unfortunately gunmen going into
schools with high-powered rifles can
just blow door locks right off,” he said.
George consulted with critical
groups, such as the Oregon State Fire
Marshall’s Office and the American Dis-
ability Act representatives, to ensure
that S.O.S. works within the codes. He
said he’s received thumps up from pub-
lic safety personnel -- police, sheriffs,
fire fighters – with whom he has demon-
strated and discussed the product.
Now he’s trying to share his invention
with school districts, but he said that
part of the journey has been the most dif-
ficult, and he suspects it is due in part to
school budgets.
He stresses that S.O.S. is designed not
just to be effective, but cost effective as
well; equipping a classroom door would
cost about $95.
“To do service to our kids and to our
state, this is something I think should be
looked at,” George said.
He invites anyone who would like to
take a look to visit his RMD website:
www.researchmachinedevelopment.
com. He’s also happy to discuss his pro-
ject and can be reached at 503-874-4188
or via email at rmd988@netzero.com.
Silverton’s Toastmasters
Speaking of…fill in the blanks. The
Silverton chapter of Toastmasters Inter-
national meets from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
each Friday at 7th Day Adventist
Church, 1159 Oak St., Silverton. It’s not
affiliated with the church, but the ac-
commodations at that site fit the group
well.
A couple members of the local Toast-
masters, Barb Rivoli and Cayla Catino,
stopped in to share some insights into the
group. First and foremost – everyone is
welcome. So if you’ve ever thought about
brushing up on speaking and listening
skills or would just like to have a positive
mingling experience, this might be
something to explore.
“I joined Toastmasters not just to pro-
mote my business (Great NW Finds), I
just wanted to become a better speaker
with anyone I’m talking with,” Barb said.
She shared a thought from the local
chapter’s leader Mike Peterson, who
said Toastmasters activity not only
helped him become a better speaker, but
listener – hence, it helped his marriage
as much as it helped his business.
Cayla agreed.
“It’s not just public speaking, its
building confidence and developing lis-
tening and leadership skills,” she said.
Barb said membership comes out to
about $10 per month, but anyone can stop
in on Friday and check it out with no obli-
gations. She encourages anyone who
would like to learn more to visit the local
chapter’s Facebook page, www.face
book.com/silvertontoastmasters. Inter-
ested folks can also email Ann Snelling
at annsnelling@onlinenw.com, to learn
more about the local chapter.

George Yonekura of Stayton is the proprietor
of Research Machine Development, Inc., in
Silverton. George’s growing concerns after
hearing more and more reports of school
shootings nationwide inspired him to invent
“Save Our Students,” a supplemental safety
device designed to secure students within the
classroom during an emergency lock down.
Sharing skills
Toastmasters probably helps Cayla in
a variety of capacities given that she
wears a variety of hats.
During the chat she also informed us
about some updates from Mt. Angel
headquartered North Willamette Valley
Habitat for Humanity, where she is the
12390 Sunnyview Road.
Stay tuned for some more develop-
ments in the making at GeerCrest. To

Michele Finicle regarding a building
project scheduled in Silverton. Cayla
Playhouse

“I love
introducing new
people to theater,
ing archrival and a hunky
ex-boyfriend add drama
to the play’s laugh-out-
loud humor.
Strong said she’s hop-
ing new and seasoned ac-
tors will try out for the
play. This is her first time
directing
for
Brush
Creek, although she as-
sisted with “It’s a Wonder-
ful Life” and starred in
“Love in the Cucumber
Patch” last year.
At auditions, she’s not
expecting actors to speak
with southern accents,
but she is planning do dia-
logue work in rehearsals
to “capture that southern
feel.”
“I hope to have a mix of
actors in this play,” she
said. “I love introducing
new people to theater, and
it’s wonderful for experi-
enced actors to be men-
tors.”

