Strange disturbances

‘Ghost Tour’ returns to haunt Downtown Stayton

By Mary Owen Attention all ‘geists and ghouls!

Halloween is just around the corner as is the second annual Stayton Ghost Tour and Chocolate Walk. Sponsored by the Brown House Event Center with Revitalize Downtown Stayton, the event will be held Saturday, Oct. 27, 5 to 8:15 p.m.

“It’s like trick-or-treating for adults,” said Steve Poisson, spokesman for the event.

Poisson expects to double last year’s 80-plus participants at this year’s romp around town, with stops at local shops, all handing out chocolate and sharing “very good” haunting stories.

“Tours begin at the Brown House and groups of eight people are led down High to Third Avenue by costumed guides,” he said. “Feedback from last year was very positive.”

Poisson called the event “lots of fun with interesting stories,” a great way to learn a little of the local history, some factual, some embellished, all very ghoulish.

Ghost Walk participants are led through Downtown Stayton by guides dressed in Victorian garb.

Participating merchants will be open late so that ghost walkers can collect their chocolates while perusing special offers on merchandise.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 1, online only.

Cost is $15 per person for tickets bought Oct. 1-17 and $20 for tickets purchased Oct. 18-25, when sales end.

For more information and ticket sales, visit the Brown House Event Center website at www.brownhouse.org, Facebook, or call 503-769-8860.

Stayton Community Food Bank fulfills demand, addresses growth

By Mary Owen When cupboards are bare and money is scarce, the Stayton Community Food Bank becomes a lifeline.

“We have been active now for more than 35 years, and thanks to strong, on-going community support, more individuals and families than ever are getting help with putting food on the table,” said Sheila Baker, SCFB board member.

Each food box is prepacked with staples such as tuna, chili, pasta, tomato sauce, soup, cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, and is supplemented with eggs, margarine, milk, peanut butter, rice, dry beans, meat, bread, baked goods, fresh or frozen fruits, and vegetables, Baker said.

“We had a $25,000 grant from the MidWillamette Valley United Way that covered July 2015 through June 2017,” she said. “The grant was used to make sure high protein items such as tuna, canned chicken, chili and eggs were always available.”

According to the annual report, SCFB was able to control food purchase costs to $18,200 for this fiscal year, less than the $27,138 spend the last fiscal year.

Other expenses remained stable, so overall expenses totaled $33,975 for the year, compared to $40,295 for the last fiscal year.

The Stayton Community Food Bank served a monthly average of 345 households, representing 1,316 persons.

November was an almost overwhelming month with 384 households and 1,460 persons served, record highs in the food bank’s 30-plus-year history. The numbers showed a 10 percent increase from year to year in the average monthly number of families and a 6 percent increase in the average monthly number of persons, according to the report.

Combined, the 2017-2018 fiscal year again produced record numbers with a total of 3,867 visits, representing 15,204 people, according to SCFB’s annual report.

Overall, the number of households grew by 2.5 percent and the number of people

served increased by 4.6 percent.

“The community is always there for us when we need help,” Baker said.

“The families who come in for food are appreciative of both the food and the friendliness of the volunteers.”

About 51 percent of SCFB’s food comes at no cost from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Food Bank, and Marion-Polk Food Share. About 28 percent comes from the local community through the annual food drive or direct donations of food or cash.

“The annual food drive – supported by the Lions Club, the Stayton Fire District and the Kiwanis – is coming up in November/December,” Baker said. “This is a critical event to keep families fed and our food costs down.”

Last year’s drive garnered just over 17,000 pounds of food, according to Baker, which is “almost 40 percent of the direct food donations we received from the community last year.”

“We are also working toward a new location as our current building is too small and not functional for the number of clients we serve and the amount of food we receive, store and distribute,” Baker said.

“The move will be a big challenge, especially making sure clients are informed.

Also, more space will mean a higher rent payment, so community donations will be more important than ever.”

The Stayton Community Food Bank is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization, serving residents of Stayton, Sublimity, West Stayton, Marion and rural Aumsville.

