The Class of 2016 graduates

By Mary Owen

Congratulations graduates of the Class of 2016!

Santiam High School Santiam High School in Mill City graduates 29 seniors at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 17 in the Santiam Jr./Sr. High School gymnasium. “This senior class has done a great job,” Principal Dave Plotts said. “They were one of the classes that had to suffer through some very tough times as the district underwent several changes over several years. These seniors, though, have been very resilient and found ways to succeed despite the challenges they faced.” Additionally, Plotts said some of the seniors have earned more college credits than any previous students. “The future for these graduates is very bright as they head off to college, trade

goals,” Miller said. “We are proud to have the opportunity to support them in their education and beyond!” Andrew Grenbemer is the Class of 2016’s valedictorian and Lindsey Reeser is salutatorian.

Stayton High School Stayton High School has 165 graduating seniors who will receive their diplomas at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 10 at the Stayton High School Football Field. “This is a special senior class to me, not just because my son is one of them, and not just because they are the last group that knew me as a teacher and coach,” Principal Alan Kirby said. “This is a class with a lot of leaders, a class full of students with big dreams and big plans, and a class that will certainly be missed by the staff here.” Having seen a lot of changes at SHS in their high school career, Kirby said the students are a big part of the reason that the school is where it is today. “They have planned events and assemblies, set a good example for other students, challenged themselves with college-level coursework, given their all

Regis High School Regis High School will graduate 33 seniors at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 5 in the RHS gymnasium. “The Class of 2016 has exhibited strong leadership and high academic achievement,” Principal Scott Coulter said. “Thirty-nine percent were recognized as Chemeketa Honors Scholar Awards recipients. This award allows them to attend Chemeketa Community College for

two years, tuition free. Couple that with outstanding success in athletics and the arts, this senior class has set the bar very high.”

“The class of 2016 has demonstrated exceptional leadership in all areas –

academics, athletics and activities, and school culture and climate,” Principal Matt Thatcher said.

“They will surely be missed, but have

With city council approval, Santiam Hearts to Arts plans to sublease the former Green Mountain Real Estate building on Highway 22 in Mill City. “SH2A is working with the city to finalize a sublease,” Tom Peters, the organization’s president, said. “As soon as the lease is signed, SH2A will take possession, hopefully by June 1.” SH2A is a local nonprofit whose goal is “to preserve, present and promote the fine and performing arts in the Santiam Canyon.” Peters said the organization is working with the city to procure grant funding and hold community fundraisers to eventually purchase the building. “The Santiam Canyon would greatly benefit having a Canyon Arts Center that will be a hub for many arts- and musicrelated programs and activities,” he said. “The organization desires a home to consolidate our programs and activities.” Since support from the timber industry

SH2A owns “Meet the Master,” a program created by professional art teachers that provides in-depth learning of the masters of art, a class the organization wants to offer to the community.

That’s when Hearts for Arts stepped in, said Ken Cartwright, board member and manager of KYAC Community Radio, an outreach of SH2A that will also move to the new building. “We have wanted to grow our organization by offering art and music classes to the canyon community, but we couldn’t identify one location that would allow us to do most of what we wanted to accomplish,” he said. “This building will allow us to do just that. We’re very excited about the future! “When Mike and Renate Medley

started Hearts to Arts in 2008, they had envisioned that the organization would grow and would need project champions to keep the arts alive,” he added. “This is our opportunity.” Although some funding has been budgeted for the move, Peters said SH2A is seeking donations to help with minor renovations, furnishings and other needs.

“Our future plans are to create a positive and fantastic space for the canyon community to enjoy and learn art and music,” he said. “Santiam Hearts to Arts is incredibly blessed to have the confidence of the Mill City Council and the community to provide art programs to the canyon. We have a lot of work to do and can use some help. SH2A urges community members throughout the canyon to join us to keep art and culture alive in our beautiful communities.” For information, contact Peters at tomwaypeters@gmail.com.

Something for the Soul

Construction begins By Mary Owen

New Parish Center to be completed by December

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build labor in vain.”

Construction on Immaculate Conception Catholic Church’s new parish center is moving forward.

