Pachanga gets the party started at Main Street Park

By LANCE MASTERSON For The Itemizer-Observer

Back in 2019, bandleader Oscar Herrera needed a name that captured the spirit of the band he hoped to create. He mentioned the search to his mother before her passing.

“Name it Pachanga,” she said. Herrera knew she was right. In Spanish, the

word means party.

“That’s what people want,” he said. “A pachanga.” Years later, the Salembased band continues to live up to its name. Pachanga returns to Monmouth’s Music in the Park concert series July 15. They made a memorable debut last year, turning Main Street Park into a dance floor. City officials noticed.

“Pachanga is back by popular demand based on the crowd response from their previous performance,” said Suzanne Dufner, economic development director for the City of Monmouth. “It was so fun to see folks on their feet dancing and the energy Pachanga brings to the stage.” The band’s mission

at the courthouse June 30 to bring public awareness to the stalled talks between them and the administration.

Amy Everits, president of the Local 173, said the event was not a call to strike, although that option is not off the table should talks reach an impasse.

“So this is a rally to get everybody kind of motivated and together as a group,” Everits said.

After rallying speeches from local and state leaders, the group marched once around the courthouse.

Everits said the union negotiates a new contract with the administration every three years, with the current one ended June 29. At the top of their demands is a raise in COLA tied more closely to the rate of inflation over 4%. The county’s initial offer was 2%

By LANCE MASTERSON For The Itemizer-Observer

A tribute to one of music’s most influential groups opens this year’s River’s Edge Summer Series at Riverview Park in Independence. Friday’s show also marks a series debut for Portland-based Grand Royale, a Beastie Boys tribute act that has spent more than a decade

celebrating the group’s music and legacy.

The invitation carries meaning. Other tribute acts have spoken highly of their River’s Edge experience, making this a show Grand Royale hoped would happen.

“We are so excited to finally get to play this amazing concert series,” band member Justin Enger stated by email.

“Other tributes in our

booking agency have always said what a great venue and time they have had playing the River’s Edge series, so we cannot wait to rock.”

Surefire, a classic rock cover band, opens the evening at 6 p.m. Grand Royale takes the stage at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 at the gate or $8 online

GRAND RONDE MAN KILLED IN HIGHWAY 18 ACCIDENT

A Grand Ronde man was killed in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 18 July 2

At approximately 10:10 a.m., the Oregon State Police responded to a two-vehicle fatal crash on Highway 18 near milepost 1 in Lincoln County.

The preliminary investigation indicated a gray Nissan pickup, operated by Bryan Anderson, 35, of Grand Ronde, was traveling eastbound on Highway 18. For unknown reasons he entered the westbound lane and collided head-on with a westbound blue Ford Maverick pickup, operated by Jenny Wiens, 63, of Salem.

Anderson was pronounced deceased at the scene. Anderson was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Wiens was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The highway was impacted for approximately three hours during the on-scene investigation. Oregon State Police were assisted by North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Check out state parks with a Dallas library card

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and the State Library of Oregon are partnering to offer free state parks parking permits to Oregon public libraries. There are currently 200 parking permits available at 82 libraries across the state, including the Dallas Public Library.

“Oregon’s state parks are for everyone,” said OPRD deputy director

JR Collier. “As we assess ways to manage our budget responsibly, we also want to uplift equitable access to our parks.”

Each participating library received up to four parking permits. These are the physical hang tags you check out from the library and put in your car. The permit covers parking in all Oregon State Parks dayuse areas for one vehicle.

All you need to participate is your library card.

“Libraries help make life more affordable for Oregonians. This program leverages the existing borrowing system to help connect folks of all income levels with the beauty and splendor of Oregon’s State Parks,” said Wendy Cornelisen, state librarian.

Both OPRD and the State Library contributed

Willamina students honored at SkillsUSA Workforce Development Event

A team of Willamina students were recognized with a certificate of accomplishment at the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference (NLSC) held June 1-5 in Atlanta. An all-time high of 7 000 students competed in the 2026 SkillsUSA Championships at NLSC, which is the largest gathering of the future skilled workforce.

As an indicator of proficiency, Skill Point Certificates were awarded to SkillsUSA Championships competitors who met a predetermined threshold score for their respective competition. Students can add this certificate, an indicator of career readiness, to their employment portfolio.

Team AK, consisting of Willamina High School students Jace Warnicke,

Stephen Sanchez-Haller and Joseph Goodwin, was awarded a Skill Point Certificate in Welding Fabrication.