“We hope the local communities see the good results and continue the support they have shown to the food bank for all these years,” Baker said.

Food-boxing event benefiting starving children needs volunteers

warehouses ready to ship to starving children in Haiti.”

For the second year, MobilePack volunteers will help turn hunger into hope.

The MobilePack project is funded by local businesses and individuals. Several businesses have donated $1,800 for a pallet of food slated to feed 22 children for a year, Fields said.

“We are again partnering with Feed My Starving Children to pack meals of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and nutritionally balanced vitamins and minerals,” said Kelly Fields, Stayton High School business teacher and the local volunteer event coordinator. “FMSC provides the supplies and the community provides the funds and manpower.”

Last year, 1,149 people packed 215,352 meals that fed 590 in Colombia and the Dominican Republic, Fields said.

“Our generous community also donated $44,479 to make it happen,” she added.

COURTESY KELLY FIELDS

Volunteers, age 5 and above, can sign up for two-hour shifts on Oct. 26-27 at Stayton High School. Spots are filling up to help fill the packs, with Regis and Stayton High packing during the school day on Friday. The first community shift will be from 6 to 8 p.m., with 156 spots available that evening. Saturday shifts are 9-11 a.m. with 56 spots available, noon- 2 p.m. with 170 spots available, and 3-6 p.m. with 186 spots available.

Fields started the Stayton project after participating in a MobilePack event in Medford in the fall of 2016 at the invitation of her daughter, Meghan, who works for FMSC. “I was immediately impressed with the idea that our community could do the same,” she said. “Finally in February of 2017, I succumbed to God’s leading and agreed to organize a MobilePack. It was a huge blessing to see the community rise to the occasion by donating both the finances and manpower to make the MobilePack a success.”

“There are also opportunities to help with set-up on Thursday evening and clean-up on Saturday,” Fields said.

“People in the Santiam Canyon love the event! Friends who travel to Haiti on mission trips have seen the food in

Businesses or individuals who have made or committed to pallet donations are: Power Chevrolet, Siegmund Excavation & Construction, Summit Cleaning & Restoration, Tyler and Deana Freres, True Private Wealth Advisors, Larry Etzel, Capital Pawn, Croff Construction, CW Specialty Lumber, Stayton Veterinary Hospital, Stayton Builders Mart, and Doty Pruett Wilson PC. “We need $44,478 to pack 200,000 meals,” Fields said.

“We encourage volunteers to take the team challenge which is to form a team of 15 to 17 people and raise $500 or more to contribute to the MobilePack.”

To donate or volunteer, go to www.give.fmsc.org/ santiamcanyon. Make checks out to FMSC and send with MobilePack #1810-142ME in the memo line to: FMSC, 401 93rd Ave. NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55433.”

RDS welcomes new intern

Mayor, council races on ballot Voters will have a choice for mayor on the ballot Nov. 6 in the cities of Stayton and Aumsville.

Incumbent Hank Porter and Scott Vigil are running in Stayton.

Aumsville voters will choose between Mayor Robert Baugh and Derek Clevenger.

Seven candidates are vying for three four-year city council positions in Aumsville. Incumbents Della Seney, Gabe Clayton and Brian Czarnik are being challenged by Walter Wick, Nico Casarez, Angelica Ceja and Ed Blakesley.

Stayton council candidates for three seats are: incumbent Priscilla Glidewell, Paige Hook, Ralph Lewis, Jordan Ohrt and David Patty.

In Sublimity, Jim Kingsbury is unopposed for mayor and Greg Atkin and Brian Schumacher have filed for

the two council seats.

In Mill City, Tim Kirsch is unopposed as mayor. Janet Hall, Tony Trout and Steve Winn have filed for the three council positions.

In Lyons, Lloyd Valentine is unopposed for mayor. Jessica Richie, currently mayor pro-tem, is seeking another term on the council.

