Fake news

City Manager addresses police rumor

By Mary Owen Word is circulating on social media that the Stayton Police Department is going to be outsourced.

“This is completely a rumor and not true,” said Rich Sebens, SPD police chief.

City Manager Keith Campbell said although as a policy, he doesn’t think it in the best interest of the city to address such rumors, the one regarding police services is one he could not ignore.

“The city is committed to the police department and public safety,” Campbell said. “There has never been any discussion of eliminating or outsourcing our department.”

The 2019 adopted police budget tops $2.3 million, which is 110 percent of property tax revenue, Campbell said in his message. General Fund dollars from franchise fees and other sources compensate for the approximately 10 percent overage, he said.

“This remains consistent with funding levels for previous years,” he added. “In addition, this year the city adopted additional funding of $250,000 to address funding shortages in PERS.” In his budget message, Campbell cited pension liability as “the biggest long-term risk” to the city.

“Over the last two years, the city has invested significant resources to address the Unfunded Actuarial Liability of the city’s Defined Benefit Plan,” he said. “The UAL is an actuarial term that refers to the difference between the actuarial values of assets owned by the plan and the total benefits due to be paid.

“The second benefits liability doesn’t carry the same risk, but the obligation costs are still significant enough to have a detrimental impact on our operations, PERS,” he added.

“At this time the only employees in PERS are sworn police officers.”

According to Campbell, the estimated annual increase to PERS contributions, relative to fiscal year 2019, during the next five fiscal years is approximately: $62,000 for 2020; $67,000 for 2021; $142,000 for 2022; $148,000 for 2023; and $172,000 for 2023.

Campbell said these cost increases could have a long-term impact on the city. To address the challenges, the adopted budget reduces full-time sworn police officers from 13 to 12.

“Factoring in the PERS increases requires a need to be cautious of our stewardship of taxpayer resources and to balance the other needs in the community,” Campbell said.

How the rumor started remains unknown, but Campbell’s best guess is from the decision not to fill the vacant position in the department.

Predator nabs family pet Being out in nature includes natural threats. That’s the painful lesson the Torres family learned and want to remind their neighbors about. There are predators that see small animals as a quick meal.

Sarah Torres was out walking the trail behind Stayton Middle School July 15, enjoying the summer day with her German shepherd, French bulldog, and the family’s six-year-old Yorkie, “Baby.” The eightpound Yorkie loved joining in on hikes and being outdoors with the big dogs, Sarah’s mother, Tammy Torres said. He wore a harness and normally stayed out in front on a walk, where his human companions could keep an eye on him.

In the mid-afternoon on the 15th he fell behind.

Sarah heard a yelp. There was motion in the bushes, and Baby was gone. The family notified Stayton Police and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife was alerted. The family searched for hours with no results. A tracker for ODFW later advised them that while it could have been a cougar, it was just as likely Baby fell victim to a hungry coyote.

“We are heartbroken,” Tammy Torres said.

“We share this area with nature’s wild things,” she added, advising caution for hikers and their fourlegged companions. The family has posted warnings near the trailhead.

Update

Out of the ashes

By Melissa Wagoner It has been a year since the Silver Creek Fire burned approximately 30 acres of forest near Camp Silver Creek, in Silver Falls State Park. Presumably ignited by lightning – the sparks of which smoldered for some time before dry, hot weather caused it to spread – smoke from the fire was first reported on July 12, 2018.

“The fire killed most of the understory plants, saplings and shrubs as well as many of the larger western hemlock trees,” Kevin McLain, a park ranger at Silver Falls State Park said. “Although this was not a crownfire, we know that if the fire completely circles the cambium of a large western hemlock the tree will most likely die, and this is what we see in this case.”

But not all was lost, and already there are several species of plants making a resurgence in the area.

“Regrowth at this point nearly a year after the fire is primarily weeds and ruderal species, with some Oregon grape, salal, flowers, and other types of berries starting

to grow,” McClain said. “This is typical and expected in these types of burns in this ecosystem. In a short time seeds from the nearby trees will start to take in this area.

It is helpful that the burn was very small and isolated and there is still plenty of nearby seed sources around it to speed the recovery. There is no reason to believe it will not make a full healthy recovery.”

looked upon as a destructive event but as a naturally occurring one that may have been long overdue, according to McClain.