– Book of Psalms

“It’s the third leg of the stool with St. Mary and Regis High,” Mike Jaeger said. He handles marketing for the committee responsible for the new center. Jaeger was referring to prior upgrades to the two Catholic schools, including Regis’ activities center.

By the year 2000, as the sisters aged and were replaced by lay teachers, the convent’s living quarters were vacated and the building became home to the parish offices. At the groundbreaking, several of the sisters reminisced with local families, some taking home a special memento from their convent.

He said the church has always wanted to have a building to use for parish activities and the new center will provide for both the church and the community.

“Some got to meet with former students, some of whom are in their 50s now,” Jaeger said. Committee members Juli Bochsler and Kim Koehnke spearheaded the fundraising for the project, raising $3.5 million.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the 11,500-square-foot building was held on March 29. The new parish center replaces the former convent, built in 1937, that housed the Sisters of St. Mary’s of Beaverton who came to Stayton to teach school.

“We did a lot of presentations to the parish,” Jaeger said. “An architectural virtual building got parishioners excited

about the project.” When completed, the parish center will meet the needs of the growing church, including the Hispanic Ministry. The new building will feature a reception hall with a table seating capacity of 250, which Jaeger said will allow for wedding and other receptions as well as community meetings. The room is also dividable into as many as five classrooms. In addition, the center will have a commercial-grade kitchen, six offices, a conference room, and a fireside room with a gas fireplace. “I think it’s such an opportunity for us to continue to expand our ministry,” Jaeger said. “The idea is to actually reach out to more people within the

Parish programs and ministries in the areas of hospitality, faith and community building, liturgy and sacraments, and social justice are already being considered as well as church socials and community use. “For the first time, wedding and funeral receptions will be available on-site,” Jaeger said. With completion projected for December, the Immaculate Conception Parish family anticipates “a very special season to celebrate.” “From the beginning of our discussion of this dream for our parish, we have prayed for the guidance of the Lord Jesus,” said Father Ed Coleman, reflecting on a passage from the Book of Psalms: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build labor in vain.” “We believe Jesus is blessing the journey,” Coleman said.

Quick read Planned reader board will share community-friendly messges By Mary Owen

events for their patrons.

Stayton Friends of Library

Do you have an event, a fundraiser or a message you want to share with everyone who drives by the Stayton Library?

To donate to the electronic reader board or for more information, contact Stayton Friends of the Library at www.staytonfol.org.

Then, you want to make a donation to the Stayton Friends of the Library to help share your message. The Stayton Friends of the Library seeks donations for a community-friendly project... a new electronic reader board.

Once the funds are raised, the library plans to retrofit the existing manual reader sign with a new doublesided amber letter electronic message board.

Stayton Public Library assistant-adult services employee Stephanie Rubel said the electronic reader board will benefit the entire Stayton community.

The current sign only allows for one message from an organization every two weeks, but the new sign will allow a message every five to 10 seconds.

“Local nonprofits and community organizations will be able to post about their fundraising and events as they can now, but there will be greater access to it as more messages can be displayed,” Rubel said.

SFOL members acknowledge that the YMCA can promote healthful activities for youth and Family Building Blocks programs that aid youth and families, and the library can better promote programs and

“All-ages community events such as Santiam SummerFest, free Movies in the Park, various fundraisers for local schools, and the downtown Halloween Walk can all be promoted easily via the new sign,” SFOL reported. Rubel said the new sign already has the support of the Stayton Friends of the Pool, Stayton Elementary and Intermediate Parent-Teacher Club, SFOL, the city of Stayton, and the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce. Just over $4,400 has been raised toward the project cost of $17,821. Approved unanimously by the Stayton Planning Commission in July of last year, the new sign will be built and installed by Integrity Signs of Hubbard, Oregon.

And if you are looking for a place to buy plants while helping a good cause, mark your calendar for Sunday, June 12.

$1 million milestone

Kathy Hendricks excels for Pampered Chef

By Mary Owen

trips we can earn every year. Because of Pampered Chef, we have traveled to places like the Caribbean, Ireland and Paris.”

