Something To Think About

Summer success

Reading / recreation program wins grants, fans

By Mary Owen

Aumsville does beautifully, and we’re thrilled to be part of it,” she said. “They started with eight kids six years ago, and on their first day this summer, they had 207 kids and parents there.”

Aumsville’s summer reading and recreation programs received a much needed financial boost.

“We got two wonderful grants – one for $5,000 from The Ford Family Foundation and a $75,000 grant from the MidWillamette Valley United Way,” said Lora Hofmann, city administrative assistant.

Hofmann said the city’s summer program, run by donations, grants, volunteers and fundraising, would not have gotten the United Way funding without GROWEDC, a program that offers free, one-onone business coaching to any entrepreneur in the North Santiam Canyon.

Executive Director Allison McKenzie said GROW was happy to be the fiscal sponsor for United Way grant, which is to be distributed over two years.

“Every penny of this grant will go directly to Aumsville’s collaborative education program,” she said. “Fostering early engagement in reading and learning makes

Hofmann said a child who reads becomes and adult who reads.

“Common sense says that investing in children is one of the best hopes for an area’s future because you have better educated, well-rounded adults,” she said.

a critical difference in a child’s ability to succeed economically as an adult, which further enhances economic viability for our entire area.”

McKenzie credited Aumsville’s programs for making learning and reading fun for kids while offering parents tools to help with reading and homework.

“Creating this culture of enjoyable learning in a family context is something

& reTiremenT CoTTAgeS

Hofmann said the United Way grant will provide funding for the summer reading and recreation programs now and help fund an August Academy at Aumsville Elementary School.

“The academy is a three-week program that will provide specialized teaching to children who may have lost basic skills over the summer or were below grade level at the end of the school year,” she said.

“Aumsville Elementary Principal Cyndi Ganfield has some wonderful things planned!”

Aumsville partners with Stayton Library, Family Building Blocks, Cascade School District, Aumsville Fire Department, Oregon Pacific Area Health Education Center, and GROW-EDC to “help Aumsville kids become the best-read kids around,” Hofmann said.

The book grants for the summer program, This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land, provides Aumsville with boxes of books to distribute not only to reading program participants but to the Stayton and public libraries, Hofmann said.

“We are also donating board books and pre-K books to Family Building Blocks, who are taking them into homes where there are not many books. Research says that a child that owns or has in their home 10 books is a child that will do better in school and be less likely to fall behind. Our summer program is 10-weeks long, and each child gets a free book each week. That means that we are doing our best to make sure that every child owns 10 books they like to read.”

This year, the Santiam Stampede’s rodeo arena will be shorter, with a ring of seating and some seating right on the arena floor.

“I especially love boating and spending time out on the lake,” said Smith, who owns Prince, a Pony of America gelding.

“Fans seated in these bleachers will have a seat that is up close to all the dirtflying rodeo action,” said Corky Justis, spokeswoman for the 19th annual event held July 17-18 at the Sublimity Harvest Festival Grounds.

“We are excited for the change, knowing it is going to bring together the contestants, the animal athletes, the clown, the announcer and the fans,” she added. “We feel it’s going to add to the excitement of the show.”

On Friday night once inside the rodeo, kids can have fun for free in the Kid’s Corral, thanks to Sublimity Insurance.

“The little partners can take advantage of all there is, at no charge,” Justis said.

“Each year, we change things up in the corral, but the little ones can always count on pony rides and inflatables along

Mutton Busting and Junior Barrel races are crowd pleasers and can be viewed both Friday and Saturday nights, Justis said. Registration for these events opens at 8 a.m. July 6 at Clippers Unlimited in Stayton, and close when the events fill.

Lake fireworks Detroit Lake’s Fireworks Over the Lake falls on Saturday, July 11 this year.

“We will fire them off this year from a new and improved location,” said Bob Franz, a member of Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association, the major sponsor for the annual event.

“Everyone should be able to see them from just about any location around the lake.”

Franz calls the approximately 30-minute show “spectacular,” an annual favorite, causing the tiny resort town to swell from a few hundred to thousands.

The fireworks show is funded by local residents, businesses and clubs, including DLRABA, and annual events such as the Cruise In and Fishing Derby.

The barbecue is children and family-friendly. Questions can be directed to Sandi Elwood at 503-881-5226.

Area campgrounds can fill as early as January. The Oregon Department of Forestry camps, which are first-come, first-served, may offer last-minute opportunities for families interested in camping, organizers said.

