Aumsville’s summer reading and recreation programs received a much needed financial boost.

“We got two wonderful grants – one for $5,000 from The Ford Family Foundation and a $75,000 grant from the Mid-Willamette Valley United Way,” said Lora Hofmann, city administrative assistant.

Hofmann said the city’s summer program, run by donations, grants, volunteers and fundraising, would not have gotten the United Way funding without GROW-EDC, a program that offers free, one-on-one business coaching to any entrepreneur in the North Santiam Canyon.

Executive Director Allison McKenzie said GROW was happy to be the fiscal sponsor for United Way grant, which is to be distributed over two years.

“Every penny of this grant will go directly to Aumsville’s collaborative education program,” she said. “Fostering early engagement in reading and learning makes

a critical difference in a child’s ability to succeed economically as an adult, which further enhances economic viability for our entire area.”

McKenzie credited Aumsville’s programs for making learning and reading fun for kids while offering parents tools to help with reading and homework.

“Creating this culture of enjoyable learning in a family context is something

Aumsville does beautifully, and we’re thrilled to be part of it,” she said. “They started with eight kids six years ago, and on their first day this summer, they had 207 kids and parents there.”

Hofmann said a child who reads becomes and adult who reads.

“Common sense says that investing in children is one of the best hopes for an area’s future because you have better educated, well-rounded adults,” she said.

Hofmann said the United Way grant will provide funding for the summer reading and recreation programs now and help fund an August Academy at Aumsville Elementary School.

“The academy is a three-week program that will provide specialized teaching to children who may have lost basic skills over the summer or were below grade level at the end of the school year,” she said. “Aumsville Elementary Principal Cyndi Ganfield has some wonderful things planned!”

Aumsville partners with Stayton Library, Family Building Blocks, Cascade School District, Aumsville Fire Department, Oregon Pacific Area Health Education Center, and GROW-EDC to “help Aumsville kids become the best-read kids around,” Hofmann said.

The book grants for the summer program, This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land, provides Aumsville with boxes of books to distribute not only to reading program participants but to the Stayton and public libraries, Hofmann said.

“We are also donating board books and pre-K books to Family Building Blocks, who are taking them into homes where there are not many books. Research says that a child that owns or has in their home 10 books is a child that will do better in school and be less likely to fall behind. Our summer program is 10-weeks long, and each child gets a free book each week. That means that we are doing our best to make sure that every child owns 10 books they like to read.”

Something Fun

New view Santiam Stampede adds arena floor seating to up the action By Mary Owen

This year, the Santiam Stampede’s rodeo arena will be shorter, with a ring of seating and some seating right on the arena floor.

“Fans seated in these bleachers will have a seat that is up close to all the dirt-flying rodeo action,” said Corky Justis, spokeswoman for the 19th annual event held July 17-18 at the Sublimity Harvest Festival Grounds.

“We are excited for the change, knowing it is going to bring together the contestants, the animal athletes, the clown, the announcer and the fans,” she added. “We feel it’s going to add to the excitement of the show.”

On Friday night once inside the rodeo, kids can have fun for free in the Kid’s Corral, thanks to Sublimity Insurance.

“The little partners can take advantage of all there is, at no charge,” Justis said. “Each year, we change things up in the corral, but the little ones can always count on pony rides and inflatables along

with each year’s offerings. This year, we’ll be adding miniature donkey cart rides, new games and prizes, and photo opportunities. Saturday the kids can enjoy the corral at a small cost.”

The 2015 Miss Santiam Canyon Stampede Queen Tiana Smith will make appearances. When she isn’t studying to become a dental hygienist, the 2012 Silverton High School grad loves riding,

being outdoors, and hanging out with friends and family.

“I especially love boating and spending time out on the lake,” said Smith, who owns Prince, a Pony of America gelding.

