All right, perhaps I am being overly dramatic. But they did make her an offer, and beginning March 6 they will have the benefit of her experience, insight and drive.

And we are going to miss her.

Kris started reporting for Our Town with our first issue in 2004. A freelance writer with small children, she juggled obligations, bubbled with ideas and stood ready to help when called.

Eventually we just had to hire her. Over the years her role grew from reporter to managing editor. Her feel for our community, her professionalism and her interest in all things has made this a better paper.

Mr. Lewis goes to Salem

Rick Lewis appointed to serve District 18

By Kristine Thomas

Cattlemen’s Association; and Hubbard resident Glenn Holum, a business owner who serves on his city’s planning commission.

While Rick Lewis’ title has changed from Silverton mayor to Oregon House District 18 state representative, his commitment to serve others remains steadfast.

On Feb. 22, Marion County Commissioners Kevin Cameron, Janet Carlson and Sam Brentano all voted for Lewis along with Clackamas County Commissioners Sonya Fischer, Paul Savas and Martha Schrader.

Clackamas County Commissioners Jim Bernard and Ken Humberston cast their votes for Holum.

“Throughout my public service career, I have always strived to maintain a healthy respect for all viewpoints, collaborate and compromise when possible, and put the interests of the public above all else,” Lewis said. “I pledge to continue to abide by these principles as I begin my legislative career today.”

Lewis will serve through the remainder of the two-year term, Jan. 13, 2019.

On Feb. 23, Lewis resigned as the mayor of Silverton before being sworn in by Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas A. Balmer as state representative.

A Republican, Lewis was appointed by the Clackamas and Marion County Boards of Commissioners on Feb. 22 to fill the Oregon House District 18 position. Lewis replaces Silverton resident Vic Gilliam, who resigned the seat Feb. 1 for health reasons. In 2016, Gilliam was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Gilliam, also a Republican, has served District 18 since 2007.

According to Oregon law, the legislative vacancy must be filled by county commissioners representing the district in which the vacancy exists. House District 18 includes

“It is an incredible honor to have the opportunity to serve the residents of House District 18 as a member of the Oregon Legislature,” Lewis said.

Rick Lewis received many congratulations after being chosen to serve House District 18 in the Oregon Legislature.

voters in Clackamas and Marion counties. Finalists were selected by the Republican Party, as directed by state law.

The candidates were Lewis; Gervais resident Jerome Rosa, who is the executive director for the Oregon

When selected Feb. 22, it was Lewis’ plan to continue as Silverton’s mayor. While Oregon law provides a public servant may hold two elected offices under certain circumstances, Lewis’ resignation as mayor on Feb. 23 eliminates any potential questions about the constitutionality of dual office holding.

Sharing the decision to step away from his role with the city was “far and away the most difficult” part of this process, Lewis said. He said he gave up the idea of serving as mayor while also serving as a member of the

Legislative Assembly when it became clear that there were some outstanding constitutional questions that could expose both the city and the legislature to some risks.

“I have pledged to be as helpful as possible to my colleagues in Silverton as they navigate this unexpected transition,” Lewis said.

“Today is very bittersweet for me, but I am comforted by the fact that I will still have an opportunity to work closely with my friends at the city as I assume my new role in the legislature.”

Silverton City Manager Christy Wurster said City Council President Kyle Palmer will fulfill the responsibilities of the mayor until a new one is selected.

The city council was set to hold a special meeting to discuss the vacancy on Feb. 27, after Our Town’s press time.

“Mayor Lewis has characterized outstanding leadership and service to our community for many years, first as our police chief and then as our mayor,” Wurster said. “On behalf of the staff, I would like to wish him continued success in his new capacity.”

Clackamas and Marion County Boards of Commissioners before an audience of about 50 at the Mount Angel Fire Station on Feb. 22. The commissioners first took public comment on the candidates, then the candidates introduced themselves followed by questions from each commissioner.