Detroit has no mayoral race this time. Greg Sheppard, John Manthe and Shelley Engle are running to retain council seats. Councilor Ken Woodward, who filled an open seat in January, is also on the ballot.

The city of Gates has mayor and two city council positions open, but no contestants.

Candidate stories for contested races will be in the November Our Town.

Emily Connor is the newest RARE AmeriCorps participant working with Revitalize Downtown Stayton.

Connor will continue to develop relationships with merchants in the RDS focus area and in the city at large, Poisson added.

A 2012 graduate of the University of Arizona, Connor replaces Isaac KortMeade, RDS’s first RARE (Resources for Rural Environments) participant. KortMeade moved on at the end of July.

“The RARE program was started at the University of Oregon and is now nationally recognized,” said Steve Poisson with RDS. “Participants come from all over the country and serve for 11-month terms in Oregon cities. Both cities and participants must complete a lengthy application process and interview each other to find the best fits.”

Connor began her internship Sept. 10 and will serve RDS through July 31, 2019.

“Her focus will be on building our organization capacity and sustainability by developing our volunteer base and our financial support,” Poisson said. “She will also develop reusable systems to manage

Connor’s office will be located at the Brown House Event Center, and she will also be contracted to the Santiam Heritage Foundation to help complete a feasibility study on the Brown House.

RDS is seeking more volunteers, for an hour at a time or for longer term work, Poisson said.

RARE is administered through the U of O’s Institute for Police Research and Engagement, an interdisciplinary institute that assists Oregon communities by providing planning and technical assistance to help solve local issues and improve the quality of life for Oregon residents. More than 450 RARE AmeriCorps members have been placed throughout rural Oregon.

Business

AC Foods, Freres honored Two local companies and Marion County were among the five honorees at the September SEDCOR awards luncheon.

The lead economic development agency for Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties, SEDCOR annually celebrates the achievements of businesses and community leaders.

AC Foods / Silver Mountain of Sublimity received the Agri-Business of the Year award for its vision and investment in its blueberry processing plant. The company was cited for is its “demonstrated excellence in agri-business” and supporting and maintaining a significant role in the future of agriculture in the local economy.

Freres Lumber Co. was honored as Manufacturer of the Year. The company’s new mass plywood panel was featured on screen during the luncheon. The award recognizes “an outstanding manufacturer that is making world-class products, creating job opportunities and strengthening communities.”

Marion County was named Business Partner of the Year for exemplifying “the

best qualities of corporate citizenship by contributing significantly to the community and to the successful operation of SEDCOR programs.”

The Community Service Award was given to Ticor Title. The Innovative Product award went to Red Barn Hemp out of Woodburn.

“Every year, I am impressed by the innovation and dedication of the businesses who receive an award,” SEDCOR Board Chair Mark Hoyt said. “What is so remarkable this year is how each of the businesses took a risk from creating a new product to venturing into uncharted territory to make their company stronger to meet changing markets.”

More than 350 SEDCOR members, civic and government officials attended the event at the Salem Convention Center.

According to SEDCOR’s 2017-18 annual report, the organization has played a role in bringing more than $151 million of new investment to the region this past year which represented 697 new or retained jobs.

Cougars survive

Cascade claims football rivalry win vs. Stayton

The Stayton-Cascade rivalry fooyball game lived up to its history Sept. 21 at Federico Field in Turner.

The Eagles and Cougars battled tooth and nail for four quarters, with Cascade taking a 31-28 victory in the Special District 3 opener for both schools.

Cascade battered away using its power running game, with the “thunder and lightning” tandem of Ethan Coffey (176 yards, one TD) and Joe Baxter (124 yards, one TD. Stayton, meanwhile, relied on the passing and running of Ben Rash, who threw for 270 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for an additional 97 yards.

But amid all of the offensive fireworks it was turnovers that told the tale. Stayton turned it over four times, enabling Cascade to rally from a 21-10 deficit.

“That was a pretty good high school football game,” Eagles coach Randy Nyquist told Our Town. “But when you are playing against a good team like that you have to take better care of the ball.