To be invited to the SkillsUSA Championships, students first had to win their state-level competition, demonstrating their technical skills, workplace skills and personal skills. The national competition featured state champions from middle school, high school and college/ postsecondary divisions across the country in 115 hands-on career and leadership competitions including robotics, automotive technology, drafting, criminal justice, aviation maintenance, public speaking and more.

“This showcase of career and technical education demonstrates SkillsUSA at its finest,” said SkillsUSA Executive

Director Chelle Travis.

“Our students, instructors and industry partners work together to ensure that every student excels.”

The SkillsUSA Championships is the largest skill competition in the world and covers 1 79 million square feet, equivalent to 31 football fields or 41 acres. It’s supported by leaders from 850 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions who planned and evaluated the competitors against their industry standards. More than 2,000 industry judges and technical committee members also volunteered their time to ensure a successful event.

The next NLSC will be held June 21-25 of 2027, in Atlanta. Learn more about SkillsUSA, the No. 1 workforce development organization for students, at www.skillsusa.org.

100 parking permits to the program to distribute to libraries. The agencies determined how many passes each library would receive based on interest from the library, its proximity to a park charging a day use fee, and the size of the population it serves. The State Library purchased permits with Library Services and Technology Act funds

from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.

OPRD first distributed parking permits to 28 libraries as part of a year-long pilot program starting in August 2024 . Those passes were checked out more than 2 , 100 times. At the pilot’s conclusion, OPRD evaluated how to best move the program forward in the context of its

changing fees. In 2027 OPRD and the State Library will continue to explore options for an expanded long-term program that will serve even more libraries and people in Oregon.

Trio sentenced in West Salem robbery, assault

I-O STAFF REPORT

Three youths were separately sentenced in Polk County Circuit Court for their roles in a 2025 incident in which they beat and terrorized a man in Wallace Marine Park.

Robert Lanoy, of West Salem, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery 1 assault 3, reckless endangering, and menacing. Lanoy, 19, was sentenced Jan. 7 to 7 ½ years in prison with an additional 30 months of post-prison supervision.

Chance Lawrence, of Salem, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery 1, assault 3, reckless endangering and menacing. Lawrence, 18, was

sentenced on June 8 7 ½ years in prison with an additional 30 months of post-prison supervision.

Xavier Wilcox, of West Salem, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery 1 assault 3, reckless endangering, and menacing. Wilcox, 19, was sentenced on June 16 to 3 years in prison with an additional 36 months of post-prison supervision.

According to the Polk County District Attorney’s Office, on Aug. 4 2025 the co-defendants lured the victim from the Transit Mall in downtown Salem to the boat ramp area in Wallace Marine Park. There, they forced the victim to strip off his clothes then beat, kicked and

repeatedly pepper-sprayed his eyes and face.

Throughout the attack, the victim begged for the co-defendants to stop as they verbally humiliated him while continuing to strike him. The victim sustained injury to his eyes and other physical trauma from the assault.

The DA’s office thanked the thorough work of the Salem Police Department and its detectives on this case.

“We also commend the bravery of the victim throughout the legal process,” the DA’s office said in a press release. The case was prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Matthew Wilson.

Ambulance involved in crash while responding to emergency call

An ambulance crew was transported to Salem Hospital after being involved in a traffic accident on July 2

Their Polk County Fire District No. 1 ambulance was involved in a traffic crash at approximately 6:39 p.m. while responding to an emergency medical call.

The ambulance had just cleared the scene of a fatal motorcycle crash in Independence and was en route to another emergency medical call in Monmouth when the collision occurred at the intersection of Highway 99 and Hoffman Road. There were no patients on board the ambulance

at the time of the crash.

The three fire personnel inside the ambulance were conscious following the collision and were transported to Salem Health for medical evaluation.

The driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision was also transported to Salem Health for medical evaluation.

Polk Fire was assisted at the scene by Dallas Fire & EMS and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Dallas Fire & EMS also provided mutual aid coverage to help ensure uninterrupted emergency medical service to our communities while crews managed the incident.

The crash is being investigated by the Oregon State Police.

“Polk Fire is grateful for the assistance provided by Dallas Fire & EMS and our regional mutual aid partners,” the fire district said in a press release. “We appreciate the coordinated response from all agencies involved, and our thoughts are with everyone involved as they receive medical care.