Silverton residents Ann Haviland, Aaron Koch, Charles Baldwin, Stu Rasmussen and Dana Smith all spoke highly of Lewis’ service to Silverton and their confidence in him serving the constituents of House District 18.

Koch, who is a member of the Silver Falls School Board, shared with the commissioners that what Lewis brings to the table is the ability to listen to and work with everyone.

“He has the ability to reach across the aisle and values all opinions,” Koch said.

Describing Lewis as a man of integrity, Baldwin said Lewis has a broad array of experience and approaches things in an even-handed, fair way.

Rasmussen said Lewis is a fair-minded, public servant who is willing to go the extra mile.

A city councilor, Smith said she and Lewis have often found themselves on the opposite ends of a debate.

Lewis and his fellow candidates for the District 18 position were interviewed at a joint meeting of the

“I thank the community for the tremendous outpouring of support. Thanks also to those who were involved in this process from the very beginning, particularly to those who encouraged me to step forward and offered so much in time and in counsel,” Lewis said. “You know who you are. Thanks to my family for their love and support in allowing me to continue to serve.”

Gilliam said Lewis was chosen from a slate of talented candidates. “Rick’s experience from the military and law enforcement and as our mayor not to mention his life as a dedicated husband and father will serve us well,” Gilliam said. “I wish Rick all the best as he steps into the House of Representatives and all of Oregon’s current challenges and opportunities.”

Something to Celebrate

Eager to lend a hand

Lori Pavlicek, Mount Angel First Citizen for 2016

By Kristine Thomas

and listens to others’ input and ideas.

Service Agency for nine years.

office manager.

It wasn’t until she saw it written down on paper that Lori Butsch Pavlicek became fully aware of all her volunteer work.

“She rarely says ‘I can’t do it,’” Butsch said. “She’s always willing to volunteer and help. I don’t know if she has ever said ‘no.’ She does things because it needs to get done.”

She is currently the president of the Mount Angel Community Foundation and the secretary of the Providence Benedictine Nursing Center Board. She’s an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church and a board member and 2016 president of Ag-Link, an organization that helps promote Oregon agriculture and bridge the gap between urban and rural Oregonians.

When asked why she volunteers, she said, “Somebody has to do the work.”

And that realization occurred only after she received some unexpected but surprisingly good news.

As Pavlicek was driving to the Portland Airport with her 16-year-old daughter, Olivia, to go to a volleyball tournament in Arizona, she received the phone call that she had been chosen as the 2016 Mount Angel First Citizen.

“I didn’t realize everything I have done until I read the nomination form,” she said, laughing.

Her sister-in-law, Linda Butsch, nominated her for the honor.

“She is an advocate for her community,” Butsch said.

“She’s always doing things for her community and her family.”

Describing her sister-in-law as a tireless volunteer, Butsch said what makes Pavlicek a good person to have on a committee is that she is approachable, nice

Lori and Derek Pavlicek are the parents of Olivia, a junior at Silverton High School, and Genavieve, an eighth-grader at Silverton Middle School.

Her daughters keep her busy with school and club volleyball games, high school activities and church functions.

She serves on the SHS Dodgeball committee and the Silverton Middle School eighth-grade promotion committee.

Pavlicek is a part-owner of 4B Farms in Mount Angel along with her parents, Jim and Donna Butsch, and her brother, Jeff. They grow wheat, grass seed, hops, garlic, hazelnuts and a variety of vegetables.

“My first commitment is to my family and everything else comes second,” Pavlicek said.

Every night before she goes to bed and every morning when she awakes, Pavlicek said she looks at her calendar to see what’s on the day’s agenda.

Through 4B Farms, they support the Mount Angel Fire Department, sponsor various sports teams, Silverton High School FFA, St. Joseph’s Shelter and agriculture in the classroom.

Her volunteer activities include serving on the Mount Angel Oktoberfest Board for 18 years and Farm

After graduating from Silverton High School in 1982, she attended George Fox College.

