Something To Do

Festival season Coolidge McClaine Park plays host to two community favorites The sun is out, the days are warm and it is the time of year when friends and neighbors look for opportunities to be together and share some fun.

August features two of Silverton’s favorite festivals, one a celebration of community and one a tapestry of the arts, both in Coolidge McClaine Park.

This year’s Homer Davenport Community Festival runs Aug. 3-5 with all the key ingredients: music – featuring Ben Rue, crafts, food – including early morning pancakes hot off the griddle, and drink.

Plus there are the fan favorites that spill out into the streets like Saturday’s Hometown Parade at 10 a.m. and the Flywheels Car Show and Sunday’s 9 a.m.

Fun Run and mid-day Davenport Races.

As a community event the festival salutes Homer Davenport. He’s a hometown boy who made good in the Big Apple as a famed political cartoonist for Hearst Newspapers.

Looking Back

Upon the hill

121-year-old Grange Hall continues to serve community

By Mary Owen

Union Hill Grange Hall

Marjorie Tate White fondly remembers good times at the Union Hill Grange Hall.

15755 Grange Rd., Sublimity Monthly Potluck Third Thursday, 6:30 p.m.

Hall rentals: 503-769-4244

A descendant of the original pioneers that organized the local grange, White, now 90 years young, was born, raised and still resides on the family farm just down the road from the Grange Hall. White and her parents met at the hall on Friday nights for the business and planning meetings for both the adult and juvenile grange activities.

“This was followed by Saturday evenings of social activities such as dinner, a friendly game of pinochle, or watching as her parents and their friends danced the night away,” said Annette Jensen.

“The Grange has always been a hub for friendships and gathering as well as supporting the community by offering its spacious environment to host local events for nonprofits like local fire departments, Santiam Canyon Stampede, and others such as Molly Moe’s Antique Faire.”

Historically, Jensen said the Grange organization itself dates back to 1867 and Civil War times, and is the oldest American agriculture advocacy group.

“During that time to current, granges were created across the state to gather communities together to advocate for laws and policies to support the farmer,” she explained.

“Local buildings were used as gathering places for meetings and social events for families and friends. A sense of community allowed friends and neighbors to band together to support each other through difficult times as well as celebrate

Union Hill Grange Hall is funded by annual membership dues as well as rental of the building for venues such as weddings, reunions, birthdays, retirements, retreats and more.

successes and their bounty.”

Located between Silverton and Sublimity, Union Hill Grange Hall is the only structure on Grange Road.

“It’s surrounded by beautiful farmland,” Jensen said, who is a third-generation member and currently holds the positions of secretary and rental venue organizer.

The structure was originally built in 1897 and used as a church. In 1919, its function changed to that of a dance hall, and in 1929 Union Hill Grange Hall #728 was established.

In addition to the original church-turnedGrange Hall, the local Oak Grove oneroom school house was moved from its previous location a short distance down the road on Victor Point Road to its current home adjacent and attached to the Union Hill Grange Hall.

started with many of the farming pioneers of the area and still continues with second, third and fourth generations of those families,” Jensen said.

“Historically, the Grange was comprised of farmers drawing together to support each other back when the majority of the population was involved in the farming process in one way or another. Today everyone is involved in the consumption of the food that the farmer produces, but only a small fraction is involved in the farming process itself.

“Many of the members of the community now hold additional employment outside of farming and although they may live on a farm, farming is no longer the center of their lives as it once was,” she added. “As a result, membership has dwindled.”

Also in part due to the natural aging of the longtime pioneers who are reaching into their 80s and 90s, Jensen said the

“We are also available for local nonprofits such as 4-H groups and Future Farmers of America to hold meetings or events,” Jensen said.

“We use these funds for the preservation and repairs of the hall and grounds as well as to establish scholarships for local FFA groups of other community needs via requests from the local Service Integration Teams.”

Monthly potlucks are held at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at the Grange Hall. Meetings are held at the same time and date.

“Come and join us!” Jensen said.

The Grange, officially known as the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a fraternal organization with a rich history and highly visible community presents in the United States. Its motto is: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”

Moving forward

Hazard removal at former school site on council agenda

By James Day Long anticipated work to turn the former Eugene Field School site on North Water Street into a new Silverton civic center may begin soon.

The city is accepting bids on the first phase of the plan: asbestos and underground storage tank removal on the school site. City Manager Christy Wurster told Our Town that nine companies participated in walkthroughs at the site, with final bids due to be received on July 26.

