Suit accuses church of turning deaf ear to child
By TOM HENDERSON
Of the News-Register
A 6-year-old girl reportedly turned to people at her
church for help after she was
sexually assaulted by her
father. But a lawsuit filed
May 23 against McMinnville’s Nazarene Church
on the Hill contends they
ignored her.
The accused molester, who
allegedly transmitted herpes
to his daughter as a result of
his assaults, vanished before
the allegations were brought
to light.
“No criminal charges
were ever brought, and he
disappeared,” said Randall
Vogt, the Portland attorney
representing the plaintiffs.
“We have no notion of where
he is.”
The plaintiffs in the $5.2
million lawsuit, filed in
Multnomah County Circuit
Court in Portland, are the
girl, now 12, and her mother
(now living in Coos County).
During her years in kindergarten through third
grade, the suit alleges, she
told teachers, aides, counselors and clergy at the church
that her biological father
had molested her. It goes on
to assert, “All of these per-
sons who became aware of
this fact were acting within
the scope of their agency at
the time they received this
knowledge.”
Vogt said that made church
employees mandatory reporters of child abuse under
Oregon law. Nonetheless,
he said, none of the allegations that began in 2010
were brought to the attention of even the gir’s mother
and stepfather, let alone legal
authorities.
The girl’s mother and
stepfather are both licensed
mental health professionals. Both were working at
the church, at 700 N.W. Hill
St., at the time, her mother
as a mental health practitioner and her stepfather as an
assistant pastor.
“Both of them were physically at the church and
co-mingling with the people
who knew about this,” Vogt
said.
The girl chose not to tell
her parents directly, he said.
“She wanted to protect her
father, who she still had feelings for,” Vogt added. “Kids’
behavior is not always rational. Kids are unpredictable

A McMinnville man
termed “alcohol-dependent” in Marion County
court records has been convicted of driving under the
influence of intoxicants for
the 10th time.
John Charles Mickler, 58,

County Circuit Court to
one count each of driving
while suspended, a Class B
felony, and DUII, a Class A
misdemeanor.
Judge Cynthia Easterday sentenced him to 22
months in prison, followed
by 24 months under postprison supervision. She
also ordered him to per-

manently forfeit his driving
privileges, complete substance abuse treatment and

DAYTON – A community celebration Thursday in
Dayton opened a dramatic
expansion of technological
resources for students and
teachers of Dayton School
District.Designated “Innovate Dayton,” the program
is a partnership of Dayton schools, the statewide
Innovate Oregon program
and
McMinnville-based
OnlineNW, the area’s largest
locally-owned internet service provider.
At the core of initial development is a lightning-fast
10-gigabit internet service,
which is exponentially faster
than any currently available
in the region. Dayton schools
entered into a partnership
with OnlineNW last year to
dramatically expand technological resources for students
and teachers, and an array of
local businesses also joined.
Ever since, crews have
been digging trenches and
laying fiber optic cable
around the rural community.
OnlineNW now has fiber running directly to local school
doors, though the schools
still need to take the next

step in the project, upgrading their internal computer
infrastructure, to take full
advantage.OnlineNW and
school officials speak of the
project in sweeping terms,
portraying it as a significant
step in laying the technological groundwork to enable
Yamhill County to become
a viable member of the new
global economy.
“The work that we are
doing in Dayton is actually tied to a very long-term
strategy of economic transformation for the entire
county,” said Thompson
Morrison, OnlineNW’s business development director.
“What we really care
about is Yamhill County,” he
said in an interview prior to
Thursday’s official launch,
which came after the NewsRegister’s Friday edition
deadline. “How do we create
an environment and infrastructure that allows for the
talent that allows for economic development”?
Thompson said the buildout will give rural Dayton
“the fastest Internet on the
West Coast.” And as far as
residential service goes, that
doesn’t appear to represent
any hyperbole.

Applicant Larry Brock
proposes to open a new marijuana dispsary along with
a tobacco and wine shop at
4270 N.E. Blanchard Lane,
just off Highway 99W.
He is asking the zone
be extended to marijuana
dispensing under a “similar uses” theory. If granted
on that basis, the decision
would set a precedent for
future applications in the
county’s HC zone.
“Being distracted, by talking on the phone or anything
else, really increases your
odds of harming yourself

that increases the odds of an

Richard Dana Jewell went to live with the Lord on May
15, 2016. The son of Richard E. and Shirley Jewell, both
deceased, Richard spent most of his life in Lafayette, Oregon, where he attended school, served on the city council
and even ran for mayor! For many years, Richard traveled
the Western states working for Redman Homes. Richard was
amazing, with his abilities to fix anything, especially in the
automotive department. He loved classic cars: Chevelles were
a favorite along with Studebakers. There wasn’t an engine he
couldn’t get started. Eventually, he passed his knowledge to
his nephews, Mike Brooks and Robbin Shearer, who were
very special to him. They spent many hours together working
on projects. Richard was a favorite uncle to many. He could
be gruff at times, but underneath that tough exterior, he had
a kind and tender heart. He unselfishly helped many people
over the years, giving of his time and energy with his careDonald Lee Hosley

In Brief
Fiesta nets $19,000
for immigrant services
Lutheran Community
Services’
McMinnville
office brought in $19,722
during Fiesta en la Plaza,
its annual fundraising event.
That put the nonprofit service agency just shy of its
$20,000 goal.
Funds raised through the
event benefit the agency’s
immigration services
Jordan Robinson, who
heads the McMinnville
office, said Lutheran Community Services doesn’t
help people obtain legal
rights. Rather, he said, it
helps them exercise and
defend rights they already
have.
Among other services,
it helps immigrants obtain
green cards, family visas
and employment authorization. It also helps them
prepare for citizenship tests.
Kira Barsotti, who organized the fundraiser at the
McMinnville Grand Ballroom, said this year’s fiesta
was the most successful in
the event’s six-year history.

down from 4.4 percent in
March. The improvement
was driven by strong growth
in the construction, professional services and retail
sectors.
The jobless rate statewide
remained unchanged at 4.5
percent, remarkably low in
its own right.
Officials said the county’s
employment gains in April
were slightly above normal,
running about 300, compared to a projected 280.
They said total employment
was up 3.2 percent from its
pre-recession peak of August
2007 — a strong indicator of
economic health.
Professional and business
services led the way in April,
adding 80 jobs. Retail trade
posted a gain of 60 jobs,

hospitality sector also added
30 jobs, an indicator that

State revokes Burke’s teaching license
The News-Register staff
96.
SALEM — Oregon’s
Teacher Standards and
Practices Commission has
revoked the educational
licensing of Sean Burke,
former assistant principal
principal at McMinnville
High School.
Burke, a popular and
respected educator, was
serving as interim principal for the 2015-16 school
year when he resigned
abruptly in December. His
resignation came just after
allegations that he initiated
a relationship with a student more than 20 years
earlier, which triggered a
criminal investigation by
McMinnville police.
A woman in her 30s contacted police in her home
town, alleging she and
Burke had a romantic relationship when she was a
Mac High student and he
was a new teacher in 1995-
While admitting he
“crossed boundaries,” he
denied a sexual component.
However, the woman produced a letter from Burke
and photos of the two of
them in a motel room.
Following the police investigation, which determined
the statute of limitations had
expired, the educator licensing commission launched its
own inquiry. According to a
stipulation of facts and final
order of surrender and revocation of licensure, posted on
the commission’s website,
Burke and the commission
agree that revocation would
best serve “their respective
interests, together with the
public interest.”
According to the posting, the commission found
“gross neglect of duty” in
the case. It said Burke violated standards by failing
to display “professional
judgment,” “exploiting professional
relationships
with any student for personal gain,” displaying or
expressing “professionally
inappropriate interest in
a student’s personal life,”
“exchanging romantic or
overly personal gifts or
notes,” failing to honor
“appropriate adult boundaries with students,” failing
to “maintain the dignity of
the profession” and initiating “sexual conduct with a
student.”

objections from the rank
and file. Chief Rich Leipfert proposed the reduction in his
budget for the 2016-17
fiscal year. The battalion
chief, who currently rides
on the engine, would head
to the scene separately in
another vehicle.
Leipfert said the change
meets current industry standards. However, the union
objects, saying fewer firefighters on an engine would
create more work for the
remaining crew and thus
reduce its effectiveness. The city council was
brief on the proposal Tuesday. Members promised to
take both pro and con arguments into consideration
when it reviews the budget
prior to approval.

