2A Wednesday, February 22, 2017 Appeal Tribune TV Continued from Page 1A those watching cable channel 15, SCAN- TV. Real-world experience is the promise and practical outcome for dozens of Sil- verton High students who work for Sil- verton’s community access channel. In a small town with no commercial TV news stations of its own, SCAN-TV gives teen- agers the jobs reserved for adults in many other communities. Of the nine community media centers in the Willamette Valley – CCTV in Salem perhaps being the most well known – SCAN-TV boasts a unique level of inte- gration with a high school. It employs a cadre of teenagers who cover games, concerts, plays, city council meeting, traveling onsite to make recordings, ed- iting in the lab and broadcast live. “Our kids are getting some of the ex- periences that they would get in a profes- sional environment,” said Drew Hinds, new technology director for Silver Falls School District. “We try to bring a stu- dent along on every project.” “We try to get to know every student, and once we know what they want to do, we try to help them do it,” said Abby Ben- nett, SCAN-TV’s multimedia assistant and a Silverton alumna. You can’t dig very far into SCAN-TV’s history without running into Gary Mar- shall, who retired as the district’s tech- nology director last summer. An educa- tor, entrepreneur and father of 11, Mar- shall was hired away from Woodburn 20 years ago to coordinate technology for the newly unified Silver Falls School Dis- trict. “I started with a folding table and a laptop computer,” Marshall said. “They were looking for someone who could get the networks and emails set up.” Marshall immediately started bring- ing high school students on board to re- pair computers and learn tech work, just as he’d done in Woodburn. His efforts grew to become what’s now know as the TAP, or Technology Assistant Program, where high school students earn class credit while fixing computers and net- work issues in the district’s 13 schools. His son, Daniel, now graduated, man- ages the program’s help desk, pairing students with ticket items they’re qual- ified to fix. “I have always enjoyed kids, so it’s natural for me to want to bring kids on board,” Marshall said. In 2005, Marshall had another idea for hands-on technology training: Silver- ton’s local TV station. Nationwide, public access TV was created almost 40 years ago in FCC rulemaking. Since then, the laws have changed; now each city de- cides whether to use some of the fran- chise fees it collects for public access programming or for general expenses. Silverton opted for public access pro- gramming. For years, Silverton Togeth- er operated SCAN-TV out of the commu- nity center. It covered city council meet- ings with one static camera and often broadcast a bulletin slideshow. Marshall couldn’t help but wonder how a handful of trained, committed teenagers could breath new life into the programming. “I told the City of Silverton, ‘What I’ve done with students with computers, I can do with video,’” Marshall said. City leaders finally agreed; they made a $20,000 contribution for new equipment and allowed SCAN-TV to be moved from the community center to the high school. From there, Marshall devel- oped a training program and staff where PHOTOS BY CHRISTENA BROOKS/SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL TRIBUNE Junior Aidan Cook and Abby Bennett prepare to broadcast the Foxes’ home game against Central High School. JJunior Gabe Thompson works for SCAN-TV in the stands. students could work for the station, earn- ing class credit or, if the work occurred after school hours, minimum wage. Funding comes from the city, high school, technology funds and income from selling DVDs of a variety of events. Eight adults and two part-time employ- ees who are high schoolers – Jessica Lundquist and Matthew McWhorter – keep the technology department and the PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Preliminary Determination for Water Right Transfer T-12232 T-12232 filed by Kara Hartson Pilcher Revocable Living Trust or Gregory Eugene Pilcher Revocable Living Trust, PO Box 1680, Silverton, OR 97381, proposes a change in character of use under Certificate 31501 and a change in point of diversion, place of use and character of use under Certificate 31503.

And it’s true. The 23-year-old can often be found after hours, teaching high school staff to run cameras and equipment wherever they’re working. In her first six months on the job, she’s managed to train stu- dents like Aidan Cook to set up all for a game – one of the most complex record- ing jobs – on their own. “It’s an inductive learning environ- ment … we are dealing with problem- solving scenarios every day,” Hinds said. The whole technology wing of the high school building was designed around this kind of collaborative learn- ing. Marshall made specific requests about the space’s layout, including clear views from his – now Hind’s – office into the student computer lab and TV studio and common area. Mixing students with the tech department’s daily work was never far from his mind. “The jobs they are doing are very real. This kind of work is everywhere. You need someone to video, and you need someone to edit … I’ve had a number of students go get good jobs after working here.” Bennett, 23, is one of the success sto- ries. After serving as SCAN-TV program manager, the job now held by Lundquist, she graduated and eventually took a job doing marketing for an investment firm in Salem, working there until Marshall recruited her back to oversee all the stu- dents who do the station’s day-to-day work. “She’s naturally gifted at organization kids,” Marshall said. “I knew she’d be perfect for the job.” SCAN-TV offers small-group learn- ing to students who decide to take the class, which is offered every period of every day. Often Bennett can be found working one-on-one with a student, fig- uring out how to do something in Pre- mier, video editing software, or any of the other programs in Adobe Creative Cloud’s lineup. Students have access to four digital video cameras, the TriCaster and a full recording studio, depending on their interest and skill level. Pastor P.O. Box 13009 Salem, OR 97309 Continued from Page 1A jail and three years of probation, the conditions of which included orders to have no contact with mi- nors, undergo sex offender treatments and stay away from areas frequented by children. He was undergoing sex offender treatment the same time he was sexually abusing the teen, accord- ing to court records. “As a youth pastor, he was in a position of author- ity, which he leveraged to manipulate this victim into the inappropriate relationship,” Deputy District At- torney Brendan Murphy wrote in a sentencing mem- orandum. He also pointed to allegations of non-consensual sex and the extended time period of the abuse. “Despite having over two years to reflect on the fact he was married, a father and leader within his church, (Stutzman) continued to engage in repeated escapades with a minor girl,” he wrote. The website for the Silverton-based A.C.T.S. Min- istry listed Stutzman as one of the church’s leaders. The ministry’s Facebook page promoted teen-orient- ed events such as hikes at Silver Falls, concerts and outreach in downtown Portland. His proximity to teens concerned some local par- ents, who recalled evening trips to Portland and late- night excursions their teens had attended with Stutz- man. Following his arrest, Stutzman was taken to Mar- ion County jail and held on $100,000 bail. He was re- leased on bail July 5. In a notice filed in Marion County, Murphy stated Stutzman had shown a disregard for laws, violated public trust and his incarceration was necessary for public safety. Stutzman pleaded guilty to all 10 counts on Friday. In addition to his prison term, Stutzman was sen- tenced to three years of post-prison supervision and ordered to register as a sex offender.