“We ask our community to keep our staff, and everyone involved in this crash in their thoughts as they recover and as the investigation continues,” fire officials added.

Kramer reflects on Panthers’ state championship run

By LANCE MASTERSON For The Itemizer-Observer

The third year was the charm for Ben Kramer.

Three years after being named head coach, Kramer and his staff guided the Panthers to the Class 5A state championship in baseball.

Kramer joined the Central staff five years ago. He spent his first two years here as an assistant under former head coach Tom Roberts. He also coached at South Albany High School.

Kramer credits his mentors with helping him shape his philosophy: challenge players, support families and use baseball as a vehicle for helping young men grow.

This recipe certainly bore fruits as Central defeated Thurston, 7-0, for the state title in June. The Panthers finished with a 24-7 overall mark.

Freelance writer Lance Masterson interviewed Kramer regarding his team’s remarkable run. Highlights from that interview follow.

Lance Masterson: You were named Class 5A coach of the year. What does that honor mean to you?

Ben Kramer: It’s an incredible honor, but it’s really a reflection of the people around me. My family, my friends, and my faith have carried me through many moments in coaching that often people don’t see. Coaching awards are never won by one person, either. They truly belong to the players who trust us as coaches, trust each other and

trust themselves; to my coaching staff that puts in countless hours behind the scenes; to my AD and AD secretary who keep moving everything forward; and to our families who support us incredibly well. Panther nation is strong.

I’m grateful for the recognition, and also realize this is a great reflection of the group and what we accomplished this year.

LM: What does coaching a team to a state championship mean to you?

BK: A state championship is something I’ll always cherish, not because of the trophy, but because I know how much these players and families invested to make it happen. Celebrating together with players and their families and our community is really special. Central is a special place.

LM: A high school baseball season is basically a roller coaster, with highs and lows. What was the most important and/ or difficult decision you made this season?

BK: I can’t point to one moment. But there are lots of decisions my coaches and I made that guided our group to have opportunities to be successful. I can sum it up as committing to trust our players and pushing them to compete, believe, and have a ton of fun playing baseball with each other. We have really talented players, and we also have quality depth. That was a fun place to be as a coach because I was confident in lots of guys being able to step up in different situations and deliver, and they did.

LM: How did your team respond to adversity?

BK: Every team has adversity, for sure. We had games where things didn’t go our way, injuries we had to manage, and moments where we had to regroup. We just embraced it. It’s a “next pitch” mentality that we bought into. In life and baseball we can’t control everything. Our responses to moments of adversity were pretty good this year. These boys care a ton about each other. They stayed together when we hit some bumps in the road, so I am really proud of them.

LM: When did you realize that this team had state championship potential?

BK: I think we knew this group had the talent early. I really believed we had something special once I saw how they responded to adversity and how connected they

became as a team through that adversity.

LM: Describe your program’s foundation. It seems to me this moment has been years in the making?

BK: I appreciate that because this championship wasn’t built in one season. It really was the result of three-plus years of establishing expectations and building relationships. Our culture is centered around family, competition, and making disciplined decisions while having fun. We want our players to be great young men, great teammates, great baseball players, and to represent Central the right way.

LM: What can you tell me about the team as a whole? What made them special?

BK: Our success came from players who bought into a role, challenged

SALEM HEALTH ORTHOPEDICS

each other and did the little things right in baseball, and outside of baseball. Those contributions … put us in a position to win the championship this season. They believed in coaches, each other and themselves.

LM: When do you start thinking about next year?

BK: That started the day after the championship game. However, it’s a balance of future planning and continuing to pause and celebrate the really cool accomplishments of this group.

LM: Do you have any additional thoughts or comments?

BK: I just want to thank everyone who supported our program throughout the season. The atmosphere around Central baseball this year was incredible. Our team felt that support. Most of all, I’m proud of the kind of young men this team has become, and will continue to grow into. Winning a state championship is special, but the growth inside and outside of baseball, and relationships they built along the way, will stay with them long after baseball is over. There is a special bond for this group that cannot be broken.

Note: Owen Baker is the only Panther to graduate this year. So the rest of the roster is eligible to return next season, including Joe Mendazona, OSAA’s Co-Player of the Year, and JT Girod, OSAA’s Pitcher of the Year. But the team will be playing in the Class 4A Oregon West Conference due to realignment.

James “Jim” Delbert Davis

1928-2026

James “Jim” Delbert

Davis was born in 1928 in Ontario, Oregon, to James Davis and Ferrell

Janet Boston Davis. Jim was 98 years old at the time of his passing.

