OBITUARIES
Eleanor Louise Hento
Nov. 10, 1928 — April 1,
2017
Sur-
rounded by
her family,
Eleanor
Louise
(Prouty)
Hento
passed
away peacefully on April
1, 2017 in Keizer.
The
daughter
of
Charles “Chuck” and Stel-
la Prouty, Eleanor was
born in Moscow, Idaho, on
Nov. 10, 1928. Her family
(her parents and three
brothers) lived in Pull-
man, Washington, where
her father was a professor
at Washington State Uni-
versity and her mother
was a homemaker. Elea-
nor graduated from Pull-
man High School in 1946
and then entered Wash-
ington State University,
where she graduated with
a bachelor’s degree in
home economics in 1950.
She was active in the Kap-
pa Kappa Gamma Soror-
ity at Washington State
and stayed in contact with
many of her sorority sis-
ters throughout her entire
life, attending many re-
unions and other Kappa
functions.
After graduating from
college, Eleanor became a
4-H Home Extension
Agent. In 1951, she met
her future husband, Ernie
Hento, in Davenport,
Washington, through mu-
tual friends. They were
married on Nov. 21, 1952.
Ernie and Eleanor had two
children, Larry and She-
ryl. They lived in Daven-
port for nine years before
deciding in 1961to move to
Silverton, where Ernie
bought the local Western
Auto
Store.
Eleanor
helped Ernie at the store
for a number of years
while the kids were grow-
ing up. In 1971, when she
knew that her children
would soon go off to col-
lege, she decided to go
back to school at OCE
(Oregon College of Edu-
cation, which is now
WOU) in Monmouth to get
her teaching credentials.
In 1972, she got a teaching
job at Robert Frost Ele-
mentary School in Silver-
ton, teaching fifth grade.
She taught there for 15
years until her retirement
in 1987.
Eleanor was a gifted
musician. She not only
had a beautiful singing
voice, but she also played
the flute, the piccolo and
the piano. While living in
Silverton, Eleanor was ac-
tive in the United Method-
ist Church choir and also
instructed their bell choir
for several years. She also
sang in the Salem Chapter
of Sweet Adelines for a
number of years and had
very fond memories of
her time singing with
them. Eleanor loved to
travel and, after retiring,
she particularly enjoyed
going to elder hostels in
various parts of the U.S. in
her quest for further
learning experiences. Ad-
ditionally, after retire-
ment she learned to play
golf and played as often as
she could. And while she
couldn’t hit the ball real
far, it always went
straight as an arrow down
the fairway!
In her later years, she
and Ernie lived in the Wil-
lamette View Manor Re-
tirement Community in
Portland (where both of
her parents had lived af-
ter they retired). In late
2014, Eleanor and Ernie
moved to Keizer to be
closer to their son and
daughter and their fam-
ilies.
Eleanor is preceded in
death by her husband, Er-
nie; her parents; and her
brothers, Gordon and
Raymond. She is survived
by her brother, Richard
“Dick” (Shirley) Prouty;
son
Larry
(Sharon);
daughter Sheryl (Tom)
Bauer; and grandchildren
Nathan (Amy) and Nick
(Cindy) Bauer, and Erin
and Lauren Hento; and
great
granddaughters,
Charlotte Rae and Amelia
Anne Bauer.
The family would like
to extend our heartfelt
thanks to the staff at The
Arbor at Avamere in Keiz-
er for the kindness and
wonderful loving care
they provided to both of
our parents over the last
two and a half years.
A celebration of Elea-
nor’s life will be held from
1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April
22, at McNary Golf
Course, 155 McNary Es-
tates Drive N in Keizer.

