Stevens spent the be-
ginning of the school
year meeting with com-
plaints and suggestions
from families affected
by Durham’s changes to
Silver Falls bus routes.
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.

the Thorns U19 team, had
to make a choice – play
for the Thorns Academy
or their high school
teams.
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."

job because I love it. 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

don’t get the chance to ex-
ercise your full leader-

in-depth effects unless
you’re sitting in the ‘big
chair.’”
In Mt. 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.”
