Among its changes, Durham ended the prac- tice of picking up stu- dents attending schools via in-district transfers. For example, a student who lives in the area served by Robert Frost who attends school at Sil- ver Crest, instead, now must always be trans- ported to and from school rather than riding a bus. “It’s really difficult … we just simply don’t have the ability to make all of those exceptions and be fair about it,” Stevens said. “I have to be able to justify when I say ‘no’ or so we don’t add a layer of frustration and stress to either parents or the transportation company." DANDY STEVENS ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE SILVER FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT say ‘yes.’” Durham did add a sec- ond middle-and-high- school bus to the in-town lineup, as well as a neigh- borhood stop in the Webb Lake area, in response to families’ complaints and district requests, Ste- vens said.

Silverton, West Salem and Blanchet qualified for the state soccer play- offs this season despite missing players who would have helped them. “I just knew that I wanted to get better and I knew that this would be the better choice,” Tejeda said. Still, the girls were faced with difficult choices. “I really loved playing with the (Silverton) girls and it was really difficult for me," said Alexander, co-Player of the Year in Class 5A last year, of a team that made it to the state championship game. "But I feel like this is the right choice and it’s gonna get me farther for where I wanna go.” Alexander, who scored 33 goals last season for the Foxes, has lofty soc- cer dreams. She hopes her experience with the Thorns Academy will lead to a Division 1 col- lege scholarship, a pro- fessional career in the National Women's Soccer League and a spot on the U.S. National Team. That falls in line with the mission statement of the U.S. Soccer Develop- ment Academy: To im- pact everyday club envi- ronments to develop world-class players. A major commitment All of the Mid-Valley players with the Thorns Academy plan to play col- lege soccer, and their af- Blanchet's Emily Collier remains focused on the field during a Thorns Academy soccer practice. Collier plays for the Portland Thorns Under-19 team, an elite soccer program for players under the age of 19. MOLLY J. SMITH / STATESMAN JOURNAL filiation with an elite-lev- el program could facili- tate that goal. After all, they are practicing against the top players in the state and competing in college showcase tournaments against other U.S. Soccer Girls Development Acad- emy teams representing primarily California, Utah and Washington. "High school (soccer) was sort of to have fun, but here it's so different," said Feis-White, who at- tended Sheldon High in Eugene as a freshman. "It's so much more in- tense." In addition to quality competition and coach- ing, Thorns Academy players work with a sports nutritionist, a sports psychologist and fitness coach. They practice after school three times a week at Providence Park, which also is home to the Portland Thorns of the NWSL. Thorns FC Academy was established in 2014 and this is the inaugural season for the U.S. Soccer Girls Development Acad- emy. It is equivalent to the Timbers Academy for boys which had its first season in the U.S. Soccer Academy League in 2012- 13. Tryouts are held throughout the state of Oregon to earn roster spots in four age divisions - U19, U17, U15 and U14 - for the Thorns Academy and Timbers Academy. There are currently 78 players in the girls acad- emy and 84 in the boys. “The basic point of the Academy is to have the best players playing with the best players,” said Chris Thurley, head coach of the Thorns U17 team and boys soccer coach at Jesuit High School. “The Timbers and the Thorns support the whole person, but it is a profes- sional organization so there is an expectation that this become a very important part of their weekly commitment. And for the Salem kids it’s even a bigger commit- ment because they’re driving up here three times a week." Parental involvement Attending practices is easier for the four Salem- area girls on the Thorns Academy U17 team be- cause they carpool, but as the only Mid-Valley play- er on the Thorns U19 team Collier is on her own. She occasionally drives herself, but often “my mom will drive me so I can sleep, eat and do my homework in the car." “I really love my high See SOCCER, Page 3A www.edwardjones.com Member SIPC LOCAL ADVISORS Salem Area Vin Searles Jeff Davis Keizer Area Surrounding Area Chief Continued from Page 1A Sheryl Resner Bridgette Justis FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR Mission | 503-363-0445 Liberty | 503-581-8580 Keizer | 503-304-8641 Sublimity | 503-769-3180 Michael Wooters Garry Falor Mario Montiel Tim Yount FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR South | 503-362-5439 West | 503-588-5426 Keizer | 503-393-8166 Silverton | 503-873-2454 Caitlin Davis Chip Hutchings Walt Walker FINANCIAL ADVISOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR West | 503-585-1464 Lancaster | 503-585-4689 FINANCIAL ADVISOR Stayton | 503-769-4902 Tim Sparks Kelly Denney FINANCIAL ADVISOR Commercial | 503-370-6159 FINANCIAL ADVISOR Dallas | 503-623-2146 *Yield effective 11/07/2017, subject to availability.

