Whimsy has your wish list covered!

Benedictine Brewery

By Brenna Wiegand One hundred volunteers – the majority monks and seminarians – gathered Nov. 11 on a gentle slope below Mount Angel Abbey to raise the frame for the Abbey’s new brewery and tap room.

Benedictine Brewery is expected to bring a much-needed revenue stream and a way to share Abbey life with others. It also restores a 1,500-year-old monastic tradition of beer brewing rarely seen in the States.

Wildly unique boutique!

Open Seven Days a Week

301 E. Main Street Silverton 503-874-4401

“This was an area we’ve been wanting to get into for a long time; European monks have been brewing beer for well over 1,000 years,” Father Martin Grassel, Abbey Procurator and brew master said.

“The oldest continuously operating brewery in the world is a Benedictine brewery in Europe coming up on 1,000 years. I believe the oldest existing plan for a brewery is from a monastery back in the first millennium.”

In the Middle Ages, Benedictine monasteries supplied beer to the locals

because you couldn’t drink the water and breweries became part of the character of European monasteries.

“The Pacific Northwest is just a great brewing region and Mount Angel has a Bavarian heritage; and the town has German origins,” Grassel said. “It’s all very Germanic and we just feel like it’s part of our own heritage to be in the beer business.”

Another thing handed down from ancient monasteries is the spirit of self-sufficiency.

“Monasteries should be as self-supporting as possible,” Grassel said. “It’s like a little town.”

“If we didn’t think it was going to make some money we wouldn’t be doing it because I don’t want another operation you have to raise money for,” Grassel said. “Libraries and schools don’t make money and we expect the brewery to help support us or at least break even.”

The entire project is already a lesson in self-sufficiency. Not only is the beer made

in action, calling contacts made in his 42-year career with Withers Lumber.

“The trees were 200 feet tall and there were no limbs for the first 160 feet, so we got a lot of clear wood,” he said. HullOakes Lumber Co. in Monroe, Ore., cut the entire order in exchange for one of the eight truckloads harvested and a few bottles of Black Habit beer. Gooley took a few bottles to Freres Lumber and they transported a semi-load of wood.

He got good mileage out of the case of beer issued him by the monks. Universal Forest Products, New Energy Works Timber Frame Homes and others got involved. The timber was harvested, cut, dried, milled tongue-in-groove and otherwise prepared for a seamless, no-hammer, no-saw construction, saving the Abbey as much as $100,000.

relationship with the town nestled below.

“The town gets some of its identity from us,” Grassel said. “In the 1880s it was called Fillmore and they changed it to Mount Angel because of the Abbey.

“We’ll bring people to our town and the town will benefit and the brewery won’t succeed without the town,” Grassel said.

“We aren’t part of a vacuum; we are something bigger than ourselves.”

Grassel began hobby brewing at the monastery five years ago. For the past couple years, he has produced for sale a dark beer, Black Habit, and Saint Benedict, a pale ale, using the facilities at Seven Brides Brewing in Silverton.

“It was really awesome,” Gooley said.

“We ended up with about 26,000 board feet of lumber; there were even logs left over so we cut all of their siding, too.”

The Abbey’s own custom-made, fivebarrel brewing system has waited in the wings the past two years but is expected to make its debut this spring. They still need to install the siding and roof; finish the tap room and restrooms, install the brewery equipment, fixtures and furniture.

The Abbey has long enjoyed a warm

The taproom opens another avenue where the monks can exercise their credo of hospitality. Along those lines the Abbey is also expanding its retreat house – a bigger project than the brewery.

Be prepared

Kennedy teens CERT trained and ready to help

By Nancy Jennings Mount Angel can boast a unique accomplishment – one that would make any community, or parent, proud. The small city in Marion County is the only one, to date, to have three teens join its Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT).

The trio -- Melanie Lopez (15), Whitney Lopez (15) and Draiven Follis (16) – were recognized and received their completion certificates on Aug. 7 at Mount Angel’s City Council meeting. The teens were formally introduced to the council by their CERT Instructor/Coordinator Crystal Williams, whose daughter, Anna, 18, has been a CERT instructor for two years.

