Something to Talk About

Eclipse notes

By Mary Owen The Great American Eclipse turned out to be a time of quality over quantity, with no lack of special activities throughout the Santiam Canyon and less people than expected.

“Although we did not have the anticipated traffic or crowding problems presented by the larger media outlets, we did indeed have a welcome influx of interesting visitors,” said Carmelle Bielenberg, president/CEO of the Stayton Sublimity Chamber of Commerce, a sponsor of Friday night’s Howl at the Moon.

“It was a humbling experience to share our love for our local community with people from all over the globe. We had overwhelmingly positive feedback from tourists to our area, praising both the natural beauty, as well as the friendly, helpful people they encountered during their time here.”

Bielenberg said SSCOC received well over 600 people at the Visitor Center

Event crowds smaller than expected, but mighty happy

Check out Eclipse and River Fusion 22 photo highlights at Facebook: Our Town / Santiam in the course of the four-day eclipse weekend.

“We met interesting travelers from all over the world that are eager to return to our area and further explore what it has to offer,” she said.

Lower numbers helped local campsite providers “flawlessly” handle eclipse visitors, promoter Scott Ingalls said.

Ingalls added, “Our guests were constantly complimentary on the site and the overall event. We had folks from all over the world, with most of them from California and Washington. Folks were also able to go tour Silver Falls, or the covered bridges, or go to some of the area events as part of River Fusion 22 without any traffic issues. It turned out very well!”

An estimated 800 to 1,000 visitors stopped

in at Mill City to view what more than 45 vendors had for sale, according to organizers of the River City Music & Art Jamboree.

“The VIP area had about 100 folks. The beer garden, hosted by the Trio Tavern, was well organized and attended,” said spokesperson Tom Peters.

Bielenberg and her colleagues were excited to experience the outcome of the Howl at the Moon Block Party in downtown Stayton on the Friday night prior to the eclipse.

“It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves, getting to know their neighbors, and patronizing local Third Avenue businesses,” she said. “I think it was a successful inaugural event and look forward to seeing it and other opportunities like it continue and grow.”

Allison McKenzie, executive director of GROW-EDC, also commended local businesses for networking to accommodate both visitors and business owners.

“Even in the heat of all of this activity

Now that the eclipse is over the tourism group will focus on North Santiam River Country beyond the annual River Fusion 22 festival, she said.

“Check out our new ’22 to Do Along Highway 22’ rack card on our Facebook page for an idea about where we’re going with this,” McKenzie said. “It’s designed to boost our region as a year-round outdoor recreation and beauty spot.”

Rare opportunity:

Large, one bedroom suites are now available.

700 sf is a lot of living in one room.

McKenzie said visitors still have an opportunity to enter River Fusion’s Facebook contest to win a raft trip for four from eNRG Kayaking, a one-night stay at Rushing River Retreat in Idanha, two $20 gift certificates from Poppa Al’s Famous Hamburgers in Mill City, and two $25 gift certificates from Moxieberry Café in Stayton.

Looking Back

Putting names to faces

By Richard Sly Our family happened upon an ancient trunk a couple years ago. Opening the cover, we discovered a treasure trove of saved family memories. The trunk contained, legal documents, letters, holiday cards and over 200 historical photographs dating back to 1890s, over 125 years ago. We know for certain these were saved by our great-grandparents, Susan and August Zoellner. They arrived in Oregon 1875 to homestead on the foothills of the Cascade Range near Mehama.

The Zoellners raised nine children born between 1876 and 1893; five girls and four boys. The Zoellner family were well known in the Santiam Canyon. They had friends in Stayton, Jordan Valley, Elkhorn and neighboring Lyons. The last local surviving son, Gordon Zoellner, was a bachelor farmer and keeper of family memories. He saved family photos, informal snapshots and studio portraits belonging to his parents. A few of the snapshots have handwritten notes on the reverse, most do not. There are pictures and family artifacts belonging to an older brother, William Zoellner who died in 1917 from complications with miner’s black lung disease where he worked near Kellogg and Wardner, Idaho. Also in the trunk are personal effects belonging to a younger brother, Gus Zoellner, an American soldier killed in France during the Great War in 1918.