“I can say with some confidence that it is likely there has not been a large fire there since the land became a state park in 1933,” he said. “Historic fire-regimes for these types of forest prior to European settlement saw a fire-return interval of around 25-40 years, so not having a large documented fire for close to a century is a significant change.”

Fires of this type can seem catastrophic, especially so close to historical structures and private homes, but forest fires are actually a normal and healthy part of the forest ecosystem’s cycle. “[F]ires are immensely important in forest ecology – although the significance and the role of fire is slightly different in different types of forests and in different types of ecosystems,” McLain said. “It creates and maintains entire ecosystems, and scientists have found interesting links between how plant species have co-evolved with fire. Some plants that have a long history with fire actually ‘self-promote’ their own species by encouraging fire. Chemical, physiological, and physical aspects of

these plants will promote certain types of fire behavior and fire frequencies which ultimately determine fire’s larger role in that ecosystem, the types of plants and trees that grow there, and the physical structure of that vegetation.”

And this kind of fire repression can have a detrimental effect on the overall health of the forests, causing increased tree density, canopy closure and overgrowth of the understory’s “ladder fuels,” which actually increases the fire risk.

“It’s not a matter of if it burns, it’s a matter of when and how severe it burns,” McClain said, quoting a professor from Colorado State University’s Natural Resource Stewardship program, where he is working toward his master’s degree.

Silver Falls Continued from page 6

“Fire suppression ultimately just postpones the inevitable and allows vegetation to grow in thicker and denser, resulting in more severe, higher-intensity wildfires that are more destructive and take the ecosystem longer to recover from – if they are able to recover at all. Higher-severity fires are a greater threat to human life and they threaten the ecosystem services that forests provide.”

What McClain suggests instead is a pattern of prescribed burns, which help mitigate some of the risk of fires while still promoting biodiversity. But with today’s human population ever-expanding, even the most remote wild spaces and carefully controlled burning requires real planning.

“One solution that National Forests use is to categorize the forest into three different zones depending on how close it comes to people or structures, and then to manage each of those zones differently as it relates to fire,” McClain said.

Although controlled burning is not yet

something that Silver Falls State Park is looking at utilizing any time soon, according to McClain who said, “[W]ith the current density of Silver Falls’ forests we have to be very careful with what fires we allow to burn and when we allow them to burn as conditions exist right now. If prescribed fires were to be introduced, it is likely that manual thinning would need to be performed first before they can be lit safely, and even then it would likely be lit in a controlled environment with firefighters on scene.”

What McClain is certain of, however, is the importance of fire suppression on a visitor level.

“Please be very careful when recreating in the park to not contribute to the firerisk by being careless or negligent and accidentally igniting a fire that would jeopardize the future of the park,” he urged. “It is likely that there will be a mandatory fire ban this summer, so it is important to be aware of what is allowed in the park before arriving.”

Looking Back

Housing history

By Mary Owen The square brick building on the corner of Main and Sixth streets in Aumsville has served the community in many roles – bank, post office, shop, telephone company, city hall. On Aug. 10 the Aumsville Historical Society celebrates the building’s 10th year as city museum.

Years ago AHS members expressed a desire to have a museum, and after hosting a yard sale to defray the cost of becoming a nonprofit, began to donate items to AHS in anticipation of having them displayed, said Ted Shepard, president of the organization.

“The small brick building at the corner of Main and 6th had been built in 1912 as a bank,” he said. “Aumsville State Bank continued to operate there until 1933.

From about 1937 until 1958, Aumsville’s post office was in that building. After that, it served as a plumbing shop, then the telephone office.

“Beginning in 1971, Aumsville’s city

Aumsville toasts museum’s 10th anniversary

offices were located there,” he continued.

“The city had a plan to build a new city hall complex just north of the old location.

It was agreed that when the city did so, it would lease the brick building to Aumsville Historical Society as a museum and history center.”

AHS moved in July 2009 and all donations were taken out of storage and displayed in its new “home.”

“A Native American mortar and pestle are probably the oldest items,” Shepard said.

“The rocks are ancient. There is no way to tell how many years ago they were shaped by the indigenous people, who routinely came to this area to gather food, especially camas bulbs.”

