is one woman is killed by heart disease and stroke every 80 seconds, according to the American Heart Association.

Happy New Year!

Schedule a visit with your doctor to talk about heart health.

Add exercise to your daily routine.

Start off the month by walking 15 minutes, 3 times each week. By midmonth, increase your time to 30 minutes, 3 times each week.

Increase healthy eating. Cook heart-healthy meals at home at least three times each week.

Take steps to quit smoking.

Quitting can cut your risk for heart disease and stroke.

For more from the CDC, visit www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/ For both men and women, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Center for Disease Control.

The five heart attack risk factors are: hypertension or high blood pressure; pre-diabetic or diabetic; smoking; high cholesterol; and, a family history of heart disease.

The risk factors for men having a heart attack increases after a man reaches 50.

For women, it’s 60 years of age, Lyver and Keudell said.

Since men and women generally experience pain differently, it’s more common for a man to have noticeable signs of a heart attack, including chest discomfort, discomfort in other areas of the upper body and shortness of

breath, according to the American Heart Association.

The most common symptom for women having a heart attack is chest pain and discomfort, but women are more likely than men to experience other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea/ vomiting and back or jaw pain, according to the American Heart Association.

Lyver said it’s important to note that the symptoms depend on the person and if in doubt, it’s best to seek help. It’s even more important to take preventative measures, both women said.

Eight percent of deaths caused by heart disease can be prevented with education and action. That’s where Lyver and Keudell step in with advice on healthy eating, quitting smoking, exercising and finding ways to relieve stress.

It begins, they both said, with making a commitment to having a healthy lifestyle and making small changes.

Sleep is something both women and men tend to get too little of, Keudell said.

“It’s recommended you sleep seven to eight hours a night,” Keudell said, adding she knows women who function on four hours of sleep.

Lyver recommends people schedule time to exercise just as they schedule their work meetings and other events.

“It starts with putting yourself and your health first,” Lyver said. “It needs to be a priority.”

Lyver said it is important when making lifestyle changes to make the goals reachable.

Keudell has worked with patients who

couldn’t walk more than a few minutes before breathing heavily. She suggests to people who haven’t exercised to start slow by walking five minutes, then gradually adding more time.

Nancy Campbell, MPAS, PA-C, emphasized the importance of people talking to their primary care provider about any of their health concerns.

“Don’t be afraid to talk to your provider or be embarrassed to share your concerns,” Campbell said. “The more information your provider has the more she can help.”

Campbell said each of us has a personal responsibility for our body and its care.

By people visiting their care provider, they can have test taken for their cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index (BMI). Knowing these numbers can help women and their healthcare provider determine their risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

Lyver said stress can play a factor in heart health. “We all have stress but we often don’t have healthy ways of handling it,” she said.

Keudell added people often deal with stress by drinking alcohol, smoking or unhealthy eating habits.

Acknowledging even thinking about all the steps to be healthy can be overwhelming, Keudell recommends starting with just one thing and setting a reachable goal.

And if you have a bad day, Lyver said, start again the next day.

“Think about the things in life that are really important to you and that you are passionate about,” Lyver said. “If you want to continue to do those things, then you need to take care of yourself.”

Live Local

By Melissa Wagoner When asked where they are from, Josh and Elisha Nightingale look at each other and laugh. The couple has lived in many different places over the years but they agree that Silverton is finally home.

Owners of Silver Creek Coffee House in downtown Silverton, Josh recently left his full-time career as a manager for Safeway to open another venture, Live Local Marketplace, in the empty retail space right next door to the coffee house.

The Nightingales had recently joined the Silverton Food Co-op and that got them to thinking.

“How can we bring everything together and at the same time get something here locally,” Josh said.

What emerged was the idea of a launchpad for the co-op, which has been working toward a brick and mortar location, but also a low cost way for artisans in the area to market their goods.

Marketplace to feature locally made food, items in downtown location Live Local Marketplace Opening Friday, Feb. 3, 6 - 9 p.m.

107 N. Water St., Silverton Featuring food from Chef Paul Lieggi of the Mount Angel Abbey and Bon Apetite, fresh bread from Silver Falls Bread Co., and wine tasting from Abiqua Wind Vineyard. livelocalsilverton@gmail.com “The Live Local Marketplace will offer locally made products from a variety of vendors, including wine and beer, handmade furniture and clothing, and a variety of other hand-crafted products from Silverton, Mount Angel, and Scotts Mills,” co-op representative Hilary Dumitrescu said.