We just had too many turnovers.”

“That was a fantastic team performance,” said Cascade coach Brandon Bennett.

“Our offense and our defense finally came together on the same night.”

Also playing a key role for the Cougars was freshman QB Jacob Hage, who rushed for 42 yards and a pair of TDs, including a perfectly executed 16-yard naked bootleg that gave Cascade the lead for good in the third period.

Both teams are 1-3 overall heading into the teeth of the league season. Only the top two teams in the district are guaranteed a Class 4A playoff spot, with four at-large berths up for grabs among the six leagues.

Soccer: New Stayton girls coach Devin Holmes has the Eagles undefeated in Oregon West play and ranked No. 6 in Class 4A. Stayton’s only loss was a 1-0 defeat at Gladstone on Aug. 28. The Eagles are 6-0 in league play, one game ahead of 5-1 Philomath. Stayton downed the Warriors 3-2 on Sept. 4, and the two teams faced off again on Sept. 27 after Our Town’s presstime.

Doucette was eighth and Sophia Casarez was 10th for the Eagles in the JV girls competition.

The perennial state title contending Stayton boys team, meanwhile, is 5-1 in league play and ranked No. 5 in Class 4A. The Eagles’ lone loss was a 5-1 defeat at No. 3 Woodburn, which moved down from Class 5A this season. Stayton has outscored opponents 44-6 in building a 6-1 overall mark. Woodburn is 6-0 in the Oregon West and visits Stayton for the rematch on Oct. 10.

Regis, meanwhile, won the novice boys division of the Silver Falls Oktoberfest Invitational held Sept. 12 at Silver Falls State Park. Landson Taylor of the Rams took first place, with teammate Colton Baughman fifth.

Cross country: Stayton ran well in its annual invitational meet held Sept. 19 at the Stayton Middle School trails. The Eagles won the varsity girls competition and took second in the boys.

Hailey Notman took second, Skyla Anderson finished fourth and Bridget Spencer sixth for the Eagles girls, who bested runner-up Kennedy by 10 points.

Takisha Kendall was 20th for Santiam.

Woodburn won the varsity boys competition, led by champion Giovanni Bravo. Stayton’s Matthew Frazeur and Ken Kirby were second and third behind Bravo, with Trey Thomas of Santiam 16th and teammate Isaac Turner 17th.

Stayton also finished second in the junior varsity boys race, led by ninthplace finisher Sterling Fulks. Corrina

In the middle school runs Stayton was second in the girls team race behind LaCreole of Dallas. Hope Bridge was fifth and Elizabeth Young ninth for the Eagles. The Stayton Middle School boys were fifth, led by Gavin Berning (13th).

Santiam’s Thomas and Turner both ran well again in the varsity boys race, finishing 32nd and 44th, respectively, in a large field of 139 runners.

Volleyball: Stayton is 3-3 in Oregon West play and 6-6 overall. Cascade, meanwhile, is 2-4 in league and 2-8 overall. The squads are fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Oregon West and likely would need to rise to third place to have a shot at one of the at-large playoff berths in Class 4A. The top two teams in each of the six 4A leagues qualify automatically.

Santiam, meanwhile, is fifth at 3-5 in the Tri-River and 6-7 overall, and Regis is fourth at 4-3 and 8-4 overall in the Central Valley Conference. Like Stayton and Cascade the Wolverines and Rams need to make up some ground to grab a playoff spot in Class 2A.

But, boy howdy, did I love that music. Name a singer or band from the ‘60s and I was a fan. Every weekend I’d round up a batch of friends to go to a concert.

Hendrix, Joplin, Allman Brothers… You get the idea.

I’ve spent a lot of time reading and writing, trying to make sense of this world we live in. But it’s the music of the ‘60s that has given me the most insight, and pleasure.

I can’t sing, and I can’t play a musical instrument.

Those facts didn’t stop me from being in rock bands in the 1960s. We’d get together and make noise – lots of it – and we made good money playing at dances and parties.