Williams was impressed with the can-do attitude of her students.

“Seeing people realize how easy it is to help – how can that not make you feel good? To have some kids there at the school that know what I know? It makes me feel so much better,” she said. The John F. Kennedy High School students

fire safety utility, organizational hierarchy and medic (splinting, bandaging, pressure points, shock, checking airway and bleeding). Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was not included as part of their specific training due to their focus on the management of mass quantities of people – not on an individual basis.

Each applicant participated in a general interview given by a CERT leader.

Criminal background and fingerprint clearances were required before ID badges were issued.

“Because of liability issues, the county prefers they be at least 14 years old,” Williams said.

Now certified, the teens are ready to assist with emergency situations, including Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-based events, such as earthquakes.

“For example, if I’m in Hawaii on vacation and a volcano decides to blow, I can assist,” Williams explained.

Silverton twin sisters, Melanie and Whitney Lopez, enjoyed the learning experience together. Mount Angel Police Officer Charlie Hall is the JFK resource officer. He first mentioned the CERT training opportunity to Melanie during a school basketball game. Whitney heard about it from her sister – and curiosity quickly led to action.

“Melanie said something about wanting to try it out. So, I thought that could be

Melanie recited CERT’s main goal: “We’re supposed to save the most amount of lives in the least amount of time.”

Draiven, a Mount Angel resident, first heard about the training in an unlikely setting.

“It’s a funny story. I got lunch detention and Mr. Hall was actually doing a presentation about it,” he said with a grin.

Looking back, he said it made him glad to join a team with a clear purpose.

“It helps prepare you and others if there’s a natural – or otherwise – disaster to protect or save lives.”

Officer Hall is pleased seeing students become proactive regarding the safety of others.

“Crystal and I had been in a discussion about looking for a way to involve the youth more in the preparedness of the community, and giving them different pathways to possible career choices.”

Something to Think About

Child safety

By Melissa Wagoner Stranger danger, the idea that unknown people can pose a threat, is an important topic for parents but it can also be a difficult one to broach. Many parents worry about instilling a fear of the unfamiliar or causing undo worry. But Anisa Taft, an employee at Silverton Self Defense, sees it differently.

“It is crucial for children to understand their power,” she said. “We teach multiple aspects of safety to children.”

The approach is a positive one. Instead of filling children with possible dangers, they identify the three main signifiers of a trustworthy adult. They explain that safe adults do not ask children for assistance, they respect both yes and no answers and they always approve of a child asking a parent for permission or guidance.

If the criteria are not met, children are taught to create personal space.

“We understand that words are not always enough to send a clear signal, so the very first level of our karate classes teaches two styles of kicks aimed at keeping distance,” Taft said. “We also teach clear definition between using force and creating space with peers when no danger is present.”

Taft said that with peers students are told to “try once to use calm words, try a second time with a big voice, then extend your arms to create space with strong words again.” She said that at that point an adult will typically have stepped in to help.

Training helps Identifying safe adults Safe adults do not approach children looking for help.

Safe adults respect the first answer a child gives, whether it’s no or yes.

Safe adults always approve of or encourage a child to ask their parent’s permission or guidance. different. Taft said there are no restrictions because “a safe adult would notice the child’s distress immediately and give space.”

Instead students are told to run if they can and make a big scene if they can’t run.

Silverton Self Defense also teaches similar tactics to adults, who are often a child’s first line of self-defense.

“We have free women’s self-defense classes where we teach ‘high-percentage moves’ which are the most likely to be effective with the least amount of training,” she said.

“This includes multiple techniques to release holds on the wrist, hair and torso, defensive and offensive strikes/kicks as well as techniques to gain control of a situation if someone has pinned you to the ground.”

Taft believes all of the safety lessons are an important way to spread the word.