Organizers encourage viewers to dress warmly and carry a high-power flashlight to get around.

Helping Hands

Sharing resources

By Mary Owen Recently updated and reformatted, the Santiam Canyon Resource Guide is available online to help local residents connect with community resources.

“Through this guide, residents have the opportunity to locate resources in their own community whom they can make a connection with and find support through,” said Julie Hilty with Family Building Blocks.

The guide provides resource information for assistance with rent and utilities, food, household items, transportation, employment and legal, housing and shelter, education, parenting support and medical.

Also listed are support services and groups and area hotlines.

Family Building Blocks is a member of the Canyon Collaborative, a local group that exists to “explore and enhance services to families and individuals in Santiam Canyon communities by coordinating and collaborating with all local nonprofits doing good work,” Hilty said.

Other members in the Canyon Collaborative include:

Groups compile support guide to aid local residents Hilty said the resource guide, created five years ago, was overhauled and updated at the request made by the Stayton Police Department for an up-to-date list of local services that officers could share with residents interested in finding support.

Santiam Canyon Resource Guide The guide will be available to be accessed from these websites: Family Building Blocks – www.familybuildingblocks.org/doris

“When residents are empowered to make choices that help them in identifying and creating goals toward self-sufficiency, they feel more confidence and selfworth,” Hilty said.

City of Aumsville – www.aumsville.us City of Stayton – www.staytonoregon.gov City of Sublimity – www.cityofsublimity.org

“When residents seek support, they tend to make an impact in their own lives and create positive outcomes for themselves and their families.”

City of Mill City – www.ci.mill-city.or.us Stayton Sublimity Chamber – www. staytonsublimitychamber.org under Community/Community Links

According to Hilty, the cities of Aumsville, Mill City, Stayton and Sublimity as well as the Stayton Sublimity Chamber of Commerce will join Family Building Blocks in placing a link to the resource guide on their websites.

‘I look at everything differently, and try to look at things through his eyes. I want him to remember what it’s like to do without and appreciate all the things God has given him...’

– Kim Minten home in the woods and experience new things.”

In October, they requested his visa interview. A month later, after jumping through many legal hoops and with his visa granted, they brought Courage home to Sublimity.

So where does he want to go on his next camping trip?

“Somewhere I can swim and go fishing,” he said.

According to his mom, two more camping trips have been planned, including a family reunion weekend where Kim says, “He will meet a lot of new cousins.”

“We arrived in the U.S. with our son the week before Thanksgiving and with much to be thankful for,” Kim said.

“He wants to try waterskiing,” she added. “And we usually go backpacking, which we are trying to do in August.”

When Courage left his native Ghana for Oregon, he thought much about traveling to a “whole new world.”

Meanwhile, day trips have been planned to the zoo, state fair, rodeo and Portland Saturday Market, Kim said.

“It was my first time flying,” he said. “It was a weird feeling taking off in the plane.”

During his first few months with his new family, Courage enjoyed trips to the beach, hiking at Silver Falls, visiting OMSI, going to Timberline for his first glimpse of snow.

He played basketball and soccer, rode his bike, listened to music – all typical teenage activities.

He attended St. Mary Catholic School, where teachers and staff helped him to adjust to his new cultural and educational environment.

The family has strong connections to Catholic education.

Russ and Kim both graduated from Regis, and Alex and her sister, Mackenzie, attended St. Mary and Regis.

Now an OSU graduate, Alex works as a social services

director at a nursing home in Wilsonville. Mackenzie will be a sophomore at the University of Portland where she is studying to become a nurse. And Courage is looking forward to eighth grade at St. Mary. Meanwhile he is enjoying playing summer soccer for Stayton High School.

Most recently, he went on his first camping trip with his family to the Metolius River in Camp Sherman.

“I liked hiking and sitting around the campfire,” Courage said. “It was pretty cool. It’s fun to spend time away from

“We are also attending a wedding in July so it will be his first American wedding,” said Kim, who celebrated 25 years of marriage with Russ about nine days after bringing Courage home from Ghana.

Kim said the experience of adopting Courage has changed her perspective on the American way of life. “I look at everything differently, and try to look at things through his eyes,” she said. “I want him to remember what it’s like to do without and appreciate all the things God has given him.

“We have learned so much,” she added. “It took a lot of courage for him to leave his familiar culture and start a new life. Courage is adjusting amazingly well.”

Civics 101

Got a permit?