The City Council is scheduled to review the bids at its Aug. 6 meeting. The winning contractor will face a 45-day deadline to complete the work. A demolition contract will come later, Wurster said.

In addition, the city will spend $30,000 this fall on a community outreach process for the project, which is scheduled to include a police station, City Hall and new council chambers.

Silverton City Council

Monday, Aug. 6, 7 p.m.

Silverton Community Center 421 S. Water St. The city received a state grant for $20,000, with the city required to match with $10,000. The city will hire a consultant who will “provide the recommended project elements, concept plan and general site development program,” Wurster said. Surveys will be done and a community workshop is planned for September or October.

No timetable has been set for the project, although the council goal calls for a police station within five years and a City Hall within 10.

Code hearing continues Aug. 6 will also be the second public hearing before the City Council on the proposed code changes which would pave the way for a small-unit transitional housing shelter on church property.

Although a formal proposal for the shelter has not been submitted and is not on the agenda, the code changes being presented for council action outline the

requirements for the conditional use permit which would be required. At the July 2 meeting testimony was ended after an hour due to the length of the agenda.

Proponents said the code changes would allow Silverton to address a local problem.

Opponents cited concerns over safety and property values.

Briefs

Fall event calendar notices due of Lake Oswego to build a subdivision on the west side of Mount Angel went before the city’s Planning Commission at a July 19 public hearing, but a request by Stafford for a continuance postponed any deliberations until the commission’s Aug. 30 meeting.

Stafford hopes to subdivide 20 acres of the Wachter Meadows land between West Church Street and West Marquam Street into 63 lots. An earlier application to the Planning Commission was deemed incomplete by city staff because of the lack of traffic and geotechnical information.

If Wachter Meadows is ultimately approved it would be one of the largest developments in town in recent years, according to Amber Mathiesen, city manager.

The Maryhill Park project, approved in 2005, includes a total of 99 units, with the final phase still in progress. The Grandview 55-and-over community, which features 56 units, was approved in 2015 and remains under construction.

Silverton Together publishes an Events Calendar three times a year. If your group or organization has an event that is open to the public, or you would like to be included in the Ongoing Groups and Resources section of the Fall 2018 calendar – which covers Sept. 15 – Feb. 15, the deadline for submission is Aug. 24.

“Regardless of experience, regardless of what you know about education and people, challenges will come and even if you expect them sometimes the lack of experience makes you ill prepared,” he said. “You learn a lot. How to deal with situations and communicate carefully.

Everyone communicates differently. I like to think I’m friendly, outgoing, open and honest, but you need to make sure you are communicating effectively with every person. But the challenges were there.

Lockett took over as principal after two years as assistant principal-athletic director. Silver Falls Superintendent Andy Bellando shifted some personnel to ensure Lockett had the backing and mentorship he would need to succeed.

“The support system worked well,” Bellando said. “Assistant Superintendent Dandy Stevens served as Wade’s professional mentor for the year. The first year as a high school principal can be quite challenging and Wade proved that he is up for it. I appreciate his communication efforts, his involvement in the community and his personal connections with students and staff members.

“Students in a large high school are sometimes not even aware who their principal is. That’s not the case with Wade. SHS students know Wade and have a great deal of respect for him.

I am excited for Wade’s second year at the helm.”

Lockett said he was particularly proud of this year’s freshman class, with 333 of the

340 students on track to graduate.

“That’s remarkable,” Lockett said.

“Success during the freshman year has a strong correlation to success throughout their entire career. And that’s a hard transition. A lot of these kids have gone to the same school for eight years. And those are small schools. We have 1,300 students, and it looks and feels different.

“I love the fact that our staff works to get to know these kids and their families and gets them involved. That makes this school very unique. It’s a big school with a small-town approach. That’s why you see a lot of success here.

“We’re helping guide kids at a very formative time in their lives and it’s fun.

There are not that many occupations in life where you get involved like this. We are guiding, we are interacting, we are a part of fun experiences for kids. That’s pretty unique.”

Bellando noted that there will be just one principal-level change in the Silver Falls district this fall. Kevin Palmer, who served this past year as co-athletic director and human resources administrator, will move back to the principal slot at Butte Creek. Therese Gerlits, who ran Butte Creek last year, is taking a leave of absence.

Meanwhile, the Mt. Angel School District will be welcoming a pair of new principals. Dale Pedersen takes over at the high school for Sean Aker, and Jared Tiecke is the new middle school principal.