Trunk yields images from days long gone

“Photographs don’t distinguish between the living and the dead. The pictures are always there. And so are the people in them, frozen in the best time of their lives.”

– Robert Goddard We’ve been able to identify all Zoellner family members with the assistance of aged family members. A few lifelong Mehama area residents have helped identify a few neighbors and friends pictured in the collection.

We’ve confirmed photos of the Titze family, Sam and Lizzie Burdick, Nicholas and Maud Wagner and their children, Minnie and Frank Zimmerman and their family.

We believe people living in the Santiam Canyon area or families with historical photographs may be able to spot a familiar snapshot from a similarly ancient set of photos.

If you see someone you know who is not identified in the caption, please let Our Town know so we can update our records.

Editor’s note: We will share the photos pulled from the Zoellners’ collections as space allows. We’re hoping our readers can help with identifications.

A special place

Stayton’s historic Brown House opens for event rentals

By Mary Owen

of personal liability insurance is required. An SHF member is on hand at all times during the rental period.

Space at the historic Charles and Martha Brown House is becoming the place to rent for special events.

The upstairs is unavailable at this time, Stone said.

“For the most part, once the kitchen was complete, which happened last year, we’ve been available for most any event anyone wants to be something special,” said Wendy Stone, president of the Santiam Heritage Foundation.

“We have recently started a Capital Campaign to engage corporate sponsors to help us complete the second floor and the hospital laundry,” she said. “When complete, the second floor will provide rental space, which we hope will help the house become self-sustaining. We anticipate using the hospital laundry building to educate folks about the years the house served as Stayton’s first hospital.”

To date, the Brown House has opened its doors for various group meetings, but occasional special events peppered the schedule, Stone said.

“A local business owner held his Greeters meeting combined with his business’s 40th anniversary celebration in the house,” she said. “Individuals have rented the house for a wedding shower, bridal shower, and a 50th wedding anniversary party. SHF has held Victorian Teas, art shows, concerts, and many open houses, especially during SummerFest.”

“The historic nature and beauty of the house lends a certain ambience to memorable events,” Stone said.

“Someplace out of the ordinary can make the event that much more memorable.”

Future events slated at the Brown House include: Cruise In, Patriot’s Day. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 10, free;

SHELDON TRAVER

Victorian Tea and Fashion Show, with light luncheon and pastries, 1 p.m., Oct. 14, $20 advance tickets only (online or phone); Children’s Trick or Treat, 4-6 p.m., Oct. 31, free; and music in the house in November and December, dates to be confirmed.

Currently, cost for renting the Brown House is $40 per hour for the first three hours, including set-up and cleanup time. Facilities available to use include: two large parlor rooms, a dining room, a greeting room, the outside porches and the grounds. Small washroom facilities are available on the first floor. Capacity is up to 50 people, and a limited number of chairs and tables are available. Proof

More volunteers are needed who are “willing to carry the vision to the finish line,” Stone said.

“We have enjoyed enthusiastic community support over the years, and many local people have served on the SHF board and/or volunteered in countless ways to move the house toward completion,” Stone said. “It’s exciting to see the house so close to achieving the vision of the group who started this voyage, where the house can be the cultural community resource so many have dreamed it could be.”

Details about renting the Brown House can be found on the SHF website, www.brownhouse.org. For specific rental questions e-mail cmbrownhouse@gmail.com.

Presented by Power Chevrolet, the festival, this year themed “Pulling for the Community,” takes place at the Sublimity Harvest Festival Grounds, complete with food booths and commercial vendors.

“New this year is the Sunday Fun Day, with lawn games on the patio lawn of the entertainment tent on Sunday,” Ingalls said. “Also two trucks are new this year, and we have a new set of bleachers on the east side.”

Gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday, with light entertainment and live music by Chris Tardiff and Showdown, a highenergy, honky-tonk band playing classic gold numbers with just a hint of southern rock and blues.

The Genuine. The Original.

Pulling competition begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by the ever-popular monster trucks. Pull events include ATVs, horse, tractor and truck. Friday’s events are sponsored by Papé Machinery.

Saturday’s action begins with the 39th annual Sublimity Harvest Festival Road Run and Walk at 9 a.m. at Sublimity Elementary School followed by a parade, starting at 11 a.m. at Sublimity Middle School. Gates open at noon and light entertainment for all ages runs until 6 p.m. The Dusty Trail Band will be on stage during breaks.

Pulling competition continues at 6 p.m. followed by monster trucks.

Entertainment in the Coors Light tent will be for ages 21 and older from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with live music by Briana Renea, who hails from Canby. Saturday’s event sponsor is Peterson CAT.

“Favorites are always the monster trucks and the modified tractors and trucks with their multi-engines and lots of noise,” Ingalls said. “There are always after-race autograph parties on the tracks with the monster trucks and modified vehicles.

And the kids really enjoy the KidZone with a zip line, bounce toys and more.”

Advanced tickets are available at Wilco Farm stores in Stayton, Silverton and Lebanon or online at the festival’s website. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate on the day of the event.

The Mousetrap

Agatha Christie murder mystery opens ACT season

By Mary Owen

through PayPal. All tickets are held at the door.

A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, and one is a murderer.

Assisting Wilson with the directing is Carly Smith. Cast members are: Shannon Rempel as Mollie Ralston; Josh Baumgartner as Giles Ralston; Darlene Delaney as Mrs. Boyle; Richard Leppig as Major Metcalf; Michelle Isaksen as Miss Casewell; Ed Stiner as Mr. Paravinci; Nathan Stiner as Sergeant Trotter; and Jennifer Baumgartner as Christopher Wren.

Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, The Mousetrap is guaranteed to intrigue audience members who attend Aumsville Community Theatre’s latest play, slated for Sept. 29-30, Oct. 1, Oct. 6-7 and Oct. 13-15 performances at The Little Red Schoolhouse in Stayton.

“Agatha Christie wrote the first version of The Mousetrap to celebrate Queen Mary’s 80th birthday in 1947,” said Director Beverly Wilson. “Our actors are super dedicated to the play, and they are very excited to perform this one. They have been working very hard to bring this play to life.”

The eight-member cast has teens to seniors, all of whom, Wilson said, have been rehearsing very diligently to prepare.

“Our biggest challenge has been the cast size and fitting them on stage,” she

added. “However, Maurice Wilson, our stage builder, has really created a realistic space for us to perform on. This is the first time we have had stairs on this stage space, and they really bring another dimension to the play.”

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and curtain time

is 7 p.m. on opening night and all Friday and Saturday performances. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. and curtain time is 2 p.m. on all Sunday performances.

Tickets are $15.75 for adults, $12.75 for seniors and $8.25 for children 12 and under, and can be purchased in advance

“We will be performing Stuart Little, the musical, during the Christmas season,” Wilson said. “Auditions are at 4 p.m. on Sept. 9 at The Little Red Schoolhouse.

All ages, adult and children, are needed.”

Barefoot in the Park in February/March and Cheaper by the Dozen in May round up ACT’s 2017-2018 season.

Helping Hands

Coordinated effort

By Mary Owen The recent restructuring of the Canyon Collaborative has led to the creation of the Santiam Service Integration Team.

“It’s always rewarding when our communities come together in service of others,” said Melissa Baurer, coordinator/ community liaison hired by Santiam Hospital to oversee the SIT program.

After earning a degree in sociology and a master’s degree in criminal justice, Baurer worked for Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency as its Polk County Resource Center Coordinator, a position that introduced her to the Polk County SIT program.

Most recently as the former director of social services at The Salvation Army of Marion and Polk Counties, Baurer frequently collaborated with SIT partners to serve families with an efficient, dignified approach, making it possible to better meet short- and long-term needs.