Jim attended grade school in Ontario and later graduated from Mountain Home High School in Mountain

Home, Idaho. After graduation, Jim joined the US Army. He completed basic training in El Paso, Texas, and was later stationed in Seoul, Korea. During his offduty hours he learned to dance, a pastime that became a lifelong passion and brought him great joy throughout his life.

Following his military service, Jim attended University of Oregon, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and later a master’s degree. Before beginning his career in retail management with JCPenney in Port Townsend, Washington, Jim was working in Eugene where he met his first wife Rosalie “Sally” Holly. Jim and Sally were married in 1953 and later moved to Eugene, Oregon, so Jim could complete his education and pursue a career in teaching.

OBITUARIES

sales and investments.

During their marriage Jim and Sally welcomed two daughters, Susan and Laura, born just 18 months apart. Together they built their dream home in the woods near Dallas, Oregon where they raised their family. The family also enjoyed spending time at the home Jim and Sally built on Coeur d’Alene Lake in Idaho, creating many cherished memories there.

raise for the union’s members and 2 5% for workers at the Sheriff’s Office.

The union and the county are given 150 days to negotiate a new contract. The clock began ticking April 20. The next date the two sides meet is July 8

Jim taught for more than 20 years at Central High School in Monmouth, Oregon, where he made a lasting impact on many students. After his teaching career, he successfully transitioned into real estate

After Jim and Sally divorced, he later met his life partner, Jeanie Hall, in a dance class. Their shared love of ballroom dancing blossomed into a devoted partnership that lasted 26 years. Together they enjoyed RV travel, multiple cruises, sightseeing in Scotland and spending their winters in Palm Springs, California and later in Arizona. Jim and Jeanie also loved sailing on Fern Ridge Lake. Jim’s talent on the dance floor was legendary, and he was forever being complemented. One man told Jim he was “a legend on the dance floor”. He truly was.

Jim remained active and independent until the age of 96. He was

an exceptional handyman and builder, known for his creativity, skill and determination. He built a large workshop at his Dallas home and, at age 80, constructed a beautiful garden house in Jeanie’s backyard. A talented craftsman, electrician, auto mechanic, and auto body repair enthusiast, Jim took great pride in every project he undertook. He was also a huge “car guy” and loved driving his convertible sports car.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Peggy.

He is survived by his daughters, Susan Nisbet and Laura Hortsch (John); his grandchildren Sarah Head (Matt), Rosemary Raburn, Bill Hortsch (Shannon) and Ann Hoyer (Josh); great grandchildren Liam, Grace, Sam, Johnny, Matthew, Patrick and Kaleb. Jim is also survived by his love of 26 years, Jeanie.

Jim was a quietly generous man who helped countless people throughout his life. He found great satisfaction in making a positive difference for those in need and was always willing

“While leading the Polk County bargaining team, County Administrator Greg Hansen went over two months without providing any counter offers,” Milana Grant. AFSCME Communications Specialist explained. “He also told county workers that he did not plan to make any counter-offers before the 150-day mark and welcomed them to move straight to mediation – a major indication that he does not intend to bargain in good faith with the workers of Polk County.”

Hansen had a different recollection of that initial bargaining meeting.

“We were told they needed 4-5% COLA raises or they were going to go on strike,” Hansen told the I-O. “Our ability to pay at this time through the general fund at this time is scarce.”

The current labor agreement covers 265 county employees with 150 employees paying dues.

Everits said in the Local 173 has members in the Behavioral Health, Public Health, IT, Assessor’s Office, Clerk’s Office, Crisis Team and the District Attorney’s Office.

Without getting specific, Everits said the union has given the most ground toward the county’s position without the county giving anything in return.

“This isn’t a cheap place to live anymore. You know, five, 10 years ago, it was a little bit more to live comfortably,” Everits said. “And you know, it’s not safe from inflation around here

anymore.”

In addition, they disagree with the county’s assessment on how well its general fund is situated to handle a more robust COLA increase.

“The representative is saying that they are under water in their budget, but we have done an independent assessment that shows that they have come in under budget the last three years in a row,” Grant said. “They’ve gotten more revenue than they expected the last three years in a row. And we have contingency funds. We feel that there is definitely more money.”