Tiecke replaces Jennifer McCallum, who left after five years in the post because of the challenge of her commute from Vancouver.

is an extremely challenging leadership position. Principals in small rural high schools wear a lot of hats and have hands-on responsibilities that encompass all areas of leading and managing a comprehensive high school. We selected Mr. Pedersen because he is ready for the challenge, he is prepared professionally and truly wants to be in our community at Kennedy High School.”

He was selected from a pool of 19 applicants, said Superintendent Troy Stoops. Because of recent turnover in the post, the district used a different screening process, involving teachers, students and parents.

“The process was the most comprehensive process we have been through for hiring a principal,” said Stoops, a former Kennedy principal. “Each candidate went through three 45-minute interviews, a studentled tour and a writing activity. Two of the interview panels included parents, teachers and administrators. The third committee was entirely high school students. The students leading the tours also provided feedback. Mr. Pedersen rose to the top in all five areas of the process.

Twenty students, 14 staff and five parents were directly involved.

Pedersen’s first official day on the job will be Aug. 1, although he participated in listening sessions with school staff before the end of the school year in June.

Tiecke also comes from the Salem-Keizer district, where he has been a behavioral specialist and Instructional Mentor at Brush College Elementary School this past year. Prior to Brush College, Tiecke was at Houck Middle School where he taught math, was an instructional coach and held multiple leadership roles. He also is an adjunct faculty member at Chemeketa Community College where he has taught accounting and business classes since 2012.

Helping Hands

The third freedom

By Brenna Wiegand

New group seeks to address shelter needs for homeless

lot of food and shelter insecurity, so it really tailored who I was as an educator,” Finicle said. Yet her real training started long before.

It took just one winter for Silverton Warming Shelter volunteers to realize Silverton’s got a homelessness crisis.

Silverton Sheltering Services 971-343-1099 shelteringsilverton.org

As a child Finicle suffered bouts of housing insecurity, her family of five traveling up and down the coast living out of their car or a tiny travel trailer.

The past two years they’ve provided a place for people to stay in freezing weather. However, once it gets above 34 degrees, the shelter closes, leaving little settling-in time and even less for workers to connect with the people and their needs.

How to help Offer ideas for a downtown office space; Provide expertise, services, time, money, or items; Sponsor a bed at the shelter for $10 a night.

“When you’re out on the street and invisible it’s the worst feeling in the world,” Finicle said. “I saw my parents working 12, 14 hours a day. Some of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen can’t afford housing – and a lot of it is luck.”

A core group enlisted support and by April nonprofit Silverton Sheltering Services was born.

“We needed to address the situation in a more focused, organized way,” Brent Jacobsen, Silverton Sheltering Services Board President said. “We’ve got a board made up of dynamic, caring people, each with their own areas of expertise and experience.” Jacobsen, Ph.D, recently retired from a 40-year career in education.

Board Members Brent Jacobsen, President Pastor Leah Stolte-Doerfler, Vice President Sarah White, Executive Director & Case Manager Michele Finicle, Secretary & Director of Development and Fundraising Judy Goetz, Treasurer Andrew Sprauer, Advisor

Of the visitors to last winter’s warming shelter at Oak Street Church, 31 individuals were homeless – 25 with strong Silverton ties. Silver Falls School District identifies 70 to 90 students as homeless.

“Our fear is that those numbers will continue to grow,” Finicle said. “Right now, it’s pretty invisible; they’re tucked away in the bushes in several locations around town. We need to get on the front end of things before it becomes a very visible problem like it has in Salem and Portland.

“We’re out in the trenches; we understand how significant a problem it is,” Jacobsen said. “You can either sit back and pretend it’s not happening or get proactive; see how to plug some holes, help some people and help them help themselves.”

“We won’t be successful unless the whole community gets involved,” Finicle said. “We’re just the body bringing all the players to the table.”

Huge affirmation came in the form of a $25,000 grant from mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency – the agency’s entire yearly funding for rural Marion County.

They support the St. Edward’s Episcopal Church proposal for “cottages” for women needing shelter and services and are seeking to hold a community homeless education summit.

“The grant is huge; it provides seed money for the warming shelter but it’s also a vote of confidence that the team we put together is professional enough and that they believe in us,” Michele Finicle, SSS Secretary and Development Director, said. She served as North Willamette Valley Habitat for Humanity Development Director and was the alternative education teacher for suspended and expelled students in three school districts.