“The more times and the more people a child is encouraged by to speak up and stand up for their safety, the easier it will be for them to identify an adult who is not fostering safety,” she said.

Rock’n Latte

Adding a shot of fun for customers

By Nancy Jennings

service industry. Last year, she was toying with the idea of running her own 1010 N. Main St., business. One day she drove Mount Angel.

Hours: Monday to The Divine Bean and through Saturday ordered a drink. The owner 5 a.m. - 5 p.m. told her they were selling Closed Sunday the business. Hearing the news struck a chord, and Baurer jumped at the opportunity.

Rock’n Latte

Would you like biscuits and gravy to go with your morning latte? Just look for the giant red-and-white guitar perched up inside of a coffee cup on top of the small bright-red building in Mount Angel – and place your order.

Opened in April, Rock’n Latte coffee drive-through has brought new energy and passion to the Berchtold Industrial Park. Owner and Mount Angel resident, Cheryl Baurer, 42, wants to inspire and be a good example to her five children.

“I started my own business because I want to show my kids that they can overcome obstacles that life throws at them,” she said, adding that the schedule is demanding.

Baurer couldn’t be more proud of her children: Mariah, 19, is in the U.S. Army, Callie, 16, attends Silverton High and “is passionate about reading,” Abigail, 12, “is passionate about animals,” Jasiah, 8, “wants to be a Ninja,” and Lydia, 7, is “full of spunk and sweetness.”

In September, two new employees – Abby Hartt and Ash Davidson – joined the team. Both enjoy the camaraderie they share with their customers. Abby, 19, lives in Molalla.

Ash Davidson, Cheryl Baurer and Abby Hartt of Rock’n Latte.

Choosing a rock-and-roll theme, she enjoys sharing her love of music with her customers. When asked her favorite, Baurer couldn’t pick just one.

Formerly The Divine Bean, caffeine seekers can now pull up and hear rousing music playing through outside speakers as they place orders such as “The Buzzed Zebra” or a “Candied Apple Smoothie.” The types of drinks offered are plentiful and include: white coffee, cold brews, iced coffees, lattes, mochas and smoothies. Boba/bubble teas are also available. Made-to-order breakfast sandwiches are available daily. To save time, call-in orders are popular.

“I have a huge variety. I like Tom Petty, AC/DC, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith.”

“I pay particular attention to quality and speed to satisfy our customers,” she said. Baurer has experience in the food

“I think it’s fun because you get to meet and interact with a lot of different people,” she said. “Last week, there was a guy that came in and I found out he was in my dad’s wedding. He was telling me stories about them in high school. It was crazy.”

Ash, 26, lives in Silverton with her husband. “I like building relationships with the locals. I’m loving this area.

Everybody is so nice and laidback,” she said.

“We have a really good following of regulars that come in to chat and hang out to have a little break from their day. I love learning everybody’s story.”

Family Matters

Nurturing the gift

By Melissa Wagoner What traits do most parents hope to teach their children? Kindness, humility, creativity, generosity, intelligence; the list can be long and the job a daunting one. But what if the job was not so much about teaching something new as about growing what is already there?

Ted Hays, a resident of Joseph in the northeastern corner of Oregon, began to ponder that question after an invitation to the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Pendleton, Ore. changed his life.

In his early 30s with three young children at home Hays had a chance meeting with tribal elder Art Motanic who told Hays the secret to raising children in the Native American community. The secret, he said, centered on finding and nurturing the gift that was already inside each child at birth.

Child-rearing lessons from a tribal elder

how to use his or her abilities for the good of the whole tribe, and how to walk the “good red road.” This road, Motanic said, was a spiritual path.

“It’s what all of us are striving for. You can call it maturity or spirituality,” Hays explained.

Hays said Motanic told him the key was that these gifts, although held by the individual, were to be used for the good of the whole community.

“The well-being of the tribe depended on the wellbeing of the individuals,” he said. “It was synonymous.

You sacrificed for the well-being of the tribe.”

