PUBLIC NOTICES
POLICY
Auto-theft
victims,
who can face steep tow-
ing and storage fees to get
their stolen vehicles
back, would get some
help under legislation be-
ing considered in Oregon.
Two other bills would
further restrict private
property impound tows,
also known as “predatory
towing.”
“This is a pretty high
complaint area,” Cheryl
Hiemstra, deputy legisla-
tive director for the state
Department of Justice
told the Senate Judiciary
Committee March 21.
Oregon’s
Attorney
General is supporting the
legislation.
Amendments
have
been proposed to all three
bills, and further revi-
sions are expected.
In general, the bills
and proposed amend-
ments would:
» Allow law enforce-
ment agencies to provide
towing companies with
contact information for
owners of recovered ve-
hicles. Towers currently
get that information from
the Department of Motor
Vehicles, which can take
days and lead to steep
storage fees.
» Allow owners of re-
covered stolen vehicles
that are considered to-
taled to surrender their
title to the tower and walk

A Silverton man sus-
pected of playing a role in
several burglaries and
vehicle thefts in north
Marion County was ar-
rested March 21, accord-
ing to officials.
Matthew
Stephen
Goldsby, 28, was found
hiding in a compartment
inside a trailer after Mar-
ion County Sheriff’s Of-
fice responded to a tip
that Goldsby had been liv-

streamed footage from
all the balloons so view-
ers can seamlessly watch
the eclipse from the air as
it travels from coast to
coast. On the ground, any-
one in the 70-mile-wide
“path of totality” starting
in Oregon and ending in
South Carolina will expe-
rience total darkness for
about 2 minutes as the
moon’s shadow fully
blocks the sun.
A latecomer to the
NASA project, Silverton
High’s team of roughly 25
students, led by four
teachers, is working
quickly to catch up with
other teams – most of
them on college campus-
es – throughout the coun-
try that have assembled
and launched test bal-
loons. In November, Sil-
verton secured its $8,000
kit, an extra originally
given to Linn-Benton
Community College.
ing in a
travel trail-
er on the
2900 block
of
the
Crooked
Goldsby
Finger
Road NE,
outside of Scott’s Mills.
He
was
arrested
around 9 p.m. without in-
cident.
Goldsby was the pri-
mary suspect in multiple
burglaries
throughout
Marion County, including
the burglary of Silver
Falls Pawn shop in Silver-
ton and the personal prop-
erty theft of two individ-
uals, according to Marion
County
information
statements.
He was captured on
video at several locations
after they had been bur-
glarized, according to the
Marion County Sheriff’s
Office.
Goldsby is facing: one
count of aggravated
theft, two counts of first-
degree theft, two counts
of second-degree theft,
three counts of third-de-
gree theft, one count of
first-degree
burglary,
one count of second-de-
gree burglary, one count
of unlawful use of a vehi-
cle, one count of second-
degree mischief, and two
counts of possession of
heroin.
He is being held in
Marion County Jail with-
out bail. Goldsby is sched-
uled for a court appear-
ance at Circuit Court An-
nex at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The Albany communi-
ty college has kept close
ties with Silverton since
handing over the second
kit, with Helms and his
high schoolers planning
to attend the college’s test
launch at the beginning of
the April, and, hopefully,
launch their own by the
end of it.
“Considering we are
starting one-and-a-half
years after other teams, I
think we are doing pretty
well,” said science teach-
er Emily Perttu.
On the first build day,
March 18, students as-
sembled eight-sided pay-
load boxes, film equip-
ment and a cutting tool
designed to use satellite
communications to sever
the payload from its bal-
loon.
The giant latex balloon
is meant to rise through
the atmosphere until it
explodes; then it will fall
toward earth until the
launch team sends a satel-
lite signal to cut its con-
nection to the payload.
They must figure out how
fast the payload will fall –
it can weigh up to 12.5
pounds – and cut the con-
nection at the perfect mo-
ment. Too soon, and it
could “float all the way to
Mt. Hood,” said Perttu.
Too late, and the para-
chute can’t adequately
slow its decent.
“The biggest calcula-
tion is going to be how
fast it will fall – and when
to cut the cord,” said math
teacher Natasha Belia-
koff.
Getting it right and be-
ing able to recover the
payload means Silverton
High gets to keep the
equipment in the boxes.
They must return the
ground station to NASA.
It’s basically a white dish
on a tripod, designed to
receive data from the bal-
loon as it rises.
High school senior Ga-
vin Owings was part of
the team that built the
cutting tool Saturday. His
lifelong fascination with
space propelled him to
volunteer for the build
team, and he’s enjoying
the work so far. His ca-
reer goal is to become an
aerospace engineer.
“The best part about
this is that NASA didn’t
give us baby-step instruc-
tions. They are letting us
work through the prob-
lems and figure out
things on our own,” Ow-
ings said.
In addition to the “big”
test launch, in the coming
months Silverton High’s
team will also launch mini
balloons at six or seven
other Silver Falls schools
to generate interest and
excitement over the final
launch in August.
These smaller helium-
filled balloons will rise
just several thousand feet
but will give younger stu-
dents an idea about how
the final project will
work.
“When we go to each
school, we’re going to
take a recent graduate
from that school with us,”
Helms said. So far, six
high schoolers have
agreed to accompany
teachers and serve as
representatives for the
launches.
Younger students can
also learn more at the
first district-wide STEM
(science, technology, en-
gineering and math) Day
at the high school on May
4. It will focus on the
eclipse
and
balloon
launch but will also offer
activities for students
and a chance for kids to
meet professionals who
work in STEM industries,
said teacher Clarissa Bay.
Silverton’s High’s final
balloon launch Aug. 21 is
expected to attract view-
ers from far beyond the
Silverton area, Bay said.
Because the launch will
occur
one-and-a-half
hours before the eclipse,