In lieu of flowers, Jim’s wish was that others would extend kindness and generosity to those less fortunate and offer a helping hand whenever possible or provide a donation to Willamette Vital Health Hospice Care. At Jim’s request, there will be no service.

Jeanne Brown

Jan. 26, 1948 - April 5, 2026

Jeanne Marie Brown passed away of respiratory failure with her family at her side.

Jeanne was born and raised in Pendleton. She attended Oregon State University with a full

scholarship and graduated with a BS in Education. At OSU, she met her husband Frank Joseph (Joe) Brown. She returned to school to obtain an RN degree in 1978 As both a teacher and a nurse, Jeanne changed lives. She helped third graders learn how to read and helped deliver over 1 000 babies. She also worked in Home Health, as a School Nurse, and in hospitals.

Jeanne was dedicated to her family and called her kids and grandkids her “magnum opus.” She delighted in talking with her grandchildren, playing games and reading to them.

Jeanne was preceded in death by her husband Joe in September. She is survived by her children Melody, Andrew, April and Kristen, and her grandchildren Emily, Natalie, Andrew, Lucy, and Nikolai.

Jeanne was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, and her family remembers her warm laughter, holiday spirit and loving support of all those around her.

Hansen disagreed.

“Their side made a bunch of statements that we proved were incorrect and false. When we pointed that out provided proof, we haven’t heard that tactic since,” Hansen said. “They claim we had $2 6 million more than we actually have in the general fund. That tactic is laid to rest.” Hansen is confident the county and the union can reach an agreement as successfully done since he’s been in office in 1997

However, if an agreement is not reached, an impasse can be declared. At which time, a state mediator would be brought in to work

with both sides to reach an agreement. The proposal would come with a 30-day “cooling off period.”

“At which time, we would implement the contract and the union would live with it or go on strike,” Hansen said.

“Obviously, county’s position is we don’t want a strike. But we have to be fiscally responsible and offer what we can offer. Our ability to pay is not at the greatest at this time. Hopefully going to be good enough for the union to avoid a strike.”

“I would say it’s not completely off the table, but that’s always something to avoid,” Everits added.

NEWS & VIEWS

An open letter to the Polk County Commissioners

By DAVID C. PASTOR

To the honorable Jeremy Gordon, Lyle Mordhorst, and Craig Pope:

Obfuscation – “an act to obscure, confuse, and make difficult to understand,” aptly describes House Bill 2647, co-authored in 2025 by State Representative Paul Evans and others. It’s only for Monmouth.

Using HB2647 Monmouth city councilors will soon, if they have not already, send you their approval of a land swap of some 74 acres of two parcels of land, called Area 1 and Area 2, into the city’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). They want you to approve their action.

LIVE UP TO THE IDEALS OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

As we approached the celebration of the 250th anniversary of our founding, I’ve been reading and hearing more about our national origins. Several things struck me which are pertinent to our current situation.

Unless you are an indigenous person, you are, as I am, an immigrant or descendant of immigrants. In my case my ancestors came from France and Germany, some several centuries ago. Our history is not all about people yearning to be free, but includes a substantial portion of

Please read this and the next paragraph carefully.

HB2647 is a shortcut through the maze of land use laws. It limits you, as county commissioners, to review an “exchange of lands...only by the county as provided in section 50 (2), chapter 110, Oregon Laws 2024.” That section states that changes in an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) must comply with “sections 49 to 59 of this 2024 act.”

Then the bill immediately states that the important sections of the law in sections 49 to 59 do not apply (Sections 50 and 52-56 of chapter 110). Those excluded sections of law are the only ones that allow the county to review evidence the city has provided of a

greed.

Many of our founders were also looking to make a shilling by seizing lands occupied by indigenous tribes and making them “productive “ in European terms and keeping the profits. To simplify the acquisition of these occupied lands, our ancestors slaughtered many of the indigenous people, both before and after the revolution. (Our current president has even threatened to destroy an ancient civilization to accomplish his own nefarious aims and remove the entire population of Gaza to create a Middle East riviera.)

Much of our early “progress“ was built on

demonstrated need for the exchange.

HB2647 blindfolds Polk County commissioners and then instructs you to approve or deny. It’s a “pin-the-tail-on-thedonkey” blindfold game which is not a game. Lives, land values, and the safe livability of the streets of Monmouth are at risk.