When Kathy Hendricks started her Pampered Chef business, she never expected to hit the million-dollar sales mark over the course of her 20-year career.

Hendricks plans to continue to help others achieve the income they want to earn from a business.

For her efforts, the lifelong Stayton resident was recently recognized by the company with the “One Million Dollar Sales Award.”

“Plus, of course, I love helping my hosts and having fun with the guests at parties,” she said. “I’m so impressed that this company gives us the tools to succeed. We just need to put those tools into practice.”

“I reached the $1 million in September and got some beautiful flowers from the company,” Hendricks said. “It felt good to be the first person in our area to reach it.” In addition to receiving flowers last September, Hendricks will be presented with a Bulova watch for her achievement when she attends the company’s national conference mid-July in Illinois. Hendricks began selling Pampered Chef while holding another job and raising three children aged 3 and under, including 7-month-old twins.

Kathy and Roger Hendricks

“I decided to give it a try and see what happened,” she said. “I thought I would just do it until bookings ran out. I left my other job two years into my Pampered Chef business after I had replaced my income.”

Hendricks loves her job. “I love helping my hosts get free and discounted products into their kitchen to make meal time easier,” she said. “One of my favorite parts of my job is the free

The boys racked up 13 points and were 19th. “Our girls were just three points shy of a trophy,” Cascade Coach Dan Petersen told Our Town. “We brought a bus load of kids in every event area to state because of the work ethic of this team and the dedication of every Cascade track and field coach. The season was a lot of fun and very satisfying.” Wiebenga vaulted 10-6 to win her event because “she did everything right in practice every day,” said Petersen, who praised assistant coach Paul Wilson for her being “ready physically and mentally on every attempt.” Also contributing for the girls were Elisa Kanoff (third in 200, fourth in 100), Christy Seaton (third in 100 hurdles, fifth in high jump), Kalulu Ngaida (eighth in long jump, third in triple jump), Halle Wright (fourth in shot put), Maliah Russell (seventh, 800) and Molly Rose (eighth, triple jump). The boys 4x100 relay team of Garrett Yunker, Lucas Bjorklund, Austin Martin and Brandon Martin finished third in 43.55 with “near perfect handoffs,” Petersen said. Brandon

Track champs By James Day The Regis High School boys track and field team won a state Class 2A team title in the most dramatic way possible May 20 at Hayward Field in Eugene. The Rams, trailing East Linn Christian by 7.5 points heading to the final event, scored an impressive victory in the 4x400 relay to claim their third boys track and field title. Brendan Woodcock went first and he had Regis in second place after the first leg. Then, Sam Nieslanik, who participated in four events in the final 2.5 hours of the meet, ran a blistering second leg to give Regis a 10-yard lead. Ethan Lulay, running third, maintained the ledge and anchorman Eric Gustin extended it. Gustin broke the tape in 3:31.14, nearly three seconds better than runner-up Lost River. The relay win boosted Regis to 59.5 points, 2.5 ahead of East Linn Christian, which did not have a team in the relay.

Regis boys track and field team takes state 2A title

“Besides good performances by all, a lot of good things fell our way and our kids kept plugging away doing the best that they could,” Regis Coach Mike Bauer told Our Town. “In general, they stayed in the moment and focused on their events and let everything unfold without the pressure of expectations.” Bauer now has 12 state titles in cross country and track and field in his 42 years at Regis. Nieslanik, a lanky senior who debuted corn rows for the state meet, perhaps stayed in the moment more than anyone. He had to. He was terrifically overbooked. At 6:40 p.m. he ran to a fourth-place finish in the 110 high hurdles in 16.61. At 7 p.m. he began work in the triple jump. After three attempts Nieslanik led the competition at 42-4, but he was due at the starting line for the 300 intermediate hurdles at 7:58. Nieslanik produced a third-place finish in the 300 then headed to the awards stand to get his second medal.

“I was a real whirling dervish out there,” Nieslanik told Our Town. “I didn’t even have time to cool down. At times I thought (the schedule) was going to overwhelm me. But it was Hayward magic … or maybe the corn rows did it.”