By Mary Owen Next time you open the door to find a salesman trying to sell you the “latest and greatest” gidget, ask to see his permit.

Anyone peddling wares door-to-door in Stayton will now require obtaining a permit from the city. Those brazen enough to think they don’t need one could be fined.

Stayton Police Chief Rich Sebens said the city has required a solicitor’s permit for years. It is required for businesses who sell door-to-door.

However, he emphasized, the permit isn’t required for religious organizations, school children or youth groups doing legitimate fundraising.

“In other words, kids selling cookie dough for school fundraising, local youth sports teams selling beef jerky or candy bars, and churches going door-to-door inviting people to their church event are exempt,” Sebens said.

The cost for a permit is $150 per business and one employee, and $25 for each additional employee. For example, a business with eight people selling widgets

Door-to-door salespeople need to stop by Stayton PD first door-to-door would pay $175 for seven employees and $150 for the business and one employee for a total of $325.

To assure a solicitor is legitimate, look for the photo ID permit that he or she must wear around the neck, Sebens said.

“We encourage people to call when they encounter someone going door-to-door without a Stayton permit,” he said. “A violation of this is a $500 fine.”

Applicants undergo a limited background check by the police to make sure they have not been convicted recently for crimes such as fraud, theft, sex crimes and “stranger” misconduct, Sebens said.

“The city does not guarantee the person who receives the permit will not commit a crime while going doorto-door, but we check to see if they have a history of criminal activity or not,” he said.

“A process in place draws legitimate groups, and helps keep crimes from happening.”

Sebens said people can be denied a permit if they have been convicted of crimes such as theft, identity theft and fraud. The city also does not verify the quality of

the product or service being sold, he warned.

“The permit only shows that the person took the proper steps to be allowed to go door-to-door in Stayton,” he said.

“A lot of times people come into town from elsewhere by the vanload. Some will be really pushy. Sometimes the person receives the product, sometimes not.”

Sebens said solicitors sometimes claim they have a permit that they fail to produce, or they show a carbon copy of a license that is not valid.

That’s why residents need to show a little skepticism or simply say “no thank you.”

“The other trick they do is say, ‘My boss has the permit, and he is on the other side of town,’” he added. “They often hide when they see us coming.

Once we even had a salesperson die inside a house while pitching his product, and we finally caught the van driver by using an unmarked car. The boss asked if he needed to pick up the man. To top it all off, it was the guy’s birthday!”

Class to remember

Regis baseball team adds to achievements

Regis High continued to blaze a trail of success in small-school baseball.

Bryce Piete and senior infielder Matt Wiltsey won third-team recognition.

The Rams, who were involved in the playoffs for the 26th consecutive season, advanced to the Class 2A-1A semifinals before falling to eventual champion Knappa.

Other seniors on the squad were Aaron Guzman, Casey Dailey, Caleb Frost, Wyatt Keudell and Paden Reynolds

“This is something that is not taken for granted,” veteran Rams coach Don Heuberger told Our Town. “It is extremely difficult to get into the playoffs and even harder to win in the playoffs.”

This year’s Regis squad stormed through the tough Tri-River with an unblemished record 14-0 record and the Rams thumped Grant Union 16-3 and North Douglas 25-2 to advance to the semis.

The Rams’ squad featured eight seniors who helped the baseball program – and the overall athletic program – put on an impressive run of achievement.

“The 2015 group of senior baseball players have advanced to the OSAA semifinals in football, basketball, and

baseball the last two years,” Heuberger said. “We also advanced to the semifinals in baseball in 2012 and several of the seniors were freshman but contributors to that team’s success.”

With success came post-season honors.

Five Rams were selected to the all-state team, led by first-team infielder Tim Frith and first-team outfielder Blake Minten. Both players are seniors.

Sophomore outfielder Javon Logan was a second-team pick and sophomore pitcher

And then there is the wily veteran in the wraparound shades in the thirdbase coaching box. Heuberger, who just completed his 37th year at Regis, is No. 2 all-time in baseball wins in state history and could hit 700 next season. His Rams won state titles in 2001 and 2003 and have finished second in 1985, 1991 and 2007.

Elk Hoop Shoot: Sharpshooting basketball standout Jacob Axmaker continues to shine at the national level.