Four city councilors carelessly supported the actions of city staff. Like cartoon monkeys who see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, they were unmoved when nearly 300 citizens protested in person or by letter. No citizens supported it, except California property owners to be enriched by the deal and invited local developers, like

the backs of enslaved people who were stolen from their African homes and transported in chains to work under subhuman conditions. These enslaved people were largely responsible for the construction of both the U.S. Capitol and the White House. While we cannot change the past, we have the ability to each do our small part to help ensure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. Instead, let’s strive to live up to the last words of the pledge of allegiance, “with liberty and justice for all.”

Dale Derouin, Dallas

Eric Olsen of Edwards Addition.

This request from Monmouth is ripe for costly lawsuits against the county from whatever party who feels injured. It is very low hanging legal fruit; actually, it is rotten fruit. County planning leaders graciously met with us. I won’t attempt to quote, however, I can accurately say they expressed serious concerns about what the city is proposing. So, what is your best action?

I ask that you, as Polk County Commissioners, take the only reasonable and responsible action: Do nothing. Do not approve. Do not deny. HB2647 allows this; it gives you no deadline or timeframe for action.

GOVERNMENT CAN ONLY GIVE WHAT YOU PAY FOR Independence is growing up, and growth is never free.

From Monmouth, I will admit some envy. The Civic Center and riverfront investments helped make Independence a stronger, more attractive city. They were good projects. But they were not free, and the bill did not disappear.

The city’s 2026-27 budget shows two Civic Center debt lines: $7 68 million scheduled through 2039-40, and $1 225 million scheduled through 2029-30. That once hidden debt service limits choices

This decision comes to you as we celebrate the birth of our nation 250 years ago. Brave men and women fought for freedom from the tyranny of King George III. One of those was Mary Ludwig Hays, nicknamed “Molly Pitcher’” She brought pitchers of water to the soldiers manning the cannons. When her husband was wounded at the Battle of Monmouth (how serendipitous), she stepped up and loaded the cannons. George Washington honored her with the rank of sergeant.

Those of us opposing the city’s proposal felt silenced like the subjects of King George III. “King Koontz” (mayor) restricted us to three minute snippets, but gave

today.

Now Independence is debating a roughly $12 50 net monthly fee increase for parks, recreation, and library services. Nobody likes new fees. People should ask questions. But the choice is not complicated: cut services, close the library, or pay for what residents say they want.

That is why Greg Ellis leading a referendum against the current council is hard to take. Ellis helped push the Civic Center forward without asking voters to approve a bond. Now the council left with that debt is being attacked for trying to pay for basic services honestly.

city staff and legal counsel hours to present their support. I’m thankful, however, that this conflict introduced me to many wonderful and wise people. As county leaders, you now have an opportunity to bravely step up. HB2647 is a confused bill; it’s contradictory gobbledygook. Tell Monmouth, “Please ask Salem legislators to clarify our role.”

The city has often said this is for a twenty year plan, so what’s the rush?

With appreciation for your labors on behalf of our beautiful county. David Pastor lives in Oregon and is a graduate of Bethel Theological Seminary in Minnesota (M.Div., M.Th.).

It also looks like Councilor Roden and a local tabloid-style “journalist” are using this as a partisan excuse to punish colleagues for doing the fiscally conservative thing: telling the truth about what services cost. The current council and city manager deserve a break. They are not hiding the problem. They are trying to clean it up.

Maybe Monmouth and Independence should discuss a library district. Maybe Polk County should. Either way, government is not magic. You pay for what you get.

Investigating the Bible: With One Mind

D.L. Moody is considered to be one the most influential evangelistic laymen America has produced. In the 1800s, before electricity powered public address systems, he preached to over 100 million people. Moody Bible Institute, which he founded, still thrives today. He was humble and without formal theological training or title. During an England evangelistic crusade, he was introduced as the “Reverend Mr. Moody, our cousin from Chicago.”

Moody stood and said, “I’m not ‘the Reverend Mr. Moody’ at all. I’m plain Dwight L. Moody, a Sabbath school worker. And then I’m not your ‘American cousin’. By the grace of God, I’m your brother.”

Early in Moody’s life, a minister showed him a concordance, an index of words in the Bible. It transformed his Bible study. He later encouraged his crowds to “…Take up the Bible with a concordance,…[it will] open up the Bible.”

A concordance reveals that the Greek adverb “with one mind” is in the New Testament eleven times, ten of these in the book of Acts. Its last use is by the apostle Paul at the end of one of his letters: “Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus, that ye may with one mind and with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(Underline added, Romans 15:5 6, King James Version used throughout).