Budget panel OKs school spending plan
By STARLA POINTER
McMinnville’s school budget committee unanimously
approved a spending plan
for the 2016-17 school year
Wednesday. It’s centerpiece
is a $71.3 million general
fund budget.
The proposed budget will
go to the school board for
final approval Monday, June
27. A public hearing is set
for 7 that evening at the district office, 1500 N.E. Baker
St.
The proposal will add
several teachers in order to
maintain class size reductions from recent years. It
keeps current programs as
well.
At the elementary level,
the proposed 2016-17 budget will add six teachers
in order to keep class size
averages at 23.5 students
per teacher. It also includes
provides several teachers on
special assignment to work
with struggling students; six
sessions of preschool, half
funded by federal Title 1 dollars; and a second year of
full-day kindergarten, with
an average class size of 20
students.
Newby Principal Dave
Carlson said full-day kindergarten is having a
“humongous” impact on the
district’s youngest students.
They are making tremendous
progress.
“It will change the way
we do first-grade instruction,
too,” he said.
At the middle level, the
proposal maintains class size
averages at 27.5 students,
“a good ratio at the middle
level,” according to Duniway
Principal Cathy Carnahan. It
also adds a half-time dean
of students at Duniway, mirroring Patton, where the
position has been helpful
in improving behavior, she
said.
In addition, the proposal
adds an intervention support
teacher at each of the middle
schools to work with students struggling with poor
academics and poor behavior. The two often are linked,
Carnahan said, and when one
improves, so does the other. At McMinnville High
School, the proposal adds
the equivalent of three fulltime positions in order to
maintain class size averages
at 28.1. One new teacher
will be added in the health
services career pathway and
another for science, technology, engineering and math
classes on the main campus
and at the Engineering and
Aerospaces Sciences Acad-
emy. The remaining added
time will be split between
math, science, social studies
and language arts.
It also adds one teacher
and $35,000 to support the
AVID program, which helps
students get on track for college. In addition, Principal
Kris Olsen said, the proposal
includes money for extra
duty support for extracurricular activities, including
Unified Sports soccer and
basketball, and soccer, wrestling and golf.
Districtwide, the proposed
budget will add two psychologists, include the nursing
staff by half a position and
add another campus safety
supervisor, among other
additions, said Susan Escure,
finance director.

anything but.
Hamilton served as a
private contractor in Afghanistan. He was riding behind
his friends in a Humvee
when their vehicle struck an
improvised Afghan mine featuring a mix of diesel fuel
and fertilizer.
“Doc, Shawn, Rick, Collin, Bob,” he said, reciting
their names. “I want people to really appreciate the
wall.
“It represents a lot of
good people who went
where they shouldn’t have
but needed to. It represents
a lot of broken families,
too.”
The traveling wall serves
a variety of purposes,
including providing closure
and healing to survivors. It
also acts as a memorial and
educational vehicle.
Dave Perry has been volunteering with Vets Helping
Vets HQ for three years. He
said he can feel the “healing begin to take place” as
visitors grieve.
Perry detects an element
of survivor’s guilt in a lot
of visitors.
As a veteran of two years
of active duty himself in the
late ‘60s, he can empathize.
It fell to him to process
classified documents, and
they included daily body
counts.
“We served where they
sent us,” he said. “There’s a
special brotherhood whether you went through combat
or did administrative work.”

Rachel Bridges and prosecutor Kate Lynch.
During the last 35 years,
Mickler has racked up six
DUII convictions in Multnomah County and one each
in Clackamas, Lincoln, Marion and Yamhill counties.
In response to past convictions, he has been sent to
prison twice and his license
was permanently revoked.
However, his record suggests
that hasn’t deterred him from
continuing to drink, drive
and mix the two.
Lynch listed the following cases: 1983, Lincoln

He lifts his leather vest to
display a patch that reads,
“All gave some, some gave
all.”
Tom McKinley’s son,
Eric, gave more than most.
He gave his life.
Eric finished his commitment to the National
Guard in early April of
2004, and was deployed
within weeks. He died in
June in the same fashion as
Hamilton’s friends.
“Eric told us that even if
they would let him leave, he
would still stay,” McKinley
said. “That’s how close he
was with the men he knew.”
Tom’s wife, Jennifer,
recalls well the delegation coming to the door to
inform them of Eric’s death.
“It was a Sunday,” she said.
Tom elaborated, saying,
“I was cooking salmon
when they came to the door.
Jennifer pleaded that they
had the wrong home. The
experience brought more
awareness of the sacrifice
military families give.”
The new understanding
led Tom and Jennifer to
found an Oregon chapter
of Tribute to the Troops, an
organization whose mission
is to “preserve the memory
of those men and women of
our nation’s military who
lost their lives while bravely protecting our freedom.”
The organization stages
motorcycle parades to the
homes of affected families
and presents them with
commemorative plaques.
It also helps the sons and
daughters of the fallen with
college funds.
“Starting the chapter
helped me more efficiently
grieve the loss,” Tom said.
“We want the families to
know their sacrifice has not
been forgotten.”

“We want people to know
that so many lives are being
lost even though our country is not in a declared state

is that Memorial Day has

McMinnville police officer
Steve Macartney gave this
account of the most recent
incident in a probable cause
affidavit:
About 8 p.m. Saturday, April 2, the driver of
a Chrysler Sebring, later
identified as Mickler, was
reported to be swerving, and
engaging in illegal backing
maneuvers near Southwest
Baker Street’s Keck Drive
intersection.
A 911 caller followed the
Sebring as it meandered
along Keck, then turned
onto Linfield Avenue, nearly
causing a crash. The caller continued following the
vehicle as it made its way
along Linfield, Davis Street,
College Avenue and Ford
Street.
In the 900 block of Southeast Ford, the driver tried to
maneuver into an on-street
parking spot, appearing to
strike another vehicle in the
process.
When Macartney arrived,
he found Mickler sitting in
the car with his keys in his
lap and a can of beer in the
center console beside him.
He said Mickler was displaying such extreme impairment
he called medics to the scene.
Capt. Dennis Marks said
this was the first contact
McMinnville police ever had
with Mickler. He said they
cited him for refusal to take
a breath test and open container as well as DUII.
Marks said Mickler had
been out on the highway
previously, as he had been
caught on Amity Market’s
surveillance video about an
hour earlier.

Tribal event features Purple Heart recipient
GRAND RONDE —
Army Sgt. Joel Dulashanti,
a Purple Heart recipient, will
be the keynote speaker at
the 14th annual West Valley
Veterans Memorial Day ceremony, slated for Monday on
The Confederated Tribes of
Grand Ronde grounds.
A meal will be served at
noon at the Tribal Community Center. The ceremony
will follow at 1 p.m., with
15-year-old J.C. Rogers, a
tribal member, singing the
National Anthem.
Eleven individuals will be
honored. Their names will
be added to the memorial,
bringing the total on its black
granite pillars to 2,325.
They are: Air Force, Barry
Ford and Glen A. Larson; Army, Larry R. Baker,
Marshall F. Dunkin, Donald
C. Hayes, Leslie L. Larson
and Irvan G. Williamson;
Navy, William M. Drake,
Larry M. Godsey, Clyde
D. Van Atta and Albert D.
Miller.
The honor is normally
reserved for veterans from
Grand Ronde, Sheridan
and Willamina, regardless
of service branch or tribal
status. It was extended to
the 81-year-old Miller, who
lives in Silverton, because he
serves on the Tribal Veterans
Special Event Board and has
repeatedly volunteered with
the Veterans’ Color Guard
in Grand Ronde and other
locales around the state.
“We have made exceptions for people that have
gone over and above to help
us out,” said tribal member
Steve Bobb, a veteran of
the U.S. Marines. “He’s one
of our guys who shows up
every time regardless, comes
out to all of the meetings,
always shows up ready to go
and stays all day.”
Dulashanti was an Army
sniper with the 82nd Airborne. He lost a leg in battle
in Afghanistan in 2007, taking four shots from an
AK-47 at close range during
an ambush.
His right leg was amputated above the knee. He
spent two years recovering at
Walter Reed Army Medical
Center in Washington, D.C.
Then 22, he received a
Purple Heart from President
George W. Bush in 2008.
The Purple Heart is awarded to soldiers wounded as a
direct result of enemy action.
Dulashanti, who is married and has a daughter,
has traveled throughout the
Pacific Northwest on behalf
of the Military Order of the
Purple Heart organization’s
Portland chapter. Its mission
is to foster an environment
of goodwill among combatwounded veterans and their
families, to promote patriotism, to support legislative
initiatives and to make sure
Americans never forget their
sacrifices.
Bobb said commemorations of bravery are important
to the community. “I think
anytime you can honor veterans it brings out people’s
patriotic feelings for sure,”
he said.