Motanic also described his tribe as a place where children were given adult jobs and responsibilities at a young age. Older children were expected to educate their younger counterparts and were held responsible for the actions of the group.

“In the old times we lived as a people,” Motanic told Hays. “Our children were our most precious thing because when they came into the tribe they brought special gifts and we honored that and they felt that.”

“They grew up feeling a sense of purpose at a very young age and a sense of a bigger contribution to the whole tribe,” Motanic said. “We’re happier people when we know what our job is.”

Motanic told Hays that as each child’s talents emerged he or she was assigned to an elder who had similar skills. That elder’s sole purpose was to guide the child in

Looking around the reservation Motanic told Hays the old ways were no longer in practice, much to the detriment of his community.

BUTTE CREEK COMPUTER SERVICE

“Our kids have no purpose,” he said. They don’t know how to contribute.”

Although a lot about society has changed since Hays’ meeting with Motanic over 45 years ago, the advent of cellphones, social media and the Internet, some things remain the same. Every day children are still being born with their own set of talents and gifts hidden inside and it falls on parents, teachers and other elders of the community to find a way to find ways to bring them out. Hays thinks one way to do this might be to become a more united front, a stronger and more connected community.

“We have to become a we rather than a they,” he explained. “We have to become a people because we’re so splintered now.”

Hays sees hope, however, and thinks it is important to pay attention to the elders and the story tellers like Motanic.

“A lot of times we don’t get close to the stories of what actually happened,” he said.

“I felt so deeply honored and grateful to have him tell me those things. It changed my life from the standpoint that I too wanted to have those things for my children.”

Holly days

Busy, busy time for couple juggling three businesses

By Nancy Jennings

harvesting money off of the trees,’” Don explained.

If you are picking up your mail or shipping a package at Silverton’s Postal Connections, there’s a good chance you will be greeted by Don Harteloo. Ask how he is doing on any given day and he will cheerfully reply, “Unbelievable, here.”

At that time, his father was the manager of the local telephone company and was gifted with a holly tree by an employee.

He planted it on the other side of their driveway and it quickly flourished. Seeing was believing. “My father thought ‘Maybe we can plant more and leave it to our children – and they can benefit from picking money off the trees,’” he said.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Don, along with his wife, Sue, own and manage two Postal Connections stores.

He runs the Silverton location, opened in 2013, and she oversees Stayton’s, opened in 2003. Since 1988, they have been operating Mill Creek Holly Farms, too.

The holly leaves, called “leaflets,” come in either Green English or Silver Variegated varieties. The holly berries first appear in June with a pinkish color and ripens to a richer red color in late October.

Located in Stayton, the Harteloo’s farm contains 1,500 holly trees, each 20 to 30 feet tall. The traditional holiday evergreen, with its vibrant red berries, has no scent.

“The cold nights set the color,” Sue said.

Married for 36 years, Don, 65, and Sue, 62, have two daughters, Melissa, 34, Michelle, 31, and one granddaughter, two-year-old Sophia Marie.

Harvest time usually begins around mid-November and runs right up to Christmas. Foreman Manuel Manzo has been a mainstay at the family farm for 50 years. A challenging concern for Manzo each year is hoping the local huge flock of robins don’t eat too many of the

Alliance supported tempting red berries, the crown jewel of the business.

Depending on the needs at the time, 16 to 25 workers help pick the holly and prepare it to sell. No machines are used, all is done by hand.

“All of the holly is dipped in a big vat that has a hormone treatment in it. It costs $1,000 a gallon and it prolongs the life,” Don explained.

“Holly is more akin to a rose than to a typical evergreen, so it does have a shorter life span. We also use a floral solution that helps the leaves retain moisture,” Sue added.

They have shipped online orders as far away as Canada, Alaska and Hawaii.

“A couple of guys back in Massachusetts buy from us every year. They call and we chat for about an hour. We actually got the chance to meet them two years ago.

We were in Boston and they were in town,” Sue said.

When the couple is able to spend time

with their family, they all head to Corvallis to root on the Oregon State Beavers.

