On a roll

Moms get a little ‘me time’ in roller derby action

By Melissa Wagoner Four local mothers have discovered the key to parenting might be found in an unexpected place – the roller derby rink.

“It’s important for me to do something for myself and something that I like to do,” 38-year-old Silverton resident Angie Lindstedt explained.

Lindstedt became interested in roller derby in her early twenties while living in Portland.

“When Rose City started I was like, ‘I’m going to do that one day.’ Then life happened and I didn’t actually join until I was old,” she laughed.

Lindstedt, who works as a hospice nurse and is also a certified midwife, joined a team in Salem in 2011 and immediately found comradery in fellow skater, 28-year-old Scotts Mills resident, Gina Olson.

“We would have never met without derby,” Lindstedt said. “I think the best thing that’s come from derby are the

Cherry City Roller Derby 1335 Madison St. N.E., Salem Open Recruitment: July 3, Aug. 7 and Sept. 12, 6:30 p.m. www.cherrycityrollerderby.com people I met from derby; that whole woman empowerment thing, lifting each other up. They’re who I go to when I’m having a bad day.”

Beginning derby skater and Silverton resident, 41-year-old Miranda Pickner agreed. “Each person has their own insight,” she said. “Everybody is so encouraging. The community element – I can already feel it.”

In a nutshell this rough sport consists of two 14 member teams playing two 30 minute periods during which they try to get each team’s jammer – the girl who can score the points – past the blockers, everyone else, and around the track.

Accessorize your Summer!

Silverton’s Angie Lindstedt laughs with a teammate.

“There’s all these different jobs that as a team you can go through and learn,” Lindstedt explained. “It’s a cool sport.”

Another part of what makes derby so

shoulders and concussions, a fact skater Brianna Wolterman knows all too well. A Silverton resident, 29-yearold Wolterman, recently received a concussion in a match and had to take five weeks off, missing several important bouts.

“We didn’t choose our real names, but we get to pick our derby names,” Lindstedt said.

Her derby name, Cervix-a-Lot, is a tribute to her midwifery career. Olson’s name, Slam Elliott, is a tribute to a favorite actor and Pickner, who hasn’t yet chosen a name, feels like it is hard choice.

“I was really bummed to miss them,” she said. “But, I was reminded over and over by friends that my brain is important – it really is – and that I’m in it for the long haul, not just for two weekends that are a blip on the radar when it comes to this sport I love.”

“People have some really cool names,” Pickner chuckled.

Derby is not all fun and games however, and skating at top speed around a concrete arena can take its toll on bodies.

Safety is a constant concern. Both teams are suited up in elbow and knee pads and helmets, and there is an extensive training process, still players know that injuries are always a part of the game.

“At times it’s kind of intimidating – the injury element,” Pickner said. “It’s motivating me that if I don’t practice this and get this strong it’s going to hurt me

Brianna Wolterman of Silverton on the court.

Apart from the risk of injury, being a derby skater also requires a big commitment of time away from children and spouses.

Lindstedt, a co-captain of her team, Thrill Kill Kittens, estimates she spends around 10 hours per week either in practice or in derby related duties.

“It’s cooler than the gym, I’ll tell you that,” Lindstedt said.

Lindstedt said the most common injuries are broken ankles and

their two boys, Jack who is five and Harry who is three, has been an adjustment.

“We’ve had our struggles in learning to balance the time I’m away,” she said. “I went from being home 100 percent to being gone three nights a week. That’s an adjustment for any family. But, Paul loves the community too and the person I’ve become. We have really figured out the balance.”

Pickner thinks the time away actually makes her a better parent and role model for her two children; Sage, age 10, and Willow, 8.

“Willow is pretty proud that her mom is a part of something,” Pickner said. “I think for the last few years my identity has been wrapped up in motherhood and community and I think my daughter sees that and has some pride. I appreciate being an athletic model for my child.

“I grew up doing sports but my children don’t know that side of me. I get to model that for my children and I’m really excited.”

