The search to find someone to take
over their work was tough, Ames
stressed, as he estimated only two or
three glass blowers around the state
do the work we did. But they found
one in the Milwaukee area who will
continue working with Erways clients
and equipment.
That work consisted almost entirely
of unique scientific glass pieces, which
the University of Wisconsin-Madison
and companies such as Covance used

Its a notable accomplishment even
if he was the only employee besides
Norm and Willie Erway, who started
the business in 1947.
I didnt know if I should call them
Mr. and Mrs. Erway or Norm and Willie, Ames recalled with a laugh of
when he was hired by the couple as a
20 year old.
That rare business which many in
Oregon may not have known about
closed this month. Both of the Erways
died in recent years.
Their daughter, Tracy Burton,
worked with Ames to find someone
else to serve the Erway clients and
move out the equipment from the basement in the family home at 686 N. Oak

Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad, with individual businesses will not be printed
unless there is an overwhelming
and compelling public interest to
do so. Letters that urge readers to
patronize specific businesses or
specific religious faiths will not be
printed, either. Thank-you letters can be printed under limited
circumstances, provided they do
not contain material that should
instead be placed as an advertisement and reflect public, rather than
promotional interests.

on issues, but it reserves the right

Take It!
If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom
and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War,
slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision
about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given
the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision.
But we can learn something from this example. We can be
enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits
of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going
to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we
have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing
to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children
get used to their parents making most of their decisions for
them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human
will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be
free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have
the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to
become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan
into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, Plan the
work and work the plan. Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isnt going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm,
then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery.

Kids with Oregon Youth Wrestling wave to the crowd from their Olympics-themed float during the parade Sunday.
Sunny weather and warm temperatures ushered in the first day of Summer Fest Thursday, June 23, and continued throughout the weekend. The annual festival once again packed people into Kiser Park for the midway rides and had plenty of
attendees to watch volleyball, softball and tug-of-war tournaments. The parade highlighted Saturday, with families trying to
find a spot in the shade to beat the nearly 90-degree heat. Some acts in the parade, which had an Olympics theme prevalent in many of the floats, passed out flavored freeze sticks instead of candy.

Growing by one
Twelve years into business, the Erways
needed help. They went down the street and
talked to my folks, as Ames put it, and it
just went from there.
In the beginning, Ames was nervous to
live up to their standards, and his hands
would often sweat during the work.
It would come out with my fingerprints
on it, he recalled.
Soon enough, though, he was working
at their level from 8a.m. to 5p.m., then
heading back down into the basement from
9p.m. to midnight to finish that days work,
when he would often watch Johnny Carson
in a mirror on his work stand aimed at the
TV.
Experiences like that, and the family
atmosphere that Burton spoke highly of,
made the basement at 686 N. Oak St. a
memorable place, even as it was emptied
out for the final time.
I always looked forward to going to work
Monday morning, Ames said. I consider
myself very, very lucky to be involved.
Beginning
The pair of glass blowers, both chemistry
majors, met at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.
Norm was lucky to have a professor ask
him to teach a glass blowing class when the
professors eyesight was too poor.
Soon after, Norm was asked to work as a
glass blower on the Manhattan Project. That
kept him interested, and he came to UW
to get his masters in chemistry. His fellow
masters students would regularly ask him
to blow glass devices for them, and he and
Willie realized they could potentially start a
business.
Because they had the scientific background they had the skill to understand
the experiment, Burton said.
They moved their business into a barn on
the newly purchased property of Willies
father before building the house that stands
today on the same property.
From there, they found organic expansion through knowing other academics.
They never had to advertise, Burton added.
Photos submitted
Adventures
Norm and Willie had much more to their
lives than their business.
They went through some wild experiences, too, Ames said.
Burton and Ames laughed as they shared
what they considered the most extreme stories about the couple. Burton described a
time when the pair got stuck on a ski lift at
night, with them yelling at the top of their
lungs until a group of cross country skiers
heard them and went to the lodge for help.
Dad called me the next day and he said,

STEAM: Now, education experts and school gurus are ... recognizing the importance of art.

fits perfectly with the goal of
STEAM education.

mathematical skills for timing, English and language
arts for storytelling structure, he said.
Derrick said while
STEAM itself is a relatively
new term, what it embodies
has actually been happening
since the days of his favorite proponent, Leonardo da
Vinci.
He was Mr. STEAM way
back in the 15th century,
he said. Now, education
experts and school gurus
are starting to recognize the
importance of art and how
beneficial it can be in other
areas of a schools curriculum.
Michael Lucas and Nick Raemisch work on a STEAM project in class last semester.
and critical thinking skills
emerge when the student is
confronting real-world problems, he said.
For instance, in the principles of engineering course,
students design, test and
revise solutions to problems
using elements of computer-assisted design and
data collection. In applied
physics, students design a
low-cost and sustainable
light source for impoverished areas, testing, revising, reflecting and defending

Career possibilities
District information director Jon Tanner said there has
been a big push from the
federal and state governments on STEM careers to
avoid a future shortage of
technically skilled workers.
OSD school-to-work coordinator Greg Granberg said
employers these days are
looking for people who can
combine skills from a variety of disciplines featured in
STEAM education.
Theyre looking for the
ability to jump between
those areas, and connect
those areas, he said. Im
getting more and more
phone calls from more and
employers saying, I need
students for a STEAM-related career; more than I saw
four years ago.
Problem-solving is also a
skill in high demand, Granberg said, something the
district emphasizes from the
very beginning.
(Employers are) looking for teamwork, and they
dont want their employees
thinking inside the box,
he said. They want, Here
is the issue we need to
address, here are some solutions, here are some pros
and cons to each solution,
and working them out to a
final design. In education,
we know that problem-solving that realistic application of knowledge is more
and more important, and
education has been shifting
there.
In Oregon, students are
working on more project-based and problem-based scenarios than
ever before, he said.
Maybe 30 years ago, you
would do a worksheet of
math problems, Granberg
said. Now, its more story
problems how do you find
your solution? Were moving from an industrial to an
information society from
putting widgets together to solving problems. We
need our students to be able
to think and problem-solve,
and not just solve very simple problems.