“We’ve had basketball season tickets for 40 years, and our football ones for 25,” Don said. “Our girls grew up from the time they were infants watching the basketball games,” Sue said with a grin.

They are also season ticketholders at the Pentacle Theatre in Salem. Sue was the director of the theater program for six years at Stayton’s Regis High School.

The couple appreciates the flexible and devoted staff they have at their Postal Connections stores.

“They are like family to us, and they know if we have to step out for a crisis with the farm, they’re right there to make sure things keep rolling smoothly,” Sue said.

“They are unbelievable,” Don added.

Mill Creek Holly Farms can be reached at www.millcreekholly.com.

A student’s petition to disband the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) Club on the Silverton High School campus was short lived.

In mid-November, when school administrators heard the petition was being circulated by a student with no association with the club, they stepped in to reiterate the school’s “commitment to being a safe and welcoming environment for all students.”

According to Principal Wade Lockett, a school counselor spoke with the petition’s originator emphasizing that “no amount of signatures collected would entice the administration into a conversation about this.”

Lockett addressed the student body via intercom stating “petitions of this sort will not be tolerated.” He then issued a written statement in response to a social media thread revealing a community distressed by the very idea of such a petition.

“We took this matter very seriously but also know that it is a learning situation and we are accessing the supports we have in place here at the high school as they are needed,” he wrote.

The GSA Club has existed for years on the SHS campus as a non-political support group for students.

The petition and associated social media discussions galvinized GSA supporters.

Parents and other adults supporting the GSA plan activities for the Dec. 1 First Friday, including a bake sale, holiday photo booth, raffle and providing supportive buttons and pins. Silverton Jewelry is producing a rainbow bracelet, with part of the proceeds to go to the club.

“We would also ask that people not make disparaging remarks about any SHS student,” Lockett wrote. “Our kids are afforded the right to learn difficult lessons free of a social media jury.”

Something Fun

Carrying on tradition

By Melissa Wagoner “Verzetsbir is ode aan grootvader,” read a recent headline in the Belgian newspaper “Het Belang Van Limburg.” Translated it reads, “Resistance beer is ode to grandfather.”

The beer in question was created by Silverton’s own Belgian Underground brewmasters, Sheldon Lesire and Dale Coleman who, on a recent trip brought along 24 bottles of their finest brews to share.

“The reporter said, ‘This tastes exactly like a Belgian beer,’” Lesire recalled.

Throughout the trip, which included tours of several breweries and a lot of tasting, Lesire and Coleman were pleasantly surprised to note that the Belgian brews they have been concocting in America hold up to the real thing.

Belgian Underground explores its roots

schedules used to track German movement and was even brought in for questioning on several occasions. These stories inspired Lesire so much that he decided to make his budding brewery venture into an ode to his opa.

“We like to say we’re a storytelling company that happens to brew beer,” Lesire explained. “Each of our beers is named after a group or an event in the resistance.”

Belgian Underground, although new to the microbrewery scene, is already brewing five beers and is showcased in 40 different places.

“We’d like to stay small for a couple more years,” Coleman said. “The goal was to do this whole thing debt free and we still are.”

Keeping things small has also helped Belgian Underground stay true to the taste and quality of the Belgian beers they are trying to emulate.

“There was a Belgian IPA that we had there that tasted a lot like our own,” Lesire said.

“They tend to be stronger, they tend to be sweeter and just a unique flavor profile from the yeast,” Lesire said.

When Lesire began to get interested in brewing six years ago he also became interested in the Belgian Resistance and the part his opa, or grandfather, played in that history.

“Everybody wants to see truly Belgian styles but a lot of that takes time,” Coleman continued.

An employee of the railroad, Lesire’s opa passed on train

Lesire said that each new beer that Belgian Underground releases is the result of at least a dozen test batches in order to get the taste just right.

In Memory Of …

Robert Humphreys

Although the purpose of the recent trip to Belgium wasn’t entirely brewery related (Lesire has over 30 first cousins residing there) some of his family are also investors in Belgian Underground and it was a chance for him to bring them up to speed.