“What he lacks in size, he makes up for in personality. I plan to use him during my time as the Santiam Canyon Stampede Queen, so if you see a small spotted horse at rodeos this summer, chances are that is Prince and I, so come say hi!”

Mutton Busting and Junior Barrel races are crowd pleasers and can be viewed both Friday and Saturday nights, Justis said. Registration for these events opens at 8 a.m. July 6 at Clippers Unlimited in Stayton, and close when the events fill.

The rodeo starts at 7 p.m., but gates open at 5:30 both nights with NPRA Rodeo Action, junior barrel racing, mutton busting and donkey races.

Justin Homan, X-Game gold medalist with Metal Mulisha, will be there. After Party in the entertainment tent will have

music ny Lexi Tucker & Trevor Tagle.

A Cowboy Breakfast will be held at 7 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday at the Sublimity Fire Hall. On the menu are pancakes, eggs, ham, orange juice, coffee and milk. Adults are $5, and kids and seniors are $3, with all proceeds going to the Volunteer Firefighters Association.

Santiam Stampede tickets are available at area Wilco stores, Double H Western Wear in Salem, and Riverview Community Bank in Aumsville. Adults are $13 pre-sale or $17 at the door; children 5-12, $9 pre-sale and $13 at the door; children 4 and under, free.

Rodeo sponsors include: Freres Lumber Co., Power Auto Group, Power Motorsports, Siegmund Excavation & Construction, Allied Rock, Frank Lumber Co., Sublimity Insurance, Coors, CW Specialty Lumber Co., North Santiam Paving Co., ProWest Productions, and 99.5 The Wolf.

Mill City magic 4th festivities Lake fireworks July 11thDetroit Lake’s Fireworks Over the Lake falls on Saturday, July 11 this year.

“We will fire them off this year from a new and improved location,” said Bob Franz, a member of Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association, the major sponsor for the annual event.

“Everyone should be able to see them from just about any location around the lake.”

Franz calls the approximately 30-minute show “spectacular,” an annual favorite, causing the tiny resort town to swell from a few hundred to thousands.

The fireworks show is funded by local residents, businesses and clubs, including DLRABA, and annual events such as the Cruise In and Fishing Derby.

On Friday, July 10, people can enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks at the annual pre-fireworks extravaganza and fundraiser, held 5-11 p.m. at 455 Clester Road, across from Kane’s Marina. The barbecue is children and family-friendly. Questions can be directed to Sandi Elwood at 503-881-5226.

Area campgrounds can fill as early as January. The Oregon Department of Forestry camps, which are first-come, first-served, may offer last-minute opportunities for families interested in camping, organizers said.

Organizers encourage viewers to dress warmly and carry a high-power flashlight to get around.

Helping Hands

Sharing resources Groups compile support guide to aid local residents By Mary Owen

Recently updated and reformatted, the Santiam Canyon Resource Guide is available online to help local residents connect with community resources.

“Through this guide, residents have the opportunity to locate resources in their own community whom they can make a connection with and find support through,” said Julie Hilty with Family Building Blocks.

The guide provides resource information for assistance with rent and utilities, food, household items, transportation, employment and legal, housing and shelter, education, parenting support and medical. Also listed are support services and groups and area hotlines.

Family Building Blocks is a member of the Canyon Collaborative, a local group that exists to “explore and enhance services to families and individuals in Santiam Canyon communities by coordinating and collaborating with all local nonprofits doing good work,” Hilty said.

Other members in the Canyon Collaborative include:

Shawn Hazel, Calvary Lutheran Church; Priscilla Glidewell, Safe Families for Children; Lisa Graber, Friends of the Family; Katinka Bryk, Stayton Public Library; and Rhonda Wolf, United Way Mid-Willamette Valley.

Hilty said the resource guide, created five years ago, was overhauled and updated at the request made by the Stayton Police Department for an up-to-date list of local services that officers could share with residents interested in finding support.