newspaper, Smoke Signals,

Sheridan board approves Nike uniform agreement
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan School District will
follow the lead of other districts, including neighboring
Willamina, in accepting an
offer from Nike to outfit varsity teams.
High School Principal
Dean Rech outlined parameters of the agreement for
the school board, which
approved a request on behalf
of Athletic Director Bob
Bennett to sign off on an
agreement with the Beaverton-based clothing and shoe
manufacturer.
Abuse

and ... kids.”
Jeff Cox, business administrator at Church on the
Hill, said he has been taking calls from reporters
since the lawsuit was filed,
but there’s nothing he can
say about the case. “We are
unable to comment on any
pending litigation,” he said.
Cox said not being able
to reassure parishioners and
the community is emotionally stressful.
“It is really difficult,” he
said. “We may end up later
having something from the
church council, but that’s
all we can say right now.
We want to be polite and
above-board in our communication about this, but
that’s all we have at the
moment.”
According to the suit,
the girl’s biological parents
divorced in 2006. Although
her father’s parental rights
were terminated at the time,
he was still allowed extensive unsupervised visits,
including some overnight
visits, in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
The abuse allegedly continued for two years.
“As a parishioner, plaintiff had frequent and regular
contact and professional
interactions with various
teachers, teachers’ aides,
counselors and clergymen
at the Church on the Hill,”
the court documents state.
“During those contacts,
plaintiff revealed to various
Church on the Hill employees and agents that she had
been subjected to sexual
intercourse.”
Vogt said the girl later
made several attempts to
kill herself and ended up
being hospitalized for a
period in 2011. He said
those events came as a
direct result of being sexually assaulted.
“Licensed clergymen,
licensed mental health
counselors and licensed
teachers and teachers’
aides have a professional
duty to take complaints of
child sex abuse seriously,
to handle such complaints
in a professional manner
and to report a child’s complaint of sexual abuse to
appropriate governmental authorities and to the
child’s custodial parent,” he
stated in the suit.
Russell Mark, executive
director of Juliette’s House,
a McMinnville-based nonprofit dedicated to fighting
child abuse, said he cannot
speculate on any particular
aspects of the case against
the church.
However, he said everyone should take a broad
view of what constitutes a
“mandatory reporter” when
there is even the slightest
reason to suspect a child is
being abused. “My personal
take is that any adult working with children should go
through mandatory report-
“It’s hard to turn down
$7,500 a year for your program,” said Superintendent
Steve Sugg. “It’s hard to say
no. Nike’s thing is they’re
trying to give back to communities.”
The agreement will run
from June 1, 2016, to July
31, 2021. It will cover baseball, football and softball, in
addition to boys’ and girls’
basketball, cross country,
soccer, tennis and track and
field.
Nike does not produce a
line of wrestling attire, so
wrestling is excluded.
The district will receive
$7,500 each year for the cost
of the uniforms. It will qualify for a 45 percent discount
on any expense beyond that.
The agreement includes a
40 percent discount for footwear. And Nike is extending
that to individual athletes,
the student store and all
organizations associated
with the school, including
youth organizations.
In other business, Faulconer-Chapman Principal
David Kline followed up
on an April board report in
which he outlined progress
on the part of the school’s
Community Committee,
which has been discussing
ways to reduce the number of student referrals for
fighting and aggression. He
said it has held three meetings under the direction of
Associate Principal Ryan
Sticka so far this year.
ing training,” he said.
Juliette’s House officials
are working on curriculum
aimed at teaching adults
how to spot the signs of
child abuse and familiarize
them with the process for
reporting. It’s a major priority for him, he said, noting,
“I’ve been pushing this pretty fast and furiously.”
Mark said there are many
reasons why adults may not
follow up on suspicions of
child abuse. But he said reasons don’t qualify as excuses.
“I think it’s for fear of
interfering in a situation
where they were uncertain
what might be happening,”
Mark said. “They may not
want to create undue stress
in the family.
“The philosophy behind
mandatory reporting is, you
don’t have to believe the
child... Whether you believe
the child or not, you should
believe there’s a kernel of
truth and turn the matter over
to people who can judge the
facts.”
This is not the first time
the Nazarene denomination
has faced a child abuse scandal.
In the early 2000s, children’s
minister
Ryan
Wonderly of the Bethany
First Church of the Nazarene in Oklahoma City was
accused of molesting five
girls ages 4 to 12. Following an investigation, he was
tried, convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Court records show that
church’s lead pastor at the
time was aware of Wonderly’s crimes, but did nothing
more than place the perpetrator on probation. That led to
a civil suit, not settled until
2010.
As a result of the settlement, Nazarene leaders
agreed, among other things,
to:
n Adopt and enforce a
zero-tolerance policy for
sexual misconduct involving
children.
n Document in writing any
allegations or suspicions of
abuse and report those allegations to the local church
board, senior pastor, district
superintendent and national
board of general superintendents, in addition to local law
enforcement agencies.
n Set up a special committee on the prevention of
sexual misconduct and protection of children in the
church and enlist the service
of experts to develop educational materials.
n Establish a director for
the prevention of sexual misconduct to administer and
enforce policies and oversee
training.
n Have line items in the
budget allocating money to
child sexual abuse education
and prevention, and providing scholarships for victims
of childhood physical and
sexual violence or students
pursuing studies in child
advocacy.
Vogt said the local church
violated those agreements,
and is therefore guilty of
breach of contract. In the
suit, he also accuses the
church of professional negligence, intentional infliction
of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional
distress and negligence under
Oregon law.
Not all church employees are mandatory reporters
under the law, Vogt noted.
“A lot of professionals who
work for a church are mandatory reporters, but the
lower-level employees are
not,” he said.
The suit seeks $5 million
in non-economic damages,
$200,000 in economic damages, court costs, attorney
fees and triple damages
under the Vulnerable Persons
Act.
Kline told the board one
of the aims is to foster home
intervention early on. He
said home environment can
play a significant role.
The board will meet next
at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June
15. But he said, “In this case,
information went up the
ladder.” He said that should
have triggered reporting
“that didn’t happen in this
case.” call Frank at 971-237-6980

Commissioners approve garbage rate increase
By NICOLE MONTESANO
Garbage collection rates
and landfill tipping fees will
increase slightly July 1, after
the Yamhill County commissioners approved rate
proposals Thursday from
Recology Western Oregon,
the Newberg Transfer Station, Waste Management
Newberg Hauling and Riverbend Landfill.
Following the recommendation of the county’s Solid
Waste Advisory Committee,
commissioners unanimously
approved:
n A 0.5 percent CPI
increase for Recology, adding 17 cents a month to the
cost of the most common
service, weekly pickup of a
90-gallon container.
n A 2.24 percent CPI
increase for the landfill, plus
a 58 cent pass-through charge
from the state Department of
Environmental Quality. For
small loads, that will add
$1.35, pushing the dropoff
fee to $15.10.
n The same DEQ passthrough charge for the
Newberg Transfer Station,
which will increase charges
there 10 cents per cubic yard.
n A 3.68 percent CPI
increase for Waste Management Newberg, increasing
the cost for weekly pickup
of a 64-gallon container $1,
pushing the monthly cost to
$28.42.
Solid Waste Coordinator
Sherrie Mathison told commissioners a larger increase
was justified in Newberg,
because it is costing the
company more to haul garbage than it is collecting
fees.
Commissioner
Allen
Springer asked how the
company dropped below
the level of profitability in
a year when fuel costs were
sharply down. Mathison
said it took a huge revenue
loss when SP Newsprint
closed its mill.
Commissioners

Seven people have died on
Yamhill County roads this
year, and local law enforcement agencies will be doing
their best to see the Memorial
Day weekend doesn’t add to
that total.
The Yamhill County
Sheriff’s Office stepped up
patrols today and plans to
continue enhancing its patrol
presence through Monday. A
High Visibility Enforcement
Grant funded by the Oregon
Department of Transportation
is covering the cost.
According to AAA Oregon/
Idaho, more than 38 million
Americans are expected to
hit the road this Memorial
Day weekend. That would be
the second highest total on
record, trailing only 2005.
If the case proceeds to the
Oregon Court of Appeals, the
parties will have to revisit the
participation and payment
issues. Several other counties, mostly in Eastern
Oregon, also are joining the
lawsuit.

the the range of public and
private players and rapid
evolution. But ramping Dayton’s broadband up to 10
gigabits would put that tiny
community among a only a
handful around the country
enjoying such a supersonic
speed.
In Oregon, only three cities
currently enjoy even 1-gig
service — Canby, Sandy and
Monmouth-Independence.
According to Community
Broadband Networks, the
trio are among 50 communities in 19 states currently at
the gigabit benchmark. Portland is hoping to join them
soon, but isn’t there yet.
Santa Monica boasts
10-gig service on the Southern California coast, but it is
largely limited to commercial rather than residential
use. In Dayton, the plan is
to make the service available
throughout the community.
The first city in the country to reach that goal was
Salisbury, North Carolina, a
community of 33,000. The
new service was unveiled
there last fall.
Technology
journalist
Andrew Blum told Wired
magazine, “Nnything beyond
100 megabits can be understood as a publicity stunt.”
But, he added, “A good one.”
Morrison, who serves as
an “innovation evangelist”
for the advocacy group Innovate Oregon, which is deeply
involved in the Dayton
schools project, understands
that perspective. “Frankly, we’re overengineering this,” he said.
“Does anyone need 10-gigabit today? No. We know that.
“The point isn’t, does Dayton need 10-gigabits? The
point is, what happens when
a small town in rural Yamhill
County has the fastest Internet on the West Coast?”
He straightens up, like a
squirrel disturbed by a sudden sound, his eyes darting
across the horizon. “Everybody goes, ‘How’d that
happen?’”
It’s happening, in part, due
to what OnlineNW calls a
“first-of-its-kind” revenuesharing plan with the district,
approved in November.
Depending on the number of
Dayton residents who subscribe to the new network,
the company will commit up
to 15 percent of the revenue
to an innovation fund at the
school.
Morrison’s experience in
technological innovation
goes back years.
In 1998, after serving
as the Asia Pacific regional consulting director for
Dataquest, he teamed with
a friend to found the tech
firm FUSE Insight. A few
years ago, he joined in urging Oregon lawmakers to
create the STEM Investment
Council to advance science,
technology, engineering and