Shepard said the mortar and pestle were found in 1962 while digging trenches on the Busby property north of Aumsville.

“The library has many books on Oregon history,” he said. “Some contain reprints of the diaries and drawings by seafarers who explored the Pacific Northwest coast, as

well as records of hunters and missionaries, who came overland. Pioneer trail diaries are also available.

“The 1893-1914 Aumsville Post Office ledger shows information about postal money orders which were cashed during that period of time,” he added. “There are many annuals from local schools and family histories with pictures and maps.

Visitors sometimes find familiar names in them. People often ask about family or friends, who used to live in Aumsville.”

Shepard said museum resources provide answers, as well as make residents more aware of area history. AHS has published two books about the Aumsville, he added.

“The museum also proudly displays the 1948 Oregon State Basketball Championship trophy, which was won by Aumsville High School,” he said. “The names of 20 team members are engraved on it.”

Recently, Wayne Herring came to the museum to see the AHS bottle collection.

As a collector with about 4,000 of his own,

Herring was able to provide information about some of the museum’s.

An interactive website provides information about AHS and its activities, Shepard said. Readers can comment on the website or ask questions.

“These inquiries help to widen the museum’s database,” Shepard said.

“AHS is appreciative of the people who have helped make this possible, including donors, visitors, local businesses and city staff.”

The next AHS meeting will be held 6:30 p.m., Oct. 10 in the Aumsville Community Center. The museum season runs April through October, and is usually open Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“In honor of its 10th anniversary, the museum will be open at 10 a.m. on Aug. 10,” Shepard said. Refreshments will be served.

For appointments to visit at other times contact Shepard, 503-749-2744, or Karlene Santibanez, 503-749-2585.

Heping Hands

Home away from home

By Mary Owen Starting this fall, local teens will have a place to hang out after school – the Santiam Teen Center.

“We anticipate [to] service 30 youth per day by offering classes, food, training, homework mentoring and mental health support,” said Joanie Wigginton, the center’s executive director.

“We will be open specifically during the school year for after school support and resources. This will provide our teens with 180 days of community outreach and support.”

To celebrate the fall opening, STC will host an open house barbecue 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at the center, 2800 Kindle Way, Stayton.

The center needs more volunteers who, once skills and background checks are complete, will help teach life skills and support teens in their educational pursuits. The center can also help provide

a stable socio-economic platform within the community, Wigginton said.

The Santiam Teen Center is a nonprofit entity under the umbrella of New Growth Ministries, an organization established in Stayton in 2011. The vision for the teen center is for it to be a place of rest and positive reinforcement.

“More than ever statistics regarding youth loneliness, depression and anxiety are on the rise, and spending time with other people in person is one of the best predictors of well-being,” said Darcey Pokorny, board secretary for New Growth.

“Our youth need an encouraging voice, someone to listen, and to know their name.”

Current funding of the program, targeting teens ages 13 to 18, comes from grant support and, Wigginton said, “amazing support from the community in both time and in-kind donations.”

Teens relaxing at the new Santiam Teen Center on Kindle Way.

“We will also be working with the Oregon Food Share to ensure our kids will have healthy snacks and meals available to them,” said Heidi Fosmark, board vice-president.

“We want our teen center to be a home away from home, somewhere they will

feel safe, comfortable and welcomed.”

Wigginton anticipates most participants to come from the local high schools, but teens that come from outside of the city limits will not be turned away.

dream of New Growth Ministries, and last year the city of Stayton offered us the amazing support of a building and space to make this dream a reality,” Wigginton said.

New Growth offers resource services as well as one-on-one mentoring to parents, youth and host families, she added.

“These opportunities assist our supported youth and their parents to develop resilience in difficult times,” she said.

New Growth primarily serves the at-risk youth within a 20-mile radius of Stayton.

The majority of clients fall within the North Santiam School District, with a significant percentage from homes falling below poverty guidelines, Wigginton said.

“Once established, we will be looking to add middle school options and expanding services to other age groups with purchasing of a potentially larger building,” she said.