“When residents are empowered to make choices that help them in identifying and creating goals toward self-sufficiency, they feel more confidence and self-worth,” Hilty said.

Downtown Stayton will buzz later this month as the Santiam SummerFest celebrates its 20th anniversary.

“SummerFest brings thousands of people to Stayton’s historic downtown Third Avenue,” said Kelly Schreiber, executive director of the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce. “Many are from out of town, perhaps getting their first look at the community. We work hard to make it a fun event with something for people of all ages to enjoy.”

SummerFest also offers businesses a chance to showcase their business and connect to potential customers, Schreiber said.

More than 100 vendors are expected Saturday, July 25, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Third Avenue. Offerings range from art and collectibles to business displays, food booths and entertainers. Visitors can feather their nests with vintage finds at Vintage Village, Third and Washington.

Kicking off the day is the Stayton Volunteer Firefighters Breakfast, all you can eat, 7-11 a.m. at Pioneer Park, Seventh and Marion. Cost is $5. Lunch will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It right next door to Stayton SummerFest Car Show with vintage, classic, antique, specialty, hot rods, street rods and muscle

cars. The show runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Pioneer Park. At 3 p.m., more than 200 cars cruise up Marion to First. Cost is $10 if registered by July 15, $15 at the gate. Proceeds go to The Brent Strohmeyer Foundation. A shuttle will run from the car show to the street fair.

Downtown events start at 9 a.m. with the Pet Parade, lining up at the NW Preferred Federal Credit Union parking lot at Third and Florence and ending at the Family Dog Show, sponsored by Stayton Veterinary Clinic. Dog Show registration at Third and Virginia is at 9 a.m., a half hour before “Fido” struts his stuff.

The Entertainment Stage opens at 10, showcasing music, dance and other talent. The adjacent Food Court with covered seating will have an expanded offerings, including beer from Santiam Brewing Co.

New this year to Teen Scene is Human Foosball, and 3 -on-3 basketball returns, joining the Bed Races, 11 a.m.; KidZone, all day at Third and Marion; Street Art, sponsored by the Stayton Public Library Foundation; Historic Brown House tours; and the Rotary Club Ducky Derby at 3 p.m. from the creek bridge to the Community Center Park.

After leaving his native Ghana, West Africa, Courage Minten is loving life in Sublimity.

“I think he’s doing amazingly well and adapting better than we expected,” said Kim Minten, mom to the boy she and her husband, Russ, adopted in 2014.

“It’s a time of discovery since he is learning so many new things all the time and asking questions.”

The Mintens adopted Courage after their daughter, Alex, met him while on a trip to Dodowa, Ghana in 2010 for a college internship, eventually encouraging her parents to consider making him a part of their family.

“When I first saw Courage, I noticed he was very quiet and dedicated to his schoolwork,” Alex said.

“I took an immediate interest in him. I watched as he would let all of the other kids get food before he would. There were times when there wouldn’t be any food left by the time he got in line. His huge heart and radiant smile touched me from day one.”

Courage was one of several students sponsored to attend a Christian school in the West African country, and lived at the local orphanage where Alex volunteered while she worked toward her undergraduate degree in human services from Oregon State University. “Alex came to the orphanage I was at with other

volunteers,” Courage said. “I didn’t talk to her much at first. We started hanging out and would do puzzles together. Alex gave me an Oregon State T-shirt.”

Soon their friendship grew, and Alex convinced her parents, Russ and Kim, and other family members to sponsor Courage’s education with the hope that someday he would attend college or visit the U.S.

“Alex returned to Ghana in 2012 for three months and things at the orphanage had changed,” Kim said. “They were taking on more kids than they could feed and had room for. She called us asking if we would think about adopting Courage, and that she could get the process started while she was there.”

The Mintens prayed about this life-changing decision and decided to pursue the idea. In October 2012, they started adoption proceedings.