math education in the public
schools.
A magna cum laude graduate of Yale, Morrison notes
the United States lags globally in terms of technology.
In fact, it currently ranks
only 18th for internet speed.
South Korea ranks first,
followed by Sweden, Norway and Japan, according to
a quarterly survey by Akamai
Technologies of Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
Last year, OnlineNW started working with the Dayton
School District as part of an
initiative launched by Innovate Oregon — a coalition
created by the Stoller Group,
which includes Express
Employment Professionals,
Xenium HR and the Stoller
Family Estate winery.
Stoller, the founder of
Stoller Winery and Express
Employment, is a Dayton
native. In recent years, he’s
bought more than 70,000
square-feet of property in the
downtown core with an eye
to commercial revitalization.
Innovate Oregon is partnering with schools, the
Oregon Business Council
and the Technology Foundation of Oregon to “ignite and
amplify a culture of creative
problem solving,” with an
eye on training a new generation of “innovators.”
As OnlineNW worked to
boost technological offerings
in the Dayton school system,
Morrison said, it came to
realize the district struggles
to provide video-based curriculum, considered the wave
of the future.
“In a school where you
have 30 students in a single classroom and they’re
all streaming at the same
time, you can imagine what
happens,” Morrison said.
“This is where the school
began to really recognize
that it needed to reimagine
its technology infrastructure
to support the new learning
models.”
Last summer, OnlineNW’s
CEO, Kathy Tate, started
wondering if it would be possible to expand its fledgling
school district fiber project
to the entire community in
one bold stroke. She knew
that doing so in McMinnville, where Frontier and
Comcast aren’t yet offering
gigabit service, but already
have extensive networks of
fiber laid, would be a cost
too much and carry too much
commercial risk.
“We’re not spending our
money here to overbuild a
network that someone else
built,” Tate said. “It just
doesn’t make sense for us to
do that.
“It’s very expensive to
build, so you have to make
sure that if you build it, you
get a pretty good percentage
of subscribers. If there are a
lot of other competitors, you
can spend all that money and
never create a good business
model. That’s one of the reasons OnlineNW looked at
another small town.”
The 10-gigabit level has
been possible for at least
a decade, Tate said. It just
hasn’t been financially feasible.
In recent times, she said,
“The products have scaled,
the prices have come down
and the technology has
improved. We’re going to
build 10-gigabit in Dayton
because now we can.”
The project was unveiled
Thursday afternoon in Dayton under the banner of
Innovate Dayton.
On the education front, a
crucial component will come
to fruition this summer,
when construction starts on a
new “i3” center, standing for
inspiration, innnovation and
invention. More information
about the program may be
obtained by visiting www.
innovatedayton.org.
For the past year. Dayton
teachers have been working
with Innovate Oregon and
corporate partners, including IMB and SparkFun, to
“develop new models of
learning that mirror the best
practices of high-growth,
high-performance companies,” according to Jamie
Fluke, principal at both Dayton High and Junior High.
“We are trying to re-imagine education,” Fluke said.
“That’s what our big dream
is right now.”
Though the plan is to
start with Dayton’s three
schools, OnlineNW plans to
extend the Dayton network
to provide all residents and
businesses in the community
with 1 G and 10 G service
options.
Tate acknowledges that
would put the company’s
home base of McMinnville
behind in the internet speed
race, at least temporarily.
The company will begin
offering home and business
subscriber packages as soon
as it can scare up sufficient
demand. Subscribers would
be able to hook up with their
existing laptops and desktops, though Morrison said
some of them might need to
update their routers to handle
the higher speed.
Aside from the obvious advantages to schools,
the key benefit of a 10 GB
network, Morrison said, is
“future-proofing.”
“The amount of data in
the last two years is greater
than all the data that’s been
available on the internet in
previous years, and it’s going
to continue to grow exponentially,” he said. “So the
issue is not, ‘Do you need it
today,’ but, ‘Will you need it
tomorrow?’ If you’re making
this kind of investment, you
cannot build for today.”
One who does have it today
is Elaine Spalding, a former Oregonian now heading
the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce in North
Carolina. She describes her
10-gigabit service as “very
fast and reliable.”
“When I travel to other
communities,” she said, “I
realize how spoiled we are
here in Salisbury.”

McMinnville softball players welcome sophomore Ashley Rhoads (5) to home plate after Rhoads’ three-run home run in the second inning of Wednesday’s OSAA Class 6A state secondround game at Tigard. The No. 27-seeded Grizzlies defeated the No. 11-seeded Tigers, 10-0, in six innings.
McMinnville softball shakes up the OSAA Class 6A state softball bracket with pair of upset victories
By ROBERT HUSSEMAN
TIGARD – They are the No.
27-seeded team in the OSAA Class
6A state softball playoffs and the
No. 1 opponent nobody wants to
face.
“I’m going to be honest. First
inning, I honestly already had that
feeling,” McMinnville sophomore
Ashley Rhoads said Wednesday
evening. “You could just, see after
we got that one run and we got
those three outs right away, that it
was definitely like they were done.”
It was Rhoads who initiated the
action in the Grizzlies’ 6A state
second-round game against No. 11
Tigard, leading off the top of the
first inning with a double. Anika
Heidt would single in Rhoads
four batters later; the run scored
just before the Tigers threw out
McMinnville junior Sydnee Reeser
as she attempted to advance an
extra base.
In the bottom half of the inning,
Grizzlies freshman Payton Hudson
required 15 pitches to sit Tigard
down in order. Two groundouts
to the pitcher, and an unassisted
putout by first baseman Sydni Dix.
Back up to bat.
“They just gave up after that
first inning,” Hudson said. “I think
we just came out hard and we had
lots of intensity, and they just shut
down.”
That is what total control looks
like.
Not since 2009 has McMinnville
softball reached the Class 6A state
quarterfinals. The third-place team
in the Class 6A Greater Valley
Conference is also the last GVC
squad standing. It has been a heady
last three days for the Grizzlies,
and Wednesday’s 10-0, six-inning
evisceration of the Class 6A Three
Rivers League co-champion Tigers
is, they hope, not the culmination
of their efforts.
Rather than the end product,
McMinnville’s thrilling run could
be the start of something bigger.
“They had to get to that point
where they believed in themselves
and their teammates. I think we’re
there,” Mac head coach Courtney
Seifert said. “They proved that
they’re in it.
“You want them to peak in the
postseason, and they’re peaking.”
How did the Grizzlies (17-12)
get here? Hitching their wagon
to the right arm of Hudson helps.
The freshman has allowed 10 hits,
two walks and one run through
McMinnville’s two playoff games,
a highly mature performance.
Tigard (21-8) amassed only three
hits (one for extra bases) and a

Hole-in-one report
Sam Swenson: The Grizzlies’ spirit animal
Senior first baseman
a dynamic presence in
McMinnville’s infield
By ROBERT HUSSEMAN
Sam Swenson takes pride
in his defense.
Being a first baseman
seems so easy, right? See
ball, catch ball. Field
grounder, step to the left.
Sabermetrics at the Major
League Baseball level have
been unkind to the first
baseman, he of the few balls
in play received and, thus,
limited importance on strong
defense. Recent vintages of
the Seattle Mariners have
showcased scores of first
basemen fitting a similar
physical profile: tall, barrelchested and more limited in
turning radius than a tractor
semi-trailer. The names have
changed – Richie Sexson,
Ben Broussard, Justin Smoak
– but the defensive profile
remains the same.
“I think that first base can
kind of get overlooked at
times,” McMinnville baseball
coach Jordan Harlow said
in March. “I think people
take for granted how much
athleticism it takes to play
the position. It’s nice to have
him.”
Swenson
takes
a
swashbuckler’s approach
to defense. He throws his
6-foot-3 body to and fro as
the situation calls for it, with
a foot always judiciously
applied to the bag. (And if
he must step off to stave
off a major catastrophe, so
be it.) The 2016 season has
proven that the Grizzlies’
infielders – Cedric AgcaoiliOstrom, Kade Mechals,
Jesse Ehrhart, Brad Hessel
and Wyatt Smith, among
others – do a good job of
fielding ground balls and
throwing them to first base
where Swenson can catch it.
Nevertheless,
if
the
situation calls for it, Swenson
is ready to dig deep.
“That’s the thing with
him: he kind of defies that
stereotype,” Harlow said.
“He knows the game, he
knows where he’s supposed
to go with the baseball and
he can kind of be that vocal

When he doesn’t play first base for the McMinnville baseball team, senior Sam Swenson has
been known to throw a few relief innings – 16 1/3, to be precise, including a start. Swenson