Moonlight Masquerade

By Kristine Thomas Four-year-old Leah Martin reminded her dad, Andrew, about the dance in December. Three-year-old Avery Satern has mentioned the dance more than a few times to her parents, Brent and Kelly Satern.

Megan Wavra, 5, and Brittyn Wavra, 4, eyes lit-up with excitement when their dad, Eric Wavra, told them he had bought tickets for this year.

After having a blast at the first dance, all four girls and their dads are looking forward to the second annual Silverton Rotary Daddy-Daughter Dance Saturday, March 11, 6 to 9 p.m. at Silverton High School.

Along with the dancing at the Moonlight Masquerade, guests can enjoy a formal daddy-daughter photo, face painting, photo booth, crafts and games, snacks, desserts and chocolate fountains.

Brent Satern said the dance is an opportunity for fathers to show their daughters how “special they are to us.”

“It is a tangible way that we can show our daughters that they are loved unconditionally and that does wonders for these girls as they start to navigate through life,” Satern said.

Andrew Martin said he and Leah had a great time at last year’s dance.

Last year, members of the SHS Interact Club volunteered at the dance, with several students dressing up as prince or princesses. The students are volunteering again this year.

Dads were dressed in everything from suits and ties to blue jeans and cowboy boots to golf shorts and sandals. For the dads, the evening was all about seeing their daughters’ smile and hear them laugh.

“This is a time for daughters to be influenced by the male figures in their life and to understand how men should act towards women with love and respect and the ability to have a good time,” Wavra said.

Satern, who is working with fellow Rotary Club members to organize the dance, said last year’s event showed him there are “a lot of great dads in our community and some very lucky daughters.”

Time capsule treasure

By Kristine Thomas What started as instructions to carefully remove the cornerstone dated 1947 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Silverton, turned into an unexpected historical discovery with a family connection.

In January, a team began working on constructing a new narthex at the church.

Bryan Pfeifer, a superintendent with Dalke Construction of Salem, recalled asking a co-worker to be careful when removing the cornerstone, as the plan is to use it when the construction is completed at the end of June.

“He came up to me and told me he found a weird box and wanted to know what it was,” Pfeifer said. “I knew exactly what the copper box was after he told me he found it behind the cornerstone.”

michEllE arThur Business manager/Owner

210 Oak Street, Suite 3 Silverton • 503-874-1300 • www.silvertonproperty.com

Finding the time capsule was a “neat moment,” Pfeifer said, because no one knew the it was hidden there.

The copper time capsule, 10 inches wide, 16 inches long and 3 inches in

depth, contained a four-page history of the church dated Oct. 14, 1946; a Nov. 21, 1947 Silverton Appeal-Tribune with a headline reading “Cornerstone New Church to Be Laid,” a list of church members who made donations to the church and donation envelope with three worn coins.

“When I saw the envelope, I recognized my grandfather’s handwriting,” Pfeifer said.

The last paragraph of the newspaper article reads, “Construction on the new church was started last April and has been in the charge of the John A. Pfeifer Co.” Seeing the time capsule and knowing his grandfather’s role in building the church, Pfeifer said he feels like everything is coming full circle. “When I began working in construction, I started with my grandfather and my dad,” he said.

And 70 years later, he’s getting to work on a project his grandfather started in April of 1947. The cornerstone was set on Nov. 23, 1947.

St. Paul’s renovation reveals pieces of history Pfeifer gave the time capsule to Dan Gasper, who is a cousin and a member of the church’s building committee.

A member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Mount Angel, Pfeifer said he attends St. Paul’s about 15 times a year with his wife, Kristy, and their children, Tyler, 13; Jackson, 11; and Brooklynn, 9.

“My children understand how important this project is. Jackson attends youth group here and is proud of his dad. I was an altar boy at St. Paul’s,” Pfeifer said.

“There’s a sense of community pride and history working on this project.”

The Rev. Basil Lawrence, O.S.B. said Dalke Co. is responsible for the construction project, which will add a new entry way, porch, handicap accessible bathrooms and three new pew rows.