Most important, however, is securing a place for Silverton Sheltering Service’s hub of operations. They’re looking around. By Thanksgiving they plan to open a seven-day-a-week shelter through February.

“Someday we’d like to have a place that’s open during the day, where people can leave their belongings while

“If you haven’t known people who are homeless, it can be intimidating,” SSS Executive Director and Case Manager Sarah White said. “We have preconceived notions of what leads to homelessness that don’t always align with the reality. When you do get to know them, you understand that they’re just like the rest of us. They simply lack housing.”

She told of an ailing grandfather who got custody of three grandsons. He arranged for a bigger apartment and moved out his things. The boys arrived, but the moving date kept getting pushed back and the little family resorted to camping at Silver Falls Park while they waited.

The apartment deal ultimately fell through and with

“One of the Four Freedoms is Freedom from Want.

That’s what we’re trying to accomplish here.”

– Michele Finicle, Silverton Sheltering Services showed up at First Christian one Wednesday night.

The church put her up in a hotel and she met with the sheltering group who found she had people in Boise.

They made the connection and provided a bus ticket.

Because of that she thrives today.

Silverton Sheltering Services was formed to address Silverton’s growing homeless crisis. Its Board of Directors are, from left, Sarah White, Pastor Leah Stolte-Doerfler, Judy Goetz, Michele Finicle and Brent Jacobsen. Not shown: Andrew Sprauer. BRENNA WIEGAND

scarce low-income apartments in town they found themselves camping in the woods indefinitely, sometimes sneaking into parks or onto private land.

“Some of the kids were really little at the time,” White said. “The grandpa had serious health problems and ended up having a heart attack while they were out in the woods. His grandson, who was not old enough, had to drive him to the emergency room in the middle of the night.”

When too many family members under one roof raises threats of eviction, adult children will often protect their parents’ housing by moving out, telling their parents they have a place to stay so they don’t worry. But they don’t.

“From a community point of view, it is our responsibility and our joy to share what we have and to come alongside our neighbor, and whoever has the most need is the neighbor we are called to first,” said Pastor Leah StolteDoerfler of Immanuel Lutheran Church and SWS Vice President. “People with homes have all kinds of ideas about what it looks like or feels like for people who don’t necessarily have a home right now, and to be able to have those conversations in the community absolutely will benefit us all.”

Three years ago, as a caseworker for Silverton Area Community Aid, White calculated the average rental price in Silverton at $1,300; now she thinks it’s closer to $1,600.

Judy Goetz is new to town, landing in Michele Finicle’s neighborhood nine months ago. The 30-year self-employed accountant is now plunging into the community as Silverton Sheltering Services Treasurer.

“It’s a math problem,” White said. “My heart is with those who are having a hard time and I’m definitely not alone in trying to help wherever I can.”

“I’ve never been homeless, but I feel like everybody is a paycheck away from there,” Goetz said. “I’ve never worked for a nonprofit and I’m excited about it.”

For years local churches have provided free, weekly community meals: Monday dinner at Oak Street Church; Wednesday dinner at First Christian Church; and Saturday lunch at Trinity Lutheran. Volunteers typically serve 500 people a week and are poised to respond to people who show up in dire circumstances, as when an older woman, disoriented and without a place to sleep,

Jacobsen, third generation Silverton native, said the effort comes from a place of heart and concern – for all of Silverton.

“We all love our little community,” Jacobsen said. “We’re trying to get out ahead of this and keep Silverton the beautiful, unique little village it is.”

Kick like a mule

By Melissa Wagoner When 503 Distilling began producing their first canned cocktail – the Wicked Mule – they didn’t know what to expect.

“The response has been really, really good,” 41-year-old Silvertonian Andy Diacetis said. “We’re selling 150 cases a month.

We’re selling everything we can make.”

The 503 Distilling trio – which includes Diacetis as well as Oregon City friends Dave Schleef and Rusty Caldwell – started their company in the fall of 2017 almost by accident. Diacetis – who owns a wine filtration business – had been looking into expanding into alcohol removal.

“In California these large wineries will ship wine to these companies to remove – say 0.2 percent of alcohol,” Diacetis said. “You get to keep the byproduct which is neutral spirits and a lot of them will sell it to brandy makers – for instance.”

Diacetis and his friends were contemplating utilizing the neutral spirits Diacetis’ company would be producing to

Fermentation scientist makes popular summer cocktail “One of the biggest challenges is we’re having to educated everybody about what this really is,” Diacetis sad. “Some people think it’s a beer. Some think it’s a ginger beer.”

