SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL TRIBUNE
Ben Piper, Wilbur Ellis branch manager, presents a check for
$5,000 to Don Robison, FBYC executive director. Ben was
joined by lawncare expert Mike Damann, also of
Wilbur-Ellis.

Crucial to that service are the FBYC grounds and
outdoor spaces. Visitors typically arrive Friday eve-
ning and stay through Sunday at the retreat center
and participate in lessons and programs aimed at
helping them grow in their spiritual lives.
“Providing youth a chance to blow off energy is
key to obtaining their attention for the next set of in-
structions,” said Emma Seiler, FBYC’s programs co-
ordinator. “We try to build up the entire person: body,
soul and spirit, whether we are putting on the pro-
gram or simply playing host for a group’s own pro-
gram.”
A portion of the grant will afford added drainage
in the main back lawn where, ironically, Robison said
the Wilbur-Ellis check presentation took place atop a
spongy surface. He noted that the lawn is already
very soft and holding water that could easily drain
off with the addition of tiles and drain veins toward
the bluff.
“We are excited we may focus on making our out-
door spaces even better for retreats in the future,”
said Mark Dol, FBYC’s day-to-day operations and fa-
cilities manager. “Young people in particular need
open spaces where they can burn off energy and rec-
reate together, allowing their minds to become more
open to any lessons or activities to follow.”
Robison said FBYC is an independent Catholic
Lay Ministry serving in the Archdiocese of Portland.
It receives no direct funding from the Archdiocese
or any other entity. About a third of its $350,000 bud-
get is derived from program fees, while donors to
provide for the balance of its financial needs.
“We are a volunteer and donor-supported organi-
zation” Robison said, “We have a small staff, still less
than before the economic disasters of 2008, but could
do none of this without the prayers and support of
our network of volunteers and benefactors.
“We are excited and very thankful for the gift
from Wilbur-Ellis and look forward to a lasting part-
nership with them to develop young people,” he add-
ed. “Please thank a farmer, nurseryman or Wilbur-
Ellis employee…It truly takes a village to raise a
child. In this case, it takes a village to keep a place
like Fr. Bernard Youth Center open and available so
that they may come.”

How-
ard
Vin-
cent Wurd-
inger Jr.,
of Scotts
Mills, was
born in Sa-
lem
to
Howard
Sr. and Mary Wurdinger.
He graduated from
Woodburn High School in
1984, and after obtaining
a barbering license from
Moler Barber College, he
began working in Febru-
ary 1985 at Hair of Today
barbershop in Canby. In
February 2015 he was
forced to retire due to a
brain tumor.
Generations of fam-
ilies faithfully came into
the traditional barber-
shop to see Howard, who
sported a handlebar mus-
tache, a friendly smile,
lively conversation and
of course great haircuts.
With similar rapport, he
served on the Scotts Mills
city council.
Howard Jr. was an
avid outdoorsman. He
guided Dall sheep hunt-
ers in Alaska and went
hunting and fishing with
brothers, sisters, fam-
ilies and friends. Howard
Jr. was also an excellent
trapper. He enthusiasti-
cally taught his outdoor
skills to youngsters and
actively participated in
the Canby Rod and Gun
Club.
On March 22, 2003, he
married the love of his
life, Gloria Murray. How-
ard and Gloria explored
Oregon, enjoyed camp-
ing, hiking, identifying
and photographing wild-
flowers, picking huckle-
berries and clamming. At
home, they liked garden-
ing and landscaping.
Howard often took pro-
duce and dahlias to the
church next door on Sun-
day mornings.
Always available to
lend a helping hand,
Howard will be greatly
missed as an exceptional
friend, brother, son, un-
cle, son-in-law, and hus-
band.
He is survived by his
loving wife, Gloria; moth-
er Mary Wurdinger of
Mt. Angel; brothers An-
thony (Karen) of Mt An-
gel, Walter of Silverton,
Jeffery (Marlene) of
Gervais, and Sidney (An-

