Eisen- hower, as recorded in one of the war’s most popular photographs the day be- fore D-Day. “The response to this has been great,” Marone said. “Veterans that haven’t shared their story in 40 or 50 years, even to their family, are doing that now.” Silverton resident Harry Douglas came to the tribute’s unveiling to support fellow veterans. “I’m a veteran and member of the American Legion and wanted to see what they were doing,” he said. “I think it’s a good thing they are doing.” Businesses Continued from Page 1A businesses.” Megan Bergstrom said she wants more shopping options. “We need a more af- fordable place to pur- chase toiletries and paper products and diapers,” she said. “I can’t afford to shop Silverton first.” During the past two years, the city’s planning office has seen a larger than normal flow of appli- cations from businesses and for apartment con- struction. Each has gone through the planning of- fice and Jason Gottge- treu, the city’s communi- ty development director. “We look at each one and see what the pro- posed use is,” he said. “We look at the business li- cense plan, the intensity of business and traffic thresholds among other SHELDON TRAVER / SPECIAL TO THE STATESMAN JOURNAL Rodney and Phebe Bennett pose for a photograph in front of the newly installed veterans tribute wall at Davenport Place in Silverton. Aaron Cressey has served in three different branches of the military and also wanted to see see the tribute wall. “I think it’s great and brought back some mem- ories for me,” he said. “It makes me feel good that they are not only remem- bered, but it’s also a way to pay our respect.” The public is invited to visit the veterans tribute wall weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Davenport Place is located at 930 Oak St. in Silverton. things.” A businesses in- tensity refers to the amount of traffic a busi- ness generates in a given location. The former Rite-Aid location had ap- proximately 300 trips per day to the location so it was considered a “fairly intense use” Gottgetreu said. Because the former Rite-Aid location is con- sidered a retail location, any new retail businesses wanting to use that space as such wouldn’t be sub- ject to the same level of planning that a new build- ing or new use would. In 2015 O’Reilly Auto Parts submitted a plan to build a retail parts location with frontage on N. Water, C and Front streets. Its pro- posed plan was denied be- cause the Planning Com- mission declared it didn’t meet designed standards based on the city’s code. “They received a sub- jective review because they wanted to deviate from code standards,” Gottgetreu said. “Our code standards require windows on all street frontages and it didn’t meet that standard.” The decision was ap- pealed, albeit with design modifications that includ- ed landscaping in lieu of windows, and was again denied. However, in late 2015 a new design was submitted and approved and construction will be- gin this year. There are objective standards within the city code and if a developer meets those standards, the city cannot deny building permits, howev- er it can send the applica- tion to the Silverton Plan- ning Commission. This was done with both the 93- unit Silver Place Apart- ments and the 20-unit farmworker housing pro- jects last year. “They both could have been approved at a staff level, but I decided to send these to the planning commission because of the intensity of the use.” Even if a business ap- plication is approved, the service development charges the city requires can be substantial. The SDCs are based on the amount of traffic a busi- ness generates and are part of an engineering formula, not subjective. The former Rite-Aid loca- tion was approved for 300 visits per day. If a new re- tail business moves in and has similar traffic, the SDC charges will be low- er than a business that comes in and will gener- ate 400 trips per day. “If they decide not to do it, a lot of it has to do with the costs of the pro- ject,” Gottgeteu said. “They may have decided it wasn’t worth the cost, but it wasn’t a denial on the city’s part.” We Are Here to Help Answer All Your Questions! Who do I call fi rst? When a death is unexpected and a person is not on hospice, nor in a licensed care facility, your fi rst phone call may be to the funeral home. However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and notify the police for you. Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral director. No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after the fi rst 24 hours of death.

Cleary’s books have earned many awards, in- cluding the 2003 National Medal of Art from the Na- tional Endowment of the Arts and the 1984 John Newbery Medal for “Dear Mr. Henshaw.” “Ramona and Her Fa- ther” and “Ramona Quimby, Age 8” were named 1978 and 1982 Newbery Honor Books, respectively. Among Mrs. Cleary’s other awards are the American Library Asso- ciation’s 1975 Laura In- galls Wilder Award, the Catholic Library Associ- ation’s 1980 Regina Med- al, and the University of Southern Mississippi’s 1982 Silver Medallion, all presented in recognition of her lasting contribu- tion to children’s litera- ture.
