A St. Paul Rodeo tradition continues
Isabela Hockett, Zach Brentano
win scholarships from St. Paul
Rodeo
Despite this year’s main event being
canceled due to the COVID-19 pandem-
ic, a St. Paul Rodeo tradition will press
on.
For the 48th year, the rodeo is award-
ing two scholarships to area students —
Isabela Hockett and Zach Brentano.
Each will receive $4,000 towards their
college education.
Hockett is a 2020 graduate of St. Paul
High School who was an honor roll stu-
dent and member of the National Honor
Society. She was active in a variety of
clubs and organizations throughout her
high school career, the rodeo said in a
release.
Hockett will attend Boise State Uni-
versity and major in a health-related
field with the goal of becoming a regis-
tered dietitian, the release said.
Hockett said the rodeo is something
she loves. “It’s a special time,” Hockett
said. “It’s in a beautiful place, with so
many people cheering, having fun and
laughing. It’s a great time, definitely my
favorite time of the year.”
Brentano, a 2019 St. Paul High School
graduate, will begin his second year of
college at Oregon State University,
where he is majoring in math.
Brentano’s dream job is to work as a
sports analyst with the Portland Trail
Blazers or a college football team.
Brentano volunteered in various
roles at the rodeo and said he loves the
St. Paul Rodeo for the significance it
brings to his hometown.
“It’s an identity for the town, some-
thing that is super cool,” he said. “I get to
claim to be from St. Paul, and people
really want to come and experience (the
rodeo).”
The St. Paul Rodeo Association
awards two scholarships each year —
one to a graduating senior of St. Paul
High School and one to a child of a St.
Paul Rodeo Association member. Bren-
tano’s parents Pete and Wendy are St.
Paul Rodeo Association members.
Since 1973, the rodeo has awarded
over $200,000 in scholarships, the re-
lease said.

Grambusch said. After firefighters put
out the blaze and used thermal imaging
to check for hotspots, they determined
it had started inside the tent, which con-

related to drug use. Terwilleger and

found and cited, Anglemier said.
A month earlier, on Jan. 29, Silverton
Fire Department had responded to a
similar tent fire in the railroad right-of-
way at Hwy. 214 and Jefferson Street. In
that case, wild land, not structures,
burned, Grambusch said.
At the community center, water dam-
age temporarily closed the building to
its occupants, Silverton Sheltering Ser-
vices, SACA, Silverton Together and
WIC, Wurster said. Upstairs, smoke had
damaged the children’s play area, and
air quality problems kept YMCA staff
and athletic groups out of the gym. Just
as the center’s non-profits were getting
back in the building, it closed to the
public, due to COVID-19. By mid-March,

Now, as the building opens along
with the rest of Marion County, day-to-
day services are more curtailed by social
distancing than by the fire.
SERVPRO of Salem has been hired to
do the $12,500 repair job, according to
council documents. Among other
things, the repairs include tearing down
and rebuilding the building’s back
stairs, refinishing and repainting inside
the childcare area, and replacing the
center’s back door.
“I’m hoping in the next couple of
weeks, they’ll get things moving for-
ward,” said Travis Sperle, public works
maintenance supervisor. While the city
must pay these costs up front, its insur-
ance company, Citycounty Insurance
Services, will reimburse everything be-
yond the $1,000 deductible, Zaragoza
said. Besides simple repair and replace-
ment, SERVPRO will upgrade the stairs
to be ADA-compliant and install a fire-
rated door.
As longtime employees, Sperle and
Zaragoza both recall the last time the
center’s back stairs were overhauled.