“My cousin Andres said ‘Wow, this is an amazing beer.’

Lesire said. “He was happy.”

The same cousin was also able to get them an interview with the local paper and the duo were recognized several times around the village afterward. They also drew attention by wearing shirts with the Belgian Underground logo, which was inspired by that of the Belgian Resistance.

“We got a lot of looks,” Coleman said. “The question was, ‘Belgian beer in America? Why?’” Lesire explained that because the country is so small, roughly the size of the Willamette Valley, residents were

Plummer, 29, grew up outdoors, a young rodeo rider with a great love for horses and dogs.

“I was born in the middle of nowhere West Texas, but would spend each summer up in the backwoods of Silverton,” she said. “That really exposed me to what other magical places lay outside my Texas borders. It was those summers that sparked my curiosity and desire to travel and explore more of the world.”

Though her party consists of herself, her dog and two horses, Stevie Anna Plummer is taking the whole world along on her 1,000-mile trek through Patagonian back country. Plummer will remain live on social media throughout her journey through this vast, mostly uninhabited region.

503-873-3382

After graduating high school, she moved to Oregon which became her “gateway state.” From there she and faithful canine companion Darcie wound up traveling all 49 continental U.S. states while living out of her van.

“Silverton holds a special place in my heart and returning is always one of my year’s biggest highlights,” she said.

Her adventures continued to take Plummer farther afield until she reached the heart of Patagonia, a sparsely populated region at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. There she found a way to marry her loves – back country and horses – guiding back country pack trips through its vast wilderness.

Upon her arrival in Patagonia Plummer had the good fortune to meet Patagonian gaucha (cowgirl) legend Carol Jones, who took Plummer under her wing and showed her the way of the gaucho.

Jones is considered “the granddaughter of Patagonia.” Her grandfather, Jarred Jones, was the first to settle in the area.

I really want to embrace that throughout my trip and stop, visit with people, learn about the culture and experience things you would miss on a road trip.”

Though she could do it in two, Plummer is allowing four months for the adventure.

“This trip for me is really embracing slow travel, something I think we’ve lost an appreciation for in the rush of everyday life,” she said. “I also want to keep my animals happy.”

“He rode his horse down through Texas and was followed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” Plummer said. “They were friends of the family and traveled south through Patagonia. I’ll be following a bit of their trail and go through their old hideout cabin in Cholila.

Thanks to sponsor Hilleberg the Tentmaker, home will be a new Nallo 3 GT tent, which will provide critical shelter from the demanding Patagonian weather with its ruthless winds. Its design provides plenty of space for her, all the gear and of course Darcie, who lounges in its vestibule as if it were a front porch back on the farm.

“I’m taking solar panels, my computer and my phone because a big part of this trip is being able to share it with people and I think doing that is so much more fun in the moment,” she said. “Even if I’m just waking up, unzipping my tent and making coffee, I really want to let people experience those moments with me.” All her journaling will be done in both English and Spanish.

“This being my new home, I feel like I’m leaving them out if don’t share with them everything I share with folks back home in the United States,” she said.

She’s calling her expedition “Patagone.”

Patagonia is so-named for the early settlers who were known to have big feet.

“Pata can mean foot, paw or hoof and since I’m going by all three I thought Pata-gone would be a good fit which is exactly what we’re doing,” she said.

Football flashback

Foxes, Trojans make playoff runs

Silverton High turned in a 7-4 football season under first-year coach Josh Craig and came within 57 seconds of advancing to the Class 5A semifinals.

“We’re very proud of these guys,” Craig told Our Town.

“We couldn’t ask for a better group of guys.”

Silverton turned in a stirring 24-0 second-half domination of Thurston in a 31-14 round of 16 win before falling 46-42 at Mountain View of Bend in the quarterfinals.

“Just a couple of plays kept us from going to the semifinals,” said Craig, who turns 27 this month.