“The process was much longer than we ever imagined,” Kim said “In a nutshell, we started the adoption process and it went well until the Ghana government put a ban on adoptions in May 2013 to investigate whether people were child trafficking adopted children. While adoptions still trickled through the system, it slowed things down immensely.”

The Mintens were finally granted a court decision making Courage their son in September of 2013.

By Kristine Thomas Jenna Bochsler said the word “inspirational”is defined along the lines of “something orsomeone that makes a person want to dosomething.”

So what makes a high school studentmotivated or inspired to achieve his or hergoals?Kennedy High School’s Class of 2014valedictorians Jenna Bochsler, Phoebe Hilland Emily Schmidt and salutatorians BrentLang and Cheyla Moranchel each offer adifferent answer.

Jenna BochslerDescribing herself as an easily inspiredperson, Jenna said her motivation comesfrom her hero and role model – GrandmaBarb.

“My grandma is hands-down the sweetestwoman ever to walk this Earth,” Jenna said.“She never has one bad thing to say aboutanyone.”“Grandma Barb lives to make other peoplehappy,” Jenna said, adding her grandmaalways brings a smile to her face.

“She spends a lot of her hours at the St.Mary’s Catholic Church volunteering withvarious events and spreading her positiveattitude to everyone around her,” Jenna said.Her grandmother also volunteers atSilverton Hospital“Grandma Barb will do anything for anyone,which is why I strive to be just like hersome day,” Jenna said. “Nursing has a lot todo with being there for others and puttingmyself in someone else’s shoes, just like she

does every day. If I end up as half thewoman she is, I will know I did my liferight. “

Phoebe Claire Hill For Phoebe, her inspiration starts with heralarm clock, reminding her it’s time to getout of bed. Motivation, she said, is what getsyou out of bed in the morning.“Inspiration comes from those yousurround yourself, it guides the way tosuccess. Motivation, however, comes fromwithin. People generate their ownmotivation,” she said.

She said she is driven by two mainphilosophies – “Know more today about theworld than I knew yesterday. And alwaysstrive for happiness; for yourself and thosearound you. You’d be surprised how far thatgets you.”She credits her sports medicine teacher, Mr.Crapper, for inspiring her to study medicine.“He exposed me to the incredible impactmedicine can have on someone’s life, andmade me realized that I wanted to be a partof that beauty,” she said.

She plans to work hard next year so shecan travel the world or and perhapstransfer to an out-of-state school.

In October, they requested his visa interview. A month later, after jumping through many legal hoops and with his visa granted, they brought Courage home to Sublimity.

“We arrived in the U.S. with our son the week before Thanksgiving and with much to be thankful for,” Kim said.

When Courage left his native Ghana for Oregon, he thought much about traveling to a “whole new world.”

“It was my first time flying,” he said. “It was a weird feeling taking off in the plane.”

During his first few months with his new family, Courage enjoyed trips to the beach, hiking at Silver Falls, visiting OMSI, going to Timberline for his first glimpse of snow. He played basketball and soccer, rode his bike, listened to music – all typical teenage activities.

He attended St. Mary Catholic School, where teachers and staff helped him to adjust to his new cultural and educational environment.

The family has strong connections to Catholic education. Russ and Kim both graduated from Regis, and Alex and her sister, Mackenzie, attended St. Mary and Regis.

Now an OSU graduate, Alex works as a social services

director at a nursing home in Wilsonville. Mackenzie will be a sophomore at the University of Portland where she is studying to become a nurse. And Courage is looking forward to eighth grade at St. Mary. Meanwhile he is enjoying playing summer soccer for Stayton High School. Most recently, he went on his first camping trip with his family to the Metolius River in Camp Sherman.

“I liked hiking and sitting around the campfire,” Courage said. “It was pretty cool. It’s fun to spend time away from

home in the woods and experience new things.”

So where does he want to go on his next camping trip? “Somewhere I can swim and go fishing,” he said.

