Couples fi nd they are still
learning after 171 years
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
When Gene Starns was
asked which excuse his wife,
Georgia, used most during
their 66 years of marriage –
I forgot, you forgot, I forgot
you didn’t remember, and no
hablas inglés – he found him-
self in a bit of a pickle.
“That’s a hard one cause I
can’t remember,” Gene said.
After having the possible an-
swers reread for him, he went
with “I forgot you didn’t re-
member.”
So it went during the
fi rst-ever Not-So-Newlywed
Game at Willamette Lutheran
Retirement Community on
Friday. Feb. 9.
Three local couples, rep-
resenting 171 years of mar-
riage, took up the challenge
of matching their partners’
answers to a series of occa-
sionally revealing, and more
frequently embarrassing, ques-
tions. In addition to the Starns,
Steve and JoAnn Warren, mar-
ried for 49 years, and Del and
Bev Colby, married for 56
years, took part in the fun.
Kay Hayes, Willamette Lu-
theran’s marketing and ad-
missions director, emceed the
game while Debbie Gurule,
the campus’s activity director,
assisted as hostess on the stage
in the run-up to Valentine’s
Day.
While none of the couples
ran away with the competi-
tion, the Warrens won with 20
points to their opponents’ 15
each.
Most of the questions for
the event revolved around
comparing their partners to
food or animals, but one ques-
tion seemed destined to end
with a husband in the dog-
police scanner
A 20-year-old Keizer man
accused of stealing “water en-
hancers” worth about $20 has
been charged with third-de-
gree robbery after he resisted
attempts by loss prevention of-
fi cers to stop him.
The incident was report-
ed about 3 p.m. on Tuesday,
Feb. 6, at the newly-opened
Waremart by Winco at 5450
River Road N.
Keizer police offi cers re-
sponded to the store where
Carlitos Rosales-Felton was
being detained by the store’s
loss prevention offi cers. Ro-
sales-Felton allegedly pock-
eted fi ve MiO water enhanc-
ers before attempting to leave
the store without paying.
When approached by the
loss prevention offi cers, Ro-
sales-Felton reportedly used
physical force to stop loss pre-
vention offi cers from detain-
ing him. The use of force esca-
lated a shoplifting charge to a
robbery charge.

house.
When asked to rate the
fi rst meal his wife ever served
him on a scale of 1 to 10, Del
Colby wasted little time in
declaring the meal a disastrous
“1.”
When Bev was escorted
back into the room and rat-
ed it a more forgiving “5,” a
chorus of laughter erupted.
When Del revealed his rating,
Bev admitted Del was the one
who taught her how to cook.
“Everything was fi ne until
the cat died,” said Del.
The Warrens were re-
warded for their knowledge
of each other with a wedding
cake made out of towels.
