BUSINESS BRIEF
What started as a
transplanted doctor mov-
ing to Oregon to start a
clinic 10 years ago has
grown to a northwest-
wide business with 17 lo-
cations. Silver Falls Der-
matology is celebrating
its 10-year anniversary
this month.
John Young, M.D., a
New Orleans, Louisiana,
native, moved his family
to Oregon following Hur-
ricane Katrina. Upon
landing in Oregon in 2006,
Young founded Silver
Falls Dermatology in a ti-
ny Silverton office.
“It’s been quite a ride,”
Young said.
The business now has
17 locations, including its
newest in Farmington,
New Mexico. The remain-
ing locations are in Ore-
gon and Washington.
Silver Falls Dermatol-
ogy added an allergy de-
partment to the practice
in 2015.

Despite a year that has
seen near normal precip-
itation, Detroit Lake nev-
er reached its full conser-
vation pool of 1563.5 feet
because of an abnormally
dry spring. The reservoir
does the bulk of its filling
during the spring.
Flood control is the pri-
mary purpose of Detroit
Lake — the reservoir
must maintain enough
space during winter to ab-
sorb a “100 year storm
event” like the floods of
1964 and 1996.
At the same time, since
2008, the Corps have been
required to release a cer-
tain amount of water for
threatened spring Chi-
nook and winter steelhead
in the Willamette Basin.

“We have required
flows that address the mi-
gration, spawning, incu-
bation and rearing life cy-

fisheries biologist and
program manager for the
Corps, told the Statesman

Journal in May. “Histori-
cally, we didn’t have these
requirements, but they
are now mandated.”
Recreation, by con-
trast, isn’t a top priority
for the Corps.
“The frustration is un-
derstandable,” said Mi-
chelle Helms, public af-
fairs specialist for the
Corps. “We’ve been very
conservative with our re-
leases, but we have to
meet the minimum re-
quirements for fish con-
servation.”

crashes on these road-
ways, but they generally
pertained to speed or fail-
ing to obey a traffic con-
trol device like a stop sign.
That is why the mobile
billboard will have sever-
al messages addressing
driving behavior that re-
sults in injury or death.”
Those billboards are
part of the campaign. The
partners have been col-
laborating over the year
to determine effective
ways to reach rural com-
munities and travelers.
The campaign is designed
to be mobile, hence avail-
able to areas where adver-
tisement is not available.
The message is clear.
“The danger comes
with limited visibility and
the size ratio of equip-
ment vs. car,” Baldridge
stressed. “We ask motor-
ists to slow down, be
aware and if you are going
to pass please make sure
you have ample room to
do so.”
The sheriff’s office
will position mobile bill-
boards along heavily trav-
eled
country
roads
throughout the summer to
remind drivers to safely
share the road with farm
equipment. The mobile
display will also be sta-
tioned at a variety of
events, such as the Ore-
gon State Fair.
“Marion County Sher-
iff’s Office is pleased to
partner with Papé Ma-
chinery and (state agri-
culture proponents) to de-
liver this potentially life-
saving message,” said
Sgt. Jason Hickam, the
county’s Community Re-
source Unit supervisor.
“The billboard is a re-
minder for our residents
and visitors to drive safe-
ly on our rural roadways,
additionally the mobility
of the banner gives us the
opportunity to reach mo-
torists where otherwise
there are no means to ad-
vertise our safety mes-
sage.”
Additionally, farmers
and ranchers are urged to
visit Papé Machinery Ag
& Turf locations and pick
up signs to post on fence
lines, reminding motor-
ists to slowdown and drive
cautiously when sharing
the road with farm equip-
ment.