According to his mom, two more camping trips have been planned, including a family reunion weekend where Kim says, “He will meet a lot of new cousins.”

“He wants to try waterskiing,” she added. “And we usually go backpacking, which we are trying to do in August.”

Meanwhile, day trips have been planned to the zoo, state fair, rodeo and Portland Saturday Market, Kim said.

“We are also attending a wedding in July so it will be his first American wedding,” said Kim, who celebrated 25 years of marriage with Russ about nine days after bringing Courage home from Ghana.

Kim said the experience of adopting Courage has changed her perspective on the American way of life. “I look at everything differently, and try to look at things through his eyes,” she said. “I want him to remember what it’s like to do without and appreciate all the things God has given him.

“We have learned so much,” she added. “It took a lot of courage for him to leave his familiar culture and start a new life. Courage is adjusting amazingly well.”

‘I look at everything differently, and try to look at things through his eyes. I want him to remember what it’s like to do without and appreciate all the things God has given him...’

Next time you open the door to find a salesman trying to sell you the “latest and greatest” gidget, ask to see his permit.

Anyone peddling wares door-to-door in Stayton will now require obtaining a permit from the city. Those brazen enough to think they don’t need one could be fined.

Stayton Police Chief Rich Sebens said the city has required a solicitor’s permit for years. It is required for businesses who sell door-to-door.

However, he emphasized, the permit isn’t required for religious organizations, school children or youth groups doing legitimate fundraising.

“In other words, kids selling cookie dough for school fundraising, local youth sports teams selling beef jerky or candy bars, and churches going door-to-door inviting people to their church event are exempt,” Sebens said.

The cost for a permit is $150 per business and one employee, and $25 for each additional employee. For example, a business with eight people selling widgets

door-to-door would pay $175 for seven employees and $150 for the business and one employee for a total of $325.

To assure a solicitor is legitimate, look for the photo ID permit that he or she must wear around the neck, Sebens said.

“We encourage people to call when they encounter someone going door-to-door without a Stayton permit,” he said. “A violation of this is a $500 fine.”

Applicants undergo a limited background check by the police to make sure they have not been convicted recently for crimes such as fraud, theft, sex crimes and “stranger” misconduct, Sebens said.

“The city does not guarantee the person who receives the permit will not commit a crime while going door-to-door, but we check to see if they have a history of criminal activity or not,” he said.

“A process in place draws legitimate groups, and helps keep crimes from happening.”

Sebens said people can be denied a permit if they have been convicted of crimes such as theft, identity theft and fraud. The city also does not verify the quality of

the product or service being sold, he warned.

“The permit only shows that the person took the proper steps to be allowed to go door-to-door in Stayton,” he said.

“A lot of times people come into town from elsewhere by the vanload. Some will be really pushy. Sometimes the person receives the product, sometimes not.”

Sebens said solicitors sometimes claim they have a permit that they fail to produce, or they show a carbon copy of a license that is not valid.

That’s why residents need to show a little skepticism or simply say “no thank you.”

“The other trick they do is say, ‘My boss has the permit, and he is on the other side of town,’” he added. “They often hide when they see us coming. Once we even had a salesperson die inside a house while pitching his product, and we finally caught the van driver by using an unmarked car. The boss asked if he needed to pick up the man. To top it all off, it was the guy’s birthday!”

First Tuesdays in SublimityForget about Fridays. Or Wednesdays. Any other day of the week. In Sublimity, it’s all about Tuesdays in the summertime.

Sublimity is having First Tuesdays in the park this summer on July 7 and Aug. 4, 5 to 8 p.m. at the park by St. Boniface, across from Sublimity School.

Vendors will offer items from home-based businesses, and Tony Graham

will entertain with his music.

“The August event will be combined with National Night Out, which is hosted by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and the city,” said Carrie Corcoran, finance director/city recorder.

In August, the city and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office will provide hot dogs and hamburgers, and residents are asked to bring a side dish to share.

