WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2016 APPEAL TRIBUNE Contest Continued from Page 1A them so special!” According to several news sources in Indiana, Wabash won by about 10,000 votes. More than 150 people gathered at Mac’s Place in downtown Silverton to await news of the contest winner. Disappointed, but proud, is the way Silverton Chamber of Commerce Exec- utive Director Stacy Palmer described reactions to hearing the news. While the city hoped for a lucrative victory, it did pull together and work hard in its campaign effort. The contest hit a crescendo during the week as people were invited to go on- line and vote for their favorite city be- tween the two finalists — with a half mil- lion dollars for downtown revitalization at stake. “I want to congratulate Wabash for its win and for its kind words toward Sil- verton,” Palmer said. “Although our towns are miles apart, what we have in common is supportive community members and people who understand the challenges of being a business own- er in a small community. “I think every small town business owner in America should pay attention to how Deluxe Corporation will assist Wabash, and I think we can all learn something we can implement in our own SPECIAL TO THE STAYTON MAIL Don and Sue Harteloo own and operate Postal Connections in Silverton and Stayton. JUSTIN MUCH STAYTON MAIL Postal Connections recognized local franchise owners Don and Sue Harteloo for their participation in a month-long donation drive geared toward support- ing military personnel stationed over- seas. The Harteloos, who own and operate Postal Connections in Silverton and Stayton, are taking part in the drive that is gathering items to send a surprise care package to military members spe- cifically stationed at a U.S. Air Force base in Kuwait, according to Bailey He- witt, spokeswoman for All Points PR in- formation service. It is part of the desig- nation of May as Military Appreciation Month. The drive continues through the end of the month. The care package includes a variety of items, including healthy snacks and drinks, non-perishable and microwava- ble food, toiletries and various other treats welcomed as a piece of home for those serving abroad. Military personnel “work diligently to protect our country day-in and day- out, and sometimes without the every- day essentials that they’re used to,” said Fred Morache, Postal Connections chief operating officer. “In honor of Military Appreciation Month, we wanted to rec- ognize our military members by sur- prising them with those comforts from home.” For online information about the drive, visit www.facebook.com/Postal ConnectionsInc, or visit Postal Connec- tions in Silverton, www.pca233.com, or Stayton, www.pca146.com. $PHULFD·VYRLFH communities. I am excited to see what’s next for Wabash.” While Wabash took the contest’s prize, Silverton may have been a winner in other ways – such as gaining fame from the process. “With the summer months around the corner and a host of activities hap- pening in Silverton and Mount Angel, I am eager to see if we have more visitors to the area because of the free publicity Silverton received from participating in this contest,” Palmer said. “Just hav- ing more visitors to town to shop at our shops, eat at our restaurants and partici- pate in activities such as Homer Days or the Silverton Art Fair is good for our town.” The chamber director said that while Silverton didn’t win a half-million dol- lars, its lofty showing underscores the talented people in town who can lend ad- vice on topics, including marketing, public relations, merchandising and business promotion. “I know from talking to many people that it was a challenge for some people to ask everyone they knew to vote for Silverton,” she said. “I hope what this contest shows is all we need to do is ask for assistance when we are working to achieve a goal. What this experience has taught me, is if you ask, people will help you out.” jmuch@StatesmanJournal.com or 503-769-6338, cell 503-508-8157 or follow at twitter.com/justinmuch Canadian Music Awards.
