Music, sausage and more on
tap at this year’s Wurstfest
CHRISTENA BROOKS
SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL TRIBUNE
MT. ANGEL - Six
wines, six beers and 19
sausages.
Don’t worry, no one
was counting what you
ate at Oktoberfest last
fall. That’s the menu at
Wurstfest, the upcoming
indoor celebration of the
German sausage and the
indomitable
Bavarian
culture surrounding it.
The ninth annual
Wurstfest starts at Mt.
Angel’s Festhalle at 10
a.m. Friday, Feb. 24 and
ends at 10 p.m. Saturday,
Feb. 25. Adult admission
is $5, or $10 with a spe-
cialty beer stein. People
under 21, who must be ac-
companied by an adult,
get in free.
Three restaurants –
Mt. Angel Sausage Com-
pany, Ebner’s Custom
Meats, and the Urban
German Grill will be serv-
ing everything from tradi-
tional bratwurst to mod-
ern currywurst. On tap is
beer by Seven Brides
Brewing, Warsteiner and
Budweiser, and guests can
choose from an array of
German and American
wines, too.
New to Wurstfest’s
stage this year is Doppel-
bach Quartet, a five-piece
band of accordion, guitar,
drums, saxophone and
bass. The musicians play a
combination of Oktober-
fest polkas, waltzes, yo-
dels and non-traditional
blues and boogie. They’ll
be joined by regulars, the
Bavarian Echoes, Z Mu-
sikmakers and Oregon
Polka Beats.
The Engelberg Danc-
ers and Kinder Dancers
will round out the enter-
tainment, and a dozen arti-
sans and craftspeople will
be selling food, crafts, cos-
Wurstfest is slated to begin
at 10 a.m. on Feb. 24.
tumes and jewelry.
Operated by Mt. Angel
Library, the popular kin-
dergarten corner will fea-
ture a number of child-
centered activities such as
face painting, soap carv-
ing and balloon modeling.
There’s also story time,
coloring and a free book
giveaway for every child.
While it’s unlikely
you’ll be tackling 19 sau-
sages alone, you might still
want to work up an appe-
tite for the festival’s culi-
nary offerings.

Several councilors
said they favor adding
a local fuel tax because
it shifts part of the fi-
nancial
burden
of
maintaining
city
streets onto tourists
and those who drive Sil-
verton’s roads the
most.
“In all cases, a con-
sumption tax is the fair-
est; it burdens the peo-
ple who actually cause
the damage,” said
Councilor Kyle Palmer.
Along with slurry

throughout the city

the city is moving to-

McClaine Street. It re-
quires storm drains, a
total roadbed rebuild
and new asphalt; the
multifaceted project
will cost more than $1
million, Saxe said.
“McClaine Street is
falling apart,” said
Councilor Jim Sears,
“If we don’t deal with
the storm drains when
we repair the road,
we’re going to have to
spend more money in
the long run … It’s go-

vate schools, preschools,
Head Start and certified
child care facilities must
have up-to-date documen-
tation on their immuniza-
tions or have an exemp-
tion.
“Immunization is the
best way to protect chil-
dren against vaccine-pre-
ventable diseases such as
whooping cough and mea-
sles,” said Stacy de Assis
Matthews of the Oregon
Health Authority. “It helps
keep schools and the en-
tire community safe and
healthy.”
In 2016, local health de-
partments sent 41,045 let-
ters to parents and guard-
ians informing them that
their children needed im-
munizations to stay in
school or child care, ac-
cording to the health au-
thority. A total of 6,995
children were kept out of
school or child care until
the necessary immuniza-
tion information was
turned in.
The history of immuni-
zations in Oregon changed
in 2015 with the passing of
Senate Bill 895.
Under the bill, religious
exemptions signed prior
to March 1, 2014, were no
longer valid. Parents are
now required to turn in
documentation of immu-
nization or complete a new
process for a nonmedical
exemption prior to Exclu-
sion Day.
Additionally, schools
and children’s facilities
are required to have im-
munization and exemp-
tion rates available at the
main offices, on a website,
and for parents on paper
or electronic format.
When it comes to non-
medical exemption rates
for K-12 students in 2015-
16, Marion County had a
rate of 3.1 percent and
Polk County had a rate of 4
percent. These rates com-
pare to the Oregon rate of
4.1 percent.

In other business at
the Feb. 6 meeting, the
council:
» Approved the Tour-
ism Promotion Commit-
tee’s proposal to spend
up to $22,000 to light 22
trees along Main, Oak
and Water streets with
LED bulbs. The city will
fund the installation of
the removable lights on
the European horn-
beams, repaying its gen-
eral fund with transient
occupancy tax collec-
tions at a rate of $5,000
per year.
» Voted to expand Sil-
verton’s Urban Renewal
District to include the
MillTown Pub and a
number of properties in
the North First Street
area. Formed in 2004,
the special district re-
ceives a portion of all
property taxes levied in-
side it. Landowners don’t
experience a change;
rather, the district re-
ceives a portion of the
monies already slated to
be collected, to be spent
on rehabilitation pro-
jects by the Urban Re-
newal Agency, until it
expires in 2024.
» Agreed to pay the
Oregon Department of
Revenue to collect Sil-
verton’s 3 percent tax on
marijuana sales rather
than requiring city staff
to do so. Silverton has
one dispensary, Lucky
Leaf, on Oak Street, and
the taxes it pays won’t be
made public, in keeping
with state law.

in either Marion or Polk
counties, coming in at 44
percent.
Bill Conlon, the in-
terim director of the
school, said Dallas Com-
munity School primarily
serves
home-schooled
children.
Conlon said roughly 40
students are on site each
week out of the 156 total
enrolled.
It is common knowl-
edge among the commu-
nity that many parents
are opposed to vaccina-
tions, he said, and the re-
quirements may be one
of the reasons those par-
ents decided to home
school.
If children are sick,
Conlon said, like any oth-
er school, they request
the child stay home. If
the child is sick at school,
they contact the parents
to take them home as
soon as possible, which
he said is easier with the
school’s model and par-
ent agreements than tra-
ditional schools can be.
Parents seeking im-
munizations for their
children can contact
their health care provid-
er or local health depart-
ment, or call 211Info —
just dial 211 — or go to
211info.org.
No one can be turned
away from a local health
department because of
the inability to pay for
required vaccines, ac-
cording to the release.
Many pharmacists can
immunize children age 7
and older.

tion on school immuniza-
tions can be found at
