Albany company gives sH woman's home a new roof
By Scan C. Morgan
Of The New Era
Mary Carter of Sweet Home was one
of two recipients of new roofs provided by
Stutzman and Kropf Contractors, Inc., of Al-
bany this year.
Carter, who lives in the 200 block of 9th
Avenue, received her roof on May 25.
"They had a little contest in the Albany
• Democrat-Herald," Carter said. "My neigh-
bor saw it, and she gave it to my daughter."
Two of her daughters nominated her for
the free roof.
"They did a beautiful job," Carter said.
"It doesn't even look like the same place."
"This is our fourth year of doing what we
consider giving back to the community," Said
Eugene Horvath, vice president and partner in
Stutzman and Kropf.
For the past four years, the company has
given away a new roof, he said. Recipients
are nominated by others with a letter of 200
words or less.
The recipients must be contributors to
the community but lack the resources to re-
place damaged roofs, Horvath said. Their
roofs must be leaky and in need of immediate
repair.
The letters are reviewed by a panel from

Stutzman and Kropf employees replace the roof for free on a Ninth Avenue home belonging
to Mary Carter.
Stutzman and Kropf, the Albany Democrat- tured in Oregon, Horvath said. Shingles are

All of the roof materials are manufac- This year, Stutzman and Kropf expand-
ed the giveaway to two roofs, The company
completed the first roof in Albany a week ear-
lier. On May 25, Stutzman and Kropf trucks
and employees rolled up to Carter's door just
about 7 a.m. and completed Carter's roof and
hosted a barbecue just after noon.
The panel selected Carter, a mother of
five, grandmother of 17, great-grandmother
of 33 and great-great-grandmother of two
from 130 nominations from Florence to Eu-
gene and Newport to Sweet Home, Horvath
said. There were six finalists. The panel in-
terviewed the finalists before awarding roofs
to two.
Carter's roof had four active leaks, with
bad dry rot in the house, Horvath said.
Her husband died in 2005, Horvath said,
and she used the last of tile cash she had avail-
able afterward to buy materials to replace her
roof. Her family installed the new roof, but
the roof didn't hold up and started leaking.
Carter is active in her church, and based
on information from her neighbors, she has
taken in people who need help, Horvath said.
Carter said she attends the Full Gospel
Church of Sweet Home.
"The Lord has just absolutely blessed me
in so many ways," Carter said, and she also
thanked Stutzman and Kropf.

five years.
They succeed Ryan Beck at
Hawthorne and Derek Barnhurst at
Oak Heights. Beck is taking a posi-
tion in Creswell, and Barnhurst is
moving to Wyoming.
When Supt. Don Schrader
learned that Beck had been hired
in Creswell, he surveyed the Haw-
thorne staff and set up a committee
including, two teachers, a special
education teacher, the secretaries, a
couple of classified employees and
a parent.
The committee spent three days
screening applications, Schrader
said, and it chose five people to in-
terview.
In the meantime, Barnhurst
turned in his resignation, Schrader
said. He set up a similar process at
Oak Heights. The Oak Heights com-
mittee selected the same five for in-
terviews but added three more.
Augustadt and Henry were each
committee's first choice, Schrader
said. "It made it easy for me."
" They were his choices too, he
said.
"From what I know of him (Au-
gustadt), I think he is an elementary
principle,;' Schrader said. "He's a
kid-first person."
He has run the school's PBIS
program and helped create a climate
of togetherness, Schrader said, and
he Worked with Beck for four years
on the school's programs.
Schrader's question was
whether Augustadt could have the
hard conversations with a teacher if
needed, he said. "Time will tell, but
I think he can. But, to me, education
is all about building relationships,
and he can do that."
Augustadt hasn't taught math
or reading, Schrader said, but "he
knows what good teaching looks
like."
He knows when students are
engaged and lessons are good,
Schrader said.
Henry is an unbelievably cre-
ative person, Schrader said, and
Oak Heights will be a leader in
technology with her. She knows
what teaching is all about.
She has been heavily involved
with basets d blooms.
CoME ONiN!
in the professional learning com-
munities concept, Schrader said.
"She has been a leader at the Junior
High for that."
"She's going to a great job
working with those kids," Schrader
said.
It's nice to have two new prin-
ciples from the district, he said, and
he noted that among those inter-
viewed were applicants from out-
side of Sweet Home.
The board voted 6-0 to ap-
prove the hires. Present were Chanz
Keeney, Dale Keene, Chairman Ja-
son Redick, Mike Reynolds, Jenny
Daniels and Kevin Burger. Absent
were Mike E. Adams and David
VanDerlip.