KIMBERLY STRONG
BRUSH CREEK PLAYHOUSE DIRECTOR
Next on the calendar is
the opening of the chil-
dren’s play “The Further
MISadventures of the
Seven Dwarfs,” penned
for Brush Creek by its
treasurer and longtime di-
rector Michael Wood. A
total of 36 children from
Salem, Silverton, Aums-
ville and Mt. Angel will
present the show, which
opens at 7 p.m. on Friday,
Feb. 17. The nine perfor-
mances are basically di-
vided between two full
casts.
Her 21st year directing
Brush Creek’s children’s
program, “Linda handles
it all with a deft touch,”
Wood said. “That is one of
the reasons the kids come
back year after year.”
The tale begins right
after Snow White marries
her handsome prince, and
it follows the adventures
of the Seven Dwarfs as
they get separated and
run across other Brothers
Grimm fairy tale charac-
ters, such as Little Red
Riding Hood, the Three
Little Pigs, and Hansel
and Gretel.
The dwarves sort-of
brought us an update on the non-profit’s
“Sign a Stud” fundraiser going on in Feb-
ruary.
It affords the opportunity to give a do-
nation and write a blessing on a construc-
tion stud. As the name suggests, support-
ing pillars are signed or have messages
of encouragement and support etched
into the project as a forever part of the
new home.
Similar Sign a Stud events have host-
ed volunteers, friends and family of
those participating, local officials and
various habitat advocates.
“Think of it as a giant community
hug,” she described it. “We are looking
for businesses to partner with.”
To learn more, contact Michele at
mfinicle@nwvhfh.org or 503-845-2177 or

Switching to another hat, Cayla helps
direct a variety of activities at Geer-
Crest, which offers summer camps with
a “Farm-Life Experience Week” theme
and will be adding day camps this year,
function as knights er-
rant, wandering the forest
and performing good
deeds,” Wood said. “The
stories weave and inter-
weave through each other
… it’s fun for the audi-
ence, and fun for the
kids.”
Audiences shouldn’t
look for Grumpy or Doc or
Sleepy. Disney has the
rights to those names, and
they aren’t the ones the
Brothers Grimm used in
their 1812 story
anyway. In this play,
they are Ludwig, Otto,
William and Frederick,
etc. The most naïve dwarf
– Henry – will delight chil-
dren and their parents
with the success he finds
due to being good-heart-
ed. The show is 1 hour and
40 minutes long.
Leading up to opening
night, Zellner is rehears-
ing five nights a week, so
that each cast members
can attend at least twice
per week. She is assisted
by Emily Wood, 19, for-
merly one of her child ac-
tors and the new presi-
dent of Brush Creek.
Tickets for “MISad-
ventures” are on sale now
at Books-N-Time in down-
town Silverton and Run-
away Art & Craft Studio in
Salem. They can also be
purchased at the door.
For the first time,
Brush Creek is selling re-
served-seating
rather
than general admission
tickets: “We’re tackling
reserved seating for the
first time,” Wood said.
The cost is the same: $10
for adults and $8 for chil-
dren, seniors and stu-
dents. The playhouse is lo-
cated at 11535 Silverton
Road NE.
Speaking of new developments, Sil-
ver Creek Coffee House proprietors
Joshua and Alisha Nightingale have
put the finishing touches on the upstairs
loft, which is furnished to accommodate
groups or individual work stations.
Another one of their upcoming devel-
opments, “Live Local Marketplace,” is
scheduled to open next door on Friday,
Feb. 3.
“Very unique to Silverton,” Josh de-
scribed it to an inquiring coffee house
customer on Wednesday. It’s designed to
give folks in the general Silverton, Mt.
Angel and Scotts Mills area a brick-and-
mortar locale to vend their wares with a
“Made in Silverton” theme -- a micro
“Made in Oregon” scenario. They envi-
sion products ranging from wine to fresh
produce or including anything from
chocolate to soap.
Local producers of all walks – be it
handmade furniture, gifts, art, crafts,
cheeses, nuts, honey products -- are en-
couraged to contact Joshua: email
livelocalsilverton@gmail.com or stop by
the coffee shop at 111 Water St.