Home sweet home

By Nancy Jennings Never say never. Matt Barker, 38, never thought he would be mowing the same lawn he tended as a teenager. He laughs at the irony. “My first job when I was 14 was here mowing the lawns – and I’m still mowing the lawns.”

Now Barker handles much more than just the lawns at Silverton’s Silver Spur RV Park, which was once a saw mill. He and his wife, Jamie, 39, co-manage the 134-site RV Park, which opened in 2002.

Matt is also on the Silverton Chamber of Commerce Board and is part of the city’s Tourism Council.

Visitors, residents bond in Silver Spur RV community

Fish food pellets can be purchased in the lodge. For the furry residents, a fenced off-leash dog exercise area provides a safe place to frolic.

Married for 17 years and residents there themselves, the Barkers live in a house onsite and have three children, ages 15, 13 and 11.

Residents and visitors alike can feel welcoming touches as they walk through the front door of the lodge. Large woodcarved wildlife figures greet them from every vantage point. A bookshelf holds a hefty variety of paperbacks. An oldfashioned popcorn maker provides all-day snacking, which becomes especially handy during their “movies on the lawn” event during summer months.

or a $5fee, a shuttle service transports residents for round-trip excursions to local events.

“You get to know everyone here and you love them,” Jamie said.

“Our lodge is one of the neatest parts of the whole property. It’s over 7000 square feet. We have nice meeting spaces for families and travel groups, a full kitchen, meal service on weekends, a game room upstairs, laundry facilities, a little country store, and a great room with a fireplace,” Matt said.

Venturing onto the grounds, one notices neatly manicured landscaping, courtesy of Matt. Resident volunteers pitch in on the upkeep.

The residents run the gamut in ages, marital status and backgrounds. One man returns every summer from Florida to visit family.

Vona Lumsden, 76, has lived there for nearly eight years. A widow, she said “I thought I’d try it -- and I never gave it up. You can’t beat it with water, sewer, garbage, internet and cable included. The rents are getting sky high anywhere else.

“I have some really good friends here. You meet all kinds of new people. If you don’t like your neighbor, pretty soon there will be a different one so you don’t have to worry about it,” she joked.

Bill Kleeman, 85, who lives in Walnut Creek, Calif., stays at the park in the summer months every year to visit his high school friends. He goes back home in #848 Licensed Bonded Insured

Loggers hold public forum at Oregon Garden mills when I grew up.”

Angela Marone, has worked at Silver Spur for just over seven years. Matt and Jamie kiddingly refer to her as “The Everything.”

She is the office manager, and takes care of all of the cleaning needs. She also fills in as the assistant manager.

“It’s very similar to my military life that I had with my husband. He has since retired out of the Marine Corp. and this is like my little way of still being able to meet people from all walks of life,” she said.

Bobby Miller, and his wife, Tabitha, have lived at Silver Spur for nearly five years.

On his days off, Bobby would sit at the counter in the lodge and chat with Matt.

At that time, Matt was knee-deep in the interviewing process for an open assistant manager position.

Marion and South Clackamas members of the Oregon Small Woodlands Association welcome the public to a Logger Forum at The Oregon Garden, 879 West Main St. Silverton. July 11, 7 to 9 p.m.

The forum is a moderated panel discussion with loggers talking about equipment, capabilities and limitations, as well as costs and time frames. Members say it is the single best place to get an understanding of how logging jobs might be set up.

The association is dedicated to the “protection, management, use, and enhancement of Oregon’s forest resources... and having a good time doing it.”

For those unable to attend, OFRI’s knowyourforest.org has a section on “Logging and Selling Timber”, which includes “20 Things You Should Know Before Conducting A Timber Harvest.”

Needless to say, this was no tour group.

The older, long-haired Frenchman in front of me was drinking rum and coke, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes, and treating all of us to his renditions of ‘70s rock anthems. Coming off a bout of food poisoning, I was struggling to keep my equilibrium. His singing was not helping.

Finishing up Here I Am, On the Road Again, he turned around and gave me a toothy, lopsided grin.

“It’s your lucky day, my friend,” he shouted over the considerable din of the ancient engine. “You have beautiful women on both sides,” referring to my wife, Susan, on my left and the young Danish woman on my right.