Help with taxes
Tax time cometh, and
that also means some
hard-working area resi-
dents may need some help
preparing their tax docu-
ments.
Steve Hochspeier re-
minded us that a free tax
services will once again
be available through
AARP Foundation’s Tax-
Aide program at the Sil-
verton Senior Center, 115
Westfield St. Steve, who is
the Salem Tax-Aide dis-
trict coordinator, said
3,600 Salem-area families
benefited from the ser-
vice last year to the tune
of $3.5 million dollars in
refunds.
But many families
were turned away.
Why? Because of a
shortage of volunteers.
So Steve encourages
local folks to evoke a mot-
to: “Work your Mind,
Warm your Heart” is
AARP Foundation’s cur-
rent Tax-Aide slogan.
Help your neighbors and
those who need tax-filing
help the most: low to mod-
erate income people, es-
pecially those 60 and old-
er.
How can you help?
The roles range widely
and include interpreters,
preparers, paperwork or-
ganizers and the like. No
previous experience is
necessary; volunteers are
trained and certified
through the AARP Foun-
dation in cooperation with
the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice and the Oregon De-
partment of Revenue.
“The bottom line is, we
are looking for volunteers
now to be trained for the
upcoming tax season Feb-
ruary through April,”
Steve said. “Training oc-
curs in January. No expe-
rience needed. Without
additional volunteers, we
cannot adequately serve
the communities.
“We foresee a need of
over 500 families each in
Silverton and Stayton that
could use our service. Be-
cause of the lack of volun-
teers we were only able to
help 200 total for the two
communities last year.”

Brush Creek to perform
‘Wonderful Life’ show
CARLEE WRIGHT
STATESMAN JOURNAL
Brush Creek Play-
house presents “It’s a
Wonderful Life — A Radio
Show” through Dec. 4.
A holiday classic, it’s
the story of George Bai-
ley, a man struggling with
the decision to end his life
who receives a visit from
his guardian angel. Fea-
tured as an old-fashioned
radio play, the show will
take you back in time to
the atmosphere of a 1940’s
recording studio.
The actors are in cos-
tume as though they are
radio performers in the
‘40s, said Treasurer Mi-
chael Wood. “It’s really
sort of two plays. ‘It’s a
Wonderful Life’ is operat-
ing in the dialogue, phys-
ical expression and acting
and then there is this play
that is the radio perform-
ers doing their show.”
The adaptation, writ-
ten by Joe Landry, is
based on the screenplay
by Frances Goodrich, Al-
bert Hackett, Frank Ca-
pra and Jo Swerling.
Performances
take
place 2 p.m. today, Nov. 27
and Dec. 4 and 7 p.m. Nov.
25-26 and Dec. 1-3.
Cost is $10 or $8 for
children, students and
seniors. Purchase in ad-
vance at Runaway Art and
Craft Studio, 311Commer-
cial St. NE in Salem, or
Books N Time, 210 N Wa-
ter St., Suite B in Silver-
ton. Tickets are available
at the door 30 minutes pri-
or to each performance.

She was born in Kulm,
North Dakota, on Feb. 1,
1928, to Michael and Wil-
hemina
Geinert,
the
youngest of five children.
Rose was an emergen-
cy room nurse in Minne-
apolis, Minnesota, for sev-
eral years, until marrying
Paul Lindgren on July 23,
1960.
They cared for a num-
ber of foster children un-
til adopting Leland Lind-
gren in 1967.
In addition to raising
her son, Rose also provid-
ed part-time in-home care
to elderly and MS-afflict-
ed patients. She was also a
popular cake decorator
for many years, creating
wedding and celebration
cakes.
She was an avid artist
and crafter, always paint-
ing and creating imagina-
tive items for family and
friends.
Survivors include her
sister Lorraine Ligget of
Erie, Pennsylvania; son
Leland Lindgren of Silver-
ton; grandchildren Eric
Lindgren of Salem and Ar-
ianna Koellmann of Sub-
limity; and two great

taxaide.
Much
Adrienne and her family
decided to leave the hus-
tle and bustle (not to men-
tion traffic) of the Seattle
area for a quieter life in
Silverton, the picturesque
Oregon town where her
husband, Jerod Blom-
gren, grew up. Jerod (Sil-
verton High School class
of ‘95), Adrienne and
youngsters Jack, 13, and
Georgia, 10, packed up
and pushed on down south
and a tad east to the bosom
of the Cascade foothills.
That move ignited
Adrieene’s appreciation
for the Willamette Val-
ley’s pastoral appeal,
which she kindled by ex-
ploring and learning the
history of Silverton’s
backyard treasure, Silver
Falls State Park.
That passion turned
profession in the fall of
2014 when Adrienne ac-
cepted the role of event
manager with the new
concessionaire at Silver
Falls Lodge & Conference
Center where she would
cultivate weddings and
other special events at the
park.
Nicolle noted that dur-
ing this time Adrienne
also began working with
Patrick Fetsch, the cen-
ter’s general manager
who would become her
mentor. Within that role,
she garnered ideas and
approaches to improving
center amenities and ser-
vices, eventually suc-
ceeding Patrick who re-
tired this month.
Given Silver Falls’ sur-
roundings and applying a
designer’s touch to a hos-
pitality position, could
Adrienne
have
been
groomed any better or fit
more perfectly into a
role?

ton and Heidi(Mike) Wil-
liams of Canby.

death by his father, How-
ard Sr.