No doubt, McMinnville
baseball is back in the OSAA
Class 6A state quarterfinals
because of

top
seven
teams in Class 6A in run
prevention (91 allowed
in 29 games); five of the
seven remain in the playoff
hunt. With a team batting
average of .294 and an
on-base percentage of .409,
the Grizzlies have executed
their small-ball offensive
game plan consistently, with
occasionally brilliant results.
Still, let’s spare a thought
for Swenson, the dynamic
person and athlete in an
unglamorous position, the
kid who looks the part of a
baseball player but doesn’t
always behave like one.
Three-sport athletes are,
indeed, more rare these days,
but Swenson pulled off a
rare triple for his senior
year. He played tight end
on McMinnville’s football
team and swam on the
Grizzlies’ state runner-up
boys swimming team before
returning to baseball in the
spring.
“I remember telling him
when he was a sophomore
that I thought it was great that
we had a couple of guys that
swam and played baseball,”
Harlow said. “I knew it was
good for their shoulders and
good for their endurance. I
tell the guys all the time,
my mom was a high-level
swimmer, so I always joke
around with them, ‘Hey, I
have swimming in my gene
pool.’”
He performs his feats of
athleticism with an unseen
ailment. Swenson’s left
kidney is “the size of a golf
ball.”
“I was born with two
healthy
kidneys.
One
shriveled up (to) half the size
and the other one’s twice
as big,” Swenson said. “I
had kidney stones when I
was two – I don’t remember
it, fortunately. Eight years
old, I felt I was having
appendicitis. It was on the
wrong side.
“I have one kidney and
an enlarged bladder, so I
can hold more pee and hold
when I go. I thought that was
pretty cool at the age of eight
years old and the doctor said,
‘No, this is bad.’
“It’s a blessing and a curse.
It’s a blessing because I can’t
drink when I get older, so I
can stay away from that. It
gives me a good excuse to
get out of situations I don’t
want to be in. It doesn’t
bother me at all. I embrace it.
“Also, if I get shot, which I
doubt it, and it goes through
my left kidney – heeeey, it
missed!”
It can be ascertained
that Swenson has both a
positive and thoroughly
original outlook on life. He
is grounded in his faith – it
partly influenced his decision
day. My philosophy is that
what we’re going to learn as
a team and as an individual
is to compete. Compete in
practice, compete in the
weight room, compete in
games, compete to be the
best people we can be.”
Y-C brought in three
players from the 2015 team –
sophomore Colton Saddoris
and juniors Michael Paolo
and Hunter Horne – into
Mossholder’s
interview
to vet him, he said, and he
has met with present and
interested football players on
campus. He will see more
of them: Mossholder will
hold a part-time teaching
position at Yamhill-Carlton
High School, in addition to
his duties as a football coach.
Mossholder said he has
two stipends available from
the Yamhill-Carlton School
District to use on assistant
coaches. Mossholder, who
turns 25 in September, is
looking for in his assistant
coaches “guys that are like
me, high-energy, going to
build kids up.”
“We don’t want anybody
to beat the kids down. We’re
not going to beat them
down,” he added.
Mossholder plans to get
his first look at the Tigers in
an athletic setting the week
of June 6, in a belated spring
practice period.
“We’ll see how these kids
move and play and run,”
he said. “The first, biggest
priority is just getting as
many kids out as we can. We
just need more bodies.”

Of the News Register
For a young Amity
Warriors softball team bereft
of state playoff experience
in recent years, a first round
victory in this year’s Class
3A softball state playoffs is
not being taken lightly.
Such was the feeling
among the players and staff
of this No. 6-seeded Warriors
team after they prevailed
over No. 11-seeded Blanchet
Catholic by a score of 12-4
at Amity High School on
Wednesday.
“It’s a great feeling for
our team to get this win. It’s
the first time in a long time
that Amity has gotten to the
second round of the state
playoffs,” said Warriors head
coach Patrick O’Leary.
“It was a really good win.
We needed to come out ready
to play. We got hyped in
the dugout and that allowed
us to get up on them in
the beginning,” added right
fielder Keeley Graham.
With the benefit of a
prolonged playoff run
comes experience for a
youthful Warriors squad that
features only one senior,
third baseman Taylor Van
Brunt. Players like freshmen
Scout DeMain and Graham,
already mainstays in the top
of the Warriors’ batting order,
can apply this year’s playoff
experience to the next three
years as they develop and
refine their games.
“The youth of this team
is huge. We have a good,
strong core that will have
potential for years to come,”
said O’Leary.
That core put on an
offensive showcase for the
many fans out to support the
home side. Fans have been

prowess of this lineup, as the
Warriors have scored 10 or
more runs in 14 games this
year. On Wednesday, Amity
collected 15 hits against the
Cavaliers, and only left five
runners on base.
The offense was led by the
Warriors’ first two hitters,
Graham and junior Shayla
Pendergraft, who both had
perfect days at the plate.
Graham batting leadoff,
used her speed to leg out two
triples, while totaling four
hits and three runs scored.
Pendergraft added three hits
of her own to go along with
an RBI and a run scored.
First baseman LillyAnn
Dumler also contributed to
the offensive onslaught as
she went 2-for-4 with two
RBI and two runs scored.
Pendergraft is a three-year
varsity player and a de facto
elder stateswoman on this
team, and she sees the team’s
resilience as a key to their
offensive success. With the
Cavaliers jumping out to a
two-run lead in the top of
the first inning, the Warriors
responded quickly in the
bottom half as they pushed
across three runs.
“We have been trying to
‘win the inning’ all year. So
if they score two, we need
to score three or more,” said
Pendergraft.
When
asked
about
the strong victory over
the
Cavaliers,
pitcher
Brittnie Brown points to
the experiences this team
has shared not only during
the softball season, but
throughout the rest of the
school year.
“We have great chemistry
together, because a lot of
these girls are together year
round. We’ve learned how
to win, knowing when to get
our mindsets right, and when
to get hits,” said Brown.
Brown
started
the
opening playoff game
for the Warriors, suffered
through a rough first two
innings where she allowed
three runs, then settled in
and pitched two scoreless
innings in a row. Brown
allowed those three runs on
four hits, while adding six
strikeouts. Pendergraft came
on in relief, pitching three
innings of one-run ball to
close out the game.
While the Warriors see the
victory over the Cavaliers as
being a great achievement,

can’t do that. A lot of people
can’t come back from that.”
Rhoads started off the
Grizzlies’
torrid
rally
and ended it, scoring
McMinnville’s 10th run in
the top of the sixth inning
after the Tigers misplayed a
Reeser single in the outfield.
For all the good vibrations
surrounding the jubilant
Grizzlies during the game,
it was a Tigard coach who
paid them the highest
compliment. In the middle
of the second inning, after
Rhoads put McMinnville up
4-0 with her home run, the
Tigers assembled around
their coach.
“They want this,” she told
her players. “We need to
show our fight.”

walk as Hudson pitched to
20 batters, two more than the
six-inning minimum.
More revelatory, the
Grizzlies’ defense – usually
a dynamic outfit two ways –
has played at a level befitting
the current stage. Hudson
has yet to record a strikeout
through two playoff games,
and the infielders have
made the necessary plays
while the outfielders track
the occasional ball. Heidt,
Reeser and Dix completed
a rundown of Tigard first
baseman Brooke Pilant in
the fourth inning after Pilant
attempted to stretch a single
into a double.
“Pickles, for us, sometimes
don’t go the best, so we
definitely got super-nervous,”
Rhoads said. “When Dix got
it – ever since her knee injury
(Dix tore the anterior cruciate
ligament in her right knee this
past winter) she’s still superspeedy. We’re like, okay, Dix
got this.”
In the sixth inning, Reeser
caught a line drive from Pilant
at shortstop and doubled up
Tigers third baseman Kalyna
Korok to end the game.
The pitching and defense
have been the foundation, but
McMinnville’s offense has
come around as well.
After going 0-for-4 in
Monday’s first-round contest,
Rhoads exploded at the plate,
hitting 4-for-4 (a triple away
from the cycle), driving in
four runs and scoring three
herself. Rhoads belted a
three-run home run over the
left field fence in the second
inning to score Dix (2-for-3)

and Bayleigh Snaric (2-for-2
two runs scored).
“Ash is so awesome. I call
her my ‘hang loose’ kid.
She’s so easygoing,” Seifert
said. “If you asked her, she’d
tell you she’s not competitive
at all. She just comes out to
play and have fun.”
Rhoads drove home Snaric
with a single in the top of the
fourth inning, and freshman
Lexie McKinley scored on a
Tigard error. (McKinley and
fellow freshman Cheyenne
Schreiner are Seifert’s two
varsity call-ups for the
playoffs. Their importance is
magnified with the absences
of junior Nichole Teasdale,
out with a right knee injury,
and freshman Hailee Swiger,
out with a broken left foot.)
Three batters later, Hudson
hit a towering three-run home
run to center field – “I’ve
never seen a ball hit that far,”
Seifert said. “I probably will
never see a ball hit that far.