“Have some rum!” he laughed in an absurdly debauched voice, as I turned a whiter shade of pale. “And do you know the difference between a snow man and a snow woman?”

Matthew B. Chase, D.M.D.

About this time, I started to ponder something else – not the answer to his riddle, but how exactly it was I ended up in this 69-year-old car with these colorful fellow passengers.

A year ago, we were in Quepos, Costa Rica, and ducked into a tiny expat bar to get out of the rain. Wacky Wanda’s offered a remarkable cast of off-beat characters, including the extreme rightwing owner/bartender, who had plastered framed pictures of conservative politicians all over the walls, as well as, oddly enough, several photos of Fidel Castro.

In between dancing the rumba and monitoring shouting matches involving hostile patrons, I struck up a conversation with Rob, an American expat who had considerable business interests locally.

One of his businesses was setting up Cuban home-stays for travelers. Susan and I had long wanted to visit Cuba so I was all ears on that topic. With the restoration of diplomatic ties between Cuba and the U.S. this seemed like the perfect time to go.

Returning home we began researching the trip and discovered that on Jan. 1, 2017, Alaska Airlines would begin daily, non-stop service from Los Angeles to Havana. We booked round-trip tickets from Portland for under $500 per person.

Our Casa Particular (the Cuban version of AirBNB, which also now operates in the country) in Havana would cost us $35 per night, we learned. Talk about an un-pricey trip to an exotic location!

We were thrilled.

A land old, new, and changing

Stilt walkers and street musicians add to the colorfulness of Old Havana

Marxist state with an anemic economy to a more contemporary society with greater economic freedom and opportunities.

With its thousands of ‘50s era American cars cruising around and its stunning colonial architecture, Havana has been described as a “living car museum” and as “frozen in time.”

Housed in a former cooking oil factory in an aging, industrial part of the city, we found several live music stages, various cocktail bars and food vendors, visual art exhibitions, multi-media projects and fashion shows. There were hundreds of people enjoying the scene until the wee hours on the week night we were there.

That sense of a time warp is real, but like an aging actress of great beauty, Havana is taking on a new role to play, one that highlights its fascinating past while beginning to embrace an exciting but uncertain future.

Havana ranks in my list of great cities for walking. Near-perfect weather, very little crime, friendly people, and a constant collage of visual treats make Havana a great place for walkers. Signage is spotty, but residents are usually willing to point you in the right direction.

One night during our week in Havana, we went to a popular night spot that gave us a glimpse of how things are changing for Cubans. Fabrica de Arte Cubano is a kind of fusion of an arts and cultural center and a nightclub, something you might expect to find in Berlin or London.

Havana Bay, I could easily picture Spanish galleons sailing into the harbor.

It is that kind of special place where the distant past readily comes into focus.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Old Havana boasts nearly 1,000 buildings of historical significance, many of which have been meticulously restored. The predominantly neoclassical and baroque architecture, with art deco touches everywhere, is a pleasing eclectic mix.

The restoration of Old Havana has taken place largely through the use of a tourism fund which gets a large share of the profits from state-run, previouslyrestored restaurants, hotels and boutiques in the area. Wandering the streets of Old Havana makes it easy to see why Cuba attracts three million visitors a year from all over the world.

Another great spot for walking, or an early morning run, is the Malecon which runs alongside the sea wall for five miles from Old Havana to the Vedado neighborhood. We walked most of it one

afternoon, pausing to take in views of the walled fortress across the bay and watch fishermen cast their lines.

Reports of crime in Cuba are rare. Guns are illegal and jail sentences harsh. We walked in different districts of the city at

all hours of the day and night, and had no problems. The only time we felt vaguely threatened was when we were looking for a restaurant and asked directions from a security guard with a thick Russian accent who was outside an exclusive looking nightclub. We did not linger.

I only met one person who was a victim of crime, a New York architect who has done extensive work in Cuba over 15 years. His pocket was picked once, but the unknown thief took the cash, then returned the wallet with his ID and credit cards untouched back into his pocket.