Thus, Mitchell, Nieslanik and the other placers in the triple jump stood and stood and stood on the awards platform waiting for the announcement. Finally, it came, and Nieslanik scurried away to prepare for the relay, which ran at 9:21. At about 9:22 he put Regis in the lead and you already know the rest of the story.

He scurried back to the triple jump area in his bare feet, medal still dangling around his neck. Mike Mitchell of Reedsport grabbed the lead with a 42-9.25 effort and when Nieslanik fouled on his final try, he had a second-place medal to go collect. Unfortunately, there was a snafu between the triple jump crew and the pressbox and the results were late in getting there.

Connor West tied for sixth in the pole vault at 12-0. Mumey credited the weather conditions for giving him a boost as well as betweenleap coaching sessions from assistant Paul Bentz. After each attempt Mumey jogged to the edge of the track where he would receive instructions (both verbal and hand gestures) from Bentz in the front row of the south bleachers. Again, it was Mitchell of Reedsport who kept the team race close. The meet’s top 2A boys scorer, Mitchell pushed Mumey into second with a leap of 6-4. “Each of us did our job,” Nieslanik concluded. “We all competed the best we could.” Follow me on Twitter.com @jameshday.

Divine Vines

Clematis

Clematis – ‘The President’

Clematis

By Ellen Schlesinger Whether your garden is large or small, it can be enhanced by making use of vines. Where space is at a premium, vines and vine-like plants such as climbing roses are particularly desirable because they take up little room in the ground while producing dazzling vertical displays – where the competition from other plants isn’t as fierce. Another reason to plant vines is they are fast growers, teeming with luxurious foliage and masses of flowers the first season or two: almost instant beauty!

Unlike shrubs and perennials, vines characteristically grow up instead of spreading outward although some – passionflower and star jasmine, for instance – can be used effectively as groundcover. Trained vertically or sprawling on the ground, vines can cover a lot of territory, making them invaluable assets. Vines can be put to good use masking unsightly outbuildings or dilapidated fences; they beautifully complement shrubs, trees and perennials; they can add architectural structure to a garden; they make excellent windscreens and they can shine as focal points.

While some vines have tendrils that cling or twine, others will need to be tied and guided up a post, trellis, wall, fence or shrub. Extremely vigorous ones such as climbing hydrangea, clematis armandii, Boston ivy, rambling roses and wisteria have to be hand-pruned to look their best and to ensure they don’t run rampant, smothering everything in their wake.

Deciduous, large-flowered clematis hybrids and rose bushes are a classic pairing. Entire d to matching up these two complementary, free-flowering plants. Try planting purple clematis such as ‘The President’ in front of a red rose such as ‘Mr. Lincoln’ and let it thread its way through the thorny shrub’s branches. In spring, the clematis may bloom while the rose is still just coming into leaf. The showy clematis flowers look terrific backed by the fresh green or bronze foliage the rose provides. And, if they both happen to bloom at the same time, it’s a match made in heaven. Another great pairing is climbing hydrangea (H. anomala and H. anomala petiolaris) and Euonymus fortunei ‘Emerald n’ Gold.’ The hydrangea is a woody, super-vigorous

Open 7 Days a Week

vine that can mature to 50 or 60 feet and clings by aerial rootlets. I keep mine at about 7 feet – to keep it from buckling my roof tiles – by pruning it after it blooms in June. The flower clusters resemble heads of cauliflower – large, fluffy and pure white – and look great floating in a bowl of water. ‘Emerald n’ Gold’ euonymus is said to be a bushy shrub, but mine decided to grow long and sinewy, and has made friends with the hydrangea, entwining itself among the larger vine’s sculptural branches. When the hydrangea is in bloom, the euonymus is hardly visible. But in winter, when the hydrangea loses its leaves, exposing its distinctive branches, the euonymus’ bright green and yellow leaves make a striking contrast with the hydrangea’s reddishbrown, peeling bark. Fiveleaf akebia or chocolate vine (Akebia quinata) is a semi-evergreen, twining vine native of East Asia that has a reputation as a rampant (egads!) grower. Perhaps the vine becomes overly energized in the sun? The two I have growing in the shade are luxuriant – and couldn’t be better Continued on Page 3

behaved. Akebia’s dangling, diminutive, dark-violet flowers appear in early spring and are spicily scented. This is a lovely foliage plant that performs well even in deep shade.