Navy looks for a few good geeks, as local racers take the plunge
By TOM HENDERSON
T
he Marine Corps is looking for a few good men.
The Navy?
“We’re looking for geeky, nerdy kids,” said Sergio Barrientos, a Navy education specialist.
Finding them requires a certain amount of naval
strategy. So Barrientos came to the Evergreen Wings &
Waves Waterpark May 17 on a reconnaissance mission, as
a group of teenagers gathered for what might be called the
submarine races.
While young people have been going to submarine races
for generations now, it’s not the same as it was back in the
days of the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. For these kids, it’s
not a polite term for, uh, pitching woo. They really are racing submarines.
Well, they’re racing underwater “SeaPerches” to be quite
accurate. They are devices designed to teach kids underwater engineering skills.
The remotely operated vehicles were inspired by the
1997 book, “Build Your Own Underwater Robot and Other
Wet Projects,” by Harry Bohm and Vickie Jensen. In its
wake, educational programs based on the little yellow submarines began to spring up all around the country.
The SeaPerches found their way to Evergreen’s Wings &
Waves Waterpark via Dayton High science teacher Jason
Nice.
He used a grant from the Evergreen Aviation & Space
Museum, which operates the water park, to acquire the
devices. And the program he built around them has proven

From

swindling
tourists
at a gambling parlor, to
fleecing miners in a tentcity saloon, to peddling
stock in nonexistent gold
mines, the opportunities for
a morally flexible fellow to
make a stack of ill-gotten
greenbacks was probably
never higher in the Beaver
State than it was back then.
One of the most popular
ways for a con man to
steal a buck or two was
with a medical-miracle
scam. An enterprising con
would mix up a concoction
containing a few substances
with dramatic effects —
red pepper, alcohol and
laudanum, say — and
mix in a couple different
flavoring agents to give it
the proper medicinal taste:
eucalyptus oil, for example.
Then, into a bottle it would
go, and the con, calling
himself “Doc,” would roll
from town to town selling

it as a secret-recipe folk
remedy for whatever seemed
most likely to sell.
This basic scheme was
demonstrated in one of the
more famous episodes of
The Lone Ranger radio
show, from 1938 — in
which “Doc Stubbs” rolls
into town selling a product
called “Snake Oil Tonic,”
which does nothing but put
the residents to sleep so that
his accomplice can pick
their pockets.
Unfortunately, there aren’t
many stories of specific
medico-cons in the historical
record. Touring the country
under false names and often
a skip or two ahead of the
law, they did their best to
stay out of the history books
as long as possible.
But the legitimate
physicians in the towns they
visited have left us some
pretty colorful accounts
of their general business
methods.
“Do you see that open
barouche coming down the
street with a torch on either
side … and two California
sharpers sitting just back
of the driver?” wrote Dr.

wildly successful.
Some 30 students, from
freshmen to seniors, divided
into six teams to research,
construct, test and race
SeaPerches.
Along the way, they
learned about structural
engineering, navigation and
troubleshooting. They also
learned something working
in teams, with one student
operating as the project
manager.
They had the opportunity
to try out their SeaPerches
underwater on May 17, as
well as race them against
students from Warrenton
High School, on the coast
west of Astoria.
Casey Gill, education
coordinator at Evergreen,
came up with the idea.
“It’s so exciting to see so
many kids here,” he said.
“They really get excited
about this.”
Bailey McCloud, 15-yearold fan of a certain British
science fiction series, said
she was as much interested
in traveling through time
and space as going underwater.
“I’m a big ‘Doctor Who’
fan,” she said. “That’s one
of the reasons I’m so interested in science.
“It’s really fun. And I like
cutting the tubes.”
The tubes are part of the
construction.
The rest of the engineering details get a little
technical. But McCloud
brought them down to earth
by explaining, in decidedly
lay terms, “The spinny thing
makes it go up and down
and side to side.”
Of course, getting the
“spinny thing” to work
properly is no small matter.
“You practice a lot and
try to make it go straight,”
said Bethany Leach, 16, one
of the project managers.
“It’s practice, practice and
more practice.”
Todd Curtis, an assistant professor of physics
at George Fox University,
brought nine of his engineering students in to
help design and install an
obstacle course for the
SeaPerches.
“This is really exciting,”
he said. “There was nothing
like this when I was in high
school.”
That seemed to be the
general consensus of the
grown-ups present. Curtis,
Nice, Barrientos and Gill
all gushed with enthusiasm,
saying they never got to

back in the dark ages of the
’80s and ’90s.
“This is fun,” Nice said.
“This is hands on. This is a
lot better than sitting back
at class and reading a textbook.”
Curtis said designing an
underwater obstacle course
is not exactly rocket science.
“It’s nothing complicated,”
he said.
But he added, “It’s still a
design challenge.”
Adding to the challenge
was this: Curtis limited his
students to a $20 budget.
He’s in the middle of
building a house, so students
were able to salvage most
of the materials they needed
from the construction site.
“I think the only thing we
bought was duct tape,” he
said.
Barrientos said working
within a budget is extremely
important. As the program
evolves, he said, a cap will
be put on spending.
“I don’t want rich schools
spending more money,” he
said.
SeaPerches are not expensive. They’re made from
PVC pipe and other readily
available materials.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sea
Grant program launched the
SeaPerch initiative in 2003.
It’s being sponsored by the
Office of Naval Research as
part of the National Naval
Responsibility for Naval
Engineering.
It’s a conscious effort to
find the next generation of
naval architects and marine
engineers, Barrientos said.
The competition didn’t
stop May 17, he added.
More meets will follow,
each more complicated than
the one before.
“Today, there shouldn’t
be much difference in vessel design,” he said during
the recent competition. “But
come November, we’re
going to cut the tether.
“They’re really going
to have to operate them
remotely. Then things will
really get interesting.”
He said, “We’re going
to mount cameras on the
perches. Then we’ll find our
engineers.”

“He takes in the character of the crowd and begins
his oration: He has a medicine for sale that will cure
catarrh, asthma, epizootic, and all other diseases.”

Continued from B1
in Portland in the 1870s.
“They wear stovepipe hats
and are neatly dressed
in broadcloth with high
standing collars, and wear
massive watch chains
washed with oroids and
glistening in the light of
their torches. … They stop
on the corner of First and
Alder streets. By this time,
attracted by the torches and
the music of a fiddle, there
has gathered around them a
crowd. The orator stands up
in the barouche. He takes in
the character of the crowd
and begins his oration: He
has a medicine for sale that
will cure catarrh, asthma,
epizootic, and all other
diseases.
“He is a ventriloquist.
Here he lifts up his ‘Punch
and Judy’ and makes
her sing a song about
Henry Ward Beecher,
which amuses the crowd.
He then makes her say
something about the value
of his medicine in curing all
diseases. …
“He makes an eloquent
speech with loud
intonations and violent
gestures. ‘This medicine
is a sure cure for asthma,
consumption, catarrh, or
anything else you happen
to have. Anyone who buys
it and is not satisfied will
have his money refunded.
We sold 5,000 packages
here in Portland last year
at a dollar a package and if
there is a man here who was
not satisfied, let him walk
up and return it and we will
refund the money.’
“Of course nobody does.
This satisfies the crowd
that the medicine is a good
thing, and one poor laboring
man walks up and hands
over a dollar and receives an
ounce bottle of magnesia,
table salt and red pepper,
nicely mixed. ‘Now take a
pinch of that,’ shouts the
doctor, ‘and see if it doesn’t
clean out your nose.’ The
victim obeys and sniffs,
sneezes, snorts until the
tears run down his cheeks
and then laughs. He proudly
shoves the package into his
breeches pocket, with an
expression on his face that
shines out through dirt and
tobacco juice, which the
crowd reads as saying, ‘By
golly, I think that medicine
ain’t no humbug.’
“Now the sharper shouts
out: ‘Gentlemen, if you are
skeptical of this medicine,
I don’t blame you. You
have been humbugged and
robbed by your doctors
until you have no faith in
medicines.’
“Here he snatches up a
package of his stuff and,
extending it to the crowd,
proceeds: ‘Gentlemen,
we humbug nobody. We
believe in dealing on the
square. Please, walk up and
try some for yourself. This
may be your last chance to
get a medicine for a dollar
that will do you more good
than a thousand dollars
spent on a doctor. You may
not be diseased now, but
you may be within a week
after we have gone back
to California, and when
we come back next year
you may be down in your
graves, or on your beds
past cure. You know that
millions of souls have been
eternally lost because they
failed to get religion when
the preacher invited them.
Don’t make the same fearful
mistake. Get medicine when
you have a chance. Don’t
wait until it is too late.’
“At this point, the rattle
of dollars dropping into
the collection box sounds
like a gambler’s table.
It is now 10:00 and the
intelligent fellow-citizens
are tired. The doctors bid
them an affectionate goodnight, promising to be back
tomorrow night, and in the
meantime they can be found
at their room at the hotel
where they will be pleased
to relieve as many sufferers
as choose to call.
“On reaching their rooms,
their piety evaporates.
They don’t even say their
prayers and go to bed, but
proceed to open their bag
and count out 57 webfoot
dollars, as the result of
their night’s work. At four
other doctors’ stands the
receipts range from $20 to
$80. The doctors crawl into
their beds happy, and …
the ventriloquist says, ‘Jim,
they told us the truth in
California, didn’t they?’
“‘How’s that?’
“‘That there are more
doggone fools in Portland
than anywhere else.’
“Jim replies, ‘You bet!
It’s a good place to gather
goose feathers up here in
Webfoot.’”

