By Karen Widmer One of the best jokes about living in the North Santiam Canyon is merely the mention of Gates International Airport. Gates has an airport? Yes, indeed, since 1949. However its not used much these days by actual passenger planes. Located just south of Gates at the east end of Kingwood Avenue, the airport is actually known as Davis Airport, and is a popular spot for a growing group of remote controlled aircraft enthusiasts. Jim Green of Mill City was there this week-end with 11 flying machines, including a T-Tail plane with a 9’8” wingspan that can travel up to 120 mph, and a quad-copter that looks like an alien spaceship and hovers like a helicopter. This weekend, in honor of Veterans Day, Green brought out an extended display, and sat chairs out in the field to provide a spot to rest. Adults and children alike milled about gawking at the ingenuity, while Green kept a busy eye on the sky. A people person, he readily answered questions and even helped a couple boys attach their “lego-guys” to a plane for a flight adventure.

“That was awesome!” shouted 7 year old Odin Bogle, as his “guy” took to the air. Green has been flying radio control (RC) since he was 8 years old and it has developed from a hobby to a passion to a business. He’s the owner of Sky-High Northwest, a profes-sional RC parts and service business based out of his home. A trailer packed full of planes and parts travels with him to Davis Airport each weekend as he introduces new-comers to the sport. Right now he, and several other local RC enthusiasts are starting a club, and are invit-ing anyone interested to join. Green teaches basic RC skills, $10 for an hour lesson, but that will be free with club membership. “We’re trying to build an interest here. Most people learn in about 2 weeks, if they’re out flying every other day,” said Green. “And the costs have come way down. When I was a kids these things went for over $1000, now you can get into a really nice machine for $150.” Info: Jim Green 503-897-7345, or stop by Davis Airport most every Saturday and Sun-day, weather permitting.

RC club honors veterans with flying exhibition

Santiam students take first & runner up as

Linn County First Citizens Santiam High School Seniors McKenzie Reeser, ASB President, and Matt Schroeder, Senior Class President, represented Santiam Jr/Sr High School at the Linn Coun-ty Junior First Citizen Awards competition in Albany. Reeser won the award for Junior First Citizen Girl, and Schroeder was Runner Up for the Junior First Citizen Boy award. Students are nominated based upon civic, scholastic, activities, leadership, citizenship and person-ality qualities. They are chosen from a group of students representing all Linn County high schools, who then go through a lengthy interview process and submit an essay. In addition to it being an honor of great merit, the winning students also are awarded a $500 savings bond, while the remaining nominees receive a $250 bond. All also have to opportunity to represent their school in Al-bany’s nationally acclaimed Veterans Day Parade. “It was a real blessing, just the fact that I got to meet all those other candidates that get involved in their com-munities, and work so hard to achieve their goals. Some-

times I feel all alone in working so hard, so it’s just awesome to be in a program that recognizes our efforts,” said McK-enzie Reeser, who hopes to attend the University of Oregon and earn a degree in the medical field. “This is such a great honor, for both our family and our school district,” said her dad, Todd Reeser.

The North Santiam Eagles Lodge held an event honoring veterans Sunday the 11th and welcomed non-members to partici-pate as well. This was the first of an an-nual event to show support, appreciation and honor for Veterans past and present. The goal is to raise more awareness for veterans and to support more charitable needs in the future. President Tom White, states he is “thankful for the people who have given us the freedom we enjoy.” A slide show ran continuously on one of the televisions, showing a variety of dif-ferent military related images submitted

by members, and an entertaining look at individuals past and current service pho-tos. The Aerie (men) and the Auxiliary (women) volunteered in order make this happen, and the ladies also prepared a spaghetti feast for the crowd. Giovannis Mountain pizza kindly donated a pizza which was raffled. The men and women of the Eagles come together to provide money to many charities in and outside of the Canyon. If you have questions, ideas or would like to contribute photos to be scanned and used for future slide shows please email [email protected] or call 503-897-3100.

