SILVERTONAPPEAL.COM ܂ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 ܂ 3A Flag Continued from Page 1A oped an interest in vexillology, the study of flags, and, along the way, learned Sil- verton doesn’t have a flag, as do the cit- ies of Salem and Portland. “A flag gives citizens a banner to rally under. It’s something that provides uni- fication,” he said. His younger brother, Eliah, a fifth- grader at Robert Frost School, is a prolif- ic cartoonist who’s even created his own version of Pokémon called “Eliah-mon.” He used pens and markers to draw a simple green flag with a bright blue creek curving down its middle in an “S.” “At first, it was going to have flowers and other things, but we ended up with just this,” he said. Benji made a digital version of the flag using the vector-graphics software program Inkscape, and that’s what the brothers presented to the council. Now they’ll compete with everyone else for the chance to design Silverton’s official flag. The contest is open to anyone inter- ested. Each applicant should create a District 18 Continued from Page 1A which basically means I’m not taking any big PAC special interest money,” Shapiro said. “I’ve taken union money because I support the unions. “But all my money has come from in- dividual contributions, primarily. It makes it very difficult to compete with someone who is receiving other money.” Shapiro defeated Doug Culver in the Democratic primary 72 percent to 25 percent; Lewis, the incumbent, was un- opposed in the Republican primary. Lewis said what sets him apart from Shapiro is the experience gained from a lifetime of public service in law enforce- ment and elected office. He was the po- lice chief in Silverton from 1998 until his retirement in 2012, and previously was police chief in Bandon and Union. Lewis says he is a supporter of the second amendment, but he believes there are other solutions to curbing school violence than taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. “If we keep focusing on the weapon that’s used and not on the individual that’s using it, I think we’re going to Community members gather at Eugene Field School before its demolition begins in October.

Meanwhile, among other business before the council this month: ܂ Removal of lead and asbestos from shuttered Eugene Field School is ongo- ing and must be complete before the 35,000-square-foot building can be de- molished. New Public Works Director Petra Schuetz said the city will seek demolition bids by mid-October, which is also when residents can expect to start hearing how they can officially weigh in on the 3.5-acre site’s future de- velopment. Silverton landed a $25,000 grant from the state to pay for this pub- lic process, Wurster said. More informa- miss the mark,” Lewis said. “I don’t want anybody to have the im- pression that because I support the sec- ond amendment that I don’t want to do anything about school violence. Two separate issues. It bothers me because you hear it a lot, people talking about gun violence as opposed to murder. Quit focusing on the instrument that is used and focus on the reason why they’re do- ing it.” Shapiro grew up in Massachusetts, moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s and had a lengthy career in advertising. Since moving to Silverton from Cali- fornia in 2007, Shapiro has been in- volved with the Salem Art Association, has participated in photography exhib- its and has taught photography at schools including Perrydale High School and the Oak Creek Oregon Youth Cor- rectional Facility. “My campaign is about reducing class sizes, increasing pay for teachers so that they’re respected and that they’re getting the dignity that they should,” Shapiro. “I want to have a men- tal health counselor at every school. We’re really lacking in that. “Obviously for personal reasons I want art in every school. We’re dropping art, we’re teaching kids to take tests. There’s a woman in the community here who keeps pushing music in every school. You want kids to do well in math, teach them music. These are the things that are really important.” Contact Bill Poehler at bpoeh- ler@StatesmanJournal.com or Twit- ter.com/bpoehler 1 State Representative House District 18 Rick Lewis Age: 68.

Oregon’s Land Use Board of Appeals has agreed to look into the planned unit develop- ment of roughly 56 lots by Gene Oster that was unanimously rejected by the council in 2017. A ruling from the state, expected within six months, could over- turn or affirm the council’s decision or require reconsideration of the project. The last such appeal of a Silverton pro- ject, the fifth phase at Pioneer Village, occurred about a decade ago, said Jason Gottgetreu, community development director. ܂ Eight more historic photos – en- graved in metal and affixed to sidewalk podiums – are on their way to being in- stalled around town.