Mom distraught over
meatless menu option
DEAR
CAROLYN:
I’m
getting
married
soon and
am a
vegetarian.
Our menu
Carolyn Hax
has one
offers advice
meat option based on the
and one
experiences of
vegetarian
someone who’s
been there.
option, as
well as
appetizers (a mixture of
meat and veggie), sides and
dessert. My fiance and I
feel this is sufficient.
But my parents are
paying and my mother is
brought to tears every time
we talk about the wedding
because she thinks some
of her friends will be
offended without two meat
options for an entree. As
a vegetarian, I’m already
not thrilled to be serving
meat at all and I’ve tried to
explain that another entree
will cost a lot.
She insists that she’s
paying so it’s fine, but
we’ve been through this
before with wedding plans.
She asks for something
more expensive and then
complains about the overall
cost. (Note that many of my
friends aren’t being invited
because her friends are so
numerous and her family is
being given preference over
my father’s).
Am I being too rigid? I
feel like her friends will be
fine if they have to eat a
vegetable or two.
— Anonymous
You can’t say this but I
can: Your mother is being
ridiculous. (I can still only
say the printable version.)
To ask omnivores to
eat a vegetable is a lot
less radical than to ask a
vegetarian to serve meat
at her wedding. And,
while there are still some
holdouts in the “vegetarians
are exotic weirdos put on
earth to judge me” camp,
I feel confident they aren’t
as legion as your mother
apparently fears.
Were I to guess, though,
I’d say these points are
beside the point. Your
mother sounds worked up
in general — about costs,
the passage of time, being
the center of attention, not
being the center of attention
... the menu of possibilities
is diner-esque — and has
fixed on the undead entree
as the Stick With Which to
Beat You.
Regardless, the best
way to deal with it isn’t to
impress her with the costeffectiveness of eggplant.
You don’t reason with the
unreasonable. Instead, just
be the anti-stress. “Oh,
Mom.” [hug optional] “It’ll
be beautiful. Thank you
for all you’ve done.” Be
otherwise impervious to
tears.
Have Plan B ready,
though — to pay for the
food yourself.
DEAR CAROLYN:
How do we deal with
my siblings who celebrate
their kids with parties that
everyone is expected to
attend? Birthdays until
18 or 21 in some cases,
eighth-grade graduations,
high school graduations, a
celebration for one nephew
every time he gets a degree/
goes to another college
(he’s going to be a doctor
so there are a few), goingaway parties when they
are spending six weeks
in an exchange program,
coming-home party when
they return, etc., etc., etc.
When kids from the same
household have events
near each other, they have
separate parties.
With eight nieces and
nephews, we are so done!
But not going costs us
hostility that extends to our
nieces and nephews because
the parents have taught
them to expect everyone to
come celebrate them. We
are exhausted!
— Anonymous
There are only two
answers, go or don’t go
— and “so done” cuts it to
one: Don’t go. (Except of
course when you want to.)
Settle in to ride out the
complaints. Your time is
yours, not theirs, so treat it
as such.

book review
“Derailed,” by James Siegel, 2003, Warner Books.
Larry Widdoes teaches high school during the day and
a writing class for prisoners at Attica in the evenings.
One of his night class students drops off the surprising
first chapters of a novel — surprising because they’re
very well written, and surprising because they tell a
frighteningly realistic story.
From that beginning, author
James Siegel moves into telling
the story in the prisoner’s novel. In
fact, it makes up the bulk of this
psychological thriller. He builds
the tension well and keeps readers
guessing with harrowing twists and
turns throughout the narrative.
The prisoner introduces us to
Charles, a middle-aged ad executive with a stagnant marriage and
a sick child. His daughter is an
insulin-dependent diabetic who’s
not doing well. It frightens her parents into a stupor; they
can’t even talk about it.
One day, as Charles rides a commuter train toward
work, he spots a shapely thigh across the aisle. He looks
up to find a beautiful face, as well, and soon he and the
woman, a stockbroker, are trading confidences.
Their affair progresses as if it, too, were on rails until
the morning when they both skip work to check into a
hotel. There they are discovered by a stranger who threatens blackmail. Charles’s life is soon a mess, which seems only to get
bigger as he tries to wriggle out of it while keeping his
secret.
Siegel was very clever to include the complication of
the ill daughter. It helps bring out readers’ sympathy for
Charles, who otherwise could easily be seen as a cad.
Readers may even root for him as he realizes how much
he loves his family and tries to protect the women in his
life from harm. The book also contains some interesting insight into
the advertising industry, including the process of making
commercials and other marketing tools. Not surprisingly,
the author is a creative director at an ad agency. His
background definitely helps him flesh out the character
of Charles.

raduation should be a happy
occasion during which students are honored and their
years of achievement celebrated.
It’s a formal event. It should be
treated that way — for the benefit of
all graduates and the parents, other
relatives, teachers and friends who
have supported them over the years. More than 1,100 students are
graduating from Yamhill County high
schools this year. Willamina High,
which traditionally opens graduation
season, will graduate its 44-member class Saturday. The bulk of the
commencement events will follow
two weeks later: McMinnville and
Newberg, June 10; Amity, Dayton
and Sheridan Saturday, June 11; and
Yamhill-Carlton Sunday, June 12.
The county also will recognize
hundreds of students who completed
Chemeketa Community College,
George Fox College in Newberg and
Linfield College in McMinnville —
Linfield’s graduation is this Sunday
morning.
The graduates themselves will
be nervous, excited, happy, a little
sad about leaving friends, perhaps
somewhat worried about the future,
even though they’re eager for new
experiences. In many cases, they will
decorate their mortarboards to make
the event more personal — adding a
name, a number, a toy, an exclamation
of joy or a message to supporters.
Otherwise, though, the Yamhill
County graduates will respect the formality of the occasion, pay attention
to the speakers, and conduct themselves like the mature young adults
they are.
If only I could say the same for the
audience.
As local commencement ceremonies have become more decorous over
the years, there’s been a corresponding
relaxation of etiquette in the grandstands.
Of course, I’m referring to a fairly
small percentage of the crowd; most
relatives and friends are respectful.
But the minority can turn an event that
should be a happy memory into one
we groan about.
Here’s just one example from a graduation I covered a year or two ago:
The band strikes up “Pomp and
Circumstance.” The proud graduating seniors begin marching into the
stadium. The crowd stands in honor of
the students.
No, wait: SOME of the crowd
stands. Others remain seated, many
bent over their cell phones, thumbs
flying. I’m standing, of course, because
that’s what I should be doing. And
the woman behind me — I saw her
walk in, and am pretty sure she is fully
capable of standing, too -- pokes me
and says, “You’re blocking my view.”
I move over a little. Eventually, she
C2 Friday, May 27, 2016
rises, snaps a shot of her particular
graduate, then sits down again.
Did this woman, and dozens of others in that section of the grandstand,
simply not know they should stand
while the graduates and faculty are on
the march? Did they not realize, later, they
should also stand when the color
guard marched in with the U.S. and
Oregon flags? That’s proper protocol:
You stand, hand over heart, while the
American flag passes by. Have we become a nation of individuals, concerned only with our own
comfort and caring little about the
people around us? Or, have we simply
forgotten how to act in public because
we’ve spent too much time alone
behind our small screens?
Really, when attending a graduation
or another public event, all you need
to do is use common courtesy.
Be pleasant to those around you.
Scoot over a little to let one more
person sit down, and if you’re the
beneficiary of such a seat, say thank
you. Don’t be disruptive; make sure
others can hear what’s going on. Turn
off your cell phone — at the very least
put it on silent and keep it away.
When you attend a commencement
ceremony, you’re probably there to
see one particular graduate, or perhaps
your daughter or son and a few of his
or her friends. But you should behave
as if you’re honoring your graduate’s
entire class.
Sure, the ceremony takes awhile.

Don’t let bad news blind
us to that which is right
It can take a strong stomach to digest a
day’s worth of what passes for news in the
cesspool of social media. And many days,
one fares only marginally better with the
outpourings of media outlets hawking
their wares over ratings-obsessed cable
and web venues.
It’s no wonder politicians seem to make
so much headway pandering to the longing for simpler and safer times, with
doom, gloom and dread dominating the
field for a good share of the populace.
We are certainly not immune to delivering news falling somewhere toward the
negative end of the scale. However, we
do our best to mix in a fair measure of the
inspirational and uplifting as well.
In Tuesday’s edition, we regaled readers
with a recovered cash tale bordering on
the miraculous.
A packet of money slipped from Jeremy
Barker’s shirt pocket while he was dumping a load of trash at Riverbend Landfill.
With more than a little justification, he
figured that was the last he would ever
see of it.
But he put in a call anyway, and landfill
workers took time out to launch a search.
The packet was already partially buried,
but they managed to retrieve it nonetheless.
We also filled in readers on a publicprivate partnership that promises to pay
long-term dividends.
Maintaining a team capable of low- and
high-angle rope rescue has always seemed
beyond the reach of McMinnville’s predominantly volunteer fire department.
But Cascade Steel fields one at its
McMinnville mill, and offered to team up
with the department to serve the broader
needs of the community as well.
On the national/international level, we
seem to ingest a steady diet of government going wrong. But on the local level,
government seems to be getting it right
most of the time, which offers a welcome
counterpoint.
Does it make a difference?
It certainly seemed to last week, when
voters endorsed local government money
measures for two school districts and one
fire district, all by wide margins, providing a welcome dose of positive election
night news.
Goodwill toward local government also
paid off in last year’s May primary, when
Carlton voters approved a measure to
fund replacement of the poolhouse at the
community’s treasured outdoor pool.
On this year’s anniversary, Friends of
the Carlton Pool made the front page by
kicking in another $62,750, all raised
locally. Residents will begin reaping the
rewards during the approaching summer
season, and no doubt continue enjoying
them for many years to come.
Meanwhile, for the ninth year in a
row, Dana Packard was plowing some of
her Honest Chocolates proceeds into the
battle against ALS, which claimed the life
of her 42-year-old brother. And Lutheran
Community Services was staging a fiesta
to raise money for a rich variety of programs it offers local immigrants.
Looking ahead, graduation season will
attract even more goodwill stories to help
leaven the mix of tragedy that includes the
inevitable crimes, crashes and clashes. We
are happy to have them.

