The most recent official count showed 11 homeless people living in Sil- verton, but there were 29 people who came to warming shelters in town this winter and the Silver Falls School Dis- trict had 69 students who identified as homeless in 2016-17 school year. According to Kenneth Houghton of Mid-Willamette Valley Community Ac- tion Agency, there are 38 emergency beds designated for single women in Marion County. Funding Continued from Page 1A Special districts, cites and the coun- ty can only tax residents up to a com- bined total of $10-per-$1,000 of as- sessed property value. When city lead- ers last discussed a parks and recrea- tion district in 2014, Silverton residents were paying $9-per-$1,000, Wurster said. Two decades ago, local voters de- nied a proposal to create a district with borders matching the Silver Falls School District, Palmer said. This time, all options on the table, even a district reaching out of town, he said. Portland State’s researchers will ex- plore small, medium and large district scenarios. Because city leaders in Mt. Angel and Scotts Mills aren’t joining the inquiry at this point, Wurster said, all three scenarios will likely be some combination of Silverton and its sur- rounding properties. Examples of other districts can found throughout Oregon. Chehalem and North Clackamas dis- tricts in the Newberg/Dundee and Mil- waukee/Happy Valley areas, respec- tively, are examples of districts that in- clude good-sized cities.

Angel Sausage Company: They will serve a variety of foods available daily, the full menu will be coming soon. Loco Ono BBQ: This company spe- cializes in BBQ pulled pork, chicken and smoked beef sandwiches available with or without coleslaw, available Thursday “I would just say the homeless are here, you just don’t see them,” Silverton police chief Jeff Fossholm said. The main concern from neighbors is how the influx of homeless would affect their community of beautiful homes with immaculate lawns. “I know what happens when home- less people come into neighborhoods. I do not want homeless people living here,” said Christine Rasmussen, a Sil- verton resident. One neighbor of the church said he has had homeless people living outside of his house at different times and they didn’t cause problems in the neighbor- hood. And the church hosted 14 homeless Parks and Recreation District in Neha- lem, on the other hand, is mostly rural. The Willamette Valley’s largest cit- ies, Portland, Salem and Eugene, run their parks, pools and recreational pro- gramming with general funds, supple- menting with bond and levy measures, although the greater Springfield area has one of the state’s oldest districts, Willamalane, formed in 1944. In Silverton, Palmer said he’s curi- ous whether a parks and recreation dis- trict could develop the sports fields conceptually planned for a piece of property above Pioneer Village along Ike Mooney Road or improve the 2.8- acre Pettit Property next to the Oregon Garden. A baseball coach for 23 years, he said he envisions such a district providing support and structure for the area’s youth sports programs, which typically depend on the school district for play- ing space and volunteers for everything else. And Silverton Pool – dependent on successive tax levies to operate – might find permanent funding too, he said. “We are not looking for something new to charge city residents for,” he said. “Rather, we are looking for an op- tion that would possibly be better for them financially, or at least equal to where they’re at now.” Bank-issued, FDIC-insured 2.15 Minimum deposit $1000 1-Year APY* What: Attendees can admire and take photos with 40 acres of nearly 120 varieties of tulips and daffodils, there are also daily, weekend and special events.

Former Silverton mayor Stu Rasmus- sen suggested an alternative to the church’s plan. He pointed out that many Silverton residents are older empty nesters with spare rooms in their homes. Rasmussen suggested a room share or community-wide shelter program as an alternative to small shelters could be a better way to go about helping the homeless population. “I’m surprised that we’re not being more creative,” Stu Rasmussen said. Guest columnist Question: Dear Carol, I am an avid vegetable gardener and have been growing food in my raised beds for about 3 years. This spring, I have put in peas, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, cauli- flower and parsley and cilantro. My problem is that in the spring, birds come into the beds and pull out and eat my peas, lettuce and even my broccoli etc. This problem seems to get getting worse each year. I love birds but they are driving me mad. What can I do about bird damage? Answer: Your bird-in-the-garden problem is so familiar to me. Birds are the biggest problem in my garden. The best way to deal with birds is to exclude them from your plants. You’ll need to protect your tender young seedlings and transplants. Once plants get more mature, they will be less vulnerable to bird damage. Here are some protection strategies that I have used over the years. Prioritize what is most important See BIRDS, Page 3A “You’re asking this neighborhood to take them in.” The Silverton City Council would have to approve a change in zoning to al- low the church to have the pods. The Planning Commission is working on the language of a proposed code change. The city council would then have to approve any changes. “Code changes are not an easy thing to do,” said Gene Oster, an insurance agent in Silverton. “This process is months, maybe even years getting to where we have these pods. Nothing is guaranteed, even if the city was to pass this.” bpoehler@StatesmanJournal.com or Twitter.com/bpoehler Address: P.O.
