Silverton Seniors Thrift Shop, an intriguing place to browse and find unique items, can always use some volunteer help.

base, the center will also
expand its exercise class-
es this June, and rental eli-
gibility will also become
available to more people.
On a side note, Donna
wanted to invite shoppers
and browsers in town to
take a peek at the broad
assortment of goods at the
Silverton Seniors Thrift
Shop, located downtown
at 207 High St., just
around the corner from
the Red Bench.
“It’s kind of a general
store, actually; jewelry,
clothing, hardware – may-
be even occasionally a
snack,” Donna said.
The store is providing
outfits for the SSC Moth-
er’s Day Tea & Fashion
Show, which is 2 to 4 p.m.
Saturday, May 13, at the
center, 115 Westfield St.
Visit: http://www.silver
tonseniorcenter.org/.
Store hours are 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. Sunday. The store
also has ample volunteer
opportunities available
for anyone of working or
retired age; call 503-874-
1154 to learn more.
“I just want people to
see the thrift shop; it’s one
of our hidden treasures in
town,” Dodie said. “And it
does help support the sen-
ior center a lot.”
Donna added: “It helps
the seniors of the entire
community.”
Another SSC note is
that the monthly pancake
breakfast – and it is now
officially a monthly meal
– takes place from 8 to
10:30 a.m. Saturday, May
27.
That’s
pancakes,
scrambled eggs, sausage,
fruit and beverages at a
cost is $5 for adults and $3
for kids with under 4 din-
ing free.
Wearing a different
hat, Dodie reminds people
that the Legacy Silverton
Health Auxiliary Bake
Sale is 8 to 10 a.m. Satur-
day, May 13, in the parking
lot, 342 Fairview St.,
where homemade goodies
can be enjoyed during and
after the scheduled Fun
Run.
Cartoon contest
The brief 80-degree
spell may have been a
heretofore anomaly this
spring, but by the time
Homer Davenport Days
check in Aug. 4-6, warm
weather should be the
standard.
Another standard is
the celebration of a Silver-
ton favorite son, the festi-
val’s namesake and famed
international cartoonist
of his day. Homer passed
away 105 years ago May 2
at the young age of 45,
having contracted pneu-
monia in New York City
while on an assignment to
interview survivors of the
Titanic. So it was fitting
that Gus, a local historian,
was on hand May 3 at Sil-
ver Creek to unfold new
developments in the car-

toon contest.
The contest began in
1984, and the aim has been
to orchestrate it into an in-
ternational contest wor-
thy of its namesake. Gus
noted that it had achieved
just that, largely under
the direction of Jack
Hande. Entrants over the
years have hailed from
every colonized continent
in the world.
Hopes are that a re-
newed energy, and mon-
ey, will lift it back to that
level. After all, Gus as-
serted, a Homer Daven-
port celebration would be
naked without a cartoon
contest.
“It’s been sporadic
over the course of a cou-
ple of years,” Gus said,
speculating that the long-
standing $200 prize may
have been afflicted by in-
flation and turning top
sketchers elsewhere.
That’s one thing that’s
changed as the grand
prize now fetches $750,
followed by a $500 first
prize, $300 second and
$200 third. There will also
be a people’s choice
awards.
The entry fee is $25.
Judging criteria are artis-
tic skill, clearly implied
message and the cartoon’s
overall appeal.
Gus said all prizes will
be determined by a blue-
ribbon panel of judges,
while five people’s choice
awards will be deter-
mined by popular vote.
Judges are Rep. Rick Lew-
is (R-Silverton), Sen. Lew
Frederick (D-Portland)
and Dr. David Lewis, a
cartoon aficionado and
member of the Confeder-
ated Tribes of Grand
Ronde.
Submission deadline is
July 28. Winners will be
announced Saturday af-
ternoon at the festival and
on the “Homer Page” on-
line.