“Opening the time capsule was a real treat and there were some fascinating historical items and records discovered inside,” Lawrence wrote in a church bulletin.

group, Lawrence said he and his students discussed what they could place in the new time capsule. He would like to have a group photo of parishioners once the project is completed.

“Hopefully the items we leave behind for future generations of St. Paul parishioners to discover will bring them the same joy and amazement we have discovered ourselves,” Lawrence wrote.

In a report to parishioners, Lawrence said the total cost of the project is $980,000 with the total money pledged so far being $883,700.

Lawrence shared this is the first project the church has undertaken in more than 50 years. Parishioners, he said, are excited to see the construction begin, especially after planning and fundraising for it for 10 years.

“We hope this will be the first of several projects,” he said. “The project has been an opportunity for revitalization for our parish and the hopes and dreams of the parishioners for their church.”

Tattoo artist throws party

By Nancy Jennings Got ink? If not, and you want some, Tattoo Artist Luke Sims would find it an honor to create permanent art on your body.

Just as you seasonally check your furnace or smoke detector batteries, the National Ground Water Association recommends an annual water well checkup.

sat there and watched every single thing the guy did. I was completely fascinated.”

Authorized Independent Dealer

Sims said Oregon requires tattoo artists to complete hours of book study and to pass two tests. In addition, 150 hours of tattoo experience with at least 50 procedures is required.

Sims, 40, is the owner of The Luke Sims Silverton Tattoo Co., which he opened March 1, 2016 at 201 Oak St. “If somebody walks in here and I have the opportunity to make him or her happy and change their life, that’s what I want to do,” he said.

Sims will celebrate his one-year anniversary on March 4 beginning at 9 p.m. at Mac’s Place, 201 N. Water St. In addition to free T-shirts, he’ll be giving away $1,000 worth of tattoos. There will be live band karaoke with the Flextones.

Our Town at the press of a button

Sims has three sons with his former wife, Jamie Nida, who was born and raised in Silverton. Raymond, 11, Ryan, 9 and Royce, 5, all attend Silverton schools.

ONE CALL DOES IT ALL!

“There’s no better place to raise your kids than Silverton,” he said. “I decided to open a shop here so my children could come see me when they get out of school. The town’s been amazing to us.”

Heating & Cooling

Sims fell in love with tattoos when he was 15. His friend’s mother was a bass player in a local rock band. He spent a lot of time at their house.

“Some guy came over one night and started tattooing her,” he recalled. “Only bikers and rock stars were tattooed back then. I

Plumbing

There are two basic methods of tattooing: outlining and shading. Tattoo border lines hold everything together.

“I have seen tattoos done without lines and after seven, eight or nine years later they are a faded blur,” Sims said. But shading can show its appeal with tattoos such as baby feet, where line borders could take away from its intended softer edges.

While there are benefits to each method, Sims prefers the aesthetic of a lined tattoo.

He offers simple advice to those who may struggle between a tattoo’s quality and price: “A cheap tattoo isn’t good, and a good tattoo isn’t cheap.”

Before a client gets a tattoo, Sims shares some insight, making sure the client is comfortable and knowledgeable about what is happening.

With the vintage “Mom” tattoos getting popular again, Sims said American Traditional is a very hipster thing. “Now they’re far more elaborate with lace, etc..”

“Name hearts” are also popular, where clients have a loved one’s name tattooed inside of a heart-shaped outline.

Sims’ father, a former pastor, is not a fan of tattoos. But he is supportive of his son’s talents.

“My dad is my hero. He’s definitely of the mindset of the body is a temple. But I tell him all the time ‘where have you seen a temple that isn’t decorated?’”

Insurance solutions complicated

healthcare expenses.

Carl Sampson’s column in Our Town is meant to be humorous. I get that. But there is a difference between humorous and laughable and his column on “ Carlcare” ( January 2017) is clearly the latter.