If you want to attract hummingbirds, trumpet vines (Campsis) should be high on your list of must-haves. They are vigorous climbers that will even tolerate poor soil if it drains well. Plant them against a warm wall or fence they will reward you with a profusion of, not surprisingly, trumpetshaped flowers. Worth going for: C. x tagliabuana ‘Mme. Galen,’ sporting dark green leaves and orange-red flowers.

Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) isn’t a true jasmine but its scent is every bit as strong and, to my nose, less cloying. This woody, evergreen vine is a twining climber with glossy green leaves and clusters of small, extremely fragrant white flowers. Grow this floriferous vine on a pergola, post, fence or trellis. If pruned and kept shapely, it can be grown – with support – in a container. Be sure to plant it in full sun and where you can enjoy its heavenly perfume. Honeysuckles (Lonicera), like hydrangeas, make our hearts go pitter-patter because of their nostalgic value, but even if you don’t have fond memories of the sweet smell of honeysuckle from your childhood, you will want to grow one or more of these spectacular vines. Scarlet trumpet honeysuckle (L. x brownie ‘Dropmore Scarlet’) is an extremely hardy, longblooming, semi-evergreen, twining climber with long, trumpet-shaped bright scarlet

Jasmine

flowers. Ever-blooming honeysuckle (L. x heckrottii) is another semi-evergreen climber that bears very fragrant, two-toned flowers that are pink on the outside and yellow-orange within. The vine’s showiest

Clematis and Rose

flower display is in spring, but under the right conditions, it may bloom again in autumn. There are more than 180 species of honeysuckle; at least one or two deserve a spot in your garden.

Black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia alata), a native of tropical Africa, isn’t hardy here, but its cheerful demeanor makes it definitely worth growing as an annual dazzler. The species produces velvety yellow flowers with brown centers. ‘Bakeri’ hybrids are snowy white; ‘Suzie’ hybrids are orange with dark centers. Grow this twining climber with support in a container where you can take advantage of its colorful charm.

OSU Gardener’s June Checklist First week: Spray cherry trees for cherry fruit fly and brown rot if fruit is ripening. Spray for codling moth and scab in apple and pear trees. Continue use of pheromone traps for insect pest detection

Blossoms on squash and cucumbers begin to drop: nothing to worry about

Apples and crabapples that are susceptible to scab disease will begin dropping leaves as weather warms. Rake and destroy fallen leaves; spray with summer-strength lime sulfur, wettable sulfur, Immunox or Captan

Control aphids on vegetables as needed by hosing off with water or by using insecticidal soap or a registered insecticide

Plant dahlias and gladioli Learn to identify beneficial insects and plant some insectory plants (alyssum, phacelia, coriander, candytuft, sunflower, yarrow, dill) to attract them to your garden. Check with local nurseries for best selections. Lawn mowing: Set blade at .75 to 1 inch for bentgrass lawns; 1.5 to 2.5 inches for bluegrasses, fine fescues, ryegrasses Spray with Orthene to control adult root weevils in rhododendrons, azaleas, primroses and other ornamentals, or use beneficial nematodes if soil is above 55 degrees F Remove seed pods from rhododendrons, azaleas after blooms drop Prune lilacs, forsythia, rhododendrons and azaleas after blooming Fertilize vegetable garden one month after plants emerge by side-dressing alongside rows Harvest thinnings from new plantings of lettuce, onion and chard Construct trellises for tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans and ornamental vines Use organic mulches to conserve soil moisture; an inch or two of sawdust, bark dust or composted leaves minimizes evaporation Pick ripe strawberries regularly to avoid fruitrotting diseases