Ethics
Continued from Page 1A
E Excavating was appar-
ently limited to emails
with Supt. Andy Bellando.
The other six board
members were included
in White’s group emails to
the superintendent, but
joining the online conver-
sation would’ve violated
state law requiring such
discussion to occur in
public, said member Ron
Valoff. He said he expect-
ed White to raise topic at
this month’s meeting and
was shocked to learn a
complaint had been filed
June 15.
Valoff said White’s call
for transparency was
“hypocritical,” consider-
ing he didn’t ever publicly
air his complaint.
Board member Ervin
Stadeli went further, call-
ing for White to be cen-
sured: “I think you are a li-
ability to the district and
to the school board,” he
said. “I don’t want to be as-
sociated with this.”
White filed the com-
plaint after groundbreak-
ing on the biggest project
in the history of Silverton
High School’s booster
club. The Silver Fox Foun-
dation is installing a $1
million artificial turf foot-
ball field at McGinnis
Field with the help of
$50,000 grant from USA
Football and sizeable
community donations.
Major donor K &E Ex-
cavating began work in
early June, turf installa-
tion is scheduled to start
this week, and the goal is
to finish in time for the
first home football game,
said foundation president
Rick Schmidt.

of probation, the condi-
tions of which included or-
ders to have no contact
with minors, undergo sex
offender treatments and
stay away from areas fre-
quented by children.
Court documents did not
White said he grew
concerned after a com-
munity member asked for
fill dirt from the project.
He learned some dump
trucks had taken fill to
Roth’s property 2 miles
away. Excavators on pub-
lic and private projects
often deliver dirt free of
charge to the nearest
available recipient. In this
case, that recipient was a
board member.
White didn’t like it.
“How come Tim gets
all that dirt?” he said.
“Just on the face of that, it
doesn’t look good … I see
the dirt as district proper-
ty.”
In emails to White, Bel-
lando didn’t agree. Be-
cause the turf project is a
private venture, contrac-
tors didn’t have to treat
the dirt as “surplus prop-
erty,” and offer it to the
general public, he said.
“This project is on a
short timeline, Tim had
property nearby, and he
did the district a favor,”
added Wally Lierman,
new board chair.
After the meeting,
Roth commented, “The
Fox Foundation needed a
place to dispose of the
dirt, and I had a place
within 2 miles. It was
nothing to do with me be-
ing a board member … I
was just trying to help
out.”
Rather than seeing the
dirt as a “gift” – which
Oregon law requires pub-
lic officials to keep under
$50 per year if they’re
“from any single source
that could reasonably be
known to have a legisla-
tive or administrative in-
terest” – a majority of
board members said they
see the dirt as a liability.
Tom Buchholz was the
only board member to
give White’s complaint
any public merit. He said
he expects nothing to
come of the investigation
but noted, “The public
hates the thought of a
good old’ boy club running
their school district, and
this has the optics of that.”
The fill dirt complaint
is in “preliminary re-
view,” said Oregon Gov-
ernment Ethics Commis-
sion Ron Bersin. The deci-
sion whether or not to
launch an investigation
will occur at the commis-
sion’s Aug. 12 meeting in
Salem.
In other business at the
July 11 meeting, the
school board:
» Moved closer to pur-
chasing a 1-acre parcel of
property on Grant Street
by authorizing Bellando
to negotiate a price with
the longtime owners’
daughter, Lori Douglas.
Adding the property to
the high school campus
could expand parking,
board members noted.
» Heard from a new
booster club, Silverton
Friends of Music, formed
to support and advocate
for music education in Sil-
verton’s public schools.
After
sharing
each
school’s music offering,
President Sarah Weitz-
man asked the board to
consider centralizing its
music budget and man-
dating music at every
school. In addition to
Weitzman, the group’s
board of directors com-
prises Jon Fronza, Heath-
er Pilkington, Lainie Pip-
er and Amanda Petrik.
» Voted 5-2 to approve
a memorandum of under-
standing with the teach-
ers union that includes a
“compensation
opt-in
model,” an alternative
pay structure.
specify whether he had to
register as a sex offender,
and a search for his name
in Oregon’s sex offender
registry yielded no re-
sults. During his investi-
gation, Boatner did not
discover any other al-
leged victims. He encour-
aged anyone with infor-
mation to contact the Sil-
verton Police Department
at 503-873-5326.
Following his arrest,
Stutzman’s bail was set at
$100,000. He was released
on bond July 5 and or-
dered to have no contact
with the alleged victim.
His next hearing is sched-
uled for 8:30 a.m. July 21
at the Marion County Cir-
cuit Court Annex.