Report: Consumers take hit
if corporate sales tax passes
An analysis released this week confirms what many Oregonians have suspected from the outset: Initiative Petition
28 is bad for our state and bad for our
pocketbooks. It has little if any upside.
Just making the ballot, the measure puts
us in a lose-lose situation.
The sponsoring coalition, consisting
largely of public employee unions, is proposing a historically large tax increase on
companies doing business here — probably the largest ever imposed. Signatures
were submitted last week to qualify IP 28
for the November ballot.
Under IP 28, a tax of 2.5 percent would
be imposed on all sales over $25 million,
in addition to the corporate minimum tax
on the first $25 million. A corporation
with $50 million in sales would incur a
minimum tax of $655,001.
The report from the nonpartisan
Legislative Revenue Office exposes the
measure for what it is — a consumption
tax that would ultimately be passed on
to consumers.
The office estimates people with
incomes of $21,000 or less would
pay $372 more in indirect state taxes.
Those making between $48,000 and
$68,000 would pay $613 more, those
with incomes between $103,000 and
$137,000 would pay $751 more, and
those with incomes over $206,000 a year
would pay $1,282 more.
A Better Oregon, the union-led nonprofit behind the measure, claims it’s a
case of out-of-state corporations paying
their fair share. It claims the gusher of
new revenue would boost education and
health care services.
But we see it as a money-making scheme
to address the ongoing Public Employee
Retirement System shortfall. In essence,
the public unions are seeking a bailout
from corporations and consumers.
Because it functions as a gross receipts
tax, not taking into account profit and loss,
companies operating on smaller margins
would be forced to raise prices. The best
example would be grocery stores.
“Taxes initially born by the retail
trade, wholesale trade and utility sectors
are expected to result in higher prices for
Oregon residents,” the report concludes.
Furthermore, it concludes that just
50 of the 1,051 firms subject to the tax
would take more than half of the hit.
Being taxed millions of additional dollars to bail out PERS is a sound reason
for CEOs to look elsewhere to establish
business and provide jobs.
Some are predicting it will trigger
the most expensive political fight in
Oregon’s history, as business and labor
interests battle public union rhetoric.
It will thus mean more division and
less constructive compromise as Oregon
seeks solutions for the future.

The Bard vs. the Donald
My tale requires me to sketch in two
backgrounds — one literary and the other
historical.
Let’s begin with the literary background.
When the master of revels, who licensed
all stage performances, objected to Henry
Chettle’s “Sir Thomas More” (Act 2: Scene
4), Shakespeare was brought in to rewrite
the offending scene.
Now for the historical background. Protestant French Huguenots, fleeing the French
religious wars, immigrated to England. English workers rioted in London, claiming that
the “aliens” had taken jobs from them and
demanding that the government deport them.
Against this backdrop, Shakespeare, writing in the voice of More, asks us to imagine
what it would be like to be subjected to
forced repatriation:
Grant them removed, and grant that this
your noise Hath chid down all the majesty of
England; Imagine that you see the wretched
strangers, Their babies at their backs and
their poor luggage, Plodding to th’ ports and
coasts for transportation, And that you sit as
kings in your desires, Authority quite silent
by your brawl, And you in ruff of your opin-
ions clothed; What had you got? I’ll tell you:
You had taught How insolence and strong
hand should prevail, How order should be
quelled; and by this pattern Not one of you
should live an aged man. For other ruffians,
as their fancies wrought With self same hand,
self reasons, and self right,Would shark on
you, and men like ravenous fishes Would feed
on one another.
If we shark on others, they may turn and
shark on us, “and men like ravenous fishes
would feed on one another.”

I was thinking about subscribing to this

say that I will not be subscribing.
The News-Register showed its amazing
lack of integrity with the headlines after the
election. I’ve never been more embarrassed
of my hometown newspaper. You stooped

means, but the way you smeared County
Commissioner Allen Springer was absolutely uncalled for.
What happened to “unbiased” reporting?
Sounds to me like someone there at our

smeared Springer’s name. You can recant

Transfer station plan
needs prudent review
Riverbend Landfill has generated so much angst and
protest over so many years it’s surprising to see almost
no public interest generated by plans for a new solid
waste facility in McMinnville.
Newspaper stories about those plans have generated
only a handful of online reader comments, and little
public discussion in general. Perhaps there’s enough
anti-Riverbend sentiment to make
any alternative preferable.
That’s not to say Recology’s proposed solid waste transfer station
on Orchard Avenue is a bad idea.
However, officials owe it to the community to make sure all the right
questions are asked and answered in
the process.
Our report on a December presentation to the McMinnville City Jeb Bladine is
Council indicated that expansion of president and
recycling operations would occur publisher of the
on the site “even if it were not the News-Register.
logical place to develop a transfer
station.” Five short months later, the council should
be sure this is where it wants to locate an in-town
solid waste center.
As quoted this year in an industry publication,
California Waste Management Board veteran Paul
Relis said, “Odor is one of the biggest problems facing compost facilities, landfills, and transfer stations.
The problem is not going to go away; it’s only going
to get more acute, which means the industry is going
to have to find ways to coexist with our neighbors
because the transfer station is a vital piece of municipal infrastructure.”
The Forester Media article included discussion about
rapid movement of waste through transfer facilities; ventilation and exhaust systems; facility design
requirements to facilitate cleanup and reduce odors;
adequate space so trucks can move in and out quickly;
rapid door closure systems; cleanup procedures; avoidance of over-use causing waste storage where it wasn’t
originally intended; operating adjustments based on
weather; and more.
Transfer station plans originally were part of a
negotiation process for Recology to elicit lower
disposal rates from Waste Management, owner of
Riverbend. But WM has resisted those proposals, perhaps because it can charge full price from out-of-area
disposers. And perhaps removal of Recology waste
from Riverbend actually would extend the landfill’s
lifespan, although that remains subject to complex
legal proceedings.
The proposed transfer station is near a major city
park, residential neighborhoods and the new Northeast
Gateway development area. McMinnville City Council,
which has been an outspoken opponent of Riverbend
expansion, should be certain this long-term decision is
the best one.

Because environmentalists want to
try to save a few forests in Oregon,
the News-Register editorial board suggests they are responsible for “poverty,
drug abuse and child neglect.”
That makes about as much
sense as claiming support for the
Newberg-Dundee Bypass and the
auto industry is responsible for the
annual carnage on our highways.
There have been five great extinction
events in the last 500 million years,
the last one about 66 million years
ago when a huge asteroid slammed
into Earth, the probable cause of
the extinction of the dinosaurs and
about 75 percent of all species at the
time. We are currently in the midst
of the sixth great extinction, referred
to as the Holocene or Anthropocene
extinction — this one caused by
humans.
By one estimate, we are losing up to
140,000 species a year, most of them
unknown to science. We are literally
destroying the web of life on this
planet, which will lead to unknown
consequences to all living beings,
including ourselves. While government agencies, environmental groups
and the media focus on one animal,
bird, fish or plant to protect or rail
against, they are merely symbolic of
a complex ecosystem that is being
relentlessly attacked by the endless
expansion of human activities.
Given the forces at work here, per-
haps it is naïve to think that trying
to save some forestland will make a
difference. After all, if we are going
to destroy it all anyway, why wait? I
choose to oppose such fatalism and
stand with those who favor stopping
the destruction and healing the Earth.
Such an attitude is not the cause of
poverty, drug abuse or child neglect.

Front-page editorial?
Shame on the News-Register for
putting an editorial on the front page
and passing it off as objective news
reporting.
The headline “Voters dump Springer” is offensive and inaccurate. The
paper goes on to report that voters
were ”sweeping Mayor Rick Olson
to a decisive victory.” Olson got 54.9
percent of the votes, just 5 above a
50/50 split. Springer’s 45 percent is
just 5 percent below a 50/50 split.
That is not a decisive win. On
page 2 of the paper, the article by the
Associated Press reports that Bernie
Sanders won the Democratic primary,
but his win was unimpressive with
only 56 percent of the vote. Did the
news editor review both articles?
This was a close election. The
voters did not dump Alan Springer.
Characterizing this as a “sweeping
decisive victory” is inaccurate, a
distortion of the facts, insulting to
Springer and the 45 percent of voters who supported him. I ask you to
report the news objectively and leave

“You may opt to leave the picturetaking for later, when you can get
really good pictures close-up.”
your grad’s name is called, make it
brief so the succeeding graduate’s
name can be heard directly by the rest
of the crowd.
If you move to the front of the stadium to take photos, try not to block
anyone’s view. You may opt to leave
the picture-taking for later, when you
can get really good pictures close-up.
And please, I beg you, present that
giant balloon bouquet to your graduate
at home, either before or after the ceremony. Balloons always interfere with
other people’s views, and sometimes
they escape, floating skyward during
the principal’s address. If I could change only one feature
of local graduations: I would install a
“balloon check” station, where people
could park those Mylar bouquets until
after the ceremony. If I could change another aspect, I
would urge everyone in the crowd to
behave as respectfully as the graduates
themselves.