Control garden weeds by pulling, hoeing or mulching

Watch for cabbage worms, 12-spotted beetles on beans and lettuce, flea beetles in lettuce. Remove the pests or treat with labeled pesticides Spray peas as first pods form, if necessary, to control weevils After normal fruit drop in June, consider thinning the rest for larger overall fruit Late this month, begin to monitor for late blight on tomatoes Birch trees dripping means aphids are present; control as needed If indicated, spray cherries for fruit fly at weekly intervals Last week: second spray for codling moth and scab in apple and pear trees Move houseplants outside for cleaning, grooming, repotting and summer growth Make sure raised beds receive adequate water to prevent drought stress in plants Plant sweet corn, other tender vegetables Apply fertilizer to lawns Oregon State University Extension Service encourages sustainable gardening practices. Always identify and monitor problems before acting. First consider cultural controls; then physical, biological and chemical controls (including insecticidal soaps, horticultural oils, botanical insecticides, organic and synthetic pesticides). Always consider the least-toxic approach first. Recommendations in this calendar apply to Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Tomatoes for your health By Åke Truedsson Once upon a time the tomato was born in the Peruvian Andes in South America where wild relatives still thrive. A member of the Solanaceae family together with potatoes, bell peppers, all chili peppers and many other plants; tomatoes were used and possibly grown by the Incas and spread to a larger area from what is today Chile to Mexico.

In Mexico, tomatoes were grown and bred into larger forms by Aztecs, who called this vegetable tomatl or xitomatl. Europeans got tomato seeds from the Aztecs; seeds that came to Europe first with Christopher Columbus in 1504 and several years later with Hermán Cortes. While this fruit was well received by the Italians, who boiled it in olive oil with pepper and garlic, England did not feel the same and gave the tomato plant the Latin name Lycopersicum, meaning “wolf peach.” A UK cooking book from 1602 reads “Tomatoes can be eaten if well cooked; if eaten raw, death will come immediately.” In Italy this new fruit was called Pommi di Moro – “Apple from the Moor” (Moors: North Africans living in southeast Spain). The French got the Italian name slightly wrong, calling it Pomme d’amour – “love apple” – its northern European name for some time. This name caused the U.S. Catholic Church to classify tomato growing as sinful; at least one priest was dismissed from duties for growing tomatoes. Much later, the name tomato was adopted from the Aztec Indians. Despite its dramatic history, tomatoes eventually conquered the world and have become one of our important food crops with a yearly production of around 100 million tons. So what is a tomato? It contains at least 93 percent water and only 14 calories per 100 grams, so to live off tomatoes alone would require eating many pounds a day. However, the remaining 7 percent is packed with multiple carotenoids as well as chlorogenic acid, sophorin, p-courmaric acid and flavonoids together with minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorous, iron, copper, cobalt, chromium), vitamins (C, E, B1, B6, pro A, folic acid) and

is high in fiber, making the tomato one of the most healthy, disease-preventing plant fruits on earth. Unfortunately, many of the foods we eat and drugs we take are carcinogenic and may contribute to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia diseases, early aging and more. The nutrition provided in tomatoes includes some key antioxidants that prevent reactive products from attacking DNA where damage can convert a normal cell into a cancer cell. They also prevent the creation of fat enclosures – plaque – in blood vessels that contribute to heart attacks or stroke. They also reduce both oxidation and levels of “bad cholesterol.” Tomatoes also contain high levels of potassium, a mineral that reduces blood pressure and helps prevent heart attack. Research has shown a notable reduction in pre-eclampsia in pregnant women who regularly consume tomatoes. Doing so also improves eye function and reduces the risk of osteoporosis in elderly people; it is also said to increase fertility, at least for men. In addition, eating tomatoes is linked with a lesser chance of contracting Type 2 diabetes and prevents wrinkles! So what are we waiting for?