The center is “uniquely qualified” to succeed due to community alliance and small business support, Wigginton said, Sponsors of in-kind and financial donations include: City of Stayton lease; Oregon Community Foundation; Mike and Steffani Klein; United Way; Salem Association; Community 101; Capital Pawn; North Santiam School District Foundation; Stayton Kiwanis; Denise Busch, Paramount Real Estate; Doerfler Farms; Freres Lumber; Team Bonebrake; Dave Valencia Sate Farm; Calvary Lutheran; Budget Blinds of the Mid Willamette Valley; Stayton Law, Duncan, Tiger and Niegel; Beta Phi Sigma; Not So Shabby; SCTC; Siegmund Landscape; Knife River; and the Stayton Library Foundation.

Hamilton said.

The Santiam Outreach Community Center in Mill City opens Aug. 1.

Hamilton said during the most recent count in January, MWVCAA partnered with local providers and leaders for a more focused approach. As a result, 115 unsheltered households were identified.

MWVCAA has committed a variety of state funds offered through Oregon Housing and Community Services to this project, Hamilton said.

SOCC is a new rural resource center of Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency and Recovery Outreach Community Center, two entities collaborating to foster positive change in the Santiam Canyon community.

“MWVCAA has vested interest in addressing rural poverty in the Santiam area,” Ashley Hamilton, program manager of the ARCHES project. “For a while, there was even an outpost resource center in Stayton. However, when the recession hit, services were scaled back, one of them being closing the Stayton office.

Unfortunately, even as the economy recovered, we lost sight of our focus and never fully re-invested in the community, despite our best intentions to do so.”

As resources became available, everything began to shift in 2016, Hamilton said.

“This was attributed to a renewed rural poverty agenda set forth by the state, as well as promoted internally at MWVCAA,” she said. “This spark was further ignited by the Santiam Service Integration Teams which continually advocated for the area, stressing for the needs of the community that were routinely being bypassed by current service delivery structures.”

“This was a drastic increase over previous years,” Hamilton said.

“While MWVCAA was gaining insight, the ROCC was working on a plan to expand services into the Santiam. They caught wind of MWVCAA’s vision of service expansion and offered to partner on a joint venture – a resource center to house both MWVCAA and ROCC services, missions and values.”

This spring, Hamilton said efforts were fulfilled when the ideal location became available, 280 NE Santiam Blvd., Mill City. Now a reality, SOCC will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

“The center is a community center with the goal to be a place for people to build relationships with each other through peer-led groups and activities going on throughout the day, including yoga, guided meditation and art groups,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton said this was highlighted by the annual Point in Time Count homeless count facilitated by MWVCAA. The count includes Marion and Polk counties.

The center will also be a place to get assessments for the ARCHES housing programs, for emergency assistance, and for support groups such as the Now What? for early recovery and the Four Agreements for life wisdom. People can receive hygiene kits or get mailboxes. All services are free.

“Traditionally, numbers in this region were low,” she said. “However, this was not because of a lack of need, but mainly attributed to there being a historical lack

The Santiam Service Integration Team has been the primary driver in helping MWVCAA and ROCC identify the true need and vulnerability of the area,

“They are also seeking additional opportunities for financing through private foundation grants,” she added.

“ROCC has also invested their share of private and grant financing.”

The site will be a hub for rotating community partners and be an activation site during inclement weather as a warming center, Hamilton said.

“SOCC looks forward to partnering with area providers to help fill the vast need presenting in Santiam,” she said.

will be able to get a ride to SOCC or walk or take the bus.”

“I will be refocusing some of my work to enhancing the SI program, specifically coordinating a training day for service providers/community members to learn the ‘ins and outs’ of organization’s services,” Baurer said.

“We also will continue to build awareness to Salem-based service providers of the need in the Santiam region as many of the providers’ mission is to serve all of Marion County.”

Baurer added, “ROCC coming to the Santiam Region will have an enormous impact.”

“This includes building on the longstanding relationship with the Canyon Crisis Center to generate new and exciting pathways to service for the community.”

She said those recovering and healing from alcohol, drugs and fotmer former trauma will have access to peer-led support groups, healing from trauma courses, and peer-led activities.”

ROCC Executive Director Christina Korkow, who has lived in Mill City for almost seven years, sees the needs in the community every day.

Hamilton commended Mill City and Gates for welcoming SOCC, allowing the center to put area expertise and resources to work.