A Day of Honor

Eagles Lodge: Celebration of Memories

Santiam Hearts to Arts, the local non-profit dedicated to brings Arts of all kind to the people of the Santiam corridor have been proud to present on several occasions the amazing works of Theater Outreach Direc-tor Dave Berrier. Dave and his crew have selflessly entertained us at Santiam Audi-torium with such amazing works as Sarah Plain and Tall and The 39 Steps. Right now, they continue their mission working with the schools in Mill City to bring our stage to life with a musical rendi-tion of Sleeping Beauty, composed entirely of local young talent who have been practic-ing every Friday in preparation for a Janu-ary opening. The following letter was sent to their fans and supporters, as the founders of this mis-sion have mostly funded the program them-selves. We pass this on to our readers to

consider this non-profit in your end of year giving plans: Theater Outreach is comprised of artists and friends who have the belief that the Arts change lives. As you have been around our productions you can attest to the fact that individual lives as well as many families’ lives have been enhanced and or impacted in numerous and positive ways. Today we are asking you to join with us to do some-thing vital that will ensure the security of our theater group in the heart of Marion County for years to come. For two years, the doors at Theater Out-reach have remained open largely due to Dave Berrrier and his family carrying all of the financial responsibility. With the econo-my still in flux and the funding for the arts continuing to be cut, your response to this letter is more important than ever. We liter-

ally can’t do it without you! Being part of such a flourishing, creative company makes me proud. In the past two years we have gained major recognition in our region. We look forward to seeing more fellow actors, directors, designers, stage managers and writers joining us in the days to come. That is why we are not shy today in asking for your generous support.We are urgently in need of two things at this time: in the next ten days we must raise $5,000 to keep the lights on and we must raise $1,000 in monthly support. Raising these funds at this time is impera-tive! Your support enables us to shift the burden of the finances off the Berrier Fam-ily as well as begin the process to ensure Theater Outreach’s future! Your tax-deductible donation will make a real difference in the life

Theater Outreach seeks donations to continue thespian mission

By Bruce Brunstad, Adjutant Officer, American Legion Post 159

It was a cold and solemn day in the cemetery, complete with wind and rain, but it didn’t stop Ameri-can Legion Post 159 from showing up to honor our veterans. At least a dozen uniformed members of the Legion were there to pay their re-spects. The Ladies Auxiliary was also there, serving cookies and hot coffee, which was much appreciated by everyone standing there shiver-ing in the cold. The activity began at 12 Noon, following the Veter-

ans’ breakfast put on by the Honor Society at Santiam High School. A speech was delivered by JD Horton, the post commander, and a prayer was offered by John Horton, the post chaplain. After the speech, a ceremo-nial wreath was placed beneath the American flag honoring all deceased veterans, followed by a six-man rifle salute and the playing of TAPS on a bugle. There weren’t nearly as many civilian observers there this year, due to the harsh weather, but it’s almost a certainty that everyone there felt the presentation was tasteful and fitting

The river is scheduled to drop starting on Thursday, and by Friday evening it should be around 2,500

cubic feet per second flow at Packsaddle. Me-hama and Green’s Bridge flows will be higher because of the Little North Fork and all the other tributaries. At that flow, there are many good river runs and fishing drifts, especially in the middle and lower river sections. De-troit Lake needs to drop another 20 feet by December 1 to meet flood control standards, and river levels depend on current rainfall, current snowmelt, and the amount necessary to drain the lake to the winter level. The fore-cast reflects those factors, and the weather changes quickly here sometimes. So do the forecasts. Mill City to Mehama has plenty of big whitewater and great scenery and a few fish swimming through to get to the upper river when the temperature is right. There is some daily migration and fishing is dependant on timing. North Santiam Watershed Council met on November 8 and numerous projects were dis-cussed. Students from several schools would like to do projects on the river to improve both fish conditions and habitat. The council is getting ideas about projects. Recent work with weed removal and tree planting has been successful. Steelheaders Salem Chapter meets on No-vember 20 in Keizer Community Center at