The absence of crime is especially fortunate because American tourists are also not able to use credit cards or access ATMs in Cuba. Banking restrictions related to the ongoing U.S. embargo mean visitors can’t withdraw money from their accounts once they are in Cuba.

Carrying around a lot of cash can be annoying, but there is little risk of being robbed.

A collectivo, or collective taxi, it was a reasonably-priced way to get back to Havana in case we needed further medical care (but we didn’t).

Cuba does have its shortcomings, though, and independent travel here can be more challenging than in, say, Europe. Shortages are common, and basic household supplies like soap and toilet paper were hard for us to find. We tried to buy a watch for days, but could not find any for sale. At a music venue in the rural town of Vinales on a Saturday night, the beer was gone way before the band stopped playing.

To those considering Cuba as a destination, I suggest going. President Trump has made it harder for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba, but it appears to still be possible. You won’t be able to go as a “tourist,” but there are approved reasons to travel there, including humanitarian, religious, person-to-person, education, etc. You will likely have to have some documentation to establish the validity of your trip.

It was also in Vinales that we both got sick from food poisoning. We needed medical assistance and went to the local clinic, which was the most primitive

Along the way, we met people who also had some amazing adventures in Cuba.

My only regret was not being able to see more of this fascinating country and experience its unique culture and friendly people.

Our Neighbor

96 years young

By Nancy Jennings Vern Holmquist loves to dance. Never mind that the voice of Our Town’s “The Ol’ Curmudgeon” column turned 96 years young in May. One recent column “Dancing…together” (May 1 edition), proved he could “cut a rug” like no other.

How the Silverton resident secured his own newspaper column 13 years ago is quite a story. A very serendipitous one.

What began years earlier with letters to the editor venting his dislike for a past U.S. President through the local weekly, turned into a writing gig. His thoughtful and prolific outpourings got the attention of Publisher Paula Mabry and her staff.

“It became a weekly thing. They’d ask ‘what do you have for us this week?’” he recalled, smiling.

When Our Town launched, Mabry decided it was time to offer him the opportunity to write his own column. He wasn’t sure if he should accept at first since he hadn’t ever had an article published. “I asked her ‘what

will I write about?’ She said ‘Any darn thing you want to.’”

Mabry found a treasured friend in The Ol’ Curmudgeon. “Vern’s attitude and approach to life is a gift he shares. He is interested and open. I think those who know him aspire to those qualities when they near the century mark,” she said.

Born in Sharon, N.D., Vern’s life path has led him through Montana, Nevada, California and now Oregon He met his first wife in Livingston, Mont.

Her father owned a bar there and one day she asked him to dance -- and they quickly began dating. They were married for 14 years and had three children. Her family was in the Arabian horse breeding business. The young couple had the distinction of selling one of their Arabian colts to Gene Autry, the famous movie star and “singing cowboy” of the 1930s and 1940s. The colt’s name was “Borkan,” which means “volcano” in Arabic.

Other professions included jewelry store watchmaker, appliance salesman, furniture

Vern Holmquist, Our Town’s Ol’ Curmudgeon, shares his secrets to life store manager and pipe/tobacco store owner.

every time I see our flag go by in a parade.

We didn’t talk much about what we did because it was all in a day’s work. We didn’t consider ourselves ‘heroes,’” he said.

Married for 47 years to his second wife, Velva, they raised his three children from his first marriage and her daughter -- and had eight grandchildren. He now has one great-grandchild.

Holmquist moved from Mount Angel to Silverton in 2007, not long after Velva’s passing that year. “I was a Protestant in a Catholic town – and a Liberal in a Conservative town,” he said. He loved Silverton’s artistic community. “This town is full of talent. There’s a lot of musicians, artists and writers. That was of interest,” he said.

Vern has an artistic flair of his own. He has pieced together an elaborate tapestry of photos, which adorns a wall in his home. Included in the montage of family and friends made over the years is a photo of well-known Pastor Cecil Williams, of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, Calif. Vern recalls seeing Angela Davis, the radical political activist of the 1970s,

However, in 1938, Vern did something which made him a “hero” of sorts in the eyes of local mothers in a dance class.