Jacob, an 11-year-old at Sublimity Elementary School, shot his way to the national Elks Hoop Shoot Championships at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

Jacob, who was representing Silverton Elks Lodge, No. 2210, finished second

in his age division at the national event, being bested only by Zocko Littleton Jr of Atlanta. Jacob moved up three spots in the national rankings this year after finishing fifth in last year’s national tournament, which is open to shooters aged 8 to 13. His journey had numorous stops including one to Keizer, that hosted the state championships. When Jacob won there he moved on to regional competition in Vancouver, Wash. And a victory there earned Jacob and his parents an all-expenses paid trip to Springfield for the national event. Jacob’s performance earned him a trophy, a plaque, a basketball and a T-shirt.

Stayton runs: It’s not too late to participate in the annual 4th of July runs.

Day-of-the-race registration for the 3K run/walk, 5K trail run and the 10K run begins at 8 a.m. July 4 at the Stayton Community Center on West Burnett Street. Race fees are $15 per person.

Races start at 9 a.m.

Scout project

By James Day A dedicated Eagle Scout helped add another brick to the foundation of improvements at Regis High School’s track and field facility.

Rams senior Jacob Adams, a member of Troop 50, led the fundraising and project coordination for a new storage shed that is now safely securing track and field equipment.

“What he designed and built with the help of volunteers and the guidance of his father, Ken Adams, is a first-class building capable of storing (high jump and pole vault) pits and a lot more,” said Regis track and field and cross country coach Mike Bauer.

“This project was developed on his own accord,” said Regis spokeswoman Alli Erhardt. “It was Jacob’s dedication and motivation that saw the project through to completion. He wrote letters to organizations, met with business owners

Adams recruited students from both Regis and Stayton high schools to build the storage shed.

“I like to give back to the community,” said Adams, who has been involved in Scouting since the second grade.

“I know I have talent in the metal working field and I’m so glad I can use those skills to give back to Regis.

a Grin at the end

What’s in a name deciding what to call their little bundle of joy.

I’ve always been amazed by the names some parents choose for their children.

Sometimes that uncertainty bridges over to another JNU.

Some are practical.

For example, my Mom always said she chose Carl because she wanted to a make sure I could spell it.

As a name consultant, for a small fee, I would work with parents to develop a list of possibilities. I would guarantee that all of them would be spelled correctly, or at least have an adequate number of vowels.

I don’t know what that says about her faith in my abilities, but to this day I have not misspelled my name.

Mission accomplished.

Other parents rely on traditional family names.

That’s fine.

If your great grandfather was named Bananafana Fofana, you can name your child whatever you want from the Fofana family.

But sometimes, names are creative, to the point of being, well, a bit bizarre.

When we lived in Alaska, one set of parents decided to to call their son “Boy” until he was old enough to choose a name. I never heard what he chose, but I assume it wasn’t Boy, or Bananafana Fofana.

Other parents chose outdoorsy names.

One boy was named Skiff, presuming that he would like the water. Another was named Brick, a solid name if there ever was one.

When my wife was student teaching, she ran into some interesting names. One boy was named JNU, the abbreviation the Alaska Ferry System uses for Juneau.

At least he’ll never get lost.

One rule I always heard about naming a child is to pretend you are yelling the child’s names at sporting

event or at the playground. There are definitely some names that should not be shouted out loud. And while they may look good on paper, the name doesn’t translate well when spoken out loud.

Maybe that’s why some people change their names when they become adults.

An acquaintance switched from Gladys to Eve. Hey, if she liked it better, who’s to argue?

Still other parents have veered toward movie or television stars’ names.

Years ago, when we lived in Louisiana, I knew a kid named Hoppy. This was when Hopalong Cassidy was popular in the movies. Come to think of it, I also knew a Roy and a Dale, as in Rogers and Evans.

Still others were named for colors. Red has always been popular. One of my favorite names of all time was the character Red Green, whose show used to be on Canadian TV and PBS. The reason I bring this up is I was thinking of starting a new business.

I want to be a name consultant. A name consultant is important because some parents have a difficult time

Once junior is born, the parents could just pick a name from the list.

Or not. It would be up to them.

Before our oldest son was born, we had decided to name him Maximilian. For practically the entire pregnancy, we referred to the baby as Max, although we didn’t even know whether he/she was a boy/girl. I suppose if she was a girl she’d have been Maxine.

But he was a boy, and the first thing we did was name him Paul. I don’t know why. We just figured he looked like a Paul instead of a Max. I totally understand how parents think when they’re trying to figure out a good name.

It’s a tough decision.

That’s why a name consultant could come in handy.

Now, if I could only come up with a good name for the business….
