A 14-year-old Keizer girl died from drowning at a
camp near Silverton June 20, the Marion County
Sheriff ’s Office said.
Naomi Rudolph had been working as a junior
camp counselor at Canyonview Camp on Finlay
Road. Off work, she was swimming in the camp's
two-acre pond.
An investigation by the Marion County Sheriff ’s
Office and fire personnel from the Silverton Fire Dis-
trict stated that Rudolph began to struggle while
swimming and lifeguards could not reach her before
she submerged and disappeared.
Shortly after, her body was located and pulled
from the water.
Canyonview is a Christian camp founded in 1953
as Bible Teaching Inc. by Ernie and Fern Campbell.
It is the first drowning death in the summer sea-
son of 2018 in Marion County.

Mt. Angel resident ‘not
going to quit’ helping
out Mission Benedict

MT. ANGEL – At an age when most people have
even ordinary tasks done by others, Verna Scharbach
is still doing for others.
A lifelong Mt. Angel resident and great-great-
grandmother has been volunteering with Mission
Benedict for 30 years.
That she turns 100 years old on June 24 won’t pre-
vent her from volunteering at the food bank twice a
week.
“I’m going to do this until I drop dead,” Scharbach
said. “I’m not going to quit. My driver’s license is good
until I’m 102.”
Mission Benedict essentially started in Schar-
bach’s garage.

Verna Scharbach blows out candles celebrating her
100th birthday on June 22.
“I’m going to do this until I drop
dead.”
“Many hands make light work,” goes the old ad-
age, and it held true last Thursday at Mt. Angel’s new
farmers market, inside the Shanigan family’s food
booth.
Led by matriarch Kari Shanigan, the seven-mem-
ber family had spent the previous day picking berries
and baking goodies for sale. German Bienenstich
(bee sting) cake, chocolate chip cookies and raspber-
ry parfait were among the offerings.
“We love farmers markets,” Shanigan said, smiling
at her husband and five children inside the tent deco-
rated with the blue-and-white Bavarian flag. “It’s
great to see how the kids can be a part of something
that is real and fun.”
Named to fit the town’s Teutonic roots, Mt. Angel
Wochenmarkt is brand-new and scheduled to oper-
ate every Thursday this summer, from 9 a.m. to 1:30
p.m., through the end of September. It’s a stone’s
throw from the public library on a permanently
closed stub of road at the end of Charles and Church
streets.
“We didn’t want to do Saturdays because we want
to be available for the same vendors who do the Sil-
verton market or others,” said Mt. Angel City Man-
ager Amber Mathiesen. “This summer our goal is to
establish a base of vendors who will come back next
season.”
“We are hoping to get farmers who have extra pro-
duce and who want another venue for selling,” said
member Leah Duda. “Here we can get produce right
to people, help local businesses, and cut out the mid-
