THE Canyon WEEKLY March 2 , 2011 Volume 2 , Issue 9

News and li fe ~ for our side of the mountain!

What to do when the weather can’t decide?

Time to Curl Up with a Good Book !

T u c k e d away at 250 SW 2nd Ave in Mill City in a nonde-s c r i p t building is one of the

Santiam Canyon’s hidden gems. Ten all-volunteer librarians make this their home-away from home. Library volunteer Susann Heller was born and raised in the Santiam Can-yon, graduating from Santiam High School in 1967. She returned after 30 years of teaching special education in Pendleton to be near family and build a new home. In addition to serving on the Mill City city council and helping with senior meals, Susann is chairman of the library board and works 2-4

hours a week as a librarian. “I feel like the community helped form who I am, now it’s my time to give back.” Most libraries are supported by tax dollars, according to volunteer librari-an Sandra Cooper, pictured here (left) at the front desk. “Ours is supported 100% by private donations.” When the library receives duplicate books they donate them to Detroit where efforts are in full swing to open a community center and reading area. The Mill City Library (10a-12p M-Sat, 12:30-3:30p M-Fri) is home to over 10,000 books, movies, recorded books and high speed internet—all available to borrow for the nominal fee of $1 per year for a library card. Start-ed by Barbara Alexa, donations of new & gently used books are welcome. In-fo: (503) 897-4143. For info about De-troit library efforts: 503-854-3496.

Bend-raised resident Randy Posvar

has been working since 2003 to help

seniors and under-insured patients get

their medications in a safe, legal and

cost-effective manner.

Randy Posvar, owner of Prescription

Discount Services, serves as a facilita-

tor between patient’s doctors and over-

seas medication manufacturers.

“The mark-up on these life-saving

drugs in the United States is astronom-

ical,” said Posvar. “The active ingredi-

ent is made here in the U.S., then sent

to places like Canada, the United

Kingdom and New Zealand to be

made into the final product, where la-

bor is cheaper. You can avoid the

mark-up by buying direct from phar-

macies in these countries.”

Prescription Discount Services can

get most medications within 10-14

days, except controlled substances

(illegal to send in the mail) and insulin

(requires refrigeration).

Patients must have a doctor’s pre-

scription and medical profile before an

overseas pharmacy will send the order.

Financial Peace University Coming

to the Canyon: Local Success Story More than one million fami-lies around the globe have at-tended Dave Ramsey’s Finan-cial Peace University with amazing results. Last year, right here in Mill City, 53 local people came together to learn how to save money, avoid debt and spend smarter. On average, these Santiam Canyon families paid off $3,500 in debt and saved $2,200 in just the first 90 days. “After many years of poor financial choices, Cindy and I had been in the process of rebuilding our credit for a while,” said local pastor Bri-an Beyers. “Without a plan, we were making little progress and our dream of owning a home someday seemed like it might never happen. Through what we learned at the local FPU class, we were able to pay off all our outstanding debt (with the exception of student loans) and set aside an emer-gency fund—and now we are purchasing our very first home. Dave Ramsey’s materi-al was huge in helping this to happen. For our next step we’ll concentrate on telling our money where to go, instead of wondering where it went!” Local Financial Peace Uni-versity classes meet 2 hours a week on Tuesday evenings for 13 weeks. The first lesson is totally free. Total price for a couple or individual is $99, which includes a lifetime Fi-nancial Peace University mem-bership. Call Brian Beyers at 503 602-8742 to join. www,daveramsey.com.

Local Retailer Gives Selection While Giving

Back For six and a half years, local resale clothing purveyor Deb Turner has been filling a need for affordable quality right next door to the Santiam Can-yon. Located in Stayton, Deb’s Attic sees many canyon resi-dents who don’t want to drive to Salem for good deals on used clothes—and many other family items, like toys, jewel-ry and games. Much of her items are pur-chased through larger whole-salers, but Deb’s Attic also receives donations from com-munity members—allowing her to donate back to others who are in desperate situa-tions. “I think we’re the best recy-clers in this area,” said Lynda Bradley, part time shop helper and mother of the proprietor. To get there: Follow 1st St in Stayton, it’s on the right be-tween Washington & Ida. For more information, call 503-767-3234.

MCMS 25th Annual Writing Festival The halls were abuzz with budding and excited young writers this past Feb 22 at Mill City Middle School. The festival, started 25 years ago by local teacher Carol Swanson, cele-brates writing and exposes students to the process of becoming a published author in a series of workshops throughout the day. “We learn how to get our words from our heads onto paper, and on to

being published,” explained instructional assistant Karen Baker. “Every stu-dent gets a chance to share their writing.” This year, the event featured Portland au-thor David Greenberg, who writes for the mid-dle school audience and is the author of sever-al books including Slugs, Bugs and Skunks. He presented his latest work A Tugging String, a novel about civil rights (based par-tially on his father’s work as the Martin Luther King Jr.’s lawyer) to the school wide assembly accompanied by “Trillions of photos,” ac-cording to the author.

Author David Greenberg addresses the students.