“If every owner commits to spending just $20 a month at the co-op, we will pay our rent and have money left over to invest in

growing the co-op.”

Although the co-op is currently the main partnership in the Live Local Marketplace and will be renting half of the space, with Josh as manager, both Josh and the co-op agree this is just a stepping stone.

“Our hope is that having that daily downtown exposure will help to grow our ownership base, and grow us right out of Live Local and into our own store, very soon,” Dumitrescu said.

This forward momentum is what Josh hopes for all of his vendors and future partners.

“My overall mission is really to start a whole bunch of businesses in Silverton, one of them is the co-op. My dream is to have four or five other business owners in downtown that started here.”

The Live Local Marketplace is currently hosting 15 vendors but plans to continually receive new ideas.

“Anything that you would be proud to make and sell,” Josh said.

Vendors will be selling on commission, but the store will not be set up in stalls as is common with other commissionbased sales models. Instead it will cross merchandize.

“We want things to kind of fit the building and fit with the flow of the store,” Josh said.

Although the products sold at Live Local Marketplace may be a higher price point than at other stores, most of the money will go straight to the producers, cutting out the middle man. Displays will feature creator biographies, letting buyers know a little bit about where the products originate.

“You’ll know exactly where your food comes from – any product – comes from,” Josh said.

“It’s a friendly, personal, local shopping experience,” Elisha added.

Something to celebrate

Give your best

SHS senior Megan Mannion selected Future First Citizen

By Kristine Thomas

given a task, she shows she cares about the students who are working with her and the task, both keys to getting something done.”

Silverton High School senior Megan Mannion clearly followed the advice given to her by her parents, John and Inga Mannion.

SHS School Counselor Stacy White describes Megan as a “valued and compassionate leader.”

Whether it’s competing on the volleyball court or softball field, organizing an event for the Associated Student Body, studying to keep a 4.0 grade point average or working at Roth’s Grocery Store, Megan said her parents taught her that she is a reflection of everything she does.

“They told all four of us kids that whatever we do, we need to do to the best of our ability. I pride myself on giving my best to everything I do,” Megan said.

For doing just that, Megan is the Silverton Chamber of Commerce 2016 Future First Citizen. Genuinely surprised by the honor, Megan credits her family and ASB teachers Johnie Ferro and Heather Bashor for their support. She considers Ferro and Bashor as role models.

“They put in so much extra time and do

“Megan can often be seen connecting with students from all social, academic and interest groups,” White wrote in a letter.

so much behind the scenes that when I see them working so hard, it makes me want to help out even more,” Megan said.

A quote by H. Jackson Brown on the white board of Bashor’s classroom reads, “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

That quote, Bashor said, applies to Megan.

“She is an intelligent, motivated young lady who works hards and is kind to everyone,” Bashor said. “When Megan is

“She has continued to build a positive school culture through her commitment and action to promote values like acceptance, tolerance and compassion toward others.”

SHS English Teacher Grant Piros said Megan is a leader on and off the field.

“It is evident in seeing her around her teammates that they trust and lean on her when things get tough,” Piros wrote. “In each of these roles, she is ‘all-in,’ involved with passion and focus that is impressive for a student with such a full slate of activities.”

Silverton Rotarian Janet Dalisky has worked with Megan on several projects, including the Daddy Daughter Dance, Silverton Strawberry Festival and Homer Davenport Days. “I have the privilege of working with Megan through the Interact Club. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does,” Dalisky said.

“Megan is motivated, hard working, responsible, committed and most of all thoughtful. She has gained the respect and trust of her peers. Megan is an impressive individual and very deserving of this award.”

SHS math teacher Tom Steers said Megan is a highly motivated and goal oriented person who strives to do her best.

“I believe Megan is going to do something extraordinary with her life,” Steers wrote.

“She doesn’t know what it is yet, but it will involve working with people in some way and I have no doubt that she will excel and that our society will be improved by it. She is both a reflection of her family’s values and of her unique personality.”

Brush Creek presents MISadventures

By Nancy Jennings The spotlight will be shining and the popcorn will be popping again soon at the Brush Creek Playhouse. The 2017 season kicks off on Feb. 17, with a children’s play, The MISAdventures of the Seven Dwarfs, directed by Linda Zellner.

She said she double casts for the children’s plays to ensure each child who auditions will get a part.

“My feeling is at that young age I want to give them a good experience. I don’t want them to come out to audition and not get a part,” she said.