“SIT brings together partners from all

areas of expertise and eliminates the duplication of services, streamlines the services, and is efficient,” Baurer said.

“Being from the small town of Colton and always having a heart for the rural areas, I was excited to learn Santiam Hospital was going to start SIT In the Santiam region.”

Modeled after the Polk County SIT program, Santiam SIT will facilitate team meetings, promote coordination of services, collaborate with providers, and support the community partners, Baurer said.

“We will begin with the Stayton/ Sublimity team which will cover the North Santiam School District catchment area,” she said. “We will then expand to Cascade Team and Santiam Canyon Team, eventually expanding to Jefferson.

“Community programs, case workers, advocates, pastors and community members are offering valuable and much needed services in the community,” she added. “SIT’s goal is to bring those

the end of the fiscal year had leveraged $25,000. This program is successful, and we are looking forward to seeing the growth of Service Integration in the Santiam Region and the benefits that will come from SIT.”

partners together and facilitate resources and information for families.”

Money raised allows team members to request funding for families participating in the SIT program, Baurer said.

Santiam SIT Launch

Each team will have a funding component, starting with $9,500 for the Stayton/Sublimity Team, which will begin this month. Santiam Hospital kicked off the funding with $3,500, Performance Health Technology added $500, and $4,500 is still needed to meet that goal by the first team meeting, Baurer said.

“It may be the family needs a twin bed, and the provider can request funding for it. However, we may not use funding because someone around the table offers a twin bed that they have at home or they purchase one. Because of our multiple partners, SIT will be able to better leverage dollars.”

“It should be noted this program has been successful in Polk County for the last 20 some years, and they have been instrumental in helping with Santiam SIT,” she said.

Stayton/Sublimity SIT meetings will be held at the same time and place on the second Thursday of each month, with the first slated for 9 a.m. on Sept. 14 at the DHS office at Santiam Center, 11656 Sublimity Road SE, Sublimity.

Something for the Soul

A perfect fit

By Mary Owen A number of Catholic school alumni are once again back in class this September.

“There is much history in these schools,” said Jacki Schmitt Bailey, who graduated from Regis High School in 1997. “It’s encouraging to see that the community remains so active in both their faith and the schools, and is committed to raising and educating strong Catholic leaders who will be successful in life.”

For her part, Bailey is beginning her fourth year at St. Mary Catholic School after teaching for a decade in the public education system. She began by teaching elementary grades at a private Catholic school setting before teaching in public schools, and has now come full circle.

“The faith component was something I was missing in my public school experience,” said Bailey, St. Mary’s vice principal. “I missed being able to talk about God and prayer with my students.”

Originally from Indiana, Dru O’Bryant moved to Stayton with her family when she was 12. She attended St. Mary in 2005-2007 and graduated from Regis in 2011, and now teaches personal finance at Regis and social studies at St. Mary.

“I wasn’t sure what to do after college, so I went to work in the office at Regis,” she said. “I was asked to step in as a substitute for an ill teacher for the second semester of the 2015-2016 school year and discovered I loved teaching!”

O’Bryant enjoys getting to know some of her former teachers in a different capacity and “being able to begin my professional career in a comfortable environment.”

Regis theology teacher Jim Tabor attended St. Mary and Regis from first grade through high school. He is a member of the graduating class of 1983.

After attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., he spent 20 years as an officer, serving most of his career on ships in the Atlantic, Pacific and Caribbean. He retired from the Coast Guard in 2008, and has been living the last nine years in Connecticut.

“During this time, I was involved in parish ministry, completed a master’s degree in theology, and also spent 15 months as a member of a religious community discerning a call to the priesthood,” said Tabor, a widower, father and grandfather.

ourtownlive.com

Looking back to his youth, he said he realizes “how blessed all of us were to be part of such a caring, close-knit, and faith-filled community.

“I hope that I can do my small part for the current students so that they have a similar opinion of their school years when they are my age.”