In fairness, I applaud Mr. Sampson’s implication that all Americans deserve health insurance, that insurance should be comprehensive and employers shouldn’t be in the health insurance business. Carlcare, however, is not a new idea. It is a warmed over “ health savings account plus catastrophic coverage” model that’s been floated off and on for the last 20 years. It works only for the healthy and the wealthy and has never in any form survived a comprehensive analysis of feasibility as a solution to the problem of the uninsured....

Obamacare was an honest attempt to reform healthcare within the constraints of a monolithic Republican opposition ( to even their own ideas, like the individual mandate) and a private health insurance industry whose business plan is to deny as much healthcare as possible relative to premiums.

Mr. Sampson’s criticisms of Obamacare seem petty or are untrue. Did members of Congress read the entire 2,000 page bill? Of course not. It’s not readable. But a bill to reform our health care system is going to be more detailed than a newspaper column. Details matter. And there is no evidence that Obamacare has been a “ drag on the economy”. Rather, Obamacare has given 20 million more Americans health insurance, including hundreds in this community. It has saved the lives of thousands of our fellow citizens who would have died otherwise. Thousands have been spared personal bankruptcy because of catastrophic

Of course, Obamacare is in jeopardy now... The number of uninsured will surely increase under this administration. The health insurance companies will be happy. They could never make enough money taking care of poor people anyway.

Relieved of their obligations under Obamacare (“You mean we have to insure even sick people? ”) they and the predatory pharmaceutical companies will return to their main business of profit making.

But imagine this. We designed a healthcare program that covered all Americans with every benefit of Mr. Sampson’s plan and more. Not only that, it would do all this while spending hundreds of billions less than we currently spend and that has been evaluated and found fiscally sound by the Congressional Budget Office. Well, there is such plan. Go to PNHP.org to learn more.

Lighten up on President Trump

... Being senior in age to Dixon (Bledsoe) I have witnessed a few more of life’s good and bad moments than he has.

As a VietNam Helicopter pilot I saw more of death and destruction than most people will in a lifetime.

Viewpoint not middle of the road (Dixon) may be independent or Democrat, but its obvious (he is) not Republican. It’s obvious (he) listens to and reads liberal and left wing TV and printed matter.... It is unbelievable how the mainstream media can turn what someone says into a lie or a political hanging.... If you were the least bit middle of the road you would see how this President does not waiver in his effort to achieve goals that got him elected. If you were the least bit middle of the road you would see a Man that does not cower to ... left wing Hollywood ... that poison the minds of our young people with their rhetoric, music and show for the sake of earning millions! If you were the least middle of the road, you would see where the Democrats have taken us in the last eight years in the form of billions of dollars of debt to unpaid government promised retirements! ...Why wouldn’t people get sick and tired of the left voting themselves pay raises? ...Last but not least, tell me how the Democratic presidential candidate and the house and senate minority leaders can be multimillionaires but its no big deal!

my opinion is the worst president in history... Instead of bashing we should be looking at ways to make our country great again. People are fed up with politics as usual and want to see real change and fresh ideas that will move us all forward. Let’s start with politicians, our fore fathers served faithfully and without compensation, not true today, politics has become a career choice and most retire millionaires on our nickel. How much education does it take to serve the country, must one be a Doctor, Lawyer or accountant? No, good and honest people can serve and do the job well. Term limits are the answer, just like the president can only serve two terms, likewise for congressmen and senators. So it also would make sense to not have Lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. It is alarming to me what is happening to Public Education, the young people of today know little or anything about our history, the founding fathers, the Liberty Bell, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Pledge of Allegiance. How many know the words to our National Anthem? This country was founded on Judeo Christian Principles, and allows any one to practice the religion of their choice freely and openly.

There have been manywho have interpreted this to mean Freedom from Religion, instead of what it really is Freedom OF Religion. My how we have missed the mark on this one, no thanks to the ACLU.