The adverb had common use in ancient times. One early official wrote to a leader of an army that he had “…received certain information that the inhabitants of the village are with one accord in claiming your protection.”

The word’s use through the book of Acts reveals how the first church was of one mind and gives two essential tools they used to become and remain with one mind.

Prayer

“These all continued with one mind in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus and with his brethren.” (Acts 1:14).

College basketball coach, John Wooden, died 2010 at the age of 99. Ten

times his UCLA Bruins basketball teams won the NCAA championship, with a record seven consecutive wins.

He said, “When counseling my players who had problems off the court, I always recommend prayer.”

Problems in a church are prevented or resolved when members pray. Worship and fellowship

“And they continued daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their food with gladness and singleness of heart.” (Acts 2:46).

Long before that in 1985, she was a Navy pilot when men thought no woman should ever sit in the cockpit of a fighter. When she arrived for training in Corpus Christi, she was shunned. It was like she was invisible.

In their ready room, she heard a Marine student pilot bragging about his birthday gifts from home. She walked up close behind him and when he turned, she said, “I’d be happy to make you a birthday dinner and cake. Why don’t you invite four of your friends as well?

It’ll be fun.”

He was stunned. The next day, he quietly approached her with a

They had their dinner and cake and a wonderful time. The six became good friends throughout the training.

Before or after worship, the first church ate common meals. It gave them time to laugh together, to pray, to share their lives. They were friends, all focused on one thing.

It takes talent to perform at Indy Days

Cortlynn Stoddard and Izy Crabb perform a scene from “Suessical the Musical”. An outdoor production of the Dr. Seuss classic is set for Fridays through Sundays, July 17-26, First Baptist Church, Independence, The show is being presented by Arts Integrated Ministry. As for Stoddard, she has been in the last four Indy Days talent shows.

Singers, dancers and other entertainers shared their talents with a large crowd at Riverview Park on Friday. The annual event was part of this year’s Indy Days festivities. Contestants competed in the children’s, teen’s or adult’s division. This year’s panel of judges included Independence

extends beyond delivering high-energy entertainment.

Herrera, who was born in El Salvador and later built a professional music career in the Bay Area and Portland, founded the group to celebrate and preserve the musical traditions of Latin America and the Caribbean. The result is a sound that refuses to stay in one lane. Pachanga moves among cumbia, salsa and bachata, with cha-chacha, boleros, Afro-Latin rock and Latin jazz also part of the mix.

“We pride ourselves on being multi-genre within the Latin sounds,”

pre-sale. Children 10 and under are free.

Enger’s introduction to the group came early.

“My first tape I ever owned was ‘License to Ill.’ It was given to me by my next-door neighbor when I was 6 years old, and that was a wrap,” he said. His admiration grew from there.

For Enger and his bandmates, the appeal extends beyond the music. Grand Royale admires how the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers balanced creativity, humor and social awareness while continually reinventing themselves through punk, hip hop, funk and instrumental experimentation.

Mayor Kate Schwarzler, Monmouth Mayor Cec Koontz, former Independence Mayor John McArdle and recording artist Molly Martinka.

The Talent Show winners were:

KIDS DIVISION

1st - Thiago Ramos

2nd - Skylee Peck

Herrera said.

Those choices reflect the artists who inspired Herrera, including salsa legend Hector Lavoe, guitar icon Carlos Santana and South American artists such as Pastor Lopez and Cheo Garcia. Through them, Pachanga is able to reach longtime Latin music fans along with listeners new to the genres.

“The sets are put together considering the event and expected audience,” Herrera said. “We want to present a diverse repertoire that crosses communities and unites cultures.”

Music remains one of the world’s few universal languages. Or, as Herrera noted, “Music is

“To be able to make amazing music, be silly and fun, while at the same time being socially conscious, has always been alluring,” Enger stated.

Grand Royale formed shortly after the 2012 death of Beastie Boys founding member Adam Yauch, also known as MCA.

Timing was intentional.

“We started a few months after MCA passed away in hopes that we could carry on the legacy and give fans who never got the chance to see them live an opportunity to celebrate them,” Enger stated.

Recreating that experience has not been easy.

Unlike many tribute acts that rely heavily on backing tracks and programmed music, Grand Royale performs with

... magic.”

His philosophy shapes Pachanga’s live shows. Herrera often explains the background and origins of songs between numbers, giving listeners a better understanding of the traditions behind the music.

He also watches the crowd and adjusts.

