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

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 –

TV station running, and train the stu-
dents taking TAP or SCAN-TV as a class
or doing their work for pay.
“We work shoulder-to-shoulder with
them,” Bennett said. 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.

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.