Innate kindness and trust in human nature can’t be bought, so it’s as well that Ruth Cock was a volunteer for the 3 1/2 years that she provided the Senior Thrift Store with her vision, moxie and consistently persistent hard work, with help from friends, family and loyal volunteers. The Senior Thrift Store under her guidance was a social hub, as well as an unfailing source of interesting shopping and useful items. For community members who needed those chockfull shelves, good deals and friendly atmosphere, the store provided opportunity to find joy and satisfaction in items that added a feeling of enrichment to their lives, as well as the sense of having been heard by someone who cared about their joys and sorrows. Out-of-towners returned, year after year, for the same reasons.... Ruth helped where help was needed. Ruth’s efforts provided a hefty and steady stream of money for the Senior Center.... I will be curious to see how much money will now flow through the Senior Thrift Shop to the Senior Center. Ruth’s common sense, integrity, friendliness and humor will be missed by both steady community shoppers and those who delighted in annual or occasional trips to shop. ... Ruth is a woman who deserves thanks, gratitude and goodwill, I would hope that others ... will consider stating their positive thoughts about Ruth’s generosity to the community.

Foxes swim team riding high

“Could be a big year next year,” Silverton High swim coach Lucky Rogers said.

You can’t blame Rogers for looking ahead to next season because this one was pretty special for the Foxes. Silverton’s boys and girls squads both lost just one dual meet and the two teams both finished second in the Mid-Willamette Conference district meet.

The Foxes sent five relay teams and two individuals to the Feb. 17-18 OSAA Class 5A state championships and everybody involved finished 10th or better, led by the boys 200 medley relay squad, which took fifth. It was the first relay medal for the Foxes in school history.

Jason Orr, Ross Mackinnon, Jaiden Davis and Blake Doerfler swam 1:48.87, with Doerfler’s scorching 23.86 anchor leg running down Redmond in the stretch to take fifth. Here’s how the meet went: Boys – 100 back: Orr finished eighth by swimming 58.70; 200 free relay: Davis, Doerfler, Mackinnon and Orr finished eighth in 1:36.59.

Girls – 200 free relay: Jillian Bliss, Samantha Zurcher, Maddie Broyhill and Marie Tolmachoff took seventh in 1:49.25; 100 breast: Tolmachoff swam 1:12.34 to finish eighth; 200 medley relay: Zurcher, Tolmachoff, Maggie Kelley and Broyhill took 10th in 2:04.32; 400 free relay: Emily Dillon, Kelley, Bliss and Jayla Toland finished 10th in the prelims in 4:06.72.

“I could not have asked for anything more,” Rogers said. “We worked very hard and finished right where I hoped we would. As far as state goes, we did not have our best swims, but we did have good swims. No complaints from me.”

Another reason Rogers is confident about next year? Zurcher, Tolmachoff, Kelley,

“Kaden, Jacob, Robert and Tristan have all had a great impact on each other,” Davis said. “They push and motivate one another to be better every day.”

Davis said Milstead learned a lot from facing his district opponents during the dual meet season and “came out much more confident, forcing his opponents to make mistakes and then capitalizing on them.”

Broyhill, Toland and Doerfler are freshmen, and Orr and Mackinnon are juniors.

Bowling: The Silverton boys and girls squads both finished second in district competition at AMF Firebird Lanes in Salem. They competed in the state meet in Feb. 25 - 26 after Our Town’s presstime.

The girls squad defeated McKay 258-254 in the two-game semifinals but fell 278-259 in the finals against McNary. Foxes bowlers Madi Burton ranked second, Korina Chadwick third, Autumn Belville fourth and Maggie Buckholz 10th among the 34 who participated. Also bowling for Silverton were Grace Wallsinger and Abby Duda.

The boys Silver squad defeated McNary 378-337 in the semifinals before falling to McKay 367-297 in the championship match. Rigo Rios was the top individual for Silverton, finishing sixth among the 72 boys participants. Also bowling for the Foxes were Jace Kincaid, Ryan Galvez, Colby Kemp and Lance Brown. The Foxes Black squad finished 10th. Participating were Keoki Kanahele, Tim Cobb, Chayse Lanier, Jesse Kirk and Koa Yoast.