it’s one more event tour-

the big day.
Administrators moved
the team’s launch from
the football stadium at
the old high school on
Schlador Street to the
sports fields at the new
campus on Pine Street to
offer additional parking
for the community and
out-of-towners.
And teachers have al-
ready ordered 5,000 pairs
of eclipse safety glasses –
emblazoned with the Sil-
verton Fox – which will be
sold onsite for $1 or $2.
Art student Johannes
Brady designed a Fox-
themed launch logo,
which James Dahl, a stu-
dent in the Basic Skills
program, helped turn into
a T-shirt that’s available
for sale.
“Everything we are
doing, we are trying to
make it as K-12 inclusive
as possible,” Helms said.
Now in the construc-
tion phase, the project’s
work belongs almost ex-
clusively to the build
team: Darren Buckley,
Andrea Fernando Cam-
pos, Abby Gisler, Mat-
thew McWhorter, Jason
Orr, Gavin Owings, Isaac
Rush and Sebastian Rogg.
Documenting and pro-
moting the process is the
journalism team: Alexa
Hall, Abigail Koch, Brian
Sung and Ben Valoff.
Next, the launch team
will take over. They are:
Steven Bates, Hannah
Brown, Nathan Capiner,
Nate Edmonds, Carolina
Gaspar, John Wayne Mi-
chael Jr., Brigitta Seifer
and Alejandra Vazques-
Trejo.
Chasing down the bal-
loon’s payload after the
launch will be Isabelle
Doan, Amber Fairbairn,
Sam
Miller,
Derek
Schmaltz, Amelia Under-
hill and Ben Amsden.
Unsurprisingly, stu-
dents are sharing tasks
and filling multiple roles
as the project moves for-
ward. And now, as an add-
ed perk, the Oregon Insti-
tute of Technology is of-
fering them a summer
course that will generate
college credit for the
work they’re already do-
ing, if they choose to en-
roll.
“This project is great
opportunity,” Helms said.
“NASA didn’t send us
step-by-step IKEA in-
structions. Students have
to problem-solve and fig-
ure things out. That’s ex-
tremely valuable.”