I want to help people; as corny as it sounds, it’s true.” On patrol in Salem, Daniel eventually became a K-9 handler and then a sergeant. Eventually, he was hired away by Port- land International Airport where, as an operations lieutenant, he led the ex- plosive detection K-9 team and scheduled pa- trol shifts. On the side, Daniel took classes and complet- ed bachelor’s and mas- ter’s degrees in business, management and organi- zational leadership from Corban University and Warner Pacific College, respectively. In practice and in the classroom, he developed theories of leadership that serve him day-to-day. “I’m a leader who’s very inclusive. I like to in- volve people. I really en- joy putting people in posi- tions where they can grow and learn,” he said. “I also like to give people the big picture, to make sure they know as much informa- tion as they possibly can.” In 2009, Daniel took his current job as a captain in Sherwood. Twenty-five miles north of Mt. Angel, Sherwood is a 19,000-per- son bedroom community of the Portland area with a 23-officer police depart- ment. It’s mostly residen- tial, and it hosts several annual events, including the Robin Hood Festival and the Cruisin’ Sher- wood. Neither is as large as Mt. Angel’s Oktoberfest, but Daniel said he’s en- joyed assisting organiz- ers with security. Also, as a resident of St. Paul, site of the St. Paul Rodeo ev- ery year, he knows how it feels to live in a small town that balloons in size once a year. For Sherwood Police Department, Daniel man- aged special events, the K-9 program, automated traffic control, school po- lice, investigations and evidence. But for more than a decade, he’s wanted to take the next step up the leadership ladder and be- come a chief, so he’s ap- plied at a number of smaller departments over the years. Now, because of his years of service, he can retire from Sherwood with the PERS system and come to work for Mt. An- gel for $72,600 per year, plus medical benefits, but without retirement costs, a savings for local taxpay- ers, Mathiesen explained. “Being a chief has been a goal of mine for quite a while,” Daniel said. “I feel I’ve made significant con- tributions no matter where I’ve been, but you Church Directory IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH 303 N.

Angel, Daniel will lead a department of five officers, down from six after longtime Sgt. Jeff Charpilloz resigned last month. Some of the challenges facing Mt. Angel Police Department are funding, recruitment and reten- tion. Because it’s a small community with limited finances, surrounded by larger communities that can pay its officers more, Mt. Angel has to work harder than most to find new officers and keep them on the job long-term, Mathiesen said. “Also it’s tough to maintain relevance in the industry because we’re a small town,” she said. “We don’t always see the same types of crimes you might find in a big city – and that’s a good thing – but it’s harder when our offi- cers are faced with those really tough situations.” Daniel has met so many law enforcement specialists over the years that he knows Mt. Angel’s challenges are not unique. His experiences – includ- ing disaster preparedness leadership, participation in an FBI academy, and volunteer jobs on a varie- ty of boards – have shown him what other agencies are doing to solve com- mon problems. “Especially in a small department’s like Mt. An- gel’s, you have to be fiscal- ly responsible,” he said. “The money that you spend, primarily, is on people. The big challenge is making sure you’re funded to pay a fair wage so you can not only at- tract, but also keep, per- sonnel. Helping officers feel fulfilled and support- ed in the job they do are important pieces in over- coming that problem too.” In Mt. Angel, Daniel pledged to put on his uni- form and patrol as much as possible, joining the town’s officers and quick- ly getting to know the city he’s sworn to protect. He’s an admitted “people per- son” who said he looks for- ward to meeting the mem- bers of this tight-knit community. “I am excited and hon- ored to have been given the nod and work in the most noble professions that I’m aware of,” he said. “I will do whatever I can to make Mt. Angel saf- er.”