7:00 p.m., and Matt Halseth will present a program on his guided fishing trips on the lower Willamette, the Columbia, and Tilla-mook area. River projects may be discussed also. Thanksgiving is on November 22, this year, and this usually is the time of year that Winter Steelhead start to come into fresh water from the ocean. A few have already started coming over Willamette Falls in Oregon City, but the big numbers will not start until next year. North Santiam River Guides Association meets on November 28 (Wednesday) at 6:00 p.m. at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aumsville. The boat ramp at Packsaddle will be discussed, and input is needed about possible modifi-cations to deepen the area at the end of the ramp while still allowing for salmon spawn-ing in the area. There will be a special meet-ing about this in January, and input is needed before then. Steelheaders Salem Chapter has a potluck dinner and meeting on December 18 in Keiz-er Community Center. The Chapter is pro-viding roast beef and ham, and attendees are encouraged to bring side dishes. North Santiam River Guides Association has their annual banquet on January 19 (Sat-urday). They will also have a regular meeting on Jan. 23, so that Karen Hans from ODFW can talk to the group about plans for Packsad-dle boat ramp. R&E grant money is available, but planning must be done and submitted by February deadlines for work this year.

Corrections: our apologies It looks like the editorial staff was a bit distracted with last Tuesday’s elections, and so we have a couple corrections we’d like to make. Our apologies for any confusion. Moral vs morale: In the article on the back

page about the school board meeting, we reported that the Santiam Canyon schools were having an all staff confidential survey, in part to evaluate the moral of the staff. The correct word, in this case, is morale. According to Webster’s online dictionary the word morale is defined as: the mental and emotional condition (as of enthusiasm, confidence, or loyalty) of an individual or group with regard to the function or tasks at hand. Thus, the all staff confidential survey that the teachers and auxiliary staff request-ed to participate in will be evaluating this.Moral, on the other hand is: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior. Also, we know the Santiam VolleyBall Teams are the Lady Wolverines, and the Wolverettes are our awesome dance team. Somehow that passed right by, as our head-line above the volleyball teams announced the Santiam Wolverettes. Our sincere apol-ogies to both teams.

October 2012 Tigers of the MonthBy Roseanna Juhola, SCSD Last Thursday, the Santiam Can-yon School Board made the deci-sion to hire Kirk Hutchinson as a part-time Agriculture Science teacher at Santiam High School. Mr. Hutchinson has committed to teach and mentor our kids in the classroom through our Career Technical Education program, as well as in the FFA activities through the Oregon State Fair next fall. He will be working with Santiam students on Friday mornings, using a proficiency model to help students gain course credit while working with them on their Student Agriculture Experiences activities. Kirk recently retired, after a long and storied career in Per-rydale as an Agriculture Science teacher and FFA leader in Or-egon; including national champions on a number of occasions. We are grateful for his willingness and enthusiasm to work with our FFA students so they don’t lose out on this valuable experience. Welcome to Santiam, Mr. Hutchinson!

It Takes a Hive: Mari-Linn School hosts Red Carpet Gala for movie project

Collaboration with Stayton High video productions class and Project Chain Reaction highlights students being safe, respectful and responsible

Mari-Linn School will be hosting a Red Carpet Gala to premier their hour long, grass roots production of It Takes A Hive on Tuesday, November 27, 6:30pm at the Mari-Linn gym. It Takes a Hive is a collaborative film-ing effort between Stayton High School video class, Mari-Linn School students and staff, and Project Chain Reaction. The movie highlights the three guiding principals of Mari-Linn School: promot-ing a safe, respectful and responsible learning environment. Grades K-8 were assigned the task of coming up with a way to promote a safe, respectful and responsible learning envi-ronment. They created skits, poems, and songs, while the staff created a surprise beginning and ending. “The entire student body was involved in some way,” said Mari-Linn School Prin-cipal Jeri Loftus. “It was a lot of fun doing the filming. The biggest challenge was getting the schedule and making sure everyone was able to participate. The kindergartners