503 Distilling

Sold locally at Silverton Beverage 920 North First St., Silverton www.503distilling.com make their own line of spirits.

“Originally it started out as vodka and gin and then we went to the liquor store and we saw all the businesses that are out there and we thought, ‘How are we going to compete with that?’”

Diacetis also noted the majority of firsttime customers expect to be disappointed but are pleasantly surprised.

“One of my favorite things is seeing people’s responses,” Diacetis laughed.

“They’re eyes light up and they say, ‘This is really good.’”

Around that time Diacetis’ potential alcohol removal system fell through and the team made a leap in an entirely new direction.

Word of mouth has been spreading fast and the Wicked Mule is flying off the shelves in liquor stores around the state and in California.

“We thought, ‘What if we started canning cocktails,” Diacetis said. “It all just fell into place.”

“If what was in the can wasn’t very good it wouldn’t be successful,” Diacetis said.

“We’re having a hard time keeping up with production. We’re in 70 liquor stores around the state.”

The group decided to take their initial plunge by releasing their version of the well-known cocktail, the Moscow Mule because of both its popularity and its familiarity.

Aside from the taste, Diacetis thinks the extreme popularity of the Wicked Mule is based on two important factors – the

portability of the can and the fact that Oregon is already a hotspot of craft brewing for beer, as well as wine.

“Craft beer in a can has had huge growth – and canned wine. It makes sense that this would be the next logical progression,” he pointed out. “Plus people in Oregon love to get out and do things outdoors.”

The trio now have a blood orange Gray Hound – the Blood Hound – and have their sights set on the Old Fashioned as their next cocktail to conquer.

“We’re not well-known enough to do something off the board,” Diacetis mused. “We also want to do some limited releases, like maybe a barrel-aged cocktail.”

In the meantime, Diacetis is enjoying his new-found success and watching those around him enjoy what he has made.

“It’s been really fun,” he said. “We were at the [Oregon Garden Brew Camp] and seeing people carrying them around – that was cool.”

Recycled ruminants

his children’s college town.

You may have noticed the over 10-foottall, 450-pound majestic elk looming large on C Street – and the deer family (buck, doe and fawn) on Front Street in Silverton.

“All of our kids attended Northwest Bible College in Kirkland, Washington.

Kirkland has a statue on every corner.”

Making their debut in April, the figures are so lifelike they almost appear to move.

Silverton resident Jim Prince, 70, sourced and purchased the wildlife forms, which are made from all-recycled aluminum, including Coke and Pepsi cans.

“I got them on eBay. They were less than 10 percent of the cost of a bronze statue.

These came from Texas. The molds are made at a sister company in Mexico.

They don’t age and have a lifetime wear policy,” Prince said.

“I read an article on affordable statues.

What caught my interest was instead of being brass with a bronze finish, these are aluminum with a paint finish.”

Jim’s true inspiration to further beautify Silverton came from a unique feature in

Cathy and Jim Prince next to C Street’s elk.

PEREZ 1 PEST CONTROL INC.

Jim and his wife, Cathy, own Front Street Properties where the sculptures were installed. The couple has been married for 47 years, have four children and eight grandchildren.

Jim assumed he’d need a permit from the city to install the statues. He was pleasantly surprised. The sight lines for drivers around the corners weren’t obstructed, so he was free to place the figures without a permit.

“We hope others get onboard with it,” Cathy said. “Silverton is our home and we just want to have it attractive and nice.”

“We have plans to place one or two more.

I’d like to see the Mural Society get involved. I think this would go hand-inhand with them,” Jim said.

The new apartment complex behind Wilco now also displays an elk.

Postpartum depression

By Melissa Wagoner Hilary Dumitrescu knew what postpartum depression was before she became a mom – she had heard stories of famous mothers who battled the illness and had a sister who suffered from its effects – but none of that knowledge prepared her for what she experienced after the birth of her first child.

“I thought having the baby would be the hardest part,” she said. “I figured once she was safely out that I’d be an old pro – wrong. The next three months were a mishmash of intense, terrifying love, and complete physical and psychological misery. Oh, and sleep deprivation.”

Dumitrescu is far from alone in her experience. The third leading cause of maternal death in this country, an estimated one out of six women will experience some degree of postpartum depression, according to Jennifer Ungarwulff – a therapist at Mother Heart Counseling in Silverton.