While teaching junior high school children some dance moves in a church basement in Bozeman, Mont., he incorporated “a swing step that took a little extra energy, and the mothers saw this. They thought it was a great way to keep in shape. They formed a club and I became their instructor of ‘jazzercise.’ The word wasn’t even invented yet,” he joked.

What’s his secret to starting a good day?

sitting in the pews.

He served in WWII as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Force. “I was in the Norden bombsite department, which enabled daylight bombing. I instructed the pilots on how to do an accurate bomb run,” he said.

“I’m very patriotic. My eyes cloud up

“In the morning, I take a half a glass of milk, some Metamucil, a half a banana and every vitamin known to man. I stick it in a blender and drink it. That’s my breakfast.”

His recipe for longevity has only one ingredient: “My love of life is what keeps me going,” he said.

Land plan

Farmer, water district battle invaders

Invasive Himalayan blackberry and aggressive weedy plants were winning despite a local landowner’s good faith efforts to replant native shrubs and trees after logging near a stream in 2012.

Happy Independence Day

www.edwardjones.com M e m b e r SIPC

Jeff Butsch of 4B Farms replanted seven acres near a tributary to Rock Creek, but the conifers he planted were slow to grow due to drought conditions in 2014 and 2015. The young plants were quickly overgrown by the rapidly growing weeds and became stunted because of the inadequate sunlight and water. Butsch is now working with Scott Eden at Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District to implement a conservation plan to restore the creekside and manage the noxious weeds.

Currently after two seasons of brush management and weed control, approximately 400 conifers from the original replanting are recovering.

Butsch is the chairman of the Pudding River Watershed Council. He opted to work with Clackamas SWCD as a part of the partnership between the council and the district. The partnership project is focused on the Clackamas side of the Pudding River watershed, specifically Rock, Garret, and Lower Butte creeks. The project’s goals are to help landowners solve problems that affect water quality.

Butsch said that he decided to work with Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation district because they have

a lot of expertise on erosion. He wanted to ensure that he protected his soil from eroding into the nearby stream and to reduce the amount of herbicide needed to manage the slope. He said that one of the benefits to working with the district is that they were able to advise him on specific plants for limiting slope erosion. He shared that he viewed the partnership project as a smart financial move, reducing the need for herbicide control.

The shade created by healthy trees near creeks also help keep water temperature cool for steelhead trout and salmon. Healthy streamside vegetation also helps filter excess nutrients and prevents pesticide drift from reaching the creek. Filtering out chemicals and nutrients before they reach the creek is one of the easiest strategies for improving water quality.

Over the next two years, more than 9,000 plants will be put in the ground at the Butsch farm. In addition to purchased plants, cuttings from existing native dogwoods and willows will be planted. The SWCD designed a planting plan that includes a selection of native shrubs, conifers, and herbaceous plants.

Butch said his experience with district staff shows “they really understand what farmers’ challenges are.”

For more information on the program, contact Pudding River Watershed Council Coordinator Anna Rankin, 503-548-7159 or go to puddingriverwatershed.org.

Redrawn Cartoon contest returns

By Steve Ritchie After a three-year hiatus, the Homer Davenport International Cartoon Contest is back, and organizers are planning to make it bigger and better.

The bill never became law, but it did inspire many more Davenport cartoons lampooning political bosses and their lackeys.

While one could argue that political cartoons have been replaced, to some extent, by political satire shows like SNL, The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight, Frederick says cartoons with a political message are coming back due to the popularity of comic books like those published by Dark Horse Comics, based near Portland, as well as the heightened political tensions of 2017.

He believes the changes in the contest will spark greater interest. The contest three years agor generated just 11 entries.

“I started looking at other cartoon contests because, frankly, we hadn’t raised our contest prize levels since 1984,” Frederick noted.

The first prize in the contest has been increased to $750 from $200, with $500 for second, $300 for third, and $200 for fourth. In addition, the entry fee has been increased from $10 to $25.