Timothy Lee Frank
Alan Roland Kuenzi
Feb. 15, 1940 — March 31,
2017
In the evening of
March 31, 2017, Alan Ro-
land Kuenzi went to be
with the Lord.
Alan Kuenzi was born
in Silverton on Feb. 15,
1940, to his parents of
Swiss descent, Roland
and Matilda Kuenzi. He
grew up on a farm on Hib-
bard Road with his two
sisters, and attended the
one
room
“Willard
School.” Alan married Jo-
anne Halleman in 1962
and they had three chil-
dren: Debbie, Susan, and
Timothy. Later when he
was again single, God
blessed Alan with a godly
wife and partner, Helen
Cerkowniak. Alan and
Helen married on May 2,
1981, and they shared
many years together on
the farm.
Alan loved farming
and working the land with
his family. His favorite
time was the harvest. He
grew grass seed, straw-
berries, meadow foam
and other crops. He loved
reforestation and also
grew Christmas trees for
many years. Alan and Hel-
en enjoyed showing God’s
love to others by giving
them firewood or helping
out in other ways.
Despite serious inju-
ries from a tractor acci-
dent in the early 70s, Alan
farmed all of his career
and even while fighting
colon cancer, he was out
building fences on the hill
for his herd of goats and
splitting wood. Alan mod-
eled resilience and cre-
ativity, and his faith was
very central to his life. He
loved to read the Bible
and read it through many
times. Alan commented
that as he read Isaiah and
other books of the Bible,
he loved how God brings
things from chaos to
something beautiful. He
had a precious hope and a
deep love for God.
Alan was proud of his
Swiss heritage and loved
his family and church
deeply. Alan and Helen
were active members of
Immanuel’s
Reformed
Church in Salem. Thanks
to his hope in Christ, he
has transitioned into the
presence of Jesus, where
suffering will exist no
more.
Survivors
include
Alan’s wife, Helen, and his
three children: Debbie
MacConnel, Susan Kuenzi
(Jerry) Sabin, and Tim
(Mary) Kuenzi. Alan’s
grandchildren
include
Roland (Chelsey) Kuenzi,
Sophia (Andy) Walz, Gil-
bert Kuenzi, Anthony
Kuenzi, Sarah Kuenzi, and
Trevor Nugent. Alan has
one surviving sister, Lin-
da Miner.
Visitation was held

vice was held Saturday,

Reformed Church in Sa-
Dec. 20, 1966 — March 31,
2017
Timothy
Lee Frank,
50,
of
Gresham,
passed
away
March 31.
Tim was be-
ing treated for pancreatic
cancer and died from
complications related to
pneumonia.
He was born in Port-
land on Dec. 20, 1966, to
Ronald (now deceased)
and Gillian Frank. Tim
lost his hearing at age 1.
He graduated from the
Oregon School for the
Deaf in 1986. He was the
class salutatorian. He
played basketball and
football, and ran track. He
helped his high school
track team win the Ore-
gon State Track and Field
Championship his senior
year. To see Tim’s amaz-
ing run in the 1600-meter
relay, visit Inside Track
Film’s page on Facebook
or go to www.insidetrack-
film.com.
While attending Che-
meketa Community Col-
lege, Tim was recruited
by Boeing, where he
worked as a machinist for
29 years. Tim was proud
to work at Boeing and was
loved and respected by
his colleagues.
Tim enjoyed hunting
and fishing. He enjoyed
coordinating and attend-
ing the Perch Derby Tour-
nament every year with
his friends in the deaf
community. He was hard-
working, funny, generous,
and would do anything for
his friends and family. His
strength and fortitude
were never more appar-
ent than during this last
battle he fought. He was
positive and kept his
sense of humor even
through the toughest
times of his last few
weeks.
Tim will be loved and
respected by all who knew
him.
He is survived by his
daughters, Sarah, Laken
and Kaitlyn Frank; his
mother, Gillian Frank; his
sisters Lisa Summers and
Tabitha Adolphson, and
their children.

Governors ask feds for
heads-up on pot policy
JONATHAN BACH
STATESMAN JOURNAL
Gov. Kate Brown and
three other governors are
asking the federal gov-
ernment to talk with them
first
before
making
moves on pot policy.
The Oregon Democrat
joined governors from
Alaska, Washington and
Colorado in signing a
letter addressed to U.S At-
torney General Jeff Ses-
sions and Treasury Secre-
tary Steve Mnuchin. All
four states allow recre-
ational marijuana.
Governors in the letter
refer to the Cole Memo, an
Obama Administration-
era memo from then-Dep-
uty Attorney General
James Cole that outlined
the Department of Jus-
tice’s policy of allowing
recreational and medici-
nal marijuana as long as
states follow certain
guidelines.
“Overhauling the Cole
Memo is sure to produce
unintended and harmful
consequences,” the gover-
nors say in the letter.
“Changes that hurt the
regulated market would
divert existing marijuana
product into the black
market and increase dan-
gerous activity in both our
states and our neighbor-
ing states.”
The Department of
Justice received the letter
and is going to review it,
according to a spokes-
man, though he said the
department would de-
cline to comment further
for the time being.
The letter Monday
comes as other Oregon
politicians have ramped
up efforts to defend the
state’s marijuana indus-
try, which has brought in
more than $65 million in
state tax revenue so far.
Oregon Rep. Earl Blu-
menauer and Sen. Ron
Wyden last week an-
nounced bills that would
revamp the way the feder-
al government deals with
marijuana.
Cannabis
analytics
firm New Frontier Data
projects Oregon’s recre-
ational marijuana market
will be worth approxi-
mately $502 million by the
end of 2017 and $705 mil-
lion by the end of 2020.
The Washington, D.C.,
firm projects the U.S. le-
gal marijuana market will
be valued at more than
$24 billion by 2025.