Santiam High School seniors or past graduates are eligible to apply for a $600 scholarship that was established to encourage further education in the fire and medical fields by the Mill City Volunteer Fire Department. Selection of scholarship winner will be based on scholarship, leadership, participation in school activities, ser-vice to the community, attitude towards education, essay, re-sourcefulness, financial need and fire dept cadet status. Applications are due April 22 and are available at Santiam High School and Mill City Fire Hall. The winner will be present-ed with an award certificate at the senior graduation ceremony. The fund was established in memory of volunteer firefighter Clyde E Golden who died in the

line of duty on June 27, 1982. The 43 year veteran served many positions in the department including training of-ficer, assistant chief and fire chief and was the type of person to reach out to younger members of the community to get them involved. For more information, contact the chairman at 503-897-2390.

Featured Artist Chosen for Canyon

Arts Festival

Local artist Paul Mosby has

been chosen as this year’s fea-

tured artist for the upcoming

Canyon Arts Festival. The Mill

City resident and surrealist style

artist created the featured oil

painting through his strong

emotional appeal and natural

spirituality—as well as by the

Follow Your Heart theme of the

art festival.

“I like the way the avant-garde

subject matter is deeply rooted

in the canyon setting,” said Can-

yon Arts Festival organizer Re-

nate Medley. “I think it is good

for people to see something dif-

ferent.”

The original oil painting by

Paul Mosby will be given to a

festival sponsor and two sizes of

posters will be available for

sale. Visit canyonartsfesti-

val.com for more information.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report

February 23, 2011 503-897-3301

Detroit Lake is much lower

than expected because all the

recent rain and snow is still fro-

zen on the ground. As the

ground thaws, lots of water will

flow into Detroit Lake and will

start to help get the lake filled

by the first week of May. In the

meantime, the trout in Detroit

are concentrated in a smaller

area. It is easier to find them

now than when the lake is full.

The bite is different when the

lake is cold and when the fish

are in different areas.

North Santiam River volume

in February was stable around

1,050 cfs at Packsaddle and

around 2,300 cfs at Mehama.

The lake is 1,480 feet elevation

today. The glaciers on the

slopes of Mount Jefferson,

Three Fingered Jack and

Breitenbush all have plenty of

snow to provide a good runoff

later in the Spring.

Fish numbers have started to

come up the Willamette and into

the Santiam systems. So far,

3,114 steelhead have come

across the Falls at Oregon City.

Some have been coming up-

stream and several have been

caught in the Mehama area.

Freshmen Payton Dupuis and Chase Howard and senior Jacob Strickland spent this past Feb 25-26 at the state wrestling championships at the Portland Coliseum.

The Wolverine men were up against some fierce competition. Payton Dupuis was one of two freshmen in his weight class (130#), wrestling a junior in his first match and the eventual state champion in his second match. Chase Howard was also one of two freshmen in his weight class (135#), performing well in both matches but did not place. Senior Jacob Strickland (189#) won his match against a Gold Beach student, but lost two matches against competing seniors, leaving him one match away from placing. The competitors and their coach left Mill City at 4:15am on Friday for a 6:15am weigh in at the Portland Coliseum. “Overall, we did pretty good,” said head wrestling coach Kerry Crowston. “I really see kids placing next year.”

From the Desk of the

Ranger

By Grady McMahan

As District Ranger for the

Detroit Ranger District of the

Willamette National Forest, I

have come to the end of my

first year on the job. It’s clear

to me that the district is an ex-

ceedingly beautiful and pro-

ductive forest that residents

and visitors can be very proud

of. Our forest provides water,

wood products, recreation op-

portunities, wilderness experi-

ences, habitat for fish and

wildlife, and overall, a healthi-

er and more enjoyable world.

As I visit with residents and

visitors to the area, I’m im-

pressed most by the people and

the rich history of the canyon

and its communities. Your

strong connection and dedica-

tion to the land is evident.

Examples include the story of

Native Tribes, the railroad

construction up the canyon, the

mining history, the construc-

tion of Detroit and Big Cliff

Dams, the forest products in-

dustry, the legacy of Wilder-

ness designations and Opal

Creek Scenic Recreation Area.

All of this makes the Detroit

Ranger District and the sur-

rounding communities an out-

standing place to live and

work.

I look forward to working

with you in managing this

amazing district.

after 2- 4” of snow fell in the lower

Santiam Canyon area. The upper

Santiam Canyon area over 1000 feet received anywhere from 5-18” during the

Friday-Saturday storm, according to NOAA weather gatherer and N. Fork resi-

dent Brian Huber. The Monday snowfall (right) was reported at 6” in Mill City

by local resident Sheila Hoover. The fluffy precipitation closed schools, can-

celled events and had many in the canyon engaged in snowball fights.

ASAP Birthday Party By Trinity Saunders

The After School Activities

Program had a birthday party

for all the kids in their group

this past Tuesday, Feb. 22.

The event was held at the

Mari-Linn science lab. They

started the fun

with an inter-

active story

then went on

to a game of

pin the tail on

the donkey and

finally CAKE TIME!! All that

fun was just for the kids and to

celebrate everyone's birthday.

How is it that one match can start a forest fire, but

it takes a whole box of matches to start a camp-

fire? ~Christy Whitehead