Your Garden

To get the maximum benefit from the tomatoes you eat, take a Carlo Villa © 123RF.com lesson from the cow. Unlike our bovine friends, humans possess only one stomach (despite that some of us may appear to be harboring more) and we do not have the opportunity to chew our food twice – but there is a remedy. Cooking them gently or frying them lightly and adding a little good oil from olives or rape seeds cause tomatoes to become suddenly three to five times healthier for us. This means that ketchup with 200 percent tomatoes is very good for you, even if its sugar content is high, and tomato puree with even higher tomato concentration is one of the best health drugs you can get! So it’s worthwhile to find ways of enjoying tomatoes, in some form, in our daily diet – perhaps even with every meal! What tomatoes to buy? Well the redder they are the better, and the more taste they have the better. Tomatoes grown with too much nitrogen fertilizer have higher-thannormal water content, less taste and less nutritional value. Why not grow a lot of tomatoes in your garden, on your balcony or in your greenhouse? You’ll be amazed at the many types available to those willing to start from seed. Then you can enjoy the best fresh tomatoes – and produce your own tomato ketchup, canned tomatoes or juice and tomato puree – with different flavors added like garlic, chili pepper, cumin, basil – This can become an enjoyable hobby that could change your life – not to mention prolong it! Åke Truedsson, a chemical engineer in Sweden, has grown many vegetables, fruits and berries, including about 500 types of tomatoes. He is a hobby plant breeder and a garden writer with several books – two about tomatoes – and hundreds of magazine articles to his credit. His interests also include what the food we eat does to us.

Vendors wanted By Mary Owen After hosting several farmer’s markets since March, a Stayton business owner plans to carry it on through October. “We had two markets in March, but with the rain, we didn’t have much turnout,” said Lora Sramek, owner of The Picken Coop where the markets were held. “The first two Saturdays of April and May, we had two more markets which were great! We had more turnout due to the great weather!” Sramek will hold two more markets on June 4 and June 11. She hopes to fill the parking lot with local vendors on the first two Saturdays of the month throughout the summer until the fall. There is currently no charge for spaces “to help the market get going,” she said.

Sramek said she has room for more vendors, and has already been contacted by Santiam Hospital to coordinate a few informational events with the market. “I’m hoping more farm-oriented people will join us with fruits, veggies, plants and cut flowers,” she said. “I’m always looking for vendors.” What motivated Sramek to start a farmer’s market was her love for the Salem outdoor market. “I thought since I work in Stayton to try to get one going here,” she said. “It brings the community together, and is a fun event for people to enjoy!” To become a vendor or for more information, contact Sramek at 503881-3133 or e-mail her at Lorasramek@ comcast.net. The Picken Coop is located at 789 N. Third Ave., Stayton.

Something Fun

More than dancing

Club for ‘kids over 50’ offers a variety of activities

By Mary Owen

Santiam Senior Center

Line up and start dancing! Each Monday for an hour and a half, ladies at the Santiam Senior Center in Stayton do just that.

Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

“We dance mostly to country western,” said Zelma Tupper of the line dancing class that starts at 4 p.m. and is taught by Doris Music, who Tupper said, “Makes it so much fun!”

and 15 members, and many in the group have joined in performances at such places as Marion Estates in Sublimity and Brookdale in Stayton.

The 83-year-old teacher has been line dancing for some 40 years, she said.

“Other places are planned for the future,” Tupper said.

“I thoroughly enjoy line dancing,” Music said. “All the dances are different, and I have no favorites. I enjoy every one.” Good exercise coupled with a friendly group is what keeps Music going. “They are all so appreciative,” she said of the ladies. The group used to have three men, but they have since dropped out.

Word of mouth drew Eilene Ward, Berdie Chantler and Kaye McNally to the class. All three were invited by friends. Margaret Wallbaum wanted to dance with her grandson, and many just thought it was an opportunity to have fun.

Adding staff Diana Fox said the class is “healthy and makes me happy.” Sharon Dodge, who signed up when the class became available, and Ruby Callkins love the “great exercise.” “It makes me feel good,” Callkins said. “It feels great,” Ward said about dancing. “Gives me lots of energy.” McNally added, “It brightens my day.” Tupper said class members plan to continue to dance and enjoy themselves performing for “others in and around our community.” The Santiam Senior Center was established in March 2006 as a nonprofit for seniors in the Santiam Valley. After meeting at various temporary facilities, the organization went from active to dormant off and on until 2009 when Stayton Cooperative Telephone Co. agreed to let the center rent a portion of the premises at 41818

Kingston-Jordan Road. On Jan. 10, 2014, SSC opened its doors once again. Dubbed “a club for kids over 50,” the center offers myriad activities, including a writing class, Bingo, a computer class, yoga, bridge and bridge lessons, cribbage and cribbage lessons, tai chi, pinochle and pinochle lessons and bunco. The Cascade Country Quilting Group and the Veterans Group meet at the center, legal counsel and hearing testing and hearing aid cleaning is available by appointment once a month. Upcoming is the center’s annual Rummage Sale. Hours are 10 a.m. to5 p.m. on July 23-25 at 1300 Highland Dr., Stayton. Items can be dropped off at the senior center. All donations are tax deductible.