Tabor’s goal is to help students grow in discipleship, and show them that faith and love for their Savior is rational.

“There isn’t a conflict between the truths of science and the truths of faith,” Tabor said. “The Bible is really the living Word of God, the Holy Spirit is active in their lives, and no matter what mistakes they make, God is always calling them back to His loving embrace.”

His brother, Rich Tabor, also a Regis grad, has taught classes at both St. Mary and Regis over the years. He has coached girls basketball and is the head coach of the cross country team. This year, he will teach personal finance, travel destination geography and Spanish. ““His versatility allows him to serve wherever needed,” said Mike Bauer, Regis counselor.

Sarah Brentano Woodley took on the role of Regis St. Mary advancement director last summer after teaching for 11 years at St. Mary. She attended first through eighth grade at St. Mary and graduated from Regis in 2001.

“Giving back to the community is very important to me,” said the mother of two sons. “Regis and St. Mary have always felt like a second home. Teaching in a Catholic school is an answer to a call, a mission of sorts.”

Woodley loves the sense of community, the legacy that has been built by generations of families sending their children to the schools.

“There is a deep sense of pride and gratitude that comes from working here,” she said.

St. Mary physical education teacher and athletic director, Jon Heuberger, RHS class of 1981, has three children who are all St. Mary and Regis graduates.

“I always wanted to be a part of the Catholic schools here,” he said. “I had good relationships with my teachers and coaches, and wanted to be a part of that.”

A Grin at the End

What ‘fake news’ is

. . . and isn’t

A great deal of confusion has been generated over the past year about the term “fake news.” As a purveyor of a column that could be labeled as such, I will try to clear up any confusion that politicians and others might have.

much as possible about the facts and context of a story.

First, let’s talk about “news.” That’s when a reporter tries his or her best to tell readers, or listeners, what’s going on. It’s really that simple. A reporter will hear about something that might be newsworthy — interesting — and write a news story.

Then the reporter might talk to the property owner and neighbors to find out more context — if a family lived there or if the house was vacant are important facts to determine.

As an example, let’s use a house fire.

Good reporters will follow these steps: go to the scene and report what they see and hear; then check with a primary source such as the fire district. By interviewing the chief or a spokesman, a reporter will be able to get the nuts and bolts of the story — who, what, when, where and possibly how. Often the cause of a fire will remain under investigation, so the reporter will need to check back to see if a cause can be identified.

The reporter will write the first draft of the story and submit it to an editor. He or she will then read it and correct it for grammar, style and double-check facts.

Most importantly, the editor will look for “holes” in the story — key facts that are missing.

Once the editor and reporter are satisfied that the story answers as many questions as possible, it will be published. That’s news — stories that are thoroughly reported and edited to tell readers as

What’s not news is what you see on cable news channels, which I would describe as a goat rope. That’s when two or three — or more — people sit around jawing about stuff, whether they have any direct knowledge about it or not. This is a way to fill time when a network or station is too cheap or lazy to get actual reporters to write actual stories about the events of the day. It is a close relative of talk radio.

These networks will also interview newsmakers representing one side of a story. Still another development is one reporter interviewing another reporter.

What you mainly get is conjecture, not news.

I would not call these “fake news” so much as I would call them “no news.”

Another area that some people confuse with news is opinion. These appear in the form of columns — like this one — in which a single person expresses his or her opinion. He may have some special

insight into an issue — I have been a journalist for more than 40 years — that can help readers understand the context of an issue. Letters to the editor are cousins of columns, except they come from readers.

Editorials also appear on the opinion page of newspapers and are labeled as such. They are written by members of a newspaper’s editorial board, often the publisher and editor of the paper, and are the product of a discussion of a topic, news stories that have been in the paper and interviews with newsmakers involved in an issue. Editorials express the opinion of the editorial board and are meant to cultivate thought and discussion of a particular topic and, hopefully, prod those in power to solve problems.

So “fake news,” “news” and “opinion” are three different things. As an American you can choose what to read, listen to and believe. You just need to know the difference between the three.
