Local Speak In this segment, we ask local
residents their opinions on a topic subject. Opinions are not representative
of The Canyon Weekly.
Do you feel that students should be required to
maintain certain grades to play in
sports?
“Yes, I do. It’s important to be well rounded and educated for the future. Kids need to have a higher level of educa-tion.”
Kerry Crowston, head wrestling coach at SHS, Mill City
“Boy, there’s two sides to that coin isn’t there...if chil-dren with low grades are able to join sports, maybe it will bring them up. But then, it’s a prize for the kids with good grades. Fortunately, I’ve nev-er had to make that decision with my daughter.”
Leslie Lewis, Lyons
“Yes, because I don’t think that they need an extra-curricular activity if they don’t maintain their grades.”
Anna Montandon, Mehama
“Yes, because education comes first.”
Crystal Loftin, Lyons
“Yes.” Val Harris, Lyons
“Absolutely...extra-curricular activity is reward not just a right. Kids that know the al-phabet should be able to get at least C’s”
Noal Hardman, Lyons
Firefighters from the Lyons & Stayton Fire
Departments at a “Burn to Learn” this past Feb 15
on Main St in Lyons. The house was partially
burned several months ago due to an electrical
shortage. Scheduled “Burn to Learn” events are
used as a training to teach firefighting techniques
under more controlled environments.
Conveniently located across the parking lot from Santiam Memorial Hospital and
proudly serving the Santiam Canyon.

grader Cody Tompkins performs; students from Mr. Plotts’ 4th grade class.
Master fiddler Kelly Thibodeaux is back for week two of fiddle lessons for students at Gates Elementary, and sat-isfied smiles abound during practice time with Mr. Plotts fourth grade class this past Feb 22. “I like all of it,” said Riley Carlson, age 10. “I’d like to keep taking lessons.” That sentiment was echoed repeatedly by student, teachers, and parents alike.
“Music is an integral part of the hu-man experience,” explained fiddler Thibodeaux. “Take that away and we’re truly missing something.” Local parent and business owner Keri Sanders is spearheading a plan to obtain ongoing fiddle lessons for stu-dents who continue to show interest. For more information, Keri Sanders can be reached at 503-897-6004.

Turn Your Trash Into Music Lessons
It may be the easiest way yet to support our schools. No selling, no buying, just re-cycling! Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Hugen-berger’s kindergarten class at Gates Elemen-tary, along with some dedicated volunteers, we now have a new and painless way to generate funds to help bring arts and music to the students of the Santiam Canyon. Here’s a list of trash the school is now ac-cepting:
Foil juice pouches: any brand, like Capri Sun®, or Honest Kids®. Just remove the straw and gather in a large plastic baggie.
Candy bar wrappers: any brand, any size (really!) M&M’s®, Skittles®, Cadbury®, you eat it, the school gets 2 cents for your wrapper. (No candy boxes or gum wrap-pers, please.)
Chip bags: any brand, any size = 2 cents.
Lunch kits: any brand, any size , such as Lunchables®. Every part accepted except for the cardboard, which can be recycled as usual in the blue bins. Just bring your empty packaging to Gates Elementary during normal school hours. Your trash will be sent, at no charge to the school, to the folks at Terracycle.net who transform difficult to recycle items into an array of useful items from eco-cool designer handbags to fence posts and garbage cans. Then twice a year the school gets a check. For more information and some fun games to play, check out ww.terracycle.net. Call Gates Elementary at 503-897-2191 for drop off hours.
Gates Elementary Cookie Dough Fundraiser Now here’s the most delicious way to help our local kids—in either an easy
scoop tub or proportioned ready to bake. Fresh cookies are always a welcome
treat. Check in with your local Gates Elementary student today! There are ten
flavors to choose from, including Oatmeal Raisin and Walnut Chocolate
Chunk. For more information, call Gates Elementary at 503-897-2191.

The addition of six new park benches and trash cans grace the Mill City and Gates area thanks to the Ford Family Leadership group, Wolverines Working for You, donations from local busi-nesses and a generous grant from Siletz Tribal Charitable Fund.

The Language of Dance “This class is a great way to really let go and let the male lead,” said Stacie Cook about last Sunday’s introductory class. “Caroll spelled it out step by step, it was painless. Eric and I both had a great date night.” Dance instructor Caroll Hueller has been teaching dance for over 20 years, and empha-sizes trust between partners as being the main component of success. “Leave your troubles at the door and give yourselves the oppor-tunity to learn dance as a new language, a new way to communicate.”
City of Lyons Tallies Survey Results The City of Lyons released the results of a city wide volunteer response survey

Bill Sanderson’s River Report
February 23, 2011 503-897-3301
We now have 2,851 steelhead
in the system. That does not
include the uncounted summer
steelhead, and several steelhead
in the Mehama area. The offi-
cial counts for those summer
fish will start the first of March.
Fishermen's Bend to Mehama
has great medium difficulty
whitewater and many mild
thrills. The fish numbers will
increase as the season matures.
Packsaddle to Fishermen's
Bend has the biggest whitewater
and the most thrills of all the
drifts on the river. There are
some good numbers of steel-
head already up at Packsaddle,
but most of the run is in the
lower river. Bank fishing at
Minto Park, Packsaddle is ideal,
especially around the entrance
of Mad Creek into the main riv-
er. The tricky and large rapids
cause this drift to have less fish-
ing traffic than the lower drifts.
If the weather is dry, we should
be boating and fishing.
If the weather is wet, we
should be planning trips for bet-
ter weather and attending the
meetings that put us together
with our boating and fishing
friends.
