The Antique Powerland of today is
vastly larger than these early get-to-
gethers. In 1970, the Powerland park
was established on the Frank Petzel
farm just west of Interstate 5 on
Northeast Brooklake Road. Dedicated
afi cionados and tinkerers established
the 62-acre location to more perma-
nently preserve Oregon’s past, and
share this history.
The fi rst Steam-Up, in 1970, wasn’t
fancy, said Tim Dezotell, whose grand-
father, Percy, was one of the founders. It
featured “nothing more than a few his-
torical steam engines and tractors run
by steam and gas,” Dezotell recalled.
Since
that
small
beginning,
Powerland Heritage Park has expanded
in many directions, all of them con-
sistent with that original 1970 vision
of discovery, history and fun. It is
now comprised of 14 museums, all of
which participate enthusiastically in
Steam-Up.
The museums house vintage cars

Where and how
do you volunteer?
"Presently—I’ve continued to be
available for deployment and
assistance with Marion County
Emergency Management, Keizer
CERT, on-call chaplaincy and
special event singing."
Why do you volunteer?
"I know each of us has a purpose
and can make a diff erence in our
community — one life at a time,
even when I'm plumb tuckered out,
it always fuels my tank. Sometimes
it’ll even mend my own bootstraps."
What does volunteering
do for you?

"For me —it is serving God and a
way to live my daily Thanksgiving to
him by asking God every morning
'let me be someone’s angel today.'
Sometimes I know when that
happens, but most of the time I don’t.
That request sets my course each day.
It allows me to be able to be more
open to hear, to see and perceive
situations that are easily masked by
others — or we ourselves are impaired
to see by our own pressing agenda."
How would you get
others to volunteer
in their community?

"Explore your passions. If there is a
void or need that touches your heart,
there's usually something you can
do to help. Ask if there is anything
you can do to assist. Just don't sit on
the thought — act on it. Give without
expectation and thank God you
were blessed to be able do so."