The teams are coached by Andrew Zwicker, Joe Norris and Lucas Cobb. The squads train at Silver Creek Lanes.

Wrestling: The Foxes sent five athletes to the OSAA Class 5A state meet in Portland, which occurred Feb. 24 and 25 after Our Town’s presstime.

SHS Girls Bowling Team: Maggie Buckholz,, Abby Duda, Autumn Belville, Madi Burton, Grace Wallsinger, Korina Chadwick with coaches Andrew Zwicker and Lucas Cobb

The Foxes scored 219 points and finished sixth as a team. Dallas won the district title with 362. In addition to the state qualifiers Manuel Fernandez (285), Matthew Schonbachler (138) and Hayden Roth (182) took fifth for the Foxes and Chaz White was sixth at 138.

Silverton had two girls on the squad this season, Madison Shockley and Hailee Burton, with Shockley advancing to state at 113 pounds. Davis said he hopes to field a full girls squad next season.

Girls basketball: Kennedy is one game

Boys basketball: Silverton scored its biggest win of the season Feb. 21, taking a 74-57 victory against first-place Crescent Valley to improve to 6-7 in the MidWillamette heading into Friday’s regularseason finale against Corvallis. The Foxes earned the fifth-seed in the playoffs and were headed toward a possible matchup against Eagle Point on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

a Grin at the end

Sliderules

The tool of the titans... some called them nerds

A slide rule was the main tool mathematicians, engineers and others who designed complicated structures used to “do the math.”

“Do the math” would involve solving complicated equations with multiple variables. To solve them, an engineer had to isolate a variable and solve for another.

He or she would then continue until they calculated the relationship between all of the variables.

And most importantly, we are on the verge of a new energy era. In the future, we won’t burn coal or oil or even use the sun to power our lives. Another source of energy will be discovered, yes, by a nerd, that will supply all of our needs. It will be clean and limitless.

I showed it to my 20-year-old son. He looked at it as though it has fallen from the sky, an artifact of a past civilization.

The slide rule, also known by the cool people as a “slipstick,” was invented in the 17th century. It used the basic properties of logarithms, exponents, to perform complex calculations that would otherwise take hours to do by hand.

Before the end of the century, we will land on Mars.

I was cleaning out my desk drawers at home the other day, and ran across one of the most powerful computers ever invented. It was an Acu-Math No. 500, also known as a slide rule.

In a sense, he was right. The people who used slide rules are gone, most of them. And the only ones who even recognize them are the remnants of a generation of nerds that once ruled the Earth.

SILVERTON

I’m a believer in the future. I’m a believer that we will get past whatever travails lie ahead and, as a civilization, learn to live together.

This took old-fashion brain power, and a slide rule. If you were really going Buck Rogers, you also would use something high-tech like a chalkboard.

A slide rule was the light saber used by engineers to figure stuff out. In a real sense, they reached for the stars using their slide rules.

Before electronic calculators and the computers that came after them, slide rules were wielded by the best and brightest. They were used to design bridges, skyscrapers, even launched men to the moon using a unimposing fool-long gadget that ran solely on brain power. No electricity, no batteries, just intellect.

In the 21st Century, we will see and do things that our parents never even imagined. We already see robots that can build anything. Cars will soon drive themselves.

I’m just not sure of the timing. I’d like to say we’re on that path, but it appears we still have some things to work out with our politics and priorities.

But it will happen, sooner or later. We will learn that we are meant to get along with one another, no matter the race, or the religion, or where we live.

When that happens, I believe it will in large part be because of the brilliant men and women who came before us, who used their intellectual gifts for the good of mankind.

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.

To learn about others: www.legacyhealth.org/together

Our legacy is yours.

AD-1177 ©2016

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.