“Being real helps people connect,” Herrera said.

One of his favorite memories from last year’s Monmouth performance formed as children gathered near the stage and began moving to the rhythms.

“We loved the relaxed environment at the beginning and watching how the energy builds as

a live band. Capturing the layered production and sample-heavy sound of the Beastie Boys’ catalog remains one of the group’s biggest challenges.

“I believe we have managed to do a great job capturing their sound,” Enger stated.

Enger performs as Mike D, Kirby Jeffries as MCA and Chris Canty as Tony Oakland. The trio have known each other since they were teenagers.

Canty later introduced Enger to bassist Archie Heald, known on stage as White Chocolate Thunder. Enger credits Heald with becoming the backbone of the group.

“Archie is an amazing bass player and is able to help the entire band learn the songs and recreate the sound,” Enger said.

we play,” Herrera said. “The children dancing in front of the stage stood out most. That was very special.”

Dufner said the ability to connect makes Pachanga a natural fit for Music in the Park.

The annual summer concert series has long emphasized variety and community connection. Pachanga connects to both while reflecting the changing demographics of the Mid-Willamette Valley.

“Pachanga adds to the diversity of genres represented in the music lineup,” Dufner said.

“Their music also connects M-I Town with our growing Hispanic and Latino community.”

The rest of the lineup includes musicians who perform in original bands and other tribute projects throughout the region.

Grand Royale discovered it had something special during an early performance opening for Zepperella at Dante’s in Portland. The band began its set with “Rhymin’ and Stealin’.”

“We could immediately feel the energy from the crowd, which in turn gave us the confidence to know we could rock any house anywhere,” Enger stated.

The setlist reflects the evolution of the Beastie Boys rather than a single era.

Grand Royale performs at least one song from every one of their hip hop albums while also incorporating material from the group’s

The musicians behind the sound come from a variety of backgrounds as well.

The lineup includes Ricky Galvan on guitar, Terry Bell on bass, Gabriela Monroy on trumpet and vocals, Clayton Hall on trumpet, Molly Gale on saxophone, Eddy Cruz on timbales, OB Addy on conga, Jesse Salas on drums, John Bradshaw on piano and Herrera on vocals.

Together they create a full sound capable of moving from intimate ballads to dance numbers seamlessly.

“People have been incredibly supportive,” he said.

The band’s performances now stretch from Roseburg to Portland. Herrera hopes the journey continues.

“Our goal is to take our show around the state and further,” he said.

Admission is free. For more information, visit mbamonmouth.com/ music-in-the-park/. Music in the Park is sponsored by the Monmouth Business Association, the City of Monmouth and other community partners.

Herrera believes the group’s growth reflects a growing appetite for Latin music throughout Oregon. As someone who has spent years performing in larger markets, he takes pride in what Pachanga has built closer to home.

instrumental releases.

The band has a particular affection for songs from “Paul’s Boutique,” although Enger acknowledges that fans often gravitate toward the better-known material from “License to Ill” and “Check Your Head.”

Years of research have gone into replicating the look and feel of a Beastie Boys concert. Enger estimates he has watched nearly every live performance video available online while searching for inspiration. The band experiments with outfits, props and audience participation to recreate the chaotic fun that defined many Beastie Boys performances.

Many Grand Royale fans grew up with the Beastie Boys during the 1980s and 1990s, but crowds range from people

in their 30s to longtime fans in their 70s. What the band enjoys most is seeing listeners introduce a new generation to the music.

“We love meeting fans who bring their kids to the shows and tell us they never got a chance to see the Beasties live while they were performing and now they feel like they did,” Enger stated. That reaction is what the band is striving to create when River’s Edge opens its summer season.

Rounding out this summer’s concert lineup are: Animal (Maroon 5) on July 17

Taken by the Sky (Stevie Nicks), July 24

Shoot to Thrill (AC/ DC), July 31

One year probation asked for Polk DA Polk County District

Attorney John Snyder, accused of unethical and unlawful conduct by the Oregon State Bar, will be placed on probation for one year if a recommendation from the Disciplinary Review Board is upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court. Snyder is accused of illegally administering several probate estates after he left private practice and became District Attorney on Nov. 1, 1968

The Disciplinary Review Board’s

recommendation was filed with the state bar on June 18. It goes beyond the recommendation of the Trial Committee, a previous group that reviewed and held hearings on the complaints against Snyder. The Trial Committee recommended only public reprimand.