“We were very close.”

Craig still is at the sponge state Coach Josh Craig in his coaching development, and he produced a long list of things he wants to learn and improve upon. And he sounded like he would be fine if fall drills started in 10 days.

“Last week was my first one without football,” he said in an interview in the classroom where he teaches five periods of English. “It takes some getting used to.”

Craig mentioned a greater understanding of quarterback play and special teams as well as refining his play-calling.

“I’ve committed myself to learning more in the offseason to give my guys a better chance to win,” he said.

The Foxes will lose some top contributors such as wide receiver/ defensive backs Spencer Clements and Colton Meyer, two-way lineman Zach Milstead, center Tom Craig and threeway contributor Kobe Garcia.

But juniors Ben Willis, Hunter Meissner, Logan Fergus, Rory Groom and Levi Nielsen combined to earn eight of the Foxes’ all-Mid-Willamette Conference spots. Plus Silverton’s freshman squad finished its second consecutive 9-0 season.

“There is some good energy coming in.”

Craig said.

Kennedy, meanwhile, finished 4-7 while playing a brutally tough schedule. The Trojans started 0-4 but finished third in the Tri-River Conference and advanced to the Class 2A quarterfinals before falling to eventual finalist Monroe.

A Grin at the End

Dear Parrot Heads

Concert etiquette and homework for old duffers

Two events occurred nearly simultaneously this fall. They both got me to thinking.

and buy one of those $10 margaritas served in the lobby.

The other thing that happened this fall was also a rite of old age. I received an official “Medicare Guidebook” in the mail. At first I thought someone had messed up.

I’m way too young for that sort of thing. But the booklet said I need to start doing my homework so I can sign up before I turn 65.

The first was when I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert. I know, what a cliche. An old duffer (me) going to listen to an older duffer (Jimmy).

I was a bit wary of going at first, because most concerts don’t live up to the anticipation. I went to one a few years ago that was terrible. The singer, who shall remain nameless, acted as though she was bored with the whole thing and only talked about her kids, which made me bored, too.

I seriously considered asking for my money back, except my wife and I left the concert and ran across an Italian festival a few blocks away at Pioneer Square in Portland.

The food was great and the music was ten times better than the concert we had left – and it was free. I forgot all about the crappy concert.

When I got to the Jimmy Buffet venue in Eugene two hours before kickoff, the area had been taken over

by Parrot Heads. For those who don’t recognize the terminology, a P.H. (Parrot Head) is another word for O.D. (Old Duffer), except he, or she, is drunk and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

to forget and no taste in fashion, so taking up the P.H. banner is A-OK. I found most P.H.’s to be pretty harmless, but the folks who were next to me in the arena were, like a lot of O.D.’s, entitled. They stood up the whole show, so no one behind them could see the stage. All they saw was wave after wave of excess flesh undulating under a blueand-yellow print shirt. I was hit three times by various unidentified body parts. Ugh. I had assumed that sort of thoughtlessness was confined to Costco parking lots, where an O.D. will block a lane for ten minutes waiting for another O.D. to load his car and vacate the slot.

Which is fine. If they’re like me, most O.D.’s have a lot

I guess Jimmy B couldn’t care less who was in the audience, as long as they had forked over the cash to get in

I waded through the booklet, which read like an IQ test.

By the time I was done I felt as though Uncle Sam could take Parts A, B, C and D and shove them up his youknow-what.

Over the years, I have developed what I call a “B.S. Meter” to help me know when someone is trying to jerk me around. In this case, it was the federal government, which, it turns out, jerks around more people that anyone or anything else on the planet.

Medicare is one more example of how the feds can mess up the best of ideas – helping old duffers afford medical care.

I read through the booklet a couple of times, and one of my kids asked me what I was doing.

“I’m looking for a discount,” I told him.

“What sort of discount?” he asked.

“For Parrot Heads.”

Quality Dental Care in a Friendly Environment

Carl Sampson is an old duffer. He lives in Stayton.