Vendors can participate by picking up a

vendor application at the Sublimity City Hall. For information, call 503-769-5475.

Movies in the ParkYoung Mobile Entertainment’s Movies in the Park will be July 11, 18, Aug. 1, 15 and 29.

Dale Young, owner/founder of Young Mobile Entertainment, will screen movies in Stayton’s Community Park again this year, thanks to local sponsors.

On the schedule are: The Lego Movie, July 11; Tangled, July 18; Top Gun, Aug. 1; The Incredibles, Aug. 15; and Guardians of the Galaxy, Aug. 29. Weather permitting, movies start at dusk in the park behind the Stayton Public Library.

“People can bring their own snacks and drinks,” Young said. “Remember, no alcoholic beverages.” To sponsor a movie or for more information, call 503-769-8048 or e-mail [email protected].

Regis High continued to blaze a trail of success in small-school baseball.

The Rams, who were involved in the playoffs for the 26th consecutive season, advanced to the Class 2A-1A semifinals before falling to eventual champion Knappa.

“This is something that is not taken for granted,” veteran Rams coach Don Heuberger told Our Town. “It is extremely difficult to get into the playoffs and even harder to win in the playoffs.”

This year’s Regis squad stormed through the tough Tri-River with an unblemished record 14-0 record and the Rams thumped Grant Union 16-3 and North Douglas 25-2 to advance to the semis.

The Rams’ squad featured eight seniors who helped the baseball program – and the overall athletic program – put on an impressive run of achievement.

“The 2015 group of senior baseball players have advanced to the OSAA semifinals in football, basketball, and

baseball the last two years,” Heuberger said. “We also advanced to the semifinals in baseball in 2012 and several of the seniors were freshman but contributors to that team’s success.”

With success came post-season honors. Five Rams were selected to the all-state team, led by first-team infielder Tim Frith and first-team outfielder Blake Minten. Both players are seniors. Sophomore outfielder Javon Logan was a second-team pick and sophomore pitcher

Bryce Piete and senior infielder Matt Wiltsey won third-team recognition.

Other seniors on the squad were Aaron Guzman, Casey Dailey, Caleb Frost, Wyatt Keudell and Paden Reynolds

And then there is the wily veteran in the wraparound shades in the third-base coaching box. Heuberger, who just completed his 37th year at Regis, is No. 2 all-time in baseball wins in state history and could hit 700 next season. His Rams won state titles in 2001 and 2003 and have finished second in 1985, 1991 and 2007.

Elk Hoop Shoot: Sharpshooting basketball standout Jacob Axmaker continues to shine at the national level. Jacob, an 11-year-old at Sublimity Elementary School, shot his way to the national Elks Hoop Shoot Championships at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

Jacob, who was representing Silverton Elks Lodge, No. 2210, finished second

in his age division at the national event, being bested only by Zocko Littleton Jr of Atlanta. Jacob moved up three spots in the national rankings this year after finishing fifth in last year’s national tournament, which is open to shooters aged 8 to 13. His journey had numorous stops including one to Keizer, that hosted the state championships. When Jacob won there he moved on to regional competition in Vancouver, Wash. And a victory there earned Jacob and his parents an all-expenses paid trip to Springfield for the national event. Jacob’s performance earned him a trophy, a plaque, a basketball and a T-shirt.

Stayton runs: It’s not too late to participate in the annual 4th of July runs. Day-of-the-race registration for the 3K run/walk, 5K trail run and the 10K run begins at 8 a.m. July 4 at the Stayton Community Center on West Burnett Street. Race fees are $15 per person. Races start at 9 a.m.

A dedicated Eagle Scout helped add another brick to the foundation of improvements at Regis High School’s track and field facility.

Rams senior Jacob Adams, a member of Troop 50, led the fundraising and project coordination for a new storage shed that is now safely securing track and field equipment.