were nervous about “big” kids coming in, but the high school kids were able to go in a little early and meet them. They all had a great time.” Stayton High video productions class filmed the students and staff at Mari-Linn earlier this month. After filming, they ed-ited the vignettes into a movie, adding music and using other techniques. It Takes a Hive tickets are on sale now at Mari-Linn School (also available at the door). $5 per person or $20 per family of 6. Each ticket also receives 3 food vouch-ers. DVDs are $10, with $1 going toward the SHS video productions class. “We want to show how working together as a team, we can accomplish building a Safe, Respectful and Responsible learn-ing environment,” said Tammi Burns, Project Chain Reaction organizer. The event and production is sponsored by these local businesses: Lyons Heating and Cooling, State Farm Insurance, Dave Valencia, STR and Whitewater Signs.

Christmas tree permits will soon be avail-able at all Willamette National Forest Dis-trict offices and the Bureau of Land Man-agement.

They allow the holders to cut one tree on designated areas of Forest Service land;

maximum of five permits per household. BLM permits are $5.50 each and for a spe-cific area managed by the BLM; maximum of three permits per household. Visitors can purchase permits and receive maps of cutting areas at offices on weekdays from 8am-4:30pm. Info: 541-225-6300.You can also purchase your Christmas Tree Permits at these local businesses:

Soon it will be looking a lot like Christ-mas all around the little hamlet of Gates. The town has a new live Christmas tree freshly planted near the Gazebo thanks to a donation of a lovely 9 foot tall Noble Fir donated by Don and Carol Cree. Gates Mayor Mike Higgs and Greg Ben-thin, Public Works Superintendent, both dug the tree up and replanted it this past week, getting the roots in the ground just in time for the rains. Poinsettias are arriving at Gates Post Of-fice Saturday, December 1 and will be on sale 9am-12:30pm, then throughout the next week until all are sold. Sandra Rupert of the Gates Neighborhood Watch heads up this popular event as an annual fund-raiser. Pre-orders can be made by calling 503-897-2966. On December 8, the town comes together

for their first ever Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. The Community Chorus will be leading the revellers in carolling while cookies and hot cider are served. And we hear that Santa may be making an appear-ance for this momentous occasion, bring-ing presents for all the children. The following week, Gates Post Office hosts the Gingerbread Village Contest. Anyone can enter and add to the village which will be on display in the lobby until Christmas, and children can pick up their picture for the annual Christmas coloring contest which will be judged on December 15 at 1pm. Later that evening, the increasingly com-petitive outdoor lighting contest will be judged, as a team of volunteers travel about Gates and the surrounding rural areas to view all the displays.

Joseph’s Storehouse of Hope, a canyon-wide food bank program, recently started a family adoption aspect to their distribu-tion to help keep the program viable. So far, they have 15 households who have been adopted, but still have another 185 households left in both the Lyons-Mehama and Detroit-Idanha areas, said Pas-tor Troy Gulstrom. “It costs about $600-800 per month to ef-fectively operate the food bank,” said Pastor Gulstrom. “This pro-gram would allow the costs to be covered by (the Storehouse) instead of just the churches.” The food comes from the Marion-Polk Food Share, and three churches in the Lyons-Mehama area all work together to distribute it: Canyon Bible Fellowship, Santiam Chapel and Mehama Commu-nity Church. They serve 200 households per month between Idanha-Detroit and Mehama-Lyons. “We take 45 households worth of food to Idanha-Detroit,” said Pastor Gulstrom. “The remaining 155 house-holds are in the Mehama-Lyons area.” Just this year, the group has given out close to 230,000 pounds of food to needy families. “That’s a lot of food representing fami-

lies that have had a burden lifted and freed up cash in other parts of their budgets,” said Pastor Gulstrom. The group thanks the 50-80 volunteers who help organize and coordinate the dis-tribution and welcome any new help. “We desire to give a “hand up” not a

“hand out”, said Pas-tor Gulstrom. The group distributes food at Mari-Linn School in Lyons on the sec-ond to last Saturday of each month, or as listed below. Contact the Store-house at [email protected] or via facebook: Joseph’s Storehouse of Hope. To adopt a random household, mail your $60 check to JSOH PO Box 40 Mehama,