“All the life change, the huge role shift,

that can just shatter your world,” she explained. “I think it’s really important for women who are having any sort of mild depression to come in.”

hopelessness, negative self-judgment and a hyper-focus on the baby.

Audry Van Houweling – a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in women and girls at She Soars Psychiatry in Silverton – agrees that diagnosis and treatment is incredibly important. She sees healthy mothers as the backbone of the community and worries that – if unaddressed – postpartum depression can develop into ongoing sadness, isolation and despair for the sufferer leading to very real impacts on the health and development of the infant.

“There was the immediate reaction of being constantly anxious about her safety and comfort,” she said. “I was crying all the time. I was terrified to put the baby down – couldn’t sleep unless she was on me or my husband had her. I couldn’t leave her with anyone, not even my parents or sisters. I was just miserable.”

“Healthy, happy moms raise healthy, happy kids,” Ungarwulff said. “There’s this trickle down.”

But determining if a woman is suffering from depression can be difficult. Often the woman herself may not recognize the symptoms, which can manifest in a variety of ways including: irritability, feeling overwhelmed, tearfulness,

For Dumitrescu, her depression included a combination of all of these symptoms.

The cause of feelings like these – depression, inadequacy and anxiety – is not entirely known but there are theories. Genetic predisposition – including a family history of bi-polar disorder, depression or anxiety – as well as psychosocial influences – such as a lack of support system, stress and sleep deprivation – can all be contributing factors, according to Ungarwulff.

“Postpartum depression is a really normal reaction to a really hard situation,” she said.

Added to the risk factors are the very real physiological and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth, ones that can exacerbate or even cause illnesses like hypothyroidism and autoimmune disorders.

“There are very real physiological changes that occur during and post pregnancy,” Van Houweling said. “Following birth, hormone levels drop dramatically, which also directly cause fluctuations in neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that can contribute to depressive symptoms.”

Ungarwulff noted that the symptoms of depression generally occur any time between pregnancy and a year after the birth but some women may still feel the effects for years and can even experience a continuing depression from one pregnancy to the next. That overlap is what Silverton resident and mother of two Brianna Wolterman experienced.

“Postpartum was so difficult,” she remembered. “Nothing about

There’s no support for childcare and preschool culturally. We’re not supporting you – there’s no support for you.”

Dumitrescu agrees and suggests one method communities can aid new mothers is by not waiting until they ask for help. Instead, she recommends banding together in support and commandeering daily chores like house cleaning, laundry and cooking dinner.

Wolterman explained that she never sought treatment for her depression and instead made excuses for how she felt, telling herself she was “fine.” According to Ungarwulff this kind of denial is common and can make it difficult to recognize which women are suffering.

“It’s the idea that being a mom should be easy – that it’s not really work – it sort of undermines the value of mothers,” she said. “It’s part of that ‘women need to be perfect’ in the world. They’re not allowed to be imperfect or struggling.”

Ungarwulff thinks the solution lies in community support for families – and mothers in particular.

“People don’t live in the same city or state as their relatives,” she said. “A lot of people don’t get paid maternity leave.

she said. “Everybody feels guilty when they take time for themselves, but it doesn’t have to be super extreme. It’s always good to take care of yourself.”

Ungarwulff also urges women who are newly pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant to be proactive in discussing their personal risk factors for postpartum depression with their doctor, midwife or a mental healthcare provider and to come up with a preliminary plan.

“Because if you ask her, ‘what can I do?’ you’re just adding another decision to five billion decisions she’s already making,” she said.

Ungarwulff also suggests women make time for self-care. Although it can seem overwhelming to a new mother; good nutrition, 25 to 30 minutes of mild to moderate exercise every day, aromatherapy, sad lights and support groups can all be helpful ways of boosting both physical and mental health.

“I know what it’s like, and it’s not easy,”

“The earlier you go in the better,” she said.

Van Houweling also advised mothers to treat themselves and each other with compassion and to avoid the pitfalls of expecting perfection.

“I think there is a lot of comparison, judgment, and continued stigma that is made even more immediate by social media,” she said. “Women can be hard on “Aneach d theother.

Chemeketans

Hikers, climbers, bikers band together for outdoor fun

By Melissa Wagoner

knows the trees – you have a little professorship if you’re interested in hearing.”

In 1992 Mary Coleman decided to take a hike. Normally an avid golfer, Coleman wanted to branch out but her husband and golfing partner wasn’t all that interested.