“It will give us a little more credibility as a contest,” Frederick said. “I think a success would be (to have) 100 entries and that is not out of the realm of possibility. That is admittedly optimistic, but I have been spreading the word far and wide.”

“After all, a festival celebrating a famous political cartoonist seems almost naked without some kind of cartoon contest,” contest coordinator Gus Frederick said, repeating the words of his friend Gordy Goschie.

A native of Silverton, Homer Davenport became famous for his no-holds-barred political cartoons published in William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal in the 1890s and early 20th century.

Davenport’s caricatures of political bosses during the 1896 U.S. presidential campaign and the 1897 “consolidation” of New York City caused so much angst among his targets that a bill was introduced in the New York State Senate to “restrain the unauthorized printing and publishing of portraits or alleged portraits of individuals.”

The Homer Davenport International Cartoon Contest has a history extending back more than 30 years. Frederick said that Lou Androes started the contest in 1984, and, later, Jack Hande coordinated it for a number of years. Frederick said he has been working on it since the mid-1990s.

Judging this year’s contest will be the responsibility of three judges: Lew Frederick, a state senator from Portland; Rick Lewis, formerly Silverton’s police chief and mayor and current state representative; and Dr. David Lewis, a cultural anthropologist from Salem.

Contest entries, which will be judged on artistic skill, clearly implied message, and overall appeal, will be displayed in the City Council chambers in the Silverton Community Center during the festival.

Festival goers will also have the opportunity to pick their favorite cartoons, as five non-monetary “People’s Choice” awards will be given based on popular vote. Winners will be announced on Saturday afternoon at the festival.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, July 28 at 5 p.m. Contest rules, entry forms, and much more information are available at www.homerdavenport.com/ tooncon.

Funding a dream

Trail receives grants for trail marker installation

By Melissa Wagoner Those who wish to experience the history and heritage of Mount Angel while getting in a good walk or bike ride will have a little help soon thanks to two grants which will provide informational plaques along the Mount Angel Heritage Trail.

There will be “a series of markers noting the historical significance of locations throughout the city,” Mount Angel City Manager Amber Mathiesen explained.

Developing a heritage trail has been has been a multi-year project of the Mount Angel Chamber of Commerce working in collaboration with the city, and representatives of Mount Angel Abbey, St. Mary Church, Queen of Angels Monastery, Fr.

“The purpose is to provide opportunities for exercise, tourism and history to come together,” Mathiesen said.

The project received an Oregon Community Foundation grant for $10,000 and a Marion County Community Project grant for $25,000 to move the trail from planning into construction and installation of the plaques for the up to 15 locations identified by the committee for the first phase.

The final number of markers installed will depend upon the bids received. The plaques will identify each sites and its historic or architectural significance.

“Both agencies award grants to projects that incorporate partnerships, tourism, outdoor activity and in-kind work or matching funds,” Mathiesen said.

In 2016 the chamber brought in a tourism professional from Portland to review the walking tour plan and compile site descriptions. Meanwhile the city

Moving up

Ex-Foxes star to play Division I baseball

By James Day

with their college teams:

Ex-Silverton High standout Anders Green will continue to pursue his baseball dreams at the highest level.

Morgan Anderson: The former Silverton athlete from Scotts Mills took 28th in the 1,500 and 37th in the 5,000 at the NCAA West Regional meet in Austin, Texas.

The redshirt senior finished her Oregon State University career with the No. 2 outdoor mark in the 1,500 (4:22.94), the third-best in the 5,000 (16:25.47) and fifth in the 800 (2:11.54). Indoors Anderson was second on the all-time OSU list in the mile (4:47.32), fourth in the 3,000 (9:43.11) and 800 (2:15.26).

Green, a 2015 Foxes graduate who just finished two star-studded seasons at the College of San Mateo in California, will move on to Dallas Baptist University in the fall. The Patriots, a Division I school that plays baseball in the Missouri Valley Conference, lost in the NCAA regionals this season to eventual College World Series participant TCU and has played in the post-season six of the past seven years under coach Dan Heefner.