Zellner, 56, has been involved with the theater for 25 years. This play is as her 21st as the director.

Kimberly Strong, director of the upcoming comedy The Hallelujah Girls, is looking forward to the sounds of laughter when it opens April 14. Strong, 54, said she likens the play to The Golden Girls meets Steel Magnolias.

“It has so many funny lines for women of a certain age,” she said.

The cast requires six women and two men. Auditions are the weekend of Feb. 4 and 5. Set in the South, Strong said there’s an opportunity for the actors to try out their Southern accents.

Our Town Monthly

“We take a look at the lives of these six women over the course of one year and we see what it’s like to be a woman in her fifties.”

A hodgepodge of “50-something” issues are woven into the play such as various romantic interests and adultchild drama.

Strong said she loves introducing new people to the theater and encourages everyone to try out. “There is magic that only happens in the theater, whether you’re onstage or backstage.”

She relies on her gut instincts as she focuses on the casting process. “I have a vision of each character and what I want to see in the play.”

Because it is a community theater, amateurs to experienced actors are encouraged to audition.

Other upcoming plays include Christmas at the Blizzard: A Murder Mystery, The Kitchen Witches, The Golden Harp that Saved Silverton and All in the Timing.

To review the entire list of dates for the 2017 season and auditions, visit brushcreekplayhouse.com or The Brush Creek Playhouse, 11535 Silverton Road, Silverton. Call 503-508-3682 for information.

Sports & Recreation

Tournament standouts The Silverton High wrestling team turned in a strong performance Jan. 21 at the Colton Holly Memorial Tournament in Wilsonville. The Foxes finished with a 4-1 record and took third place. The win total includes victories against two Class 6A schools, No. 11 Cleveland and Beaverton.

“The wrestlers are really starting to come together as a team,” Coach Keegan Davis said. “Although we are giving up a few forfeits at the upper weights, our strength in the lower weights and through the tenacity of the guys stepping on the mat we have been able to compete.”

Three Silverton wrestlers finished the day undefeated, Kaden Kuenzi (No. 2 in Class 5A at 106 pounds), Jacob Whitehead (No. 4 in Class 5A at 113), and freshman Matthew Guenther (120).

Davis also singled out Tristan Lanier for “leading by example.” Lanier, a senior at 132 pounds, improved to 25-4 at the tournament. His pin in the final dual meet of the tournament gave the Foxes a 37-36 win against Beaverton.

Coming up for the Foxes are the MidWillamette Conference district meet Feb. 10-11, with the state meet two weeks later Feb. 24-25.

Girls basketball: Silverton is 12-2 overall and 6-0 in league and has risen to No. 2 in Class 5A. The Foxes continue to shine on defense, giving up just 32.2 points per game and just one team, South Albany, has managed to score more than 50 points. “We have played pretty well defensively,” Coach Tal Wold said. “The girls really believe in what we do and love who they are doing it with.”

Wold noted senior Kayce McLaughlin took four charges in one game and that senior Hailey Smisek and junior Brooke

Fox wrestlers go 4-1 in event McCarty “really do a great job of setting the tone on the defensive end pressuring the opponents’ guards.”

Town went to press. The Trojans are 6-1 in league, 10-7 overall and ranked No. 6 in Class 2A.

Junior Maggie Roth, Wold said “just gets it. She is all over the floor and anticipates so well.”

Boys basketball: The Foxes are 3-3 in the balanced Mid-Willamette and 7-9 overall. Six of the eight teams will advance to the 5A playoffs and Silverton Coach Steve Roth said, “there is more parity in our league this year than any year I can remember. Each game will matter to postseason prospects. I don’t see any team in our league running away from all the others.”

Through their first 13 games the Foxes had seven different leading scorers as they faced the challenge of replacing top scorer Alia Parsons, who is now in college.

“I am really pleased with where we are at offensively,” Wold said. “We have had to play against a variety of teams, and the girls have found ways to be successful.”

Freshman Paige Alexander “has really provided a spark for us,” Wold said. “She brings a different level of athleticism to us off the bench and competitive spirit.”

The Foxes faced a key test Jan. 27 against No. 3 Corvallis after Our Town’s presstime, with a second meeting between the two schools set for Feb. 24.

Kennedy, meanwhile, was clinging to a one-game lead in the Tri-River as Our

Junior sharp-shooter Cade Roth continues to lead offensively, but Coach Roth said he is getting scoring help from sophomore Levi Nielsen and junior Easton Ashwell.