Her hiking career could have ended there but then she discovered the Chemeketans – an outdoor club of over 600 members whose primary activity is day hiking.

Chemeketan leaders are also the persons who select the hikes or activities on offer – each taking a month and choosing their favorite spots for that time of year.

“I’m queen of July,” Coleman laughed. “My favorites are Jefferson Park, Coffin Mountain – whatever hike is blooming is always awesome.”

“My husband doesn’t hike and so I have several hundred of my best friends to go hike,” Coleman laughed. “I had to rent a friend – the Chemeketans.”

Established in 1928, the idea for the Chemeketans came about when a group of climbers summited Mount Hood and – looking over the valley below – decided to establish a hiking group in Salem.

“They summited all the mountains around here,” Coleman said. “They were a force.”

Still going strong over 90 years later, the Chemeketans are a hub of information and activities for hikers, backpackers, climbers and even paddlers.

“We cover all gamuts,” Coleman said. “It doesn’t matter who you are, if you can do it with joy in your heart, you’re in.” An established non-profit, the Chemeketans are completely volunteer-run. And with a membership fee of $20 per year, it is affordable for just about everyone.

“It’s cheap, it’s healthy, it makes no impact,” Coleman said.

“There are no negatives but sweat and bad knees.”

With two to three hikes on each weekend day and several scheduled during the week, it is an option for those with a busy schedule. Each outing is listed with drive time, hike distance and elevation gain. They are also rated by difficulty ranging from “Dawdler” – for photographers and those who are slow moving – through “Very Hard” – for those who like a longer, more strenuous climb.

If you can walk up Danger Hill without stopping to rest then you can be in with the hard group. But if you start out with an easy hike you should be fine.”

Each hike is directed by a leader who takes reservations, verifies that all in attendance are appropriately attired, with water and snacks and heads up the hike.

“Most of our leaders are really good,” Coleman said.

“They make sure people are included. And there’s always somebody who knows the geology, somebody who

For those with children Coleman suggested paying attention to the hike’s difficulty and coming prepared.

“It’s an all-day event,” she said. “You leave home at eight and you get home at five.”

Hikes generally begin at a common meeting place – often the Sublimity Park and Ride – and drivers are compensated for their gas.

“We’re hopelessly prompt,” she warned. “When they say, ‘Eight o’clock meeting time,’ we’re ready to roll at eight o’clock.”

Apart from day hikes, Coleman also enjoys the Chemeketans’ annual outing. Held in a remote wilderness area, 95 campers convene every year for a week – or two – of tent camping, day hikes and outdoor fun.

“All you do is set up your tent and hike with your friends,” she said. “I’ve missed two in the last 30 years because it’s a wonderful time.”

Coleman suggests that anyone who is interested in giving hiking a go – or who is new to the area and looking to explore – sign on with the Chemeketans. “I always tell people to sign up and ask questions,” she said. “If you even think you might want to try it, give it a try.”

Academic stars

Silverton, JFK athletes score well on state lists

On the scoreboard that matters most athletes at Silverton and Kennedy turned into some superlative academic results for the 2018-19 school year.

The Foxes featured 21 sports and activity teams that averaged a 3.2 grade point average or better. The top performer by GPA was girls cross country, with a 3.92 that earned Silverton the seventh spot in Class 5A. The top-ranked team was girls basketball, which was second with a 3.87.

Here, in rank order, is a list of the other top 10 teams: choir (tie 3rd, 3.49), baseball (tie 4th, 3.48), boys track and field (tie 5th, 3.52), football (5th, 3.21), girls track and field (6th, 3.73), boys basketball (7th, 3.42), boys soccer (7th, 3.33), girls tennis (tie 7th, 3.74), girls swimming (8th, 3.65), boys golf (8th, 3.36), band (8th, 3.51) and boys tennis (8th, 3.62).

Also scoring well above 3.0 but finishing outside the top 10 were volleyball (3.61), softball (3.59), dance and drill (3.57), girls soccer (3.5), boys cross country (3.41),

speech (3.38) and boys swimming (3.36).

Kennedy, meanwhile, had two squads place first, girls basketball with a 3.91 and boys swimming with a 3.81. Overall the Trojans had 11 teams at 3.0 or above. In order of rank they were: volleyball (2nd, 3.85), softball (2nd, 3.83), baseball (2nd, 3.61), boys track and field (3rd, 3.33), band (4th, 3.05), boys basketball (tie 5th, 3.49), girls track and field (6th, 3.62), girls cross country (tie 10th, 3.67). ), girls swimming (tie 12th, 3.6), Bowling: Silverton’s Madi Burton traveled to Dallas, Texas, to compete in the Junior Gold national tournament.