She also participated on the Beavers’ No. 1 4x800 and distance medley relay squads while in the classroom she was selected to seven all-academic teams in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track by the Pac-12 Conference and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.

“It’s been my dream school since my junior year in high school,” Green told Our Town in a telephone interview from Seattle, where he is participating in a summer training program. “I’m real excited to be going there.”

At San Mateo Green, a 6-1, 190-pound switchhitting shortstop, helped lead the Bulldogs to a 60-23 record, including a glittering 18-2 Coast Golden Gate Conference mark this past season.

Green batted .351 this year, including seven home runs, 43 runs scored and 44 RBIs. “Anders was outstanding for us this year,” CSM coach Doug Williams told Our Town. “Statistically he was the best offensive player in the state the first half of the season. He was steady at shortstop and a team leader.

Great student and absolute class act. No one worked harder in the batting cages.”

Which is what Green is doing this summer with Driveline Baseball in Seattle.

“Everything,” Green said when asked what he is working on. “A lot of physical training. A lot of at-bats off of live pitching. It’s a good deal.”

Devin Geiger: The George Fox University senior from Silverton took third in the high jump (6-4.25) and fifth in the long jump (21-5.5) to help lead the Bruins to their first Northwest Conference men’s track and field championship.

Former Fox Anders Green will play for the Dallas Baptist University Patriots. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Green plans to major in kinesiology at Dallas Baptist and said a possible future career path might be in “player development.” Perhaps his own.

“He has a bright future in and out of the game,” Williams said. “I truly believe he will be successful in whatever he does. He caught the eyes of many professional scouts and I think he will have a chance to play professional baseball soon.”

Here is a look at how other athletes with area ties fared

Dustin Meyer: The Pacific University sophomore infielder from Silverton played in 30 games and started 25 for the 15-23 Boxers. Meyer batted .165 with six RBIs, five sacrifices and four stolen bases.

J’Rett Baker: The junior track and field athlete for Corban University took eighth for the Warriors in the javelin (165-8) and 11th in the discus (121-2) at the Cascade Collegiate Conference championships.

Aiden Bahr: The freshman men’s soccer defender at University of Northwestern/St. Paul saw action in two games for the Eagles.

Kennedy repeats

Tops in 2A

Kennedy High has won the Oregonian Cup for a second consecutive year.

The Trojans accumulated 2,190 points, which are awarded for team and activity performance in all Oregon School Activities Association-sanctioned competitions as well as academic and sportsmanship. West McEwen (1,947.5) was second in Class 2A, with Regis, Kennedy’s Tri-River Conference rival, finishing third with 1,890.

“The Oregonian Cup is a great honor,” said Kennedy Athletic Director Kevin Moffatt. “I think we have the best athletic program in all of 2A. We were always near the top, but we have been really good the past two years on the field and in the classroom. Almost all of our teams made the state playoffs, we had five teams finish in the top four and all our teams had GPAs over 3.0. Pretty incredible.”

Those top four teams were football, softball, girls cross country, girls basketball and boys track and field.

The Oregonian Cup will be awarded to Kennedy at a school assembly in the fall.

Silverton, meanwhile, also turned in an excellent all-around performance. The Foxes scored 2,937.5 points, good for fifth in Class 5A. Two Silverton squads, girls soccer and girls basketball, were runner-ups in the state, with the softball squad making it to the state semifinals.

The Foxes also turned in strong academic performances as well (see next item).

Academic all-state: For the fourth consecutive year all Kennedy sports and activity teams had at least a 3.0 gradepoint average.

“It helps when your best athletes are (also) your best students,” Moffatt said, mentioning salutatorian Bishop Mitchell, straight-A student Kaylin Cantu, co-valedictorians Brett Traeger and Jack Suing, plus Tressa Riedman and Hannah Arritola, both of whom turned in 4.0s.

“We really have an amazing group of kids going through here right now.,” Moffatt said. “They really have earned all these accolades through hard work. We also have great parent and community support, great coaches and great teachers.

Will be interesting if the new group of kids takes the same approach.”