“I believe the services that ARCHES and SIT partners will provide coupled with ROCC’s ability to foster a safe and nurturing environment where people can feel they belong, feel encouraged and empowered by their peers, is going to be an amazing combination,” Korkow said.

“Each organization is great and can do a lot on their own, but together we have the potential to be phenomenal and influence positive changes in the lives we touch.”

SI program coordinator Melissa Baurer expects a drop in travel and home visits because, she said, “households more likely

“It’s going to take a community approach to make this initiative work, addressing the impacts of poverty one household at a time,” Hamilton said.

Individuals interested in helping can donate feminine hygiene products, shampoo/conditioners/soap, pet food, toothbrushes/paste, adult and child diapers, formula, baby wipes, art supplies, and monetary gifts. Donations are accepted during SOCC business hours.

Something to Celebrate

Forest honored

Opal Creek now part of old-growth network

By James Day On the logging road that takes you from the Opal Creek trailhead to the historic mining town Jawbone Flats lies an old-growth icon, the Guts Gibbs tree, a 270-foot-tall Douglas fir snag that is perhaps 1,000 years old.

Named for the Oregon governor who denounced slavery during the Civil War, the tree symbolizes the power of old-growth forests and the importance of Opal Creek.

The region was bruised and battered during the timber wars of the 1980s and 1990s and has emerged as a recreational and educational mecca... And with a new trophy to put on the wall.

On July 11 the Old-Growth Forest Network honored Opal Creek as its “forever wild” forest for Marion County.

Old-Growth Forest Network founder and director Joan Maloof, an author and botanist, was on hand for the dedication, the 100th ceremony the Maryland-based network has initiated. Maloof also was present for similar ceremonies at Cummins Creek Wilderness (Lane County) and Cook’s Ridge (Lincoln County).

“How are we going to protect these places for posterity?”

Maloof said amid a sun-dappled dedication ceremony on the Gold Creek Bridge. “We have to create a network of people who care about forests and we have to get them out into the forests.

“I already knew about Opal Creek because I have been reading about it since the 1990s. But I never imagined I would be here. Magic has a way of making things happen.”

Maloof spoke before a group of about 30, including Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center staffers, members and officials from Oregon Wild and supporters such as George Atiyeh, who worked tenaciously to preserve the 35,000acre forest in the 1980s and 1990s.

“If you say Opal Creek people think big trees, tall trees

Supporters of the Opal Creek Wilderness Area celebrate the forest’s induction into the Old-GrowthForest Network at a ceremony July 11 at the Gold Creek Bridge. Holding the award are, from left, longtime Opal Creek supporter George Atiyeh, Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center executive director Katie Ryan, and Joan Maloof, founder and director of the Old-Growth Forest Network.

and clean water,” said Katie Ryan, executive director of the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center. “This place is real special in Oregon history.”

Chandra LeGue of Oregon Wild, who has just published a book on hiking Oregon’s ancient forests, spoke about the changes that human presence has made on the landscape and noted the species that thrive in old forests such as the marbeled murrelet.

“To be able to save an area this large is really special,” she said, “and it’s necessary for a forest like this to function.”

Maloof and her county coordinators are guided by three principles when searching for forests to add to the network. First, the forest must be as old as possible.

Second, it must be protected from logging. And third, it must be accessible to the public.

“Opal Creek was a no-brainer,” she said. “We already knew this was going to be the forest for Marion County.”

Forests in 22 states are in the network, with the three dedicated in July the first in Oregon to join. Maloof noted that there are approximately 3,000 counties in the U.S. However, more than 600 have no forests. Other counties pose challenges for selection because they are so urban.

“I might not get to all of them in my lifetime, she said.

There will be other lifetimes. Just ask Guts Gibbs.

In her remarks Ryan noted that the primary work done at the forest involves education and stewardship.

“If people care about a place they will stand up to protect it,” she said. “And they will only stand up for it if they know it.”

Sports & Recreation

Academic stars

Santiam, Cascade place five teams in top 10

Five Santiam High School athletic teams were ranked in the top 10 in their respective sports in the academic rankings compiled by the Oregon School Activities Association.

The Wolverines’ softball team led the entire Class 2A with a 3.82 grade-point average, although the highest GPA was a 3.90 by the girls basketball, which finished second in the rankings.