By Mary Owen Sublimity is taking steps to add a city administrator to its employee roster. “The city of Sublimity City Council has determined that a city administrator would be a good fit for our community because it provides for continuity of leadership between election cycles,” Councilor Jim Kingsbury said. “It also provides more opportunity for the council to work on policy leadership for our city and less time dealing with day-to-day operations of the city.” Kingsbury said council members believe a city administrator will also provide strong leadership for the city to continue to provide “exceptional services to our citizens.” Sublimity City Council members used

City of Sublimity the League of Oregon Cities – City Handbook 2013 to help research what steps to take to hire a city administrator, Kingsbury added. “The handbook recommends that cities over a 2,500 population use the city administrator form of city management,” he said. The decision was made to contract with the Council of Governments to conduct a search and do the interview process for the city administrator, Kingsbury said. “The city of Sublimity is hoping to have the city administrator position filled by July 1,” Kingsbury said. “The city administrator position will take the place of the finance director.” For more information, call city hall at 503-769-5475.

Keys to destruction

A choice between fears and facts

If I wanted to destroy a nation, I wouldn’t use an army, airstrikes or missiles. I would use lines. I would draw lines between people and constantly remind them how different they are from one another. I would remind poor people how rich other people are. I would remind Americans of African, Hispanic, Asian and European descent how different they are from each other. I would remind religious groups how different they are, from one another and from non-believers. I would remind city folks how different they are from rural folks, and vice versa. I would reminder Southerners how different they are from Northerners, Easterners how different they are from Westerners. By the time I was done, the nation would be sliced and diced in a hundred different ways. No one would identify with anyone beyond their small circle of friends. No one would trust anyone, for fear that they were getting a better deal, in life or from the government.

politician after another tries to convince us that we’re getting a bum deal, and the only way to get a better deal is to vote for them and turn to the government to solve all of our problems.

The government would be seen as the source of almost everything — jobs, money, education. Everything would be courtesy of the largeness of the government and the people in charge. Yes, that’s how you do it. That’s how you destroy a nation. It’s not my idea. It’s been done before, and I believe it’s being done right here and right now. Politicians are playing one group off against another. The rich, the poor, the black, the white, the Hispanics all are being played for pawns in a high-stakes game of campaign chess. Pick a candidate, pick a major party, and you see these cynics invoke the most base of human emotions. Fear, greed, hatred, jealousy — they’re all present as one

I reject that premise, and I hope you do, too. I look around the grocery store, or the movie theater or any place people gather, and I see my brothers and sisters. All colors, all shapes, all sizes. Each is a man or woman of good will, beautiful in a unique way. Yes, there are a few misguided souls, struggling with inner hurt, or drugs or alcohol. Yes, there are people who insist on “me first” instead of making sure there’s plenty for everyone. We as a nation will thrive when we again embrace one another and work together. I’m not naive. I know we as a nation have problems. But we’ll solve them when we all can sit at the table and discuss those problems. We’ll solve them when we can talk about facts and not fears, about seeking a solution instead of winning a contest.

And I really mean work. President John Kennedy did not implore the nation to seek handouts of every kind — a recurring theme of this political season. He said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” You don’t hear that much these days, except from veterans, members of the military and others stuck on the oldfashioned notion that we are the ones who owe our heart and allegiance to a great nation, not the other way around. Years ago, I remember protesters at the Pentagon urging on their fellow travelers. If everyone went to that building they could lift it up, they were told. I’ve taken a few physics classes in my day, and I believe whoever came up with that idea probably missed a few classes. But I do know this. I know that if we as Americans — all ethnicities, all backgrounds and all ages — join hands and work together, we can lift this nation up. Together.