ANIMALS

The best team academic performance for the Trojans was girls cross country with a 3.82. Volleyball had a 3.81, with softball at 3.73 and girls basketball at 3.71. Softball and baseball (3.58) finished with the top marks in their class, with volleyball and boys track and field (3.38) taking second.

The top academic performer for Silverton was girls cross country at 3.91, tied for fifth in Class 5A. Girls basketball and girls tracks and field, meanwhile, turned in 3.75s. Six Foxes teams finished third in their class: girls basketball, volleyball (3.65), boys track and field (3.63), choir (3.5), baseball (3.44) and football (3.19).

In addition, the Foxes’ dance and drill team’s 3.67 was fifth, with all classes competing together.

Silverton volleyball: The Foxes have hired 1993 Silverton graduate Linda Riedman to take over the program from Jill Walker. A three-sport standout at Silverton, Riedman earned her bachelor’s from Santa Clara University and picked up an MBA later on. She served as a basketball assistant at the University of Portland before embarking on a career in public relations.

“Silverton High School feels fortunate that she is back home and eager to contribute to the growth of the kids in the community,” said Foxes Athletic Director Wade Lockett. “She is extremely dedicated and committed to maximizing Silverton High School student athletes’ potential both on and off the court.”

Oregon sports awards: Kennedy High three-sport star Bishop Mitchell was one of three finalists for Johnny Carpenter Male Athlete of the Year for Class 4A-1A. Hunter Knox of Harrisburg won the award. The other finalist was Blake Sentman of Cottage Grove.

A Grin at the End

Old Glory and more

Time to celebrate the spirit of America

July is the time of year when a lot of people do a lot of flagwaving, and I’m one of them. But there’s more to America than Old Glory. Much more.

And they have prevailed.

Americans – all Americans – have a strength of character that has seen them through the lowest lows.

I just turned 64 – I know, I don’t look a day over 63 – and I’ve seen a lot of this country. I’ve lived on the East Coast, the West Coast, Alaska, Florida, Minnesota, Ohio and even on the island of Guam.

Americans know that the nation will thrive not because of an innate greatness but because of a strength of character and optimism that will make tomorrow better than today.

That strength is not confined to the rich, or to the white, black or hispanic. It is shared by all Americans who believe in our collective good.

I’ve almost died three different times – once when an Air Force bomber crashed into my family’s house.

I’ve been to 49 states. Don’t worry, North Dakota, I’ll make it there some day.

I’ve stood on a Florida motel balcony at 1 a.m. and watched a space shuttle ride a column of flame into space and light the sky brighter than daylight. I’ve stood by myself on a country road in Minnesota and been surrounded by thousands of Monarch butterflies perched on the limbs of cottonwood trees, all moving their wings in unison, as though they were breathing together.

I’ve been chased by a bear in Alaska and attacked by a meth addict in Oregon.

Through it all I’ve concluded that nothing, and no one, will ever diminish the love I have for this great nation.

But that love is based not so much on geography as it is

on the people who call themselves Americans. They might have arrived on the Mayflower – a Sampson was on board, probably the ship’s janitor. Or they might have arrived yesterday. They might have arrived at Ellis Island in New York, or crossed the border from Mexico into Texas looking for work.

They are all Americans.

Time and time again, they’ve been asked to send their sons and daughters into harm’s way. Time and again, they have been reminded to “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Time and again, they’ve come through the darkest hours of wars, economic meltdowns, natural disasters, personal tragedies.

If you doubt me, look around, and listen. Americans speak with their hearts. Yes, some are ornery, and some are snarky, but all speak what they believe, not what they are told.

I like the Fourth of July, a lot. The hometown parades, the picnics and barbecues, and the fireworks. I like the fact that we remember where the United States of America came from, and that our nation, since 1776, remains a vibrant, quirky, loud and, above all else, a totally unique nation devoted to the many things we all love – life and liberty among them.

So have a happy Fourth of July.

As you stand watching a fireworks display or parade, take a minute to turn to your fellow Americans and congratulate them on a job well done.