Burton advanced via her performance in the state tournament.

Burton competed in the U20 division because the Junior Gold does not have the U17 category that Oregon uses. Competing against many more experienced bowlers Burton finished 501st out of 855 entrants. Burton averaged 166.75 and closed the tournament with her best game, a 226. Madi Burton Nearly 4,000 American and international bowlers participated.

Bowling runs in the family. Burton’s grandmother, Darline Vanderbeck, was a league bowler and bowling instructor in Silverton in the 1960s.

Trap shooting: Silverton’s first-year squad sent two athletes to a national tournament in Mason, Michigan.

Chris Shepherd finished 339th out of 1,274 shooters, He qualified for the finals and hit 97 out of 100 targets in the preliminary round. He was 88 for 100 in

the finals. Cameron Phillips also participated, hitting 93 out of 100 in qualifying and wound up 507th. Phillips finished just one target short of the finals cutoff mark.

“All told the season was a success and we’ve got a solid foundation going into the 2019 spring league season,” Foxes coach Kevin Palmer told Our Town.

Softball: A 14B softball team coached by Silverton’s Ralph Cortez has advanced to the western nationals, which run July 29 through Aug. 4 at Wallace Marine Park in Salem. The squad is comprised of players from Silverton and Mount Angel. Our Town will have an update on how the squad performed in our Aug. 15 edition.

Fall update: High school athletes in football, soccer, cross country, volleyball and cheer can begin conditioning drills Monday, Aug. 6. The long-range forecast shows it will be 84 degrees that day. First

A Grin at the End

‘Another perfect day...’

Randy Newman had it right: “I Love L.A.” – with an exclamation mark! I and a couple of my kids recently spent a long weekend in Los Angeles and, while I’m certainly no expert on that city, there’s way more to it than meets the eye.

I once was talking with an acquaintance who moved to L.A. from the Midwest. I asked him if he liked it.

He thought a minute, and said, ”I like everything about it, especially the dysfunction of it.”

I thought about that as I drove across L.A. with one of my sons, who was moving there after a couple of years in San Francisco. The contrast between the two cities was stark. San Francisco is a gorgeous town. It looks as though it was designed by Disney Imagineers.

Everything – well, almost everything – seems to be in the right place and the right size and scale. The hills give the landscape drama and context. Come to think of it, I don’t think the folks at

Thoughts on the City of Angels, or Dreams Leary, the Harvard professor who made a name for himself by promoting LSD. And that was just the first day.

Disney could do better.

But, boy howdy, San Francisco is expensive. A “cheap” apartment there goes for $3,200 a month. Try making those ends meet. San Francisco is perfect if you have a fat wallet.

L.A. is completely different. While San Francisco is handsome, L.A. seems to me to be a working city, a place where people aspire to big things. It’s a beehive.

L.A. is also the city of dreams. Big dreams, small dreams, shattered dreams, and dreams that came true. You can see it as you walk around any part of that sprawling city. We met an aspiring actress from Atlanta, a woman from Croatia, another from France, others from near and far, all following their dreams.

Those are the people I envy. Each of us has a dream, usually when we are younger, and because of a variety of factors, we decide to compromise.

We learned about interesting stuff that you would probably never learn anywhere else.

The next thing we know, we are 65 and wondering what life would have been like if we weren’t so willing to give up on our dreams. In L.A., those dreams are still alive.

A lady in a hotel bar told us about selling arms to the Kurds in eastern Turkey. And what it was like to hang out with “Tim”

L.A. is full of surprises. We spent a Saturday exploring and literally stumbled across the most amazing car museum

I’ve ever seen – the Peterson Automotive Museum – which was just down the street from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Too cool!

I always worry about driving in L.A. After all, about 10 million people live in Los Angeles County. That’s 2 1/2 times the population of Oregon.

As we headed to the L.A. airport, we were worried about traffic, and while it didn’t go 70 mph it kept moving and we arrived in plenty of time for our flight.

I was reminded of that when we got back to Portland, found our car and, at 11 p.m. on a Sunday, sat in a traffic jam, parked on I-205. And that was before all the roadwork started.

Yep, I love L.A., for all of its vibrance, its quirks and its dreams, just as I don’t love Portland for its ineptitude.