The boys basketball team was tied for second at 3.63, and the baseball team (3.25) and the football team (3.12) both finished seventh.

Cascade also placed five teams in the top 10, with the football team taking second at 3.25. The top GPA was turned in by girls track and field, which was 10th at 3.58. Also in the top 10 were wrestling (tied for sixth at 3.15), band (fourth at 3.55) and boys track and field (10th at 3.24).

Stayton placed three squads in the top 10, led by its second-place girls basketball team at 3.80. Girls tennis for the Eagles was 10th at 3.73, with band finishing ninth at 3.39.

Running: More than 150 runners and walkers participated in the annual 4th of July events in Stayton, with Stayton High School runners turning in strong performances.

Ben Kirby, 17, won the 5-kilometer trail run event in 17:14.9, with Eagles teammate Matthew Frazeur, 18, taking

the 10K trail run in 35:24.1. Hailey Notman, 16, of the Stayton girls squad, took seventh in the 10K in 47:01.6 and was the top female finisher.

Other winners included Jennifer Holloway, 38, of Stayton, who won the 3K walk in 23:37.7, and Cascade High’s Kane Nixon, 17, of Turner, first in the 3K run in 10:54.3.

OSAA Cup: Santiam finished 11th among Class 2A schools in the seasonlong competition that includes athletic success, academics and sportsmanship.

Stayton, meanwhile, finished 14th in Class 4A.

The Stayton Senior American team won back-to-back state championships with a 26-2 win over North Marion on July 21. The team is 46-0 over the last two years, undefeated in all JBO games.

The team is led by head coach Tim Manning and assistant coaches Kenny Leming, Patrick Monninger and Nick Brown. Players are Eli Brown, Wyatt Connally, Cody Leming, Brock Hubert, Conner Choate, Tayven Nichols, Noah Koenig, Hunter Clark, Max Eaton and Kollin Schumacher.

SHOW-MEI CLARK

Facilities upgrade: That strangely shaped object that has been rising out of the ground just beyond the fence at Jay Lamb Memorial Field at Stayton High will be the new batting cage for the softball program, Athletic Director Darren Shryock told Our Town. The athletic program has a good momentum going with facilities in recent years. Last year the baseball program debuted a batting cage and three years ago the football field received artificial turf.

It’s getting better...

There’s wisdom as you get older

There’s one advantage to being a “senior citizen.” You get lots of mail.

appreciated, but the really cool thing about getting old is being asked for advice.

the cool side of 65, all sorts of folks have been lining up to help me with all sorts of things.

They want to warn me that my Social Security number has been stolen, and if I tell them what it is, they’ll take care of it Treatment of for me.

Ugh. I just shred the letters and ignore the calls. Unless a call comes from someone I know, I don’t answer.

I always thought the hard part about Maria Fife, Carl W Leder, getting old would be, well, getting old.

FNP-BC PA-C I notice my steps don’t quite have the bounce they once did, and that certain things work a little more sporadically than they used to.

That’s OK. As a friend constantly Chronic Illness reminds me about getting old: “Hey, it beats the alternative.”

Somehow, I manage to resist suchthese as Diabetes/Hypertension tempting offers. there are a great many things that Preventative Care • But Sports Medicine I like about getting older, and I’m not And I’m not talking about an occasional just talking about the senior letter or phone call.

But over the last few years, my “knowledge bank” has begun to come in handy. I get phone calls and questions about “people problems” but I most often get questions about stuff. They range from “How does a clutch work in a car?” to “What’s a mutual fund?”

These are things a guy picks up as he rattles through six decades on this planet.

But my favorite questions are about other things.

“Are things getting better or worse?”

This is my favorite question of all time.

It’s not so much about facts as attitudes.

These are interesting times, there’s no doubt about it, but when were times not

interesting? Not too long ago, we finished off a century that was chock-a-block with wars and fears about everything from the destruction of the planet to over population.

Luckily, the “experts” were generally out to lunch or exaggerating. Knock on wood, we’ll all be around for a good long time.

And yes, there will be more challenges ahead, just as there have been since the first humans moved in next door to the Flintstones. My answer is always that “things will get better.”

And they do. Sometimes it takes a bit longer than other times, but by and large, things do always get better.

And now, if I can only get the junk mail and robo calls to stop, things will really get better.