“What he designed and built with the help of volunteers and the guidance of his father, Ken Adams, is a first-class building capable of storing (high jump and pole vault) pits and a lot more,” said Regis track and field and cross country coach Mike Bauer.

“This project was developed on his own accord,” said Regis spokeswoman Alli Erhardt. “It was Jacob’s dedication and motivation that saw the project through to completion. He wrote letters to organizations, met with business owners

and solicited the help of many local sponsors.”

Here is a list of the sponsors Adams worked with: AgWest, D&W Automotive, Farmer’s Insurance (Michael Bochsler), Figaro’s Pizza, Freres Building Supply, Industrial Fasteners, Knife River Corporation, Knights of Columbus, Mike Adams Construction, Mike Jaeger, PBS, PDM Steel, Regis Athletic Association, Roth’s of Stayton, Safeway, Scales NW, Stayton Road Runners, Tim and Debi O’Bryant and Valley Rolling.

Adams recruited students from both Regis and Stayton high schools to build the storage shed.

“I like to give back to the community,” said Adams, who has been involved in Scouting since the second grade.

“I know I have talent in the metal working field and I’m so glad I can use those skills to give back to Regis.

I’ve always been amazed by the names some parents choose for their children.

Some are practical.

For example, my Mom always said she chose Carl because she wanted to a make sure I could spell it.

I don’t know what that says about her faith in my abilities, but to this day I have not misspelled my name.

Mission accomplished.

Other parents rely on traditional family names.

That’s fine.

If your great grandfather was named Bananafana Fofana, you can name your child whatever you want from the Fofana family.

But sometimes, names are creative, to the point of being, well, a bit bizarre.

When we lived in Alaska, one set of parents decided to to call their son “Boy” until he was old enough to choose a name. I never heard what he chose, but I assume it wasn’t Boy, or Bananafana Fofana.

Other parents chose outdoorsy names.

One boy was named Skiff, presuming that he would like the water. Another was named Brick, a solid name if there ever was one.

When my wife was student teaching, she ran into some interesting names. One boy was named JNU, the abbreviation the Alaska Ferry System uses for Juneau. At least he’ll never get lost.

One rule I always heard about naming a child is to pretend you are yelling the child’s names at sporting

event or at the playground. There are definitely some names that should not be shouted out loud. And while they may look good on paper, the name doesn’t translate well when spoken out loud.

Maybe that’s why some people change their names when they become adults.

An acquaintance switched from Gladys to Eve. Hey, if she liked it better, who’s to argue?

Still other parents have veered toward movie or television stars’ names.

Years ago, when we lived in Louisiana, I knew a kid named Hoppy. This was when Hopalong Cassidy was popular in the movies. Come to think of it, I also knew a Roy and a Dale, as in Rogers and Evans.

Still others were named for colors. Red has always been popular. One of my favorite names of all time was the character Red Green, whose show used to be on Canadian TV and PBS.

The reason I bring this up is I was thinking of starting a new business.

I want to be a name consultant. A name consultant is important because some parents have a difficult time

deciding what to call their little bundle of joy.

Sometimes that uncertainty bridges over to another JNU.

As a name consultant, for a small fee, I would work with parents to develop a list of possibilities. I would guarantee that all of them would be spelled correctly, or at least have an adequate number of vowels.

Once junior is born, the parents could just pick a name from the list.

Or not. It would be up to them.

Before our oldest son was born, we had decided to name him Maximilian. For practically the entire pregnancy, we referred to the baby as Max, although we didn’t even know whether he/she was a boy/girl. I suppose if she was a girl she’d have been Maxine.

But he was a boy, and the first thing we did was name him Paul. I don’t know why. We just figured he looked like a Paul instead of a Max.

I totally understand how parents think when they’re trying to figure out a good name.

It’s a tough decision.

That’s why a name consultant could come in handy.

Now, if I could only come up with a good name for the business….