“Defensively, we are very good for stretches, but lapses have cost us games,” Roth said.

“As we mature and extend our focus for full games we will give ourselves the chance to contend with anybody in our league.”

Kennedy, meanwhile, is staying in the hunt in the Tri-River. As Our Town went to press the Trojans were 5-2 in league, tied with Western Mennonite for second place

behind 6-1 Santiam.

The league has just two automatic playoff berths, but the Tri-River is well-positioned for the two at-large slots because four squads, including No. 9 Kennedy, are ranked in the top 10.

Swimming: The Foxes’ boys and girls squads are both 9-1 in dual meets and both teams finished first in an eight-team invitational hosted by Blanchet Catholic.

Wrestler Tristan Lanier, right, gets up after pinning his opponent. The victory helped lead the Foxes to a 37-36 win against Beaverton in the Colton Holly Memorial Tournament.

“Things are going very well,” Foxes Coach Lucky Rogers said. “The swimmers are working hard and improving and we’re trying to get everyone healthy and ready for the (Feb 10-11) district meet. It could be an awesome meet for us.”

The deep Foxes are especially strong in the relays, with all six relay teams in the hunt for top three times in the district.

Body maintenance

My car gets a checkup, so why shouldn’t I?

I try to take good care of my car. Every 3,000 miles or so I have the oil changed. I used to do it myself, but I find crawling under a car is less inviting as a I slip past the cool side of 60-something.

So I take the car and my wife’s to the dealer, whose experts change the oil and scout other oddities that need fixing. Taking good care of our cars has paid off in a big way. Nearly every car we’ve owned since we got married has lasted 200,000 or more miles. A couple lasted more than 300,000 miles and are still rolling.

Recently, the starter in my car began making a funny noise. I described it over the phone to the service representative. “It does this,” I said. “Rrr, rrr, rrr — then it goes ah, naa, naa, naa.”

With that expert description, she asked me to bring the car in. They fixed it and I was on my way.

As I did that, it occurred to me that I take a certain amount of pride in keeping up our cars, but I totally ignore my most important “vehicle” — my body. The last physical I had was 12 years ago, even though under Obamacare and my insurance plan an annual check-up is already paid for.

It occurred to me that this was crazy. I’ll admit I’m prone to doing crazy stuff, like the time I decided to become a stockbroker and worked for the most evil company ever. I

According to the American Optometric Association children should have their eyes examined at ages:

In the old days, doctors did some pretty weird stuff to patients. I won’t go into detail but it involved rubber gloves. I found that’s not the case anymore, thank goodness. A major part of the check-up was getting my blood tested for cholesterol — good and bad — triglycerides — bad — and testosterone — good — and a few other things that I don’t know what the hell they are.

think the CEO was Darth Vader. I mean, this company actually rented its employees the computers they needed to do their work, an inspired but totally bonkers way to do business.

I survived that, but I learned my lesson: minimize the crazy in my life.

I decided to get a check-up, this time for me, not my car.

I sorted through the list of doctors that I found affiliated with the local hospital and made an appointment.

On my way there, I made a mental list of what I figured he would tell me including lose weight, stop eating like a 12-year-old boy at a baseball game and get more exercise.

I also had some questions about some other things that had been bugging me.

So as I get ready to tackle what remains of the new year, I have a certain level of confidence that it’s going to be a good one health wise. I’m hitting on all cylinders, and even though I don’t go as fast as I used to, I’m on track to keep rolling for a long time.

And I won’t have to call the doctor in a panic some day and tell him, “It does this: Rrr, rrr, rrr — then it goes ah, naa, naa, naa.”

Getting a daily dose of independence How our nurses are helping kids in school Gavin Wernette, 10, is an active boy, an avid reader and a car buff. He is also a kid with Type 1 diabetes, testing his blood sugars and injecting himself several times a day.

“It’s not easy,” Gavin says. However, he receives daily help from a Legacy Silverton Medical Center nurse who works at local schools, giving students the tools for a healthy life. “She makes me feel happy and welcome,” Gavin says. “She has helped me become more independent.”

Placing nurses in schools is just one of the ways we partner with others to build a stronger, healthier community for all.

In a contract with schools, nurses from Legacy Silverton Medical Center oversee the health of some 4,700 students, providing routine care and working with students who have conditions ranging from asthma to spina bifida to epilepsy.
